EC 1.7.2.7 Details
EC number
1.7.2.7
Accepted name
hydrazine synthase
Reaction
hydrazine + H2O + 3 ferricytochrome c = nitric oxide + ammonium + 3 ferrocytochrome c
Other name(s)
HZS
Systematic name
hydrazine:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from anaerobic ammonia oxidizers (anammox bacteria), is one of only a few enzymes that are known to form an N-N bond (other examples include EC 1.7.1.14, nitric oxide reductase [NAD(P)+, nitrous oxide-forming] and EC 4.8.1.1, L-piperazate synthase). The enzyme from the bacterium Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis is a dimer of heterotrimers and contains multiple c-type cytochromes.
