CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Hydroxylamine Oxidoreductase; Chain A, domain 2
Functional Family Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase

Enzyme Information

1.7.2.6
Hydroxylamine dehydrogenase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q50925
(1) Hydroxylamine + H(2)O + 4 ferricytochrome c = nitrite + 4 ferrocytochrome c + 5 H(+). (2) Hydroxylamine + 3 ferricytochrome c = nitric oxide + 3 ferrocytochrome c + 3 H(+).
-!- The enzymes from the nitrifying bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea and the methylotrophic bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus are hemoproteins with seven c-type hemes and one specialized P460-type heme per subunit. -!- The enzyme converts hydroxylamine to nitrite via an enzyme-bound nitroxyl intermediate. -!- While nitrite is the main product, the enzyme from Nitrosomonas europaea can produce nitric oxide as well. -!- Formerly EC 1.7.3.4.
