Abstract
⺠A nirK-homologous gene of an anammox bacterium strain KSU-1 was expressed in E. coli. ⺠The recombinant NirK protein was biochemically characterized. ⺠We confirmed that the protein is an ortholog of Cu-containing nitrite reductase. ⺠NirK is likely to catalyze the proposed initial step of the anammox process.
