Both structures show a striking resemblance with the overall structure of the well-known CuNiRs composed of two Greek key -barrel domains; however, a remarkable structural difference was found in the N-terminal region. The unique region has one -strand and one -helix extended to the northern surface of the type-1 copper site. The superposition of the CuNiR model on the electron-transfer complex structure of CuNiR with the redox partner cytochrome in other denitrifier system led us to infer that this region contributes to the transient binding with the partner protein during the interprotein electron transfer reaction in the system. Furthermore, electron-transfer kinetics experiments using N-terminal residue-deleted mutant and the redox partner, cytochrome , were carried out. These structural and kinetics studies demonstrate that that region is directly involved in the specific partner recognition.
