• Exploring the denitrification proteome of paracoccus denitrificans PD1222 

      Olaya-Abril, Alfonso; Hidalgo-Carrillo, J.; Luque-Almagro, Víctor Manuel; Fuentes-Almagro, Carlos; Urbano, Francisco José; Moreno-Vivián, Conrado; Richardson, David J.; Roldán, María Dolores (Frontiers, 2018)
      Denitrification is a respiratory process that produces nitrous oxide as an intermediate, which may escape to the atmosphere before its reduction to dinitrogen through the nitrous oxide reductase NosZ. In this work, the ...
    • From the Eukaryotic Molybdenum Cofactor Biosynthesis to the Moonlighting Enzyme mARC 

      Tejada Jiménez, M.; Chamizo-Ampudia, Alejandro; Calatrava, Victoria; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio; Llamas Azúa, Ángel (MDPI, 2018)
      All eukaryotic molybdenum (Mo) enzymes contain in their active site a Mo Cofactor (Moco), which is formed by a tricyclic pyranopterin with a dithiolene chelating the Mo atom. Here, the eukaryotic Moco biosynthetic pathway ...
    • Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Nitrite Are Highly Dependent on Nitrate Reductase in the Microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 

      Bellido Pedraza, Carmen Mª; Calatrava, Victoria; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Fernández, Emilio; Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora (MDPI, 2022)
      Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting compound whose synthesis and release have traditionally been ascribed to bacteria and fungi. Although plants and microalgae have been proposed as N2O ...
    • Role of Nitrate Reductase in NO Production in Photosynthetic Eukaryotes 

      Tejada Jiménez, M.; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio (MDPI, 2019)
      Nitric oxide is a gaseous secondary messenger that is critical for proper cell signaling and plant survival when exposed to stress. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in plants, under standard phototrophic oxygenic conditions, ...
