Nitrite was able to strongly inhibit C(2)H(2) reduction by nitrogenase from soybean bacteroids, whereas H(2) evolution was unaffected under the same conditions. NO inhibited both C(2)H(2) reduction and H(2) evolution; during C(2)H(2) reduction, sensitivity of nitrogenase to NO was higher than to NO(2), and the K(i) values were, respectively, 0.056 and 0.52 mM. Production of NO resulting from a reduction of NO(2) by dithionite in nitrogenase incubations was observed. However, the characteristics of inhibitions and the low level of NO generated by nitrite reduction ruled out the suggestion concerning a direct role of NO to explain the inhibitory effect of NO(2) on nitrogenase.
亚硝酸盐能够强烈抑制大豆类菌体固氮酶催化的乙炔还原,而相同条件下氢气的释放则不受影响。一氧化氮(NO)同时抑制乙炔还原和氢气的释放;在乙炔还原过程中,固氮酶对 NO 的敏感性高于对亚硝酸盐(NO2),其 Ki 值分别为 0.056 和 0.52mM。在固氮酶孵育过程中,观察到二硫代苏糖醇将亚硝酸盐还原生成一氧化氮(NO)。然而,亚硝酸盐还原产生的一氧化氮抑制作用的特点和低水平生成,排除了关于一氧化氮(NO)直接发挥作用来解释亚硝酸盐(NO2)对固氮酶抑制的假说。
