General description

Nitrate reductase (NAD[P]H) is expressed in variety of organisms including bacteria, fungi, algae, and higher plants which have capacity to use nitrate as their sole source of nitrogen.Experimental studies show that nitrate reductase (NAD[P]H) is 180,000Daltons.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nitrate Reductase (NAD[P]H) catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. In addition, it also catalyzes the reduction of NADPH-cytochrome c, FADH2-nitrate. Nitrate reductase also has reduced methyl viologen-nitrate reductase activities.

Caution

light and moisture sensitive

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of nitrate per min in the presence of β-NADPH at pH 7.5 at 25 °C.

In vitro complementation of the soluble assimilatory NAD(P)H-nitrate reductase (NAD(P)H:nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.2) was attained by mixing cell-free preparations of Chlamydomonas reinhardii mutant 104, uniquely possessing nitrate-inducible NAD(P)H-cytochrome c reductase, and mutant 305 which possesses solely the nitrate-inducible FMNH2- and

Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) can be efficiently mineralized with anaerobic domestic sludge, but the initial enzymatic processes involved in its transformation are unknown. To test the hypothesis that the initial reaction involves reduction of nitro group(s), we designed experiments to test the

NADPH-nitrate reductase [NADPH : nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.3] was purified 500-fold from Aspergillus nidulans with an overall yield of about 20%. The purified enzyme catalyzed NADPH-nitrate, NADPH-cytochrome c, FADH2-nitrate and reduced methyl viologen-nitrate reductase activities. Its molecular weight was estimated
