Identification, Expression and Activity of Candidate Nitrite Reductases From Orange Beggiatoaceae, Guaymas Basin [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Orange filamentous Beggiatoaceae form massive microbial mats on hydrothermal sediments in Guaymas Basin; these bacteria are considered to oxidize sulfide with nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptors.

Identification of a tyrosine switch in copper-haem nitrite reductases [PDF]
IUCrJ, 2018 There are few cases where tyrosine has been shown to be involved in catalysis or the control of catalysis despite its ability to carry out chemistry at much higher potentials (1 V versus NHE). Here, it is shown that a tyrosine that blocks the hydrophobic

Intramolecular Electron Transfer in Nitrite Reductases [PDF]
ChemPhysChem, 2005 AbstractThe copper‐ and heme‐containing nitrite reductases (NiRs) are key enzymes in denitrification. Their subunits contain two distinct redox‐active metal centers, an electron‐accepting site and a nitrite‐reducing site, to carry out the single‐electron reduction of nitrite to nitic oxide. Catalytic cycles of both enzyme families employ intramolecular

Immunocytochemical Localization of Nitrite Reductase in Green Algae [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1991 The distribution of nitrite reductase (EC 1.7.7.1) in the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Monoraphidium braunii, Chlorella fusca, and Scenedesmus obliquus was studied by immunoelectron microscopy. The labeling of ultrathin cryosections was performed with anti-nitrite reductase antibodies followed by gold-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibodies. In C.

Co‐regulated expression of nitrate and nitrite reductases
The Plant Journal, 1991 SummaryThe regulation of nitrate and nitrite reductases (NR and NiR, respectively) expression was compared in wild‐type and NR‐deficient (n/a) Nicotiana plumbaginifolia plants. In wild‐type plants, NiR and NR mRNA levels fluctuated according to a circadian rhythm, with similar timing of maximal and minimal transcript accumulation.

Endothelial alpha globin is a nitrite reductase [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractResistance artery vasodilation in response to hypoxia is essential for matching tissue oxygen and demand. In hypoxia, erythrocytic hemoglobin tetramers produce nitric oxide through nitrite reduction. We hypothesized that the alpha subunit of hemoglobin expressed in endothelium also facilitates nitrite reduction proximal to smooth muscle.
