The Bifunctional Pyruvate Decarboxylase/Pyruvate Ferredoxin Oxidoreductase from Thermococcus guaymasensis
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus guaymasensis produces ethanol as a metabolic end product, and an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) catalyzing the reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol has been purified and characterized. However, the enzyme catalyzing the formation of acetaldehyde has not been identified. In this study an enzyme catalyzing the production of acetaldehyde from pyruvate was p...
متن کاملOctomeric pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris.
Pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductatse (PFOR) carries out the central step in oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. We have purified this enzyme from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DvH) as part of a systematic characterization of as many multiprotein complexes as possible for this organism, and the three-dimensional structure of this enzyme has been determined by a combinatio...
متن کاملInactivation of clostridial ferredoxin and pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase by sodium nitrite.
Clostridial ferredoxin and pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity was investigated after in vitro or in vivo treatment with sodium nitrite. In vitro treatment of commercially available Clostridium pasteurianum ferredoxin with sodium nitrite inhibited ferredoxin activity. Inhibition of ferredoxin activity increased with increasing levels of sodium nitrite. Ferredoxin was isolated from norma...
متن کاملPhysiological roles of pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase and pyruvate formate-lyase in Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum JW/SL-YS485
BACKGROUND Thermoanaerobacter saccharolyticum is a thermophilic microorganism that has been engineered to produce ethanol at high titer (30-70 g/L) and greater than 90 % theoretical yield. However, few genes involved in pyruvate to ethanol production pathway have been unambiguously identified. In T. saccharolyticum, the products of six putative pfor gene clusters and one pfl gene may be respons...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase from the anaerobic protozoon Trichomonas vaginalis.
The pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase from the anaerobic protozoon Trichomonas vaginalis is an extrinsic protein bound to the hydrogenosomal membrane. It has been solubilized and purified to homogeneity, principally by salting-out chromatography on Sepharose 4B. Low recoveries of active enzyme were caused by inactivation by O2 and the irreversible loss of thiamin pyrophosphate. It is a dimeri...
