Molybdenum-cofactor-containing enzymes: structure and mechanism.
Molybdenum-containing enzymes catalyze basic metabolic reactions in the nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon cycles. With the exception of the nitrogenase cofactor, molybdenum is incorporated into proteins as the molybdenum cofactor that contains a mononuclear molybdenum atom coordinated to the sulfur atoms of a pterin derivative named molybdopterin. Certain microorganisms can also utilize tungsten in ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the active site and calcium binding in cytochrome c nitrite reductases.
The decahaem homodimeric cytochrome c nitrite reductase (NrfA) is expressed within the periplasm of a wide range of Gamma-, Delta- and Epsilon-proteobacteria and is responsible for the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonia. This allows nitrite to be used as a terminal electron acceptor, facilitating anaerobic respiration while allowing nitrogen to remain in a biologically available form....

Electron transport through nitrate and nitrite reductases in Campylobacter jejuni.
Campylobacter jejuni is a small genome pathogen that is incapable of growing strictly anaerobically due to its dependence on an oxygen-requiring ribonucleotide reductase for DNA synthesis. Nevertheless, it has a complex branched respiratory chain, which allows the use of several alternative electron acceptors for growth under oxygen-limited conditions. C. jejuni is equipped with both nitrate re...
متن کاملSome properties of dissimilatory nitrate reductases lacking molybdenum and molybdenum cofactor
Novel periplasmic and membrane-bound nitrate reductases lacking molybdenum and molybdenum cofactor were isolated from the vanadate-reducing bacterium Pseudomonas isachenkovii, and their properties were studied. Both enzymes have some unusual features, i. e., the individual subunits (130-kD subunit of the membrane-bound enzyme and monomeric 55-kD subunit of the periplasmic enzyme) possess their ...
