Cytochrome aa3 from Nitrosomonas europaea.
Cytochrome c oxidase has been purified from the ammonia oxidizing chemoautotroph Nitrosomonas europaea by ion-exchange chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100. The enzyme has absorption maxima at 420 and 592 nm in the resting state and at 444 and 598 nm in the dithionite-reduced form; optical extinction coefficient (598 nm minus 640 nm) = 21.9 cm-1 nM-1. The enzyme has approximately 11 n...
متن کاملHigh-yield purification of cytochrome aa3 and cytochrome caa3 oxidases from Bacillus subtilis plasma membranes.
When grown in aerated shaking culture, Bacillus subtilis expresses two different haem A-containing terminal oxidases: cytochrome aa3-quinol oxidase and cytochrome caa3 oxidase. This paper describes a high-yield conventional procedure for purifying the two haem A-containing oxidases from the same aerobic culture of Bacillus subtilis. Yields of close to 40% of the total haem A are achieved and ab...
متن کاملStreptomycin accumulation by Bacillus subtilis requires both a membrane potential and cytochrome aa3.
Cytochrome aa3 concentrations in the cytoplasmic membrane of Bacillus subtilis were altered by growth conditions, and the effects on the membrane potential (delta psi) in whole cells were measured. When cytochrome aa3 was absent, the magnitude of delta psi was not diminished by comparison with the delta psi measured in cells containing normal cytochrome aa3 concentrations. In addition, the ener...
متن کاملAn Inner Membrane Cytochrome Required Only for Reduction of High Redox Potential Extracellular Electron Acceptors
UNLABELLED Dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria, such as Geobacter sulfurreducens, transfer electrons beyond their outer membranes to Fe(III) and Mn(IV) oxides, heavy metals, and electrodes in electrochemical devices. In the environment, metal acceptors exist in multiple chelated and insoluble forms that span a range of redox potentials and offer different amounts of available energy. Despite ...
متن کاملA high redox potential form of cytochrome c550 in photosystem II from Thermosynechococcus elongatus.
Cytochrome c(550) (cyt c(550)) is a component of photosystem II (PSII) from cyanobacteria, red algae, and some other eukaryotic algae. Its physiological role remains unclear. In the present work, measurements of the midpoint redox potential (E(m)) were performed using intact PSII core complexes preparations from a histidine-tagged PSII mutant strain of the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosyne...
