Abstract excerpt
The seven nap genes at minute 47 on the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome encode a functional nitrate reductase located in the periplasm. The molybdoprotein, NapA, is known to be essential for nitrate reduction. We now demonstrate that the two c-type cytochromes, the periplasmic NapB and the membrane-associated NapC, as well as a fourth polypeptide, NapD, are also essential for nitrate reduction in the periplasm...
