EC 1.7.2.9 Details
EC number
1.7.2.9
Accepted name
hydroxylamine oxidase
Reaction
hydroxylamine + 3 ferricytochrome c = nitric oxide + 3 ferrocytochrome c + 3 H+
Other name(s)
HOX
Systematic name
hydroxylamine:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase (nitric acid-forming)
CAS registry number
9075-43-8
Comment
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.
