Identifier

NOSZ

Protein name

RecName: Full=Nitrous-oxide reductase; EC=1.7.99.6; AltName: Full=N(2)OR; AltName: Full=N2O reductase; Flags: Precursor;

Gene name

nosZ

FUNCTION: Nitrous-oxide reductase is part of a bacterial respiratory system which is activated under anaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate or nitrous oxide (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: N(2) + H(2)O + acceptor = N(2)O + reduced acceptor.

COFACTOR: Binds 2 calcium ions per subunit (By similarity).

COFACTOR: Binds 6 copper ions per subunit. Each subunit contains 2 copper centers; Cu(A) (binuclear) and Cu(Z) (tetranuclear). Cu(Z) is thought to be the site of nitrous oxide reduction (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Periplasm (By similarity).

PTM: Predicted to be exported by the Tat system. The position of the signal peptide cleavage has not been experimentally proven.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nosZ family.

SIMILARITY: In the C-terminal section; belongs to the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 family.
