Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.9Å Ligands: 3PH, 6MO, AGA, FME, HEM, MD1 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function NARI_ECOLI The nitrate reductase enzyme complex allows E.coli to use nitrate as an electron acceptor during anaerobic growth. The gamma chain is a membrane-embedded heme-iron unit resembling cytochrome b, which transfers electrons from quinones to the beta subunit.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structure of Escherichia coli nitrate reductase A (NarGHI) in complex with pentachlorophenol has been determined to 2.0 A of resolution. We have shown that pentachlorophenol is a potent inhibitor of quinol:nitrate oxidoreductase activity and that it also perturbs the EPR spectrum of one of the hemes located in the membrane anchoring subunit (NarI). This new structural information together with site-directed mutagenesis data, biochemical analyses, and molecular modeling provide the first molecular characterization of a quinol binding and oxidation site (Q-site) in NarGHI. A possible proton conduction pathway linked to electron transfer reactions has also been defined, providing fundamental atomic details of ubiquinol oxidation by NarGHI at the bacterial membrane.
