ENZYME entry: EC 1.7.3.6

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.7.3.6
Accepted Name
hydroxylamine oxidase (cytochrome)
Alternative Name(s)
HAO
hydroxylamine oxidase
hydroxylamine oxidoreductase
Reaction catalysed
hydroxylamine + O2 = nitrite + H2O + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from the heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans contains three to five non-heme, non-iron-sulfur iron atoms and interacts with cytochrome c556 and pseudoazurin.
  • Under anaerobic conditions in vitro only nitrous oxide is formed.
  • Presumably nitroxyl is released and combines with a second nitroxyl to give nitrous oxide and water.
  • When oxygen is present, nitrite is formed.
  • Formerly EC 1.7.3.4.
