Characterization of three XylT-like [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins associated with catabolism of cresols or naphthalene: evidence for their involvement in catechol dioxygenase reactivation.
The xylT gene product, a component of the xylene catabolic pathway of Pseudomonas putida mt2, has been recently characterized as a novel [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin which specifically reactivates oxygen-inactivated catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (XylE). In this study, three XylT-like proteins potentially involved in the catabolism of naphthalene (NahT) or cresols (PhhQ and DmpQ) have been overexpressed in Es...
متن کاملStructure-function studies of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins.
The ability to overexpress [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins in Escherichia coli has opened up exciting research opportunities. High-resolution x-ray structures have been determined for the wild-type ferredoxins produced by the vegatative and heterocyst forms of Anabaena strain 7120 (in their oxidized states), and these have been compared to structural information derived from multidimensional, multinuclear...
متن کاملdetection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts
in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
An Analysis of g Strain in the EPR of Two [2Fe-2S] Ferredoxins. Evidence for a Protein Rigidity Model
Replacing current notions of a pammagnetic center in a metalloprotein as a single entity in vivo with the more real&tic concept of an ensemble of spin systems, each uniquely dishded by its own surrounding protein leads to a rigorous description of the spectroscopic factor, g, as a random variable whose statistical properties contain information on the rigidity of the protein. Generation of a co...
متن کاملReactivity of reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins parallels host susceptibility to nitroimidazoles.
The kinetics of the electron transfer reaction between reduced [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins and select nitroimidazole antimicrobial agents is reported. The ferredoxins from the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis and the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain 7120 were studied because they are the proximal electron donors to nitroimidazoles in these two organisms with significantly different nitroimidazole sus...
