Histochemical localization of nitrate reductase

Histochemistry, 1981
NADH-dependent nitrate reductase (E.C. 1.6.6.1) was ultrastructurally localized in norflurazon-treated and control soybean cotyledons [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] by a method based upon the increase in osmiophilia due to the formation of an azo dye. The reaction product was observed in small vesicles throughout the cytoplasm.

Nitrate reductases inEscherichia coli

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1994
Escherichia coli expresses two different membrane-bound respiratory nitrate reductases, nitrate reductase A (NRA) and nitrate reductase Z (NRZ). In this review, we compare the genetic control, biochemical properties and regulation of these two closely related enzyme systems.

The nitrate reductase of Chlorella pyrenoidosa

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1971
Abstract 1. 1. A nitrate reductase (NADH:nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1), which catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite by NADH, has been found to be present in fresh extracts of nitrate-grown Chlorella pyrenoidosa in the form of a precursor of low activity.

Properties of a nitrate reductase of Chlorella

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1972
Abstract 1. An NADH-nitrate oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.6.1) of Chlorella has the unusual property of existing in cell-free extracts mainly in the form of an inactive precursor which can be activated by a variety of procedures. This enzyme is associated with a cytochrome of the b type. 2. The inhibitors, azide, cyanate, thiocyanate and nitrite, react

The Prokaryotic Nitrate Reductases

2007
This chapter reviews the structural organization and bioenergetics of the four prokaryotic NO3 reductases and the eukaryotic enzyme and explores the possible mechanisms of NO3 transport. The membrane-bound NO3- reductase with the active site facing the cytoplasm is usually a three-subunit enzyme composed of NarGHI.

Reductive activation of nitrate reductases

Dalton Transactions, 2005
Protein film voltammetry of Paracoccus pantotrophus respiratory nitrate reductase (NarGH) and Synechococcus elongatus assimilatory nitrate reductase (NarB) shows that reductive activation of these enzymes may be required before steady state catalysis is observed.

A method for the determination of nitrate reductase

Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods, 1981
A procedure for the assay of nitrate reductase based on Szekely's diaminodiphenylsulphone method of nitrate determination (Szekely, E. (1967) Talanta 14, 941-950) is described. The method is simple and sensitive, allowing determination of 1 microgram of nitrate in a volume of 1 ml or less.

Activation of nitrate reductase by oxidation

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1972
Abstract The activation of the inactive form of the nitrate reductase (NADH: nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1) present in cell-free extracts of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck requires an oxidizing agent. Ferricyanide causes conversion of the proenzyme to active enzyme within a few minutes, even at 0°C. Molecular oxygen causes a slow activation which

INDEPENDENT EFFECTS OF PHYTOCHROME AND NITRATE ON NITRATE REDUCTASE AND NITRITE REDUCTASE ACTIVITIES IN MAIZE [PDF]

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1984
Abstract— Involvement of phytochrome in the regulation of nitrate reductase (NR) and nitrite reductase (NIR) activities in excised, etiolated leaves of Zea mays (L.) variety ‘Ganga‐5’ is demonstrated using low energy and high irradiance responses of phytochrome action.

Bacterial dimethyl sulphoxide reductases and nitrate reductases

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1991

Evidently, considerable rearrangement of charge driven by reduction significantly raises the effective dielectric. It seems likely that centres S-2 and FR-2 are apparently low-potential clusters merely
