NITRATE REDUCTASE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Nitrate reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana has been used in a study to assess the amino acid sequence of chicken hepatic sulfite oxidase.

Agricultural Uses

metalloflavoprotein, which catalyzes the reduction of nitrate in plants, essential for the synthesis of plant proteins.
there is hardly any oxygen. Some organisms, belonging to genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Paracoccus, take oxygen from the nitrate and give out nitrogen and nitrous oxide. Denitrification is strongly influenced by several soil-related and environment-related factors, such as the amount and nature of the organic matter and moisture content.
The factors necessary for nitrate reduction are: an anaerobic environment, the presence of nitrates and soluble carbons, and denitrifying organisms. Several factors control nitrate reduction directly and indirectly.
Soil denitrification is controlled by three primary or proximal factors, namely, oxygen, nitrate and carbon, which in turn are affected by several physical and biological factors (distal factors). Thus, it is necessary to focus on distal rather than proximal factors as controllers of denitrification. Furthermore, oxygen, nitrate, carbon and soil pH also influence the reduction of nitrate. Denitrification is maximum when the pH is between 6 and 8, and the temperature between 25 and 60°C.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nitrate reductase activity is induced in Arabidopsis thaliana plants by sumoylation via the E3 ligase activity of AtSIZ1.
