In Chlamydmonas reinhardtii anti-NR antibody is also reacting with L-Aminoacid Oxidase (a nitrogen scavenging enzyme induced during nitrogen starvation).Using this antibody genome editing in Chlorella vulgaris UTEX395 by CRISPR-Cas9 system has been demonstrated as described in Kim et al. (2021)Chemiluminescent detection is advised for NR detection using this antibody.
Assimilative nitrate reductase (NR) (EC.1.6.6.1) catalyzes the reduction of nitric acid to nitrite in the cytoplasm. Plants contain two forms of NR: NADH-NR(the most common form found in plants and algae, mainly in green tissue) and NAD(P)H-NR(expressed in plants in low levels of composition with NADH or NADPH as the electron donor). NADH-NR is a homodimer of two identical subunits (100-115 kDa each, linked together by mo-co factors), each encoded by up to three genes (NR1-3, NIA1-NIA3).
