    Notes: Abstract The structural gene, nirK, for the respiratory Cu-containing nitrite reductase from denitrifying Pseudomonas aureofaciens was isolated and sequenced. It encodes a polypeptide of 363 amino acids including a signal peptide of 24 amino acids for protein export. The sequence showed 63.8% positional identity with the amino acid sequence of “Achromobacter cycloclastes” nitrite reductase. Ligands for the blue, type I Cu-binding site and for a putative type-II site were identified. The nirK gene was transferred to the mutant MK202 of P. stutzeri which lacks cytochrome cd 1 nitrite reductase due to a transposon Tn5 insertion in its structural gene, nirS. The heterologous enzyme was active in vitro and in vivo in this background and restored the mutationally interrupted denitrification pathway. Transfer of nirK to Escherichia coli resulted in an active nitrite reductase in vitro. Expression of the nirS gene from P. stutzeri in P. aureofaciens and E. coli led to nonfunctional gene products. Nitrite reductase activity of cell extract from either bacterium could be reconstituted by addition of heme d 1, indicating that both heterologous hosts synthesized a cytochrome cd 1 without the d 1-group.

    Notes: Abstract Cytochrome cd 1-nitrite reductase and nitrous oxide reductase of Thiobacillus denitrificans were purified and characterized by biochemical and immunochemical methods. In contrast to the generally soluble nature of the denitrification enzymes, these two enzymes were isolated from the membrane fraction of T. denitrificans and remained active after solubilization with Triton X-100. The properties of the membrane-derived enzymes were similar to those of their soluble counterparts from the same organism. Nitrous oxide reductase activity was inhibited by acetylene. Nitrite reductase and nitrous oxide reductase cross-reacted with antisera raised against the soluble enzymes from Pseudomonas stutzeri. The nirS, norBC, and nosZ genes encoding the cytochrome cd 1-nitrite reductase, nitric oxide reductase, and nitrous oxide reductase, respectively, from P. stutzeri hybridized with genomic DNA from T. denitrificans. Cross-reactivity and similar N-terminal amino acid and gene sequences suggest that the primary structures of the Thiobacillus enzymes are homologous to the soluble proteins from P. stutzeri.
