Molecular Basis of Sulfite Oxidase Deficiency from the Structure of Sulfite Oxidase
The molybdenum-containing enzyme sulfite oxidase catalyzes the conversion of sulfite to sulfate, the terminal step in the oxidative degradation of cysteine and methionine. Deficiency of this enzyme in humans usually leads to major neurological abnormalities and early death. The crystal structure of chicken liver sulfite oxidase at 1.9 A resolution reveals that each monomer of the dimeric enzyme...
متن کاملHepatic Sulfite Oxidase
Sulfite oxidase (EC 1.8.3.1), when reduced by sulfite, exhibited the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of molybdenum(V). Specific calorimetric analyses demonstrated that the purified enzyme contained 1 molybdenum per heme. The electron paramagnetic resonance signal of molybdenum, which was generated by the addition of sulfite, was enriched by the purification procedure to the same degree...
متن کاملPurification and properties of sulfite oxidase from chicken liver. Presence of molybdenum in sulfite oxidase from diverse sources.
Sulfite oxidase (EC 1.8.3.1) has been purified from chicken liver by modification of a procedure previously applied to bovine liver. The enzyme appears homogeneous as judged by its behavior in sedimentation velocity experiments and polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. A new activity stain for the enzyme on acrylamide gels is described. Despite its apparent homogeneity, the enzyme consistent...

متن کاملSulfur Isotope Effects of Dissimilatory Sulfite Reductase
The precise interpretation of environmental sulfur isotope records requires a quantitative understanding of the biochemical controls on sulfur isotope fractionation by the principle isotope-fractionating process within the S cycle, microbial sulfate reduction (MSR). Here we provide the only direct observation of the major ((34)S/(32)S) and minor ((33)S/(32)S, (36)S/(32)S) sulfur isotope fractio...
