چکیده
In addition to the previous isolated and sequenced polypeptides from green photosynthetic sulfur bacteria, which are presumably involved in binding BChl c and e, an analogous polypeptide has been purified from the BChl d-containing bacterium Chlorobium vibrioforme f. thiosulfatophilum. The primary structure of this 6.15 kDa polypeptide was determined. It shows an extremely high homology (98.3%) to the corresponding polypeptide from Pelodictyon luteolum, indicative of an important functional role.

Phylogenetic taxonomy of the family Chlorobiaceae on the basis of 16S rRNA and fmo (Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein) gene sequences.
A new taxonomy of the green sulfur bacteria is proposed, based on phylogenetic relationships determined using the sequences of the independent 16S rRNA and fmo (Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein) genes, and supported by the DNA G + C content and sequence signatures. Comparison of the traditional classification system for these bacteria with their phylogenetic relationship yielded a confusing picture...
متن کاملStructure of Chlorobium vibrioforme 5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase complexed with a diacid inhibitor.
The structure of Chlorobium vibrioforme 5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) complexed with the irreversible inhibitor 4,7-dioxosebacic acid has been solved. The inhibitor binds by forming Schiff-base linkages with lysines 200 and 253 at the active site. The structure reported here provides a definition of the interactions made by both of the substrate molecules (A-side and P-side substrat...
متن کاملMalate dehydrogenase from the mesophile Chlorobium vibrioforme and from the mild thermophile Chlorobium tepidum: molecular cloning, construction of a hybrid, and expression in Escherichia coli.
The genes (mdh) encoding malate dehydrogenase (MDH) from the mesophile Chlorobium vibrioforme and the moderate thermophile C. tepidum were cloned and sequenced, and the complete amino acid sequences were deduced. When the region upstream of mdh was analyzed, a sequence with high homology to an operon encoding ribosomal proteins from Escherichia coli was found. Each mdh gene consists of a 930-bp...
متن کاملCrystallization, preliminary crystallographic analysis and phasing of the thiosulfate-binding protein SoxY from Chlorobium limicola f. thiosulfatophilum.
The 22 kDa SoxYZ protein complex from the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium limicola f. thiosulfatophilum is a central player in the sulfur-oxidizing (Sox) enzyme system of the organism by activating thiosulfate for oxidation by SoxXA and SoxB. It has been proposed that SoxYZ exists as a heterodimer or heterotetramer, but the properties and role of the individual components of the complex thus ...
متن کاملStable sulfur isotope fractionation by the green bacterium Chlorobaculum parvum during photolithoautotrophic growth on sulfide.
Growing cultures of the green obligate photolithotroph, Chlorobaculum parvum DSM 263T (formerly Chlorobium vibrioforme forma specialis thiosulfatophilum NCIB 8327), oxidized sulfide quantitatively to elemental sulfur, with no sulfate formation. In the early stages of growth and sulfide oxidation, the sulfur product became significantly enriched with 34S, with a maximum delta34S above +5 per tho...
