EC 1.7.2.9     
Accepted name: hydroxylamine oxidase
Reaction: hydroxylamine + 3 ferricytochrome c = nitric oxide + 3 ferrocytochrome c + 3 H+
Other name(s): HOX
Systematic name: hydroxylamine:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase (nitric acid-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacterium Kuenenia stuttgartiensis, is very similar to EC 1.7.2.6, hydroxylamine dehydrogenase. Both enzymes are homotrimeric enzymes in which each subunit contains seven c-type hemes and one specialized P460-type heme that is bound to a tyrosine residue in an adjacent subunit. However, this enzyme catalyses only the 3 electron oxidation of hydroxylamine, forming nitric oxide, and is not capable of performing further oxidation to form nitrite.
