  ABSTRACT  
 
Cytochrome c nitrite reductase catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonia. This second part of the respiratory pathway of nitrate ammonification is a key step in the biological nitrogen cycle. The x-ray structure of the enzyme from the epsilon-proteobacterium Wolinella succinogenes has been solved to a resolution of 1.6 A. It is a pentaheme c-type cytochrome whose heme groups are packed in characteristic motifs that also occur in other multiheme cytochromes. Structures of W. succinogenes nitrite reductase have been obtained with water bound to the active site heme iron as well as complexes with two inhibitors, sulfate and azide, whose binding modes and inhibitory functions differ significantly. Cytochrome c nitrite reductase is part of a highly optimized respiratory system found in a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria. It reduces both anionic and neutral substrates at the distal side of a lysine-coordinated high-spin heme group, which is accessible through two different channels, allowing for a guided flow of reaction educt and product. Based on sequence comparison and secondary structure prediction, we have demonstrated that cytochrome c nitrite reductases constitute a protein family of high structural similarity.

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Overall structure of nitrite reductase. A, front view of the dimer of W. succinogenes cytochrome c nitrite reductase. One monomer forms the asymmetric unit of the crystals. Dimer formation is mediated by the central helical segments. B, the arrangement of heme groups in the same orientation as in A. In the left monomer, hemes are numbered according to their attachment to the protein chain. In the right monomer, distances are given between the iron atoms. Images were produced with Molscript (32) and Raster3D (33).
Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Heme-packing motifs. Superposition of the heme groups of nitrite reductase (gray) and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (black) numbered according to their attachment to the protein chain. With the exception of the active site heme (1 in NiR, 4 in hydroxylamine oxidoreductase), all heme groups form di-heme elbow motifs ( circles), which are connected via a parallel stacking arrangement similar to the one observed in split-Soret cytochrome c (ovals). Images were produced using Molscript (32).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
