چکیده

Large single crystals of the high potential iron-sulfur protein isolated from Rhodospirillum tenue strain 3761 have been obtained. They belong to the space group P2(1) with unit cell dimensions of a = 36.7 A, b = 52.6 A, c = 27.6 A, and beta = 90.8 degrees. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Based on oscillation photographs, the crystals diffract to at least 1.6 A resolution. They are stable in the x-ray beam and appear suitable for a high resolution x-ray structure analysis.

Primary structure of a high potential, four-iron-sulfur ferredoxin from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum tenue.

The amino acid sequence of a high oxidation-reduction potential iron-sulfur protein (HiPIP) isolated from the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum tenue has been determined. This is the smallest of the HiPIP's, containing 63 residues, with only 3 residues apparently conserved in addition to the 4 cluster-binding cysteines. A minimum of four internal genetic gaps is postulated to align...

Crystallization of a high potential iron-sulfur protein from the halophilic phototrophic bacterium Ectothiorhodospira halophila.

Crystals of the high-potential iron-sulfur protein from Ectothiorhodospira halophila strain BN 9626 have been grown from 3.4 to 3.5 M ammonium sulfate solutions at pH 7.5. The crystals belong to the space group P21 with unit cell dimensions of a = 60.00 A, b = 31.94 A, c = 40.27 A, and beta = 100.5 degrees. There are 2 molecules/asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 1.8 A, are stab...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the tungsten-dependent acetylene hydratase from Pelobacter acetylenicus.

Acetylene hydratase is a tungsten-containing hydroxylase that converts acetylene to acetaldehyde in a unique reaction that requires a strong reductant. The subsequent disproportionation of acetaldehyde yields acetate and ethanol. Crystals of the tungsten/iron-sulfur protein acetylene hydratase from Pelobacter acetylenicus strain WoAcy 1 (DSM 3246) were grown by the vapour-diffusion method in an...

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of ferredoxin isolated from thermophilic cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus.

Ferredoxins are soluble iron-sulfur proteins that are involved in numerous electron-transfer reactions. Plant-type ferredoxins, which carry a single [2Fe-2S] cluster, serve as the electron acceptors of Photosystem I. The ferredoxin from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus has unique thermostable properties. The isolated protein is active at temperatures of higher than 338 K....

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the molybdenum-dependent pyrogallol-phloroglucinol transhydroxylase of Pelobacter acidigallici.

Crystals of the molybdo-/iron-sulfur protein pyrogallol:phloroglucinol hydroxyltransferase (transhydroxylase; EC 1.97.1.2) from Pelobacter acidigallici were grown by vapour diffusion in an N(2)/H(2) atmosphere using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. In this microorganism, transhydroxylase converts pyrogallol to phloroglucinol in a unique reaction without oxygen transfer from water. Growth o...
