Inheritance of nitrite reductase and regulation of nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, and glutamine synthetase isozymes. [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1984 Banding patterns of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), and glutamine synthetase (GS) from leaves of diploid barley (Hordeum vulgare), tetraploid wheat (Triticum durum), hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), and tetraploid wild oats (Avena barbata) were compared following starch gel electrophoresis.

Endothelial alpha globin is a nitrite reductase [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Abstract Resistance 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 ...

A Crp-dependent two-component system regulates nitrate and nitrite respiration in Shewanella oneidensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We have previously illustrated the nitrate/nitrite respiratory pathway of Shewanella oneidensis, which is renowned for its remarkable versatility in respiration.

Engineering neuroglobin nitrite reductase activity based on myoglobin models
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023 Neuroglobin is a hemoprotein expressed in several nervous system cell lineages with yet unknown physiological functions. Neuroglobin presents a very similar structure to that of the related globins hemoglobin and myoglobin, but shows an hexacoordinate ...

Crosstalk between nitrite, myoglobin and reactive oxygen species to regulate vasodilation under hypoxia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The systemic response to decreasing oxygen levels is hypoxic vasodilation. While this mechanism has been known for more than a century, the underlying cellular events have remained incompletely understood.

Bringing Nitric Oxide to the Molybdenum World—A Personal Perspective
Molecules, 2023 Molybdenum-containing enzymes of the xanthine oxidase (XO) family are well known to catalyse oxygen atom transfer reactions, with the great majority of the characterised enzymes catalysing the insertion of an oxygen atom into the substrate. Although some

Recent structural insights into the function of copper nitrite reductases. [PDF]
, 2017 Copper nitrite reductases (CuNiR) carry out the first committed step of the denitrification pathway of the global nitrogen cycle, the reduction of nitrite (NO2(-)) to nitric oxide (NO).
