Roles of a conserved arginine residue of DsbB in linking protein disulfide-bond-formation pathway to the respiratory chain of Escherichia coli.
The active-site cysteines of DsbA, the periplasmic disulfide-bond-forming enzyme of Escherichia coli, are kept oxidized by the cytoplasmic membrane protein DsbB. DsbB, in turn, is oxidized by two kinds of quinones (ubiquinone for aerobic and menaquinone for anaerobic growth) in the electron-transport chain. We describe the isolation of dsbB missense mutations that change a highly conserved argi...
متن کاملRespiratory chain is required to maintain oxidized states of the DsbA-DsbB disulfide bond formation system in aerobically growing Escherichia coli cells.
DsbA, the disulfide bond catalyst of Escherichia coli, is a periplasmic protein having a thioredoxin-like Cys-30-Xaa-Xaa-Cys-33 motif. The Cys-30-Cys-33 disulfide is donated to a pair of cysteines on the target proteins. Although DsbA, having high oxidizing potential, is prone to reduction, it is maintained essentially all oxidized in vivo. DsbB, an integral membrane protein having two pairs of...
متن کاملIdentification of an atypical membrane protein involved in the formation of protein disulfide bonds in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms.
The evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria nearly three billion years ago provided abundant reducing power and facilitated the elaboration of numerous oxygen-dependent reactions in our biosphere. Cyanobacteria contain an internal thylakoid membrane system, the site of photosynthesis, and a typical Gram-negative envelope membrane system. Like other organisms, the extracytoplasmic ...
متن کاملDisulfide bond formation by exported glutaredoxin indicates glutathione's presence in the E. coli periplasm.
Organisms have evolved elaborate systems that ensure the homeostasis of the thiol redox environment in their intracellular compartments. In Escherichia coli, the cytoplasm is kept under reducing conditions by the thioredoxins with the help of thioredoxin reductase and the glutaredoxins with the small molecule glutathione and glutathione reductase. As a result, disulfide bonds are constantly res...
