Multiple copies of genes coding for electron transport proteins in the bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genome of Nitrosomonas europaea contains at least three copies each of the genes coding for hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) and cytochrome c554. A copy of an HAO gene is always located within 2.7 kb of a copy of a cytochrome c554 gene. Cytochrome P-460, a protein that shares very unusual spectral features with HAO, was found to be encoded by a gene separate from the HAO genes.

Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC 19718) is a gram-negative obligate chemolithoautotroph that can derive all its energy and reductant for growth from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. Nitrosomonas europaea participates in the biogeochemical N cycle in the process of nitrification. Its genome consists of a single circular chromosome of 2,812,094 bp. The GC skew analysis indicates that the genome is...

The genes encoding ammonia monooxygenase (amoCAB), hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (hao), and the c-type cytochrome c-554 (hcy) are present in multiple copies in the genome of Nitrosomonas europaea. The upstream regions of the two copies of amoC, the three copies of hao, and one copy of hcy were cloned and sequenced. Primer extension reactions were done to identify transcription start sites for th...

Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) from the autotrophic nitrifying bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea catalyzes the oxidation of NH(2)OH to HNO(2). The enzyme contains eight hemes per subunit which participate in catalytic function and electron transport. The structure of the enzyme shows a unique spatial arrangement of the eight hemes, subsets of which are now observed in four other proteins. The...

Nitrosomonas europaea is an aerobic lithoautotrophic bacterium that uses ammonia (NH3) as its energy source (3). As a nitrifier, it is an important participant in the N cycle, which can also influence the C cycle. The genome sequence of N. europaea has been annotated and consists of approximately 2460 protein-encoding genes (1). We are continuing to use the genome sequence to explore the geneti...
