Structure and function of a periplasmic nitrate reductase in Alcaligenes eutrophus H16.
Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 shows three distinct nitrate reductase activities (U. Warnecke-Eberz and B. Friedrich, Arch. Microbiol. 159:405-409, 1993). The periplasmic enzyme, designated NAP (nitrate reductase, periplasmic), has been isolated. The 80-fold-purified heterodimeric enzyme catalyzed nitrate reduction with reduced viologen dyes as electron donors. The nap genes were identified in a lib...
متن کاملThe Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 hoxX gene participates in hydrogenase regulation.
Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a 1,791-bp open reading frame in the hox gene cluster of the gram-negative chemolithotroph Alcaligenes eutrophus H16. In order to investigate the biological role of this open reading frame, we generated an in-frame deletion allele via a gene replacement strategy. The resulting mutant grew significantly more slowly than the wild type under lithoautotrophic c...
متن کاملIdentification and molecular characterization of the Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 aco operon genes involved in acetoin catabolism.
Acetoin:dichlorophenolindophenol oxidoreductase (Ao:DCPIP OR) and the fast-migrating protein (FMP) were purified to homogeneity from crude extracts of acetoin-grown cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus. Ao:DCPIP OR consisted of alpha and beta subunits (Mrs, 35,500 and 36,000, respectively), and a tetrameric alpha 2 beta 2 structure was most likely for the native protein. The molecular weight of FMP s...
متن کاملAnalysis of nitrate reductase mRNA expression and nitrate reductase activity in response to nitrogen supply
Nitrate is one of the major sources of nitrogen for the growth of plants. It is taken up by plant roots and transported to the leaves where it is reduced to nitrite in the. The main objective of this research was to investigate stimulatory effects of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonia and urea on the production/generation of the nitrate reductase mRNA in Triticum aestivum plants. The pl...
متن کاملCloning and expression of the levanase gene in Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 enables the strain to hydrolyze sucrose
Genetic engineering methods were used to enhance the substrate spectrum of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16, a poly-fl-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) producer. Using parts of the vector pMMB33 and a 2.5 kb DNA fragment of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome a plasmid was constructed bearing the gene for levanase, an enzyme able to hydrolyze various saccharides. After transfer of the levanase gene by triparent...
