Iron respiration-driven proton translocation in aerobic bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Washed cell suspensions of Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum MS-1, A. itersonii E12639, Bacillus subtilis 6633, and Escherichia coli CSH27 translocated protons in response to the added oxidant O2 or NO3-, with triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide as the permeant ion. Iron respiration-driven proton translocation was observed in A. magnetotacticum MS-1, B. subtilis, and E. coli but not in a nonmagnetic strain of A. magnetotacticum (strain NM-1A) or with A. itersonii. Proton translocation to Fe3+ was totally inhibited by 500 microM NaN3 or 0.5 microM carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone.

Steps of the coupled charge translocation in the catalytic cycle of cytochrome c oxidase.
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) terminates the respiratory chain in mitochondria and in plasmatic membrane of many aerobic bacteria. The enzyme reduces dioxygen molecule into water and the reaction is accompanied with generation of transmembrane difference of electric potentials. The energy conservation by COX is based on the vectorial organization of the chemical reaction due to substrate protons t...
متن کاملInfluence of light and anoxia on chemiosmotic energy conservation in Dinoroseobacter shibae
In the present study we have investigated the influence of light and anoxia on the energetic state of the aerobic anoxygenic phototroph (AAP) Dinoroseobacter shibae. Respiration, chemiosmotic proton translocation and the adenylate energy charge (AEC) of the cells were measured comparing light versus dark and oxic versus anoxic conditions. Light caused a decrease of the respiration rates of wash...
متن کاملBacterial Na+-translocating ferredoxin:NAD+ oxidoreductase.
The anaerobic acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii carries out a unique type of Na(+)-motive, anaerobic respiration with caffeate as electron acceptor, termed "caffeate respiration." Central, and so far the only identified membrane-bound reaction in this respiration pathway, is a ferredoxin:NAD(+) oxidoreductase (Fno) activity. Here we show that inverted membrane vesicles of A. woodii cou...

The effect of carbon monoxide on the respiration of animal cells and aerobic bacteria (10), and on anaerobic butyric acid fermentation (6), has shown that the ferments which act as catalysts in these energy-yielding cellular processes are compounds of heavy metals: for carbon monoxide reacts at low temperatures only with heavy metals, and respiration as well as anaerobic butyric acid fermentati...
متن کاملBacterial sensors of oxygen.
The concentration of molecular oxygen (O(2)) began to increase in the Earth's atmosphere approximately two billion years ago. Its presence posed a threat to anaerobes but also offered opportunities for improved energy conservation via aerobic respiration. The ability to sense environmental O(2) thus became, and remains, important for many bacteria, both for protection and switching between anae...
