Ammonium monooxygenase from Nitrosomonas europaea

Ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) from Nitrosomonas europaea converts ammonia to hydroxylamine;

NH3 + O2 + cycAXred + 2 H+ → NH2OH + H2O + cycAXox

The whole operon containing amoA1, amoB1, amoC1 http://ecocyc.org/NEUR228410/NEW-IMAGE?type=MAPTICK&object=2238597/2241670&chromosome=CHROMOSOME-1&bp-range=2238597/2241670 link to Biocyc was extracted by colony PCR on a N. europaea culture.


Usage and Biology

AMO is an integral membrane protein composed of 3 subunits (amoA, amoB, amoC) and is first step in the enzymatic conversion of ammonia to nitrite in the nitrifying bacteria genus. AMO converts ammonia into the intermediate hydroxylamine. This protein works in close relationship with cycA, cycX and Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) to complete the nitrification process by converting hydroxylamine to nitrite. HAO is providing 2 free electrons that are picked up and delivered to AMO by the cytochromes cycA and cycX, however another cytochrome from E. coli can also fill this role and the AMO can function on its own as well.

Characterization

Dtu_amo_small.png


Ammonia consumption with respect to growth (optical density) for two replicates of the AMO transformant, and untransformed E. coli control. The rate of consumption of ammonia is much higher in the transformant than in the control. (larger image)

This part is experienced to slow down growth rates of E.coli substantially; likely because this is a heterologously expressed membrane protein and thereby disrupts the E.coli membrane, and because the hydroxylamine product is toxic to E. coli.
