Research Abstract |
This study was performed to construct cell-free anaerobic reaction system by reference to the previously described model for mechanism of anammox. The following important findings for construction of the system were obtained. (1) Hydrazine was synthesized from NO and NH4+ catalyzed by hydrazine synthase with a heterodimer heme protein, NaxLS. (2) An intermediate, NO, was synthesized by Cu-type nitrite reductase (Cu-Nir) in strain KSU-1 although cytochrome cd1 Nir has only been known in other anammox bacteria. (3) A multiheme protein, hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO), catalyzed inter-conversion of NO and hydroxylamine.
