The enigma of Paracoccus pantotrophus cytochrome cd(1) activation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paracoccus pantotrophus cytochrome cd(1) nitrite reductase is isolated under aerobic conditions from anaerobically grown cells in an inactive form. This state requires reductive activation to make it catalytically competent for nitrite reduction. In this work, we discuss the methods of this reductive activation and its consequences for the cell.

A re-evaluation of the taxonomy of Paracoccus denitrificans and a proposal for the combination Paracoccus pantotrophus comb. nov.
Comparison of both 16S rRNA coding sequences and DNA-DNA hybridization of ten strains of alpha-subclass of Proteobacteria currently classified as strains of Paracoccus denitrificans has shown that they fall into two groups which are distinct from each other at the species level. Comparison with published data on the cytochrome c profiles and other 16S rRNA coding sequences in the literature has...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent conformation of a heme and fingerprint peptide of the diheme cytochrome c peroxidase from Paracoccus pantotrophus.
The structural changes in the heme macrocycle and substituents caused by binding of Ca(2+) to the diheme cytochrome c peroxidase from Paracoccus pantotrophus were clarified by resonance Raman spectroscopy of the inactive fully oxidized form of the enzyme. The changes in the macrocycle vibrational modes are consistent with a Ca(2+)-dependent increase in the out-of-plane distortion of the low-pot...
متن کاملThe shxVW locus is essential for oxidation of inorganic sulfur and molecular hydrogen by Paracoccus pantotrophus GB17: a novel function for lithotrophy.
The shxVW genes of Paracoccus pantotrophus were identified to be essential for lithotrophic oxidation of sulfur and hydrogen. shxV predicts a membrane protein which is 42% identical to CcdA of P. pantotrophus essential for cytochrome c biogenesis. shxW predicts a periplasmic thioredoxin. Disruption of shxV by an Omega-kanamycin interposon disabled the resulting mutant GB(Omega)V to grow with th...
متن کاملObservation of fast release of NO from ferrous d₁ haem allows formulation of a unified reaction mechanism for cytochrome cd₁ nitrite reductases.
Cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase is a haem-containing enzyme responsible for the reduction of nitrite into NO, a key step in the anaerobic respiratory process of denitrification. The active site of cytochrome cd1 contains the unique d1 haem cofactor, from which NO must be released. In general, reduced haems bind NO tightly relative to oxidized haems. In the present paper, we present experimenta...
متن کاملRedefining Paracoccus denitrificans and Paracoccus pantotrophus and the case for a reassessment of the strains held by international culture collections.
An outline of the current taxonomic diversity of the genus Paracoccus is presented. A definitive summary is given of the valid type strains of Paracoccus denitrificans and Paracoccus pantotrophus and of culture collection strains that can be assigned to these species. The case is established for a critical reassessment of the P. denitrificans strains held by international culture collections, t...
