Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen detoxification in the strict anaerobic archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus: superoxide scavenging by neelaredoxin.
Isabel A. Abreu,Lígia M. Saraiva,João Carita,Harald Huber,Karl O. Stetter,Diane E. Cabelli,Miguel Teixeira +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that neelaredoxin (Nlr) is the main O2·− scavenger in A. fulgidus and shown that Nlr is able to both reduce and dismutate O 2·−, thus having a bifunctional reactivity towards O2 ·−.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium Is Involved in Regulation of Periplasmic Hydrogenase Gene Expression in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough
Filipa M. A. Valente,Cláudia C. Almeida,Isabel Pacheco,João Carita,Lígia M. Saraiva,Inês A. C. Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: An important contribution to understanding why D. vulgaris Hildenborough has three periplasmic hydrogenases supports their similar physiological role in H2 oxidation and reveals that element availability has a strong influence in their relative expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Di-cluster, seven-iron ferredoxins from hyperthermophilic Sulfolobales
Cláudio M. Gomes,Alice Santiago Faria,João Carita,Joaquim Mendes,Manuela Regalla,Paula Chicau,Harald Huber,Karl O. Stetter,Miguel Teixeira +8 more
TL;DR: Seven-iron ferredoxins from the thermoacidophilic archaea Acidianus ambivalens, A. infernus, Metalosphaera prunae and Sulfolobus metallicus were extensively characterised, allowing study of their expression under aerobic and anaerobic growth conditions as well as the putative role in thermal stability of a recently described zinc centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification, crystallization and phase determination of the DR1998 haem b catalase from Deinococcus radiodurans.
Patrícia T. Borges,Cecília S. Miranda,Sandra P. Santos,João Carita,Carlos Frazão,Célia V. Romão +5 more
TL;DR: The purification and crystallization of the DR1998 catalase from D. radiodurans shows the typical catalases quaternary structure and a preliminary model of the protein structure is built and refinement is currently in progress.
