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 ...

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

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.

Isoform-Specific NO Synthesis by Arabidopsis thaliana Nitrate Reductase
Plants, 2019 Nitrate reductase (NR) is important for higher land plants, as it catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the nitrate assimilation pathway, the two-electron reduction of nitrate to nitrite.

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2020 Heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) is essential in diverse nitrogen-transforming processes. How HNAD is modulated by quorum sensing (QS) systems is still ambiguous.

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 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report a new thiolate‐reactive α,α‐gem‐dibromo lactam warhead that activates transcription factor Nrf2 and demonstrates anti‐inflammatory activities, which have implications in cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. RNA‐seq illuminated detailed transcriptional profiles, and chemical reactions with cysteine‐containing compounds ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nitrosyl heme emerges as an extracellular nitrodilator that dilates arteries without crossing the cell membrane. Instead, heme‐NO mobilizes NO moieties from a preformed intracellular NO store within vascular smooth muscle, providing both functional and chemical evidence for the NANOS model, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanism of arterial ...

Molecular underpinnings of nitrite effect on CymA-dependent respiration in Shewanella oneidensis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Shewanella exhibit a remarkable versatility of respiration, with a diverse array of electron acceptors (EAs). In environments where these bacteria thrive, multiple EAs are usually present.

Decreased nitrite reductase activity of deoxyhemoglobin correlates with platelet activation in hemoglobin E/ß-thalassemia subjects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Nitric oxide (NO) can be generated from nitrite by reductase activity of deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxyHb) apparently to facilitate tissue perfusion under hypoxic condition.
