additional information | construction of a truncated soluble domain of NorC, NorC* (DELTAMet1-Val37), by deletion of the 84 5'-terminal nucleotides of gene norC. The mutant NorC exhibits spectra typical of a low-spin heme c. In addition, NorC* functions as the acceptor of an electron from a cytochrome c isolated from the periplasm of Halomonas halodenitrificans and small reducing reagents. The redox potential of NorC* shifted ca. 40mV in the negative direction from that of wild-type NorC. Recombinant NOR exhibits the same spectroscopic properties and reactivity to NO and O2 as wil-type NOR, although its enzymatic activity toward NO is considerably decreased | Halomonas halodenitrificans |
