COMMENTARY hide
LITERATURE
W434Y
H264N
mutant is unable to catalyze nitrite reduction but able to reduce hydroxylamine. The mutant simultaneously binds nitrite and electrons at the catalytic heme
Q263E
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation leads to introduction of a negative charge into the vicinity of the active site heme, and the mutant shows reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme. The high spin state of the active site to be preserved, indicating that a water/hydroxide molecule is still coordinated to the heme in the resting state of the enzyme
K100H
-
mutagenesis of the hem-binding motif CWSCK results in almost complete loss of formate-dependent nitrite reduction
K100I
-
mutagenesis of the hem-binding motif CWSCK results in almost complete loss of formate-dependent nitrite reduction
K100L
-
mutagenesis of the hem-binding motif CWSCK results in almost complete loss of formate-dependent nitrite reduction
H268M
one of the EPR-silent heme's histidine axial ligands is replaced with a methionine
K119H
site-directed mutagensis, mutation of the essential lysine residue of the non-canonical HBM (CX2CK), inactive mutant. The mutant NrfA protein displays a similar pattern of rapid degradation like the wild-type without maturation
