Abstract excerpt
A heterologous expression system of the blue copper-containing nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans GIFU1051 (AxgNIR) was constructed, and the purified recombinant enzyme was characterized. All the characteristic spectroscopic properties and enzyme activity of native AxgNIR were retained in the copper-reconstituted recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli, indicating the correct coordination...
