Heterologous metalloprotein biosynthesis in Escherichia coli: conditions for the overproduction of functional copper-containing nitrite reductase and azurin from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans.
This paper reports on the optimization of conditions for the overproduction and isolation of two recombinant copper metalloproteins, originally encoded on the chromosome of the dentrifying soil bacterium Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, in the heterologous host Escherichia coli. The trimeric enzyme nitrite reductase (NiR) contains both type-1 and type-2 Cu centres, whilst its putative redox partner, a...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of the dissimilatory nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (N.C.I.M.B. 11015): evidence for the presence of both type 1 and type 2 copper centres.
Dissimilatory nitrite reductase was isolated from extracts of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (N.C.I.M.B. 11015), after activation of crude extracts by the addition of copper(II) sulphate. The enzyme was purified by a combination of (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and cationic-exchange chromatography to 93% homogeneity as judged by SDS/PAGE. SDS/PAGE and spray m.s. showed that the enzyme h...
متن کاملDeconvolution and assignment of different optical transitions of the blue copper protein azurin from optically detected electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Magnetic circular dichroism is a powerful spectroscopic tool for the assignment of optical resonance lines. An extension of this technique, microwave-modulated circular dichroism, provides additional details, in particular information about the orientation of optical transition moments. It arises from magnetization precessing around the static magnetic field, excited by a microwave field, in cl...
متن کاملThe alkaline transition of blue copper proteins, Cucumis sativus plastocyanin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin.
Autoreduction of Cucumis sativus plastocyanin and Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin took place at alkaline pHs, having been accompanied by the decrease in the intensities of the charge transfer band, Cys-S- (pi)-->Cu(II) at 597 and 626 nm, and the Cu(II)-EPR signals with small AII values of 6.5 x 10(-3) and 5.3 x 10(-3) cm(-1) for plastocyanin and azurin, respectively. Further, an extra Cu(II)-EPR ...
متن کاملMarked changes in electron transport through the blue copper protein azurin in the solid state upon deuteration.
Measuring solid-state electron transport (ETp) across proteins allows studying electron transfer (ET) mechanism(s), while minimizing solvation effects on the process. ETp is, however, sensitive to any static (conformational) or dynamic (vibrational) changes in the protein. Our macroscopic measurements allow extending ETp studies to low temperatures, with the concomitant resolution of lower curr...
