Enzymes possessing the capacity to oxidize molecular hydrogen have developed convergently three class of enzymes leading to: [FeFe]-, [NiFe]-, and [FeS]-cluster-free hydrogenases. They differ in the composition and the structure of the active site metal ce ...
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a major groundwater pollutant as a result of extensive use and spillage since 80 years. Several obligate anaerobic bacteria have the ability of using chlorinated aliphatic compounds as terminal electron acceptor in a process call ...
Chloroethenes, and most particularly tetra- (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are major groundwater pollutants due to their extensive industrial use as solvents since the 1920s. The strong electronegativity of the chlorines renders them very stable under aer ...
Poly(A) polymerase was purified 22,000-fold to homogeneity from a whole cell extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a yield of 22%. The enzyme is a monomeric polypeptide with a denatured molecular weight of 63,000. Incorporation of labeled ATP into acid- ...
TsrE, a 32kDa sulfur-transferase with two rhodanese domains, was identified as a result of its over-expression during anaerobic tetrachloroethene respiration by the obligate gram-positive anaerobe Desulfitobacterium hafniense. The tsrE gene is part of an o ...
The fumarate reductase of Escherichia coli is a bioenergetically important membrane-bound flavoenzyme consisting of four subunits. A and B comprise a membrane-extrinsic catalytic domain whereas C and D are hydrophobic polypeptides which link the catalytic ...
Ampicillin-hyperresistant mutants of Escherichia coli K12 bearing multiple gene duplications in the ampC (beta-lactamase) gene region of the chromosome overproduced at least six proteins with molecular weights 97,000, 80,000, 72,000, 49,000, 33,000 and ...
The terminal electron-transfer enzyme fumarate reductase of Escherichia coli is a complex iron-sulfur flavoenzyme composed of four nonidentical subunits organized into two domains: FrdA and -B (a membrane-extrinsic catalytic domain) and FrdC and -D (a tran ...
Organohalide respiration (OHR) is an anaerobic metabolism by which bacteria conserve energy with the use of halogenated compounds as terminal electron acceptors. Genes involved in OHR are organized in reductive dehalogenase (rdh) gene clusters and can be f ...
Groundwater contamination by organochloric compounds became a major concern for public health during the last century. Chloroethenes, commonly used since the 1920's as degreasing and cleaning agents and as intermediates in chemical synthesis, accumulated i ...
