  • Reduction of a heme cofactor initiates N-nitroglycine degradation by NnlA

    • Authors : Stricklan, Kara A. (2023)

  • The NnlA enzyme from Variovorax sp. strain JS1663 degrades the linear nitramine N-23 nitroglycine (NNG)—a natural product produced by some bacteria—to glyoxylate and nitrite 24 (NO2–). Ammonium (NH4+) was predicted as the third product of this reaction. A source of non-25 heme FeII was shown to be required for initiation of NnlA activity. However, it was unclear if 26 this FeII was being used as a metallocofactor or a reductant. This ...
