Rate enhancement of bacterial extracellular electron transport involves bound flavin semiquinones.
Extracellular redox-active compounds, flavins and other quinones, have been hypothesized to play a major role in the delivery of electrons from cellular metabolic systems to extracellular insoluble substrates by a diffusion-based shuttling two-electron-transfer mechanism. Here we show that flavin molecules secreted by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 enhance the ability of its outer-membrane c-type c...
متن کاملFlavin Electron Shuttles Dominate Extracellular Electron Transfer by Shewanella oneidensis
UNLABELLED Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 is widely studied for its ability to respire a diverse array of soluble and insoluble electron acceptors. The ability to breathe insoluble substrates is defined as extracellular electron transfer and can occur via direct contact or by electron shuttling in S. oneidensis. To determine the contribution of flavin electron shuttles in extracellular elect...
متن کاملProton Transport in the Outer‐Membrane Flavocytochrome Complex Limits the Rate of Extracellular Electron Transport
The microbial transfer of electrons to extracellularly located solid compounds, termed extracellular electron transport (EET), is critical for microbial electrode catalysis. Although the components of the EET pathway in the outer membrane (OM) have been identified, the role of electron/cation coupling in EET kinetics is poorly understood. We studied the dynamics of proton transport associated w...
متن کاملCovalently bound Flavin Coenzymes.
Following elucidation of the structures of the flavin components of succinate dehydrogenase (SD) as N (3)-histidyl-8a-FAD and of monoamine oxidase (MAO) as cysteinyl-8a-FAD and determination of the peptide sequences around the flavin sites of these enzymes, attention has been focused on the covalently bound FAD of Chromatium cytochrome c-552. As documented in preliminary communications, the FAD...
متن کاملEstradiol-induced enhancement of object memory consolidation involves hippocampal extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and membrane-bound estrogen receptors.
The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway is critical for various forms of learning and memory, and is activated by the potent estrogen 17beta-estradiol (E(2)). Here, we asked whether E(2) modulates memory via ERK activation and putative membrane-bound estrogen receptors (ERs). Using ovariectomized mice, we first demonstrate that intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mg/kg E(2) signifi...
