Nitrate reduction in the periplasm of gram-negative bacteria
Abstract
In contrast to the bacterial assimilatory and membrane-associated, respiratory nitrate reductases that have been studied for many years, it is only recently that periplasmic nitrate reductases have attracted growing interest. Recent research has shown that these soluble proteins are widely distributed, but vary greatly between species. All of those so far studied include four essential components: the periplasmic molybdoprotein, NapA, which is associated with a small, di-haem cytochrome, NapB; a putative quinol oxidase, NapC; and a possible pathway-specific chaperone, NapD. At least five other components have been found in different species. Other variations between species include the location of the nap genes on chromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA, and the environmental factors that regulate their expression. Despite the relatively small number of bacteria so far screened, striking correlations are beginning to emerge between the organization of the nap genes, the physiology of the host, the conditions under which the nap genes are expressed, and even the fate of nitrite, the product of Nap activity. Evidence is emerging that Nap fulfills a novel role in nitrate scavenging by some pathogenic bacteria.

“Although the gradient may be less than that generated by the cytoplasmic-facing Nar complex, the loss of potential energy may be compensated by the higher affinity for nitrate typically found in periplasmic nitrate reductases.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
