Journal ArticleDOI
Molybdopterin in carbon monoxide oxidase from carboxydotrophic bacteria.
Ortwin Meyer,K.V. Rajagopalan +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of a trichloroacetic acid-releasable, so-far-unidentified, phosphorous-containing moiety in COX is suggested by the results of phosphate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and physiological evidence for a rhesus-type ammonia transporter in Nitrosomonas europaea.
TL;DR: The results suggest that Rh1 equilibrates the uncharged substrate species during ammonia oxidation, which seems to be responsible for the ammonium accumulation functioning as an acid NH(4) (+) trap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide in Cell Extracts of Pseudomonas carboxydovorans
Ortwin Meyer,Hans G. Schlegel +1 more
TL;DR: Neither free formate nor hydrogen gas is an intermediate of the CO oxidation reaction, and this conclusion is based on the differential sensitivity of the activities of formate dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, and CO dehydrogen enzyme to heat, hypophosphite, chlorate, cyanide, azide, and fluoride as well as on the failure to trapfree formate or hydrogen gas in coupled optical assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binding of flavin adenine dinucleotide to molybdenum-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Oligotropha carboxidovorans. Structural and functional analysis of a carbon monoxide dehydrogenase species in which the native flavoprotein has been replaced by its recombinant counterpart produced in Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The structure of the resulting flavo (LMS)2 species at a 2.8-Å resolution established the same fold and binding of the flavoprotein as in wild-type CO dehydrogenase, whereas theS-selanylcysteine 388 in the active-site loop on the molybdoprotein was disordered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Carboxydobacteria in Consumption of Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide by Soil
TL;DR: CO consumption observed in natural soil as well as in suspensions or soil mixtures of carboxydobacteria showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, suggesting that carboxYDobacteria cannot contribute significantly to the consumption of atmospheric CO.
