Name |
nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H];
nitrite reductase (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate));
assimilatory nitrite reductase (ambiguous);
nitrite reductase [NAD(P)H2];
NAD(P)H2:nitrite oxidoreductase;
nit-6 (gene name)
|
Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
|
Sysname |
ammonia:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
NH3 + 3 NAD(P)+ + 2 H2O = nitrite + 3 NAD(P)H + 5 H+ [RN: R00787 R00789]

Comment |
An iron-sulfur flavoprotein (FAD) containing siroheme. The enzymes from the fungi Neurospora crassa [1], Emericella nidulans [2] and Candida nitratophila [4] can use either NADPH or NADH as electron donor. cf. EC 1.7.1.15, nitrite reductase (NADH).
