Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of cytochrome c nitrite reductase

TL;DR: By comparing the haem arrangement of this nitrite reductase with that of other multihaem cytochromes, this work has been able to identify a family of proteins in which the orientation of haem groups is conserved whereas structure and function are not.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytochrome c nitrite reductase from Wolinella succinogenes. Structure at 1.6 A resolution, inhibitor binding, and heme-packing motifs.

TL;DR: Based on sequence comparison and secondary structure prediction, it is demonstrated that cytochromec nitrite reductases constitute a protein family of high structural similarity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binding and reduction of sulfite by cytochrome c nitrite reductase.

TL;DR: The active site variant Y218F of ccNiR that exhibited an almost complete loss of nitrite reductase activity, while sulfite reduction remained unaffected is characterized, providing a first direct insight into the role of the first sphere of protein ligands at the active site in cc NiR catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial cytochrome c nitrite reductase: new structural and functional aspects

TL;DR: A paramagnetic Fe(II)-NO, S = 1/2 adduct was identified by rapid freeze EPR spectroscopy under turnover conditions with nitrite and exhibited a remarkably high sulfite reductase activity, with hydrogen sulfide as the product.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the membrane-bound cytochrome c nitrite reductase complex (NrfHA) from Wolinella succinogenes

TL;DR: Crystals of the complex between the enzyme cytochrome c nitrite reductase (NrfA) and the membrane-bound quinol oxidase and electron carrier NrfH were grown by vapour diffusion using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant.
