LITERATURE
physiological function
enzyme HAO catalyzes the conversion of hydroxylamine to nitrite in nitrifying bacteria, that is key reaction in the nitrogen cycle. The enzyme HAO, protein NE1300, may play a structural role in the ternary complex with cytochrome c554, the physiological electron acceptor of HAO. Two of HAO's product electrons are subsequently transferred back to ammonia monooxygenase as substrate electrons, and the other two electrons contribute to the electrochemical gradient through a terminal oxidase in the cytoplasmic membrane
