This review details bacterial nitric oxide reductases (NORs), including cytochrome bc-type (cNOR) and quinol-dependent (qNOR) enzymes. It explores their roles and evolutionary links to cytochrome oxidases.

Area of Science:

Biochemistry
Microbiology
Enzymology

Background:

Nitric oxide reductases (NORs) are crucial enzymes in bacterial respiration.
NORs are part of the larger cytochrome oxidase enzyme family.
Two distinct types of bacterial NORs exist: cNOR and qNOR.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current knowledge on bacterial nitric oxide reductases.
To discuss the evolutionary relationships between NORs and cytochrome oxidases.

Main Methods:

Literature review of existing research on bacterial NORs.
Comparative analysis of cNOR and qNOR structures and functions.
Evolutionary analysis of NORs and cytochrome oxidases.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Characterization of two bacterial NOR types: cNOR and qNOR.
qNOR is found in pathogens and does not require a cytochrome c donor.
NORs share evolutionary links with cytochrome oxidases.

Conclusions:

Bacterial NORs represent a diverse enzyme group with significant roles in microbial metabolism.
Understanding NORs and their evolutionary history provides insights into bacterial adaptation and enzyme evolution.
