Sulfite oxidase activity of cytochrome c: Role of hydrogen peroxide
In humans, sulfite is generated endogenously by the metabolism of sulfur containing amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. Sulfite is also formed from exposure to sulfur dioxide, one of the major environmental pollutants. Sulfite is used as an antioxidant and preservative in dried fruits, vegetables, and beverages such as wine. Sulfite is also used as a stabilizer in many drugs. Sulfite t...
متن کاملCytochrome electron spin resonance line shapes, ligand fields, and components stoichiometry in ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase.
The EPR spectra of the cytochromes in ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (Complex III) have peaks at g = 3.78 (cytochrome b566) g = 3.45 (cytochrome b562) and g = 3.35 (cytochrome c1). The highly asymmetric peak of cytochrome b566 has been simulated using an arbitrary gaussian distribution of crystal field parameters. The asymmetry is due to the nonlinear relationship between field position ...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic sulfite biosensor with human sulfite oxidase co-immobilized with cytochrome c in a polyelectrolyte-containing multilayer
An efficient electrocatalytic biosensor for sulfite detection was developed by co-immobilizing sulfite oxidase and cytochrome c with polyaniline sulfonic acid in a layer-by-layer assembly. QCM, UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry revealed increasing loading of electrochemically active protein with the formation of multilayers. The sensor operates reagentless at low working potential. A c...
متن کاملQuinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c4 mediate electron transfer during selenate respiration in Thauera selenatis.
Selenate reductase (SER) from Thauera selenatis is a periplasmic enzyme that has been classified as a type II molybdoenzyme. The enzyme comprises three subunits SerABC, where SerC is an unusual b-heme cytochrome. In the present work the spectropotentiometric characterization of the SerC component and the identification of redox partners to SER are reported. The mid-point redox potential of the ...
متن کاملA sulfite respiration pathway from Thermus thermophilus and the key role of newly identified cytochrome c₅₅₀.
Sulfite, produced for instance during amino acid metabolism, is a very reactive and toxic compound. Various detoxification mechanisms exist, but sulfite oxidoreductases (SORs) are one of the major actors in sulfite remediation in bacteria and animals. Here we describe the existence of an operon in the extreme thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 encoding both a SOR and a diheme c-typ...
