no activity with Ponceau SX. Recombinant AcpD reaction follows a ping-pong mechanism requiring 2 mol of NADH to reduce 1 mol of methyl red into 2-aminobenzoic acid and N,N'-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine. On the other hand, the gene product cannot convert holo-acyl carrier protein into the apo form under either in vitro or in vivo conditions. These data indicate that the acpD gene product is not acyl carrier protein phosphodiesterase but an azoreductase

roseoflavin mononucleotide
roseoflavin mononucleotide binds to the AzoR apoenzyme with an even higher affinity compared to that of the natural cofactor FMN. Roseoflavin mononucleotide binding does not affect the overall topology of the enzyme and also does not interfere with dimerization of AzoR. With roseoflavin mononucleotide, the holoenzyme shiws about 30% of wild-type activity
FAD
60% of the activity with FMN. FAD is stably retained in the enzyme molecule without degradation to FMN
FMN
a flavin-containing enzyme the enzyme binds 1 FMN per subunit
FMN
FMN is tightly bound to the protein moiety, and this interaction is essential for the crystallization of AzoR
FMN
-
coexistence of at least three FMN-containing components in wild-type AzoR, i.e. FMN emitting at 490 nm, 530 nm and 600 nm, respectively
FMN
residues Trp105, Asn106, Leu107, Gly150, Gly151, Tyr153, Asn121 and Tyr129 are involved in binding the FMN isoalloxazine ring. Residue Trp105 is involved in FMN stabilization and destabilization
NADH
reaction with NADH is 13fold faster than with NADPH
NADPH
reaction with NADH is 13fold faster than with NADPH
additional information
AzoR utilizes NADH but not NADPH as an electron donor and binds FMN as a flavin cofactor

deletion of the azoR gene in Escherichia coli strain MG1655 has no strong influence on the 7NCCA reduction of the cells even though the pure enzyme displays a clear nitroreductase activity with this compound
