hydroxylamine:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase (nitric acid-forming)
The enzyme, characterized from the anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacterium Kuenenia stuttgartiensis, is very similar to EC 1.7.2.6, hydroxylamine dehydrogenase. Both enzymes are homotrimeric enzymes in which each subunit contains seven c-type hemes and one specialized P460-type heme that is bound to a tyrosine residue in an adjacent subunit. However, this enzyme catalyses only the 3 electron oxidation of hydroxylamine, forming nitric oxide, and is not capable of performing further oxidation to form nitrite.
