Nitrate and periplasmic nitrate reductases. [PDF]
Chem Soc Rev, 2014 The nitrate anion is a simple, abundant and relatively stable species, yet plays a significant role in global cycling of nitrogen, global climate change, and human health. Although it has been known for quite some time that nitrate is an important species environmentally, recent studies have identified potential medical applications.

The Regulation of Nitrate Reductases in Response to Abiotic Stress in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 The two homologous genes, NIA1 and NIA2, encode nitrate reductases in Arabidopsis, which govern the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. This step is the rate-limiting step of the nitrate assimilation and utilization.

Post-Translational Modifications of Nitrate Reductases Autoregulates Nitric Oxide Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Nitric oxide (NO) is a regulator of growth, development, and stress responses in living organisms. Plant nitrate reductases (NR) catalyze the reduction of nitrate to nitrite or, alternatively, to NO.

Aerobic and anaerobic removal of lead and mercury via calcium carbonate precipitation mediated by statistically optimized nitrate reductases. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 The nonbiodegradability nature of heavy metals renders them resident in food chain and subsequently, destructing the entire ecosystem. Therefore, this study aimed to employ nitrate reduction-driven calcium carbonate precipitation in remediation of lead ...

A dual functional redox enzyme maturation protein for respiratory and assimilatory nitrate reductases in bacteria. [PDF]
Mol Microbiol, 2019 Nitrate is available to microbes in many environments due to sustained use of inorganic fertilizers on agricultural soils and many bacterial and archaeal lineages have the capacity to express respiratory (Nar) and assimilatory (Nas) nitrate reductases to

Nitrate Reductases Are Relocalized to the Nucleus by AtSIZ1 and Their Levels Are Negatively Regulated by COP1 and Ammonium. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2018 Nitrate reductases (NRs) catalyze the first step in the reduction of nitrate to ammonium. NR activity is regulated by sumoylation through the E3 ligase activity of AtSIZ1. However, it is not clear how NRs interact with AtSIZ1 in the cell, or how nitrogen

Migraines Are Correlated with Higher Levels of Nitrate-, Nitrite-, and Nitric Oxide-Reducing Oral Microbes in the American Gut Project Cohort [PDF]
mSystems, 2016 Nitrates, such as cardiac therapeutics and food additives, are common headache triggers, with nitric oxide playing an important role. Facultative anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity may contribute migraine-triggering levels of nitric oxide through the ...

Loss of nitrate reductases NIA1 and NIA2 impairs stomatal closure by altering genes of core ABA signaling components in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Plant Signal Behav, 2016 Nitrate reductases NIA1 and NIA2 determine NO production in plants and are critical to abscisic acid (ABA)-induced stomatal closure. However, the role for NIA1 and NIA2 in ABA signaling has not been paid much attention in nitrate reductase loss-of ...

Nitrate reduction functional genes and nitrate reduction potentials persist in deeper estuarine sediments. Why? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) are processes occurring simultaneously under oxygen-limited or anaerobic conditions, where both compete for nitrate and organic carbon.
