General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity	Nitric oxide + H2O + ferricytochrome c = nitrite + ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+. NH3 + H2O + acceptor = hydroxylamine + reduced acceptor.
Cofactor	Binds 2 heme groups per subunit By similarity.
Subunit structure	Homodimer in solution.
Subcellular location	Periplasm.
Induction	By anaerobic conditions. Induced by nitrite, repressed by nitrate, and inhibited by oxygen.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 cytochrome c domain.
