A copper-containing protein that inhibits nitrite reductase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A non-blue copper-containing glycoprotein was isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The protein has a molecular mass of 10 kDa and contains 1 atom of EPR-detectable type II copper. The protein inhibits oxidation of both azurin and cytochrome c-551 catalyzed by nitrite reductase from Ps. aeruginosa. Thus, it may be considered as an endogenous inhibitor of nitrite reductase.
