Molybdenum Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase
The conversion of carbon sources such as coal and methane into liquid fuels, methanol and alkanes, the latter via the Fisher-Tropsch process, requires careful control of the H2/CO ratio in synthesis gas. 1 The control is achieved in industry by the water-gas shift reaction. (Figure 1). 2 The study of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) enzymes is significant to the water gas shift reaction bec...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Rhodospirillum rubrum.
The carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum was purified over 600-fold by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, heat treatment, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and preparative scale gel electrophoresis. In vitro, this enzyme catalyzed a two-electron oxidation of CO to form CO2 as the product. The reaction was dependent on the addition of an electron accept...
متن کاملThiosulfate-dependent chemolithoautotrophic growth of Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Thiosulfate-oxidizing sox gene homologues were found at four loci (I, II, III, and IV) on the genome of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110, a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium in soil. In fact, B. japonicum USDA110 can oxidize thiosulfate and grow under a chemolithotrophic condition. The deletion mutation of the soxY(1) gene at the sox locus I, homologous to the sulfur-oxidizing (Sox) system in...
متن کاملChemotaxis of Bradyrhizobium japonicum to soybean exudates.
The chemotactic response of Bradyrhizobium japonicum toward soybean seed and root exudates was examined. Assays using various isoflavones and fractionated exudate indicated that isoflavones are not the principal attractants in exudates. Likewise, induction of nod genes with isoflavones or seed exudate before assay did not enhance chemotaxis. Screening of numerous compounds revealed that only di...
متن کاملLife on carbon monoxide: X-ray structure of Rhodospirillum rubrum Ni-Fe-S carbon monoxide dehydrogenase.
A crystal structure of the anaerobic Ni-Fe-S carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) from Rhodospirillum rubrum has been determined to 2.8-A resolution. The CODH family, for which the R. rubrum enzyme is the prototype, catalyzes the biological oxidation of CO at an unusual Ni-Fe-S cluster called the C-cluster. The Ni-Fe-S C-cluster contains a mononuclear site and a four-metal cubane. Surprisingly,...
