Purification and characterization of soybean nodule nitrite reductase

A nodule cytosol nitrite reductase was isolated from soybean [ Glyine max (L.) Mer. cv. Tracy] grown in the presence of nitrate. Enzyme activity increased when increased amounts of nitrate were supplied to the plant. A purification procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, DEAE Sephadex and Blue Sepharose chromatography resulted in an activity capable of forming 6.7 μmol ammonia (mg protein)⁻¹ min⁻¹. This represented a 235-fold increase in specific activity. The molecular weight, estimated by gel filtration, was 55 000. The pH optimum for activity was 7.1. Ammonia formed stoichiometrically as nitrice was consumed. From Lineweaver-Burk plots, K_m values of 0.5m M for nitrite and 0.2m M for methyl viologen were calculated. Spectral data suggest the association of a heme chromophore with the enzyme.     

Purification and Characterization of Assimilatory Nitrate Reductase from the Cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum

Assimilatory nitrate reductase (NR) was solubilized by acetonetreatment from Plectonema boryanum and was purified 7,700-foldby heat treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatographyon DEAE-Sephacel and Sephadex G-150. Purified NR had a specificactivity of 85 µmol NO₂^– formed min^–1 mg^–1protein. The enzyme retained both ferredoxin (Fd)- and methylviologen (MV)-linked NR activities throughout the purificationprocedure. Molecular weight was 80,000. The pH optimum was 10.5in the MV-assay and 8.5 when assayed with enzymatically reducedFd as the electron donor. Apparent Km values for nitrate andMV were 700 µM and 2,500µM in the MVassay and 55µM and 75 µM for nitrate and Fd in the Fd-assay.The enzyme was inhibited by thiol reagents and metal-chelatingreagents.

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a soluble nitrate reductase from the sulfate reducing organism Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774

Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774 is a sulfate reducer that can adapt to nitrate respiration, inducing the enzymes required to utilize this alternative metabolic pathway. Nitrite reductase from this organism has been previously isolated and characterized, but no information was available on the enzyme involved in the reduction of nitrate. This is the first report of purification to homogeneity of a nitrate reductase from a sulfate reducing organism, thus completing the enzymatic system required to convert nitrate (through nitrite) to ammonia. D. desulfuricans nitrate reductase is a monomeric (circa 70 kDa) periplasmic enzyme with a specific activity of 5.4 K(m) for nitrate was estimated to be 20 microM. EPR signals due to one [4Fe-4S] cluster and Mo(V) were identified in dithionite reduced samples and in the presence of nitrate.     

Molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide is the organic moiety of the molybdenum cofactor in respiratory nitrate reductase from Pseudomonas stutzeri

Abstract Respiratory nitrate reductase from the denitrifying bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri is an iron-sulfur enzyme containing the molybdenum cofactor. Hydrolysis of native nitrate reductase with aqueous sulfuric acid revealed 0.92 mol of 5'-GMP per mol of enzyme. The pterin present in the molybdenum cofactor was liberated from the protein and reacted with iodoacetamide. The resulting di(carboxamidomethyl) (cam) derivative was purified on a C₁₈-cartridge and analyzed for its structural elements. Treatment of the cam derivative with nucleotide pyrophosphatase and subsequent HPLC analysis revealed the formation of di(cam)molybdopterin and 5'-GMP at a 1:1 molar ratio and with a yield of 79% with respect to the molybdenum content of the enzyme. Treatment of the cam derivative with nucleotide pyrophosphatase and alkaline phosphatase led to the liberation of 0.51 mol dephosphodi(cam)molybdopterin and of 0.59 mol guanosine per mol of enzyme, which is equal to a molar ratio of 1:2.2. The results indicate, that the organic moiety of the molybdenum cofactor of nitrate reductase from P. stutzeri is molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide of which one mol is contained per mol of nitrate reductase.     

Studies on nitrate reductase of Clostridium perfringens. IV. Identification of metals, molybdenum cofactor, and iron-sulfur cluster

Nitrate reductase of Clostridium perfringens was purified by an improved method using immuno-affinity chromatography. The purified preparation contained Mo, Fe, and acid-labile sulfide; the Mo content was 1 mol per mol and the Fe 3.7 mol per mol of the enzyme. The inactive enzyme obtained from cells grown in the presence of tungstate did not hold Mo but contained 1 mol of W. The content of Fe was not increased. The presence of molybdenum cofactor in the nitrate reductase was indicated by the formation of molybdopterin form A in the oxidation of the enzyme by iodine and by the complementation of NADPH-nitrate reductase with the heart-treated enzyme in the extract of Neurospora crassa nit-1. The Clostridium nitrate reductase had an absorption maximum at 279 nm and shoulders at 320, 380, 430, and 520 nm. This enzyme seems to contain an iron sulfur cluster since the reduced enzyme showed decreased absorption in visible region. The CD spectrum of the enzyme has a positive peak at 425 nm and negative ones at 310, 360, and 595 nm. It was compared with the CD spectrum of ferredoxin (2Fe-2S or 4Fe-4S cluster) and the nitrate reductase of Plectonema boryanum.     

