An experimental system has been devised for induction of nitrate reductase in suspensions of wild typeParacoccus denitrificansincubated with limited aeration in the presence of azide, nitrate or nitrite. Azide promoted maximum synthesis of enzyme, accompanied by formation of excessb-type cytochrome; the level of enzyme attained with nitrate was less andc-type cytochrome predominated in the membrane. The nitrate reductase was solubilized with deoxycholate from membranes of azide-induced cells and was identified as a major polypeptideMr=150,000 by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Mutants strains lacking nitrate reductase activity were isolated on the basis of resistance to chlorate and mutant M-1 was examined in detail. When incubated in the cell suspension system M-1 formed a membrane proteinMr=150,000 similar to that attributed to nitrate reductase in the wild type. Maximum formation of the protein by M-1 occurred without inducer and it was accompanied by synthesis of excessb-type cytochrome. The observations with wild type and M-1 indicate that nitrate reductase protein andb-type cytochrome are coregulated and that the active enzyme has a role in regulating its own synthesis.
