چکیده
The composition of ferredoxin and rubredoxin from Desulfovibrio gigas was determined. Ferrodoxin contained five cysteines, two methionines, and four irons. The rubredoxin was not unique.

Analysis of the Desulfovibrio gigas transcriptional unit containing rubredoxin (rd) and rubredoxin-oxygen oxidoreductase (roo) genes and upstream ORFs.
Rubredoxin-oxygen oxidoreductase, an 86-kDa homodimeric flavoprotein, is the final component of a soluble electron transfer chain that couples NADH oxidation with oxygen reduction to water from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas. A 4.2-kb fragment of D. gigas chromosomal DNA containing the roo gene and the rubredoxin gene was sequenced. Additional open reading frames designated ...
متن کاملCrystal structure of rubredoxin from Desulfovibrio gigas to ultra - high 0 . 68 Å resolution q
Rubredoxin (D.g. Rd) is a small non-heme iron–sulfur protein shown to function as a redox coupling protein from the sulfate reducing bacteria Desulfovibrio gigas. The protein is generally purified from anaerobic bacteria in which it is thought to be involved in electron transfer or exchange processes. Rd transfers an electron to oxygen to form water as part of a unique electron transfer chain, ...
متن کاملRecombinant two-iron rubredoxin of Pseudomonas oleovorans: overexpression, purification and characterization by optical, CD and 113Cd NMR spectroscopies.
The gene (alk G) encoding the two-iron rubredoxin of Pseudomonas oleovorans was amplified from genomic DNA by PCR and subcloned into the expression vector pKK223-3. The vector directed the high-level production of rubredoxin in Escherichia coli. A simple three-step procedure was used to purify recombinant rubredoxin in the 1Fe form. 1Fe-rubredoxin was readily converted to the 2Fe, apoprotein an...
متن کاملCloning and sequencing of a [NiFe]
A hydrogenase operon was cloned from chromosomal DNA isolated from Desdfovibrb vulgaris Miyazaki F with the use of probes derived from the genes encoding [NiFe] hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. The nucleic acid sequence of the cloned DNA indicates this hydrogenase to be a two-subunit enzyme: the gene for the small subunit (267 residues; molecular mass = 28763 Da) precedes ...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of the gene encoding flavoredoxin, a flavoprotein from Desulfovibrio gigas.
Sulfate-reducing bacteria are rich in unique redox proteins and electron carriers that participate in a variety of essential pathways. Several studies have been carried out to characterize these proteins, but the structure and function of many are poorly understood. Many Desulfovibrio species can grow using hydrogen as the sole energy source, indicating that the oxidation of hydrogen with sulfi...
