1.7.5.1 | nitrate + quinol | Escherichia coli | in order to use nitrate as an electron acceptor, Escherichia coli synthesises three distinct enzymes: a membrane-bound enzyme (nitrate reductase A, NarGHI) encoded by the narGHJI operon and a soluble periplasmic nitrate reductase (NapAB, EC 1.9.6.1) encoded by the napFDAGHBC operon. A second membrane-bound nitrate reductase (nitrate reductase Z, NarZYV) encoded by the NarZYWV operon is biochemically similar to NarGHI. Whereas NarGHI synthesis is induced by nitrate under anaerobic conditions, NarZYV is expressed at a cryptic level and may assist Escherichia coli in transition from aerobic to anaerobic respiration (physiological role of this isoenzyme at the onset of the stationary growth phase in rich media). NapAB is mainly expressed in the presence of low concentrations of nitrate under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and its expression is suppressed at high nitrate concentrations. Conversely, NarGHI is maximally expressed when nitrate concentration is elevated, and under these conditions becomes the predominant enzyme in Escherichia coli. Thus, NapAB (Ec 1.9.6.1) and NarGHI seem to function in different ranges of nitrate concentration in a complementary way to support anaerobic respiration on nitrate under anaerobic conditions and in the presence of nitrate | nitrite + quinone + H2O | - |
