X-ray structure of a soluble Rieske-type ferredoxin from Mus musculus

Assignment of 1H, 13C and 15N NMR signals from toluene 4-monooxygenase Rieske ferredoxin in its oxidized state.

Rieske [2Fe-2S] centers are found in membrane ubiquinone cytochrome oxidase complexes (Trumpower and Gennis, 1994), as integral parts of the active site in the cis-dihydrodiol forming aromatic dioxygenases (Mason and Cammack, 1992), and as soluble electron carriers in bacterial dioxygenase and monooxygenase complexes (Harayama et al., 1992). X-ray crystal structures of the Rieske domains from t...

Leptospirosis in small mammals of Iran: II: Isolation of Leptospira grippotyphosa, from Mus musculus

A cluster exposed: structure of the Rieske ferredoxin from biphenyl dioxygenase and the redox properties of Rieske Fe-S proteins.

BACKGROUND Ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases are multicomponent systems that initiate biodegradation of aromatic compounds. Many dioxygenase systems include Rieske-type ferredoxins with amino acid sequences and redox properties remarkably different from the Rieske proteins of proton-translocating respiratory and photosynthetic complexes. In the latter, the [Fe2S2] clusters lie near the protein su...

Chromosome C-banding in Mus musculus L.1766 Strains Shows a Fixed Position for the Centromere and Variable Amounts in Different Populations

Three subspecies of Mus musculus have been recognized in Iran so far. The house mouse (genus0T 0T2TMus2T, species0T 0T2TMus musculus2T) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer accurate taxonomic markers in this species that has been shown any unambiguous diagnostic morphological traits. Among the chromosomal character...

Hybrid origin of Japanese mice "Mus musculus molossinus": evidence from restriction analysis of mitochondrial DNA.

The Japanese mouse, Mus musculus molossinus, has long been considered an independent subspecies of the house mouse. A survey of restriction-site haplotypes of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) showed that Japanese mice have two main maternal lineages. The most common haplotype is closely related to the mtDNA of the European subspecies M. m. musculus. The other common haplotype and two minor ones are cl...
