The multiheme cytochromes fromThioalkalivibrio nitratireducens(TvNiR) andEscherichia coli(EcNrfA) reduce nitrite to ammonium. Both enzymes contain His/His-ligated hemes to deliver electrons to their active sites, where a Lys-ligated heme has a distal pocket containing a catalytic triad of His, Tyr, and Arg residues. Protein-film electrochemistry reveals significant differences in the catalytic properties of these enzymes. TvNiR, but not EcNrfA, requires reductive activation. Spectroelectrochemistry implicates reduction of His/His-ligated heme(s) as being key to this process, which restricts the rate of hydroxide binding to the ferric form of the active-site heme. TheKMdescribing nitrite reduction by EcNrfA varies with pH in a sigmoidal manner that is consistent with its modulation by (de)protonation of a residue with pKa≈ 7.6. This residue is proposed to be the catalytic His in the distal pocket. By contrast, theKMfor nitrite reduction by TvNiR decreases approximately linearly with increase of pH such that different features of the mechanism define this parameter for TvNiR. In other regards the catalytic properties of TvNiR and EcNrfA are similar, namely, the pH dependence ofVmaxand the nitrite dependence of the catalytic current–potential profiles resolved by cyclic voltammetry, such that the determinants of these properties appear to be conserved.
