EC number

1.7.2.4

Accepted name

nitrous-oxide reductase

Reaction

nitrogen + H₂O + 2 ferricytochrome c = nitrous oxide + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H⁺

Other name(s)

nitrous oxide reductase, N₂O reductase, nitrogen:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (N₂O-forming)

Systematic name

nitrogen:cytochrome c oxidoreductase (N₂O-forming)

CAS registry number

55576-44-8

Comment

The reaction is observed only in the direction of nitrous oxide reduction. Contains the mixed-valent dinuclear CuA species at the electron entry site of the enzyme, and the tetranuclear Cu-Z centre in the active site. In Paracoccus pantotrophus, the electron donor is cytochrome c₅₅₂.
