Cytochrome c2-independent respiratory growth of Rhodobacter capsulatus.
نویسنده
چکیده
To assess the role of cytochrome c2 as a respiratory electron carrier, we obtained a double mutant of Rhodobacter capsulatus defective in cytochrome c2 and in the quinol oxidase260. This mutant was able to grow chemoheterotrophically, indicating that an electron pathway independent of cytochrome c2 was functional between the ubiquinol:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase and the cytochrome oxidase410.

Plasmon waveguide resonance spectroscopic evidence for differential binding of oxidized and reduced Rhodobacter capsulatus cytochrome c2 to the cytochrome bc1 complex mediated by the conformation of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein.
The dissociation constants for the binding of Rhodobacter capsulatus cytochrome c2 and its K93P mutant to the cytochrome bc1 complex embedded in a phospholipid bilayer were measured by plasmon waveguide resonance spectroscopy in the presence and absence of the inhibitor stigmatellin. The reduced form of cytochrome c2 strongly binds to reduced cytochrome bc1 (Kd = 0.02 microM) but binds much mor...
متن کاملInvolvement of SenC in assembly of cytochrome c oxidase in Rhodobacter capsulatus.
SenC, a Sco1 homolog found in the purple photosynthetic bacteria, has been implicated in affecting photosynthesis and respiratory gene expression, as well as assembly of cytochrome c oxidase. In this study, we show that SenC from Rhodobacter capsulatus is involved in the assembly of a fully functional cbb(3)-type cytochrome c oxidase, as revealed by decreased cytochrome c oxidase activity in a ...
متن کاملAbsence of Thiol-Disulfide Oxidoreductase DsbA Impairs cbb3-Type Cytochrome c Oxidase Biogenesis in Rhodobacter capsulatus
The thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase DsbA carries out oxidative folding of extra-cytoplasmic proteins by catalyzing the formation of intramolecular disulfide bonds. It has an important role in various cellular functions, including cell division. The purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus mutants lacking DsbA show severe temperature-sensitive and medium-dependent respiratory growth def...
متن کاملImportance of a conserved hydrogen-bonding network in cytochromes c to their redox potentials and stabilities.
To understand the determinants of redox potential and protein stability in c-type cytochromes, we have characterized two mutations to a highly conserved tyrosine group, tyrosine-75, of Rhodobacter capsulatus cytochrome c2. Mutant Y75F was designed to test the importance of the tyrosine hydroxyl group to the typically high redox potentials of the cytochromes c2 while maintaining a hydrophobic co...
متن کاملThe dithiol:disulfide oxidoreductases DsbA and DsbB of Rhodobacter capsulatus are not directly involved in cytochrome c biogenesis, but their inactivation restores the cytochrome c biogenesis defect of CcdA-null mutants.
The cytoplasmic membrane protein CcdA and its homologues in other species, such as DsbD of Escherichia coli, are thought to supply the reducing equivalents required for the biogenesis of c-type cytochromes that occurs in the periplasm of gram-negative bacteria. CcdA-null mutants of the facultative phototroph Rhodobacter capsulatus are unable to grow under photosynthetic conditions (Ps(-)) and d...
