Cofactor Tail Length Modulates Catalysis of Bacterial F420-Dependent Oxidoreductases
F420 is a microbial cofactor that mediates a wide range of physiologically important and industrially relevant redox reactions, including in methanogenesis and tetracycline biosynthesis. This deazaflavin comprises a redox-active isoalloxazine headgroup conjugated to a lactyloligoglutamyl tail. Here we studied the catalytic significance of the oligoglutamate chain, which differs in length betwee...
متن کاملMetabolic Engineering of Cofactor F420 Production in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Cofactor F(420) is a unique electron carrier in a number of microorganisms including Archaea and Mycobacteria. It has been shown that F(420) has a direct and important role in archaeal energy metabolism whereas the role of F(420) in mycobacterial metabolism has only begun to be uncovered in the last few years. It has been suggested that cofactor F(420) has a role in the pathogenesis of M. tuber...
متن کاملCofactor-dependent enzyme catalysis in functionalized ionic solvents.
Functionalized, hydrogen-bonding ionic liquids have been successfully evaluated as media for the performance of cofactor-dependent enzyme catalysed oxidations; the effects of incorporating hydroxyl groups into both the cation and anion have been studied and the dependence of activity upon water content has been evaluated.
متن کاملThe mechanism of catalysis by type-II NADH:quinone oxidoreductases
Type II NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-2) is central to the respiratory chains of many organisms. It is not present in mammals so may be exploited as an antimicrobial drug target or used as a substitute for dysfunctional respiratory complex I in neuromuscular disorders. NDH-2 is a single-subunit monotopic membrane protein with just a flavin cofactor, yet no consensus exists on its mechanism. ...
متن کاملElectroneutral and electrogenic catalysis by dihaem-containing succinate:quinone oxidoreductases.
Membrane protein complexes can support both the generation and utilization of a transmembrane electrochemical proton potential (Deltap), either by supporting transmembrane electron transfer coupled to protolytic reactions on opposite sides of the membrane or by supporting transmembrane proton transfer. Regarding the first mechanism, this has been unequivocally demonstrated to be operational for...
