Halomonas halodenitrificansnitric oxide reductase (NOR) is the membrane-bound heterodimer complex of NorC, which contains a low-spin hemeccenter, and NorB, which contains a low-spin hemebcenter, a high-spin hemeb3center, and a non-heme FeBcenter. The soluble domain of NorC, NorC* (ΔMet1–Val37) was heterologously expressed inEscherichia coliusing expression plasmids harboring the truncatednorCgene deleted of its 84 5′-terminal nucleotides. Analogous scission of the N-terminal helix as the membrane anchor took place when the wholenorCgene was used. NorC* exhibited spectra typical of a low-spin hemec. In addition, NorC* functioned as the acceptor of an electron from a cytochromecisolated from the periplasm ofH. halodenitrificansand small reducing reagents. The redox potential of NorC* shifted ca. 40 mV in the negative direction from that of NorC. Unlike NorC, recombinant NorB was not heterologously expressed. However, recombinant NOR (rNOR) could be expressed inE. coliby using a plasmid harboring all genes in thenoroperon,norCBQDX, from which the three hairpin loops (mRNA) were deleted, and by using theccmgenes for the maturation of C-type heme. rNOR exhibited the same spectroscopic properties and reactivity to NO and O2as NOR, although its enzymatic activity toward NO was considerably decreased. These results on the expression of rNOR and NorC* will allow us to develop more profound studies on the properties of the four Fe centers and the reaction mechanism of NOR from this halophilic denitrifying bacterium.