NADH-dependent nitrate reductase from two-row barley roots: Purification, characteristics and comparison with leaf enzyme

NADH-nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) was purified 800-fold from roots of two-row barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Daisen-gold) by a combination of Blue Sepharose and zinc-chelate affinity chromatographies followed by gel filtration on TSK-gel (G3000SW). The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 6.2 μmol nitrite produced (mg protein)⁻¹ min⁻¹ at 30°C.
Besides the reduction of nitrate by NADH, the root enzyme, like leaf nitrate reductase, also catalyzed the partial activities NADH-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-ferricyanide reductase, reduced methyl viologen nitrate reductase and FMNH₂-nitrate reductase. Its molecular weight was estimated to be about 200 kDa, which is somewhat smaller than that for the leaf enzyme. A comparison of root and leaf nitrate reductases shows physiologically similar or identical properties with respect to pH optimum, requirements of electron donor, acceptor, and FAD, apparent K_m for nitrate, NADH and FAD, pH tolerance, thermal stability and response to inorganic orthophosphate. Phosphate activated root nitrate reductase at high concentration of nitrate, but was inhibitory at low concentrations, resulting in increases in apparent K_m for nitrate as well as V_max whereas it did not alter the K_m for NADH.     

Quaternary structure and composition of squash NADH:nitrate reductase

NADH:nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) was isolated from squash cotyledons (Cucurbita maxima L.) by a combination of Blue Sepharose and zinc-chelate affinity chromatographies followed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel A-1.5m. These preparations gave a single protein staining band (Mr = 115,000) on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, indicating that the enzyme is homogeneous. The native Mr of nitrate reductase was found to be 230,000, with a minor form of Mr = 420,000 also occurring. These results indicate that the native nitrate reductase is a homodimer of Mr = 115,000 subunits. Acidic amino acids predominate over basic amino acids, as shown both by the amino acid composition of the enzyme and an isoelectric point for nitrate reductase of 5.7. The homogeneous nitrate reductase had a UV/visible spectrum typical of a b-type cytochrome. The enzyme was found to contain one each of flavin (as FAD), heme iron, molybdenum, and Mo-pterin/Mr = 115,000 subunit. A model is proposed for squash nitrate reductase in which two Mr = 115,000 subunits are joined to made the native enzyme. Each subunit contains 1 eq of FAD, cytochrome b, and molybdenum/Mo-pterin.     

The distribution and characteristics of nitrate reductase and glutamate dehydrogenase in the maize seedling

In a study on 3-day maize (Zea mays) seedlings, grown on nitrate, requirements were established for the maximum extraction and optimum stabilization of nitrate reductase in vitro. With the primary root, 5 mm cysteine were required in the extraction medium, but for the scutellum, which has a high level of endogenous thiol, the use of additional thiol resulted in a reduced yield of a more labile enzyme. Activity of the root and scutella nitrate reductase was obtained with either NADH or NADPH, but that of the root enzyme with NADPH was only demonstrated in the absence of phosphate.Before leaf expansion, the nitrate reductase in the maize seedling was mainly in the scutellum. The enzyme present in the primary root was predominantly in the apical region (0-2 mm). In contrast, glutamate dehydrogenase was concentrated in the mature basal region of the root (30-60 mm). A high level of nitrate (approximately 100 mm) was required to saturate the induction of nitrate reductase in the root tip, mature root, and scutellum. The concentration of nitrate required to give half the maximum level of enzyme induced was the same for each region (29 mm).After leaf expansion, more than 90% of the nitrate reductase was in the shoot, mainly in the leaf blade, and a marked decrease occurred in the level of the enzyme in the scutellum. A large proportion of the glutamate dehydrogenase was still found in the root.     

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-nitrate reductase of Chlorella vulgaris. Purification, prosthetic groups, and molecular properties.

NADH:nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) from Chlorella vulgaris has been purified 640-fold with an over-all yield of 26% by a combination of protamine sulfate fractionation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel chromatography, density gradient centrifugation, and DEAE-chromatography. The purified enzyme is stable for more than 2 months when stored at minus 20 degrees in phosphate buffer (pH 6.9) containing 40% (v/v) glycerol. After the initial steps of the purification, a constant ratio of NADH:nitrate reductase activity to NADH:cytochrome c reductase and reduced methyl viologen:nitrate reductase activities was observed. One band of protein was detected after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme. This band also gave a positive stain for heme, NADH dehydrogenase, and reduced methyl viologen:nitrate reductase. One band, corresponding to a molecular weight of 100, 000, was detected after sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme contains FAD, heme, and molybdenum in a 1:1:0.8 ratio. One "cyanide binding site" per molybdenum was found. No non-heme-iron or labile sulfide was detected. From a dry weight determination of the purified enzyme, a minimal molecular weight of 152, 000 per molecule of heme or FAD was calculated. An s20, w of 9.7 S for nitrate reductase was found by the use of sucrose density gradient centrifugation and a Stokes radius of 89 A was estimated by gel filtration techniques. From these values, and the assumption that the partial specific volume is 0.725 cc/g, a molecular weight of 356, 000 was estimated for the native enzyme. These data suggest that the native enzyme contains a minimum of 2 molecules each of FAD, heme, and molybdenum and is composed of at least three subunits.
