Protein: Respiratory nitrate reductase 2 beta chain (EC 1.7.5.1) (P19318)
Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function: This is a second nitrate reductase enzyme which can substitute for the NRA enzyme and allows E.coli to use nitrate as an electron acceptor during anaerobic growth. The beta chain is an electron transfer unit containing four cysteine clusters involved in the formation of iron-sulfur centers. Electrons are transferred from the gamma chain to the molybdenum cofactor of the alpha subunit.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
InterPro domains:
