Direct electron transfer between copper-containing proteins and electrodes.
The electrochemistry of some copper-containing proteins and enzymes, viz. azurin, galactose oxidase, tyrosinase (catechol oxidase), and the "blue" multicopper oxidases (ascorbate oxidase, bilirubin oxidase, ceruloplasmin, laccase) is reviewed and discussed in conjunction with their basic biochemical and structural characteristics. It is shown that long-range electron transfer between these enzy...
متن کاملBacterial Periplasmic Binding Proteins
The cell envelope of gram-negative bacteria includes inner and outer membranes with the periplasmic space in between. The transport systems for many nutrients in these organisms include components in both the periplasm and the inner membrane. In some cases, e.g., maltose, transport components in the outer membrane are also involved. The scope of this review will be limited to a progress report ...
متن کاملDirect Observation of the Uptake of Outer Membrane Proteins by the Periplasmic Chaperone Skp
The transportation of membrane proteins through the aqueous subcellular space is an important and challenging process. Its molecular mechanism and the associated structural change are poorly understood. Periplasmic chaperones, such as Skp in Escherichia coli, play key roles in the transportation and protection of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria. The molecular mechanism ...
متن کاملCopper Homeostasis in Salmonella Is Atypical and Copper-CueP Is a Major Periplasmic Metal Complex*
Salmonella enterica sv. typhimurium (S. enterica sv. Typhimurium) has two metal-transporting P(1)-type ATPases whose actions largely overlap with respect to growth in elevated copper. Mutants lacking both ATPases over-accumulate copper relative to wild-type or either single mutant. Such duplication of ATPases is unusual in bacterial copper tolerance. Both ATPases are under the control of MerR f...
متن کاملInteraction between bacterial outer membrane proteins and periplasmic quality control factors: a kinetic partitioning mechanism.
The OMPs (outer membrane proteins) of Gram-negative bacteria have to be translocated through the periplasmic space before reaching their final destination. The aqueous environment of the periplasmic space and high permeability of the outer membrane engender such a translocation process inevitably challenging. In Escherichia coli, although SurA, Skp and DegP have been identified to function in t...
