Structure and molecular evolution of multicopper blue proteins
Biomolecular Concepts, 2010 The multicopper blue protein family, which contains cupredoxin-like domains as a structural unit, is one of the most diverse groups of proteins. This protein family is divided into two functionally different types of enzymes: multicopper oxidase and ...

Nitrite accumulation during storage of tomato fruit as prevented by hydrogen gas
International Journal of Food Properties, 2019 The adverse effects of intake nitrite upon human health are well known. However, eating fruits and vegetables is one of the main pathways to absorb nitrite because of nitrogen assimilation in plants.

Distribution of Denitrification among Haloarchaea: A Comprehensive Study
Microorganisms, 2021 Microorganisms from the Halobacteria class, also known as haloarchaea, inhabit a wide range of ecosystems of which the main characteristic is the presence of high salt concentration.

Anti-oxidant effect of nitrite in the pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic male rats [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2023 Objective(s): Nitrite, a nitric oxide (NO) donor, increases insulin secretion from pancreatic islets and has positive metabolic effects in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we test the hypothesis of whether nitrite-induced insulin secretion is due to blunting

Regulation of Nitrite Reductase [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1987 A protein with molecular mass of 67 kilodaltons is immunoprecipitated from in vitro translated products obtained from rabbit reticulocyte lysate primed with polyadenylated RNA from nitrate treated illuminated pea seedlings. This protein resembles the native nitrite reductase because of its competitive elimination when immunoprecipitation of in vitro ...

Dissimilatory Nitrite and Nitric Oxide Reductases [PDF]
Chemical Reviews, 1996 The inorganic nitrogen cycle (Figure 1) consists of several linked biological processes and one abiological process, the reaction of N2 and O2 in lightning discharges and internal combustion engines to produce NOx and, ultimately, nitrate. All of the processes except nitrogen fixation involve reduction or oxidation of species containing N-O bonds of ...

Influence of lead on N03 uptake and reduction in cucumber seedlings
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The influence of PbCl2 on NO3- uptake and activity level of nitrate (NR) and nitrite MR) reductases in cotyledons and roots of cucumber seedlings was studied.

Nitrate and nitrite reductase activities of Mycobacterium avium
International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2018 Background: In spite of the fact that the standard test for nitrate reductase activity is negative for Mycobacterium avium, it can grow in a defined minimal medium with either nitrate (NO3) or nitrite (NO2) as sole nitrogen sources.

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
