Revised Manuscript Received July 11, 1995® abstract: The structures at 2.0 and 2.25 A resolution of native and recombinant nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis show that they are identical to each other and very similar to nitrite reductase from Achromobacter cycloclastes. The crystallographic structure of a mutant, M150E, which unlike the wild-type protein cannot be reduced by pseudoazurin, shows that the glutamate replacement for methionine binds to a metal at thetype I Cu site via only one oxygen. Anomalous scattering data collected at wavelengths of 1.040 and 1.377 A reveal that the metal at the type I site is a Zn. No significant differences from the native structure other than local perturbations at thetype I site are seen. A local pseudo 2-fold axis relates the two domains of different monomers which form the active site. The two residues, Asp98 and His255, believed to be involved in catalysis are related by this 2-fold. An unusual-I---h charge interaction between Lys269, Glu279, and HislOO helps to orient the active site Cu ligand, HislOO. A number of negatively charged surface residuescreate an electrostatic field whose shape suggests that it may serve to direct incoming negatively charged nitrite as well as to dock the electron donor partner, pseudoazurin.Nitrite reductase from the denitrifying bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis strain S-6 is a copper-containing enzyme that converts nitrite to nitric oxide (NCh-to NO) under anaerobic conditions (Kakutani et al., 1981b). The in vivo electron donor has been shown to be a small blue copper protein, pseudoazurin (Kakutani et al., 1981a). When reduced by pseudoazurin, the enzyme produces H2O2 in the presence of O2 and is inactivated. The enzyme is green, strongly inhibited by copperchelators, and contains both type I and
