Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel fusion protein comprising a nitrate reductase (NR) and a truncated hemoglobin N (trHbN) domain. The fusion protein may be used for bioremediation of nitric oxide.
Claims20
An isolated fusion protein comprising a nitrate reductase (NR) and a truncated hemoglobin N (trHbN) domain, wherein the fusion protein comprises a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or 5.
A composition for reducing nitric oxide, comprising an effective amount of an isolated fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises a nitrate reductase (NR) and a truncated hemoglobin N (trHbN) domain, wherein the fusion protein comprises a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or 5.
A method for reducing nitric oxide, comprising applying an effective amount of a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises a nitrate reductase (NR) and a truncated hemoglobin N (trHbN) domain, and wherein the fusion protein comprises a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or 5.
