Electron transfer precedes ATP hydrolysis during nitrogenase catalysis.
The biological reduction of N2 to NH3 catalyzed by Mo-dependent nitrogenase requires at least eight rounds of a complex cycle of events associated with ATP-driven electron transfer (ET) from the Fe protein to the catalytic MoFe protein, with each ET coupled to the hydrolysis of two ATP molecules. Although steps within this cycle have been studied for decades, the nature of the coupling between ...
متن کاملThermodynamic aspects of ATP hydrolysis of actomyosin complex
Directional movement of cellular components is essential to all eukaryotic cells, and is driven by a mechanoenzymatic system consisting largely of the actin– myosin cytoskeletal protein complex. Structural and functional analysis of this complex has provided critical insights into the mechanisms that enforce and regulate the movement of intracellular components such as muscle fibers, vesicles, ...
متن کاملAutoionization mediated by electron transfer.
Electron-electron coincidence spectra of Ar-Kr clusters after photoionization have been measured. An electron with the kinetic energy range from 0 to approximately 1 eV is found in coincidence with the Ar 3s cluster photoelectron. The low kinetic energy electron can be attributed to an Ar + Kr+ + Kr+ final state which forms after electron transfer mediated decay. This autoionization mechanism r...
متن کاملMyosin ATP hydrolysis: a mechanism involving a magnesium chelate complex.
It is suggested that under physiological conditions (> 1 mM Mg(2+)) MgATP binds to myosin to form a chelate involving the two reactive sulfhydryl sites (SH(1) and SH(2)). The stability of the chelate structure results in marked inhibition of the myosin ATPase in the presence of millimolar magnesium ion. The inhibitory effect of magnesium ion can be eliminated chemically by blocking either the S...
متن کاملAllosteric effects of RuvA protein, ATP, and DNA on RuvB protein-mediated ATP hydrolysis.
A detailed characterization of RuvB protein-mediated ATP hydrolysis in the presence of RuvA protein has provided (a) the steady-state kinetic parameters of ATP hydrolysis within a RuvAB complex and (b) several insights into the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis and its coupling to translocation on DNA. In general, the RuvA protein increases the kcat and decreases the Km for the RuvB ATPase activity. ...
