Assimilatory nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1 NADH:nitrate oxidoreductase) from Chlorella vulgaris purified by affinity chromatography was found to be homogeneous as judged by electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel and by analytical ultracentrifugal techniques. The molecular weight of the intact enzyme and that of the enzyme dissociated in 6 M GuHCl, determined by sedimentation equilibrium studies, were 280,000 +/- 10,000 and 90,000 +/- 5,000, respectively. Comparable values were obtained using the S20,w value and the D20,w values in Svedberg's equation. The D20,w values were determined by laser light-scattering measurements. Active enzyme centrifugation showed that the monomer is an active species. A quantitative re-evaluation of the prosthetic groups present (FAD, heme, and molybdenum) was also made and was consistent with the conclusion that the active monomer contains three subunits as previously deduced by Solomonson et al. ((1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 4120). Electron micrographs showed images which corresponded to three subunits, supporting the data obtained by hydrodynamic studies. The enzyme is not cigar-shaped, as previously surmised, but has a roughly globular structure.
