Sulfite Reductase Protects Plants against Sulfite Toxicity1[W][OA]
Plant sulfite reductase (SiR; Enzyme Commission 1.8.7.1) catalyzes the reduction of sulfite to sulfide in the reductive sulfate assimilation pathway. Comparison of SiR expression in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ‘Rheinlands Ruhm’) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants revealed that SiR is expressed in a different tissue-dependent manner that likely reflects dissimilarity in sulfur metabo...
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...
متن کاملThermolabile Sulfite Reductase from Salmonella pullorum'
The biochemical basis for sulfite accumulation by sulfate-using revertants of Salmonella pullorum was determined. All of the sulfate-using mutants isolated from wild-type S. pullorum accumulated sulfite when grown at 37 but not at 25 C. The specific activity of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADPH)-dependent sulfite reductase (H2S-NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.8.1.2) and of reduced meth...
متن کاملFlavin interaction in NADPH-sulfite reductase.
E. coli NADPH-sulfite reductase, depleted of FMN but retaining its FAD, has been prepared by photoirradiation of native enzyme in 30% — saturated ammonium sulfate. FMN-depleted enzyme loses its ability to reduce (using NADPH) ferricyanide, cytochrome c, sulfite, or the enzyme's own heme-like chromophore. However, the FAD remains rapidly reducible by NADPH, and the FMN-depleted enzyme retains NA...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of Desulfovibrio vulgaris dissimilatory sulfite reductase bound to DsrC provides novel insights into the mechanism of sulfate respiration.
Sulfate reduction is one of the earliest types of energy metabolism used by ancestral organisms to sustain life. Despite extensive studies, many questions remain about the way respiratory sulfate reduction is associated with energy conservation. A crucial enzyme in this process is the dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dSiR), which contains a unique siroheme-[4Fe4S] coupled cofactor. Here, we rep...
