Aerobic ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) play a crucial role in the global nitrogen cycle by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite, and nitric oxide (NO) is a key intermediate in AOA for sustaining aerobic ammonia oxidation activity. We herein heterologously expressed the NO-forming, copper-containing, dissimilatory nitrite reductase (NirK) from Nitrososphaera viennensis and investigated its enzymatic properties. The recombinant protein catalyzed the reduction of ¹⁵NO₂^– to ¹⁵NO, the oxidation of hydroxylamine (¹⁵NH₂OH) to ¹⁵NO, and the production of ^14-15N₂O from ¹⁵NH₂OH and ¹⁴NO₂^–. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to document the enzymatic properties of AOA NirK.
