Abstract
Under anaerobic conditions and in the presence of nitrate, the facultative anaerobe Escherichia coli synthesises an electron-transport chain comprising a primary dehydrogenase and the terminal membrane-bound nitrate reductase A (NarGHI). This review focuses on recent advances obtained on the structure and function of the three protein subunits of membrane-bound nitrate reductases. We discuss a global architecture for the Mo-bisMGD-containing subunit (NarG) and a coordination model for the four [Fe-S] centres of the electron-transfer subunit (NarH) and for the two b-type haems of the anchor subunit NarI.Entities:
