nitrate reductase  M-CSA #323

This chloroplastic, ferredoxin dependent nitrate reductase contains a siroheme with a distal cysteine ligand that also serves as a ligand of the iron sulfur ([4Fe-4S]) cluster. The physiological ferredoxin electron donor is reduced by the NADPH pool, produced via the reductive pentose phosphate cycle. The binding of ferredoxin is thought to induce large conformational changes within the enzyme, controlling the access of solvent to the active site and therefore the pKa associated with proximate, ionisable residues [PMID:7487061, PMID:14717606]. It is involved in the pathway nitrate reduction (assimilation), which is part of nitrogen metabolism.
