Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthesis of the iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenase.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intensive effort has been made to purify the proteins involved in FeMo-co synthesis and incorporation into nitrogenase, and this effort is starting to provide insights into the structures of the FeMoco biosynthetic intermediates and into the biochemical details of FeMoCo synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome Sequence of Azotobacter vinelandii, an Obligate Aerobe Specialized To Support Diverse Anaerobic Metabolic Processes

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of A. vinelandii DJ is reported, which identified the chromosomal locations of the genes coding for the three known oxygen-sensitive nitrogenases, as well as genes codes for other oxygen- sensitive enzymes, such as carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogen enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photosynthetic nitrate assimilation in cyanobacteria.

TL;DR: Despite significant advance in understanding the regulation of nitrate assimilation in cyanobacteria, further post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms are likely to be discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maturation of Nitrogenase: a Biochemical Puzzle

TL;DR: The nitrogenase enzyme catalyzes the reductive breakage of the very strong triple bond of N2 to generate NH3 in a process known as biological nitrogen fixation, and it is a major contributor to the nitrogen cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthesis of Nitrogenase Cofactors

TL;DR: This review provides a critical overview of discoveries on nitrogenase cofactor structure, function, and activity over the last four decades.
