Nickel requirement for active hydrogenase formation in Alcaligenes eutrophus.
The nickel-dependent chemolithoautotrophic growth of Alcaligenes eutrophus is apparently due to a requirement of nickel for active hydrogenase formation. Cells grown heterotrophically with fructose and glycerol revealed a specific activity of soluble and membrane-bound hydrogenase which was severalfold higher than the normal autotrophic level. The omission of nickel from the medium did not affe...
متن کاملThe Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 hoxX gene participates in hydrogenase regulation.
Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a 1,791-bp open reading frame in the hox gene cluster of the gram-negative chemolithotroph Alcaligenes eutrophus H16. In order to investigate the biological role of this open reading frame, we generated an in-frame deletion allele via a gene replacement strategy. The resulting mutant grew significantly more slowly than the wild type under lithoautotrophic c...
متن کاملAntigenic determinants of the membrane-bound hydrogenase in Alcaligenes eutrophus are exposed toward the periplasm.
Electron microscopic immunogold labeling experiments were performed with ultrathin sections of plasmolyzed cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus and "whole-mount" samples of spheroplasts and protoplasts. They demonstrated that antigenic determinants of the membrane-bound hydrogenase are exposed, at the outside of the cytoplasmic membrane, to the periplasm.
متن کاملSubforms and in vitro reconstitution of the NAD-reducing hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus.
The cytoplasmic, NAD-reducing hydrogenase (SH) of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 is a heterotetrameric enzyme which contains several cofactors and undergoes a complex maturation during biogenesis. HoxH is the Ni-carrying subunit, and together with HoxY it forms the hydrogenase dimer. HoxF and HoxU represent the flavin-containing diaphorase moiety, which is closely related to NADH:ubiquinone oxidored...
متن کاملThe membrane-bound hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus. I. Solubilization, purification, and biochemical properties.
The membrane-bound hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus was solubilized from washed membranes of autotrophically grown cells. The enzyme consists of two types of subunits and is an iron-sulfur protein. A flavin compound was not detected. The enzyme reacts only with few artificial electron acceptors.
