Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic and Kinetic Studies on Reaction of Cytochrome P450nor with Nitric Oxide IMPLICATION FOR ITS NITRIC OXIDE REDUCTION MECHANISM
Yoshitsugu Shiro,Motoyasu Fujii,Tetsutaro Iizuka,Shin-ichi Adachi,Koki Tsukamoto,Kazuhiko Nakahara,Hirofumi Shoun +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that in the catalytic cycle, decomposition of the intermediate is fairly accelerated by free NO, resulting in such a fast turnover as to justify the proposed mechanism of the NO reduction by P450nor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of nitric oxide reductase from denitrifying fungus Fusarium oxysporum.
Sam-Yong Park,Hideaki Shimizu,Shin-ichi Adachi,Atsushi Nakagawa,Isao Tanaka,Kazuhiko Nakahara,Hirofumi Shoun,Eiji Obayashi,H. Nakamura,Tetsutaro Iizuka,Yoshitsugu Shiro +10 more
TL;DR: Structures of nitric oxide reductase (NOR) in the ferric resting and the ferrous CO states have been solved at 2.0 Å resolution and provide significant new insights into how NO is reduced in biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensory mechanism of oxygen sensor FixL from Rhizobium meliloti: crystallographic, mutagenesis and resonance Raman spectroscopic studies
Hideyuki Miyatake,Masahiro Mukai,Sam-Yong Park,Shin-ichi Adachi,Koji Tamura,Hiro Nakamura,Kayako Nakamura,Terumasa Tsuchiya,Tetsutaro Iizuka,Yoshitsugu Shiro +9 more
TL;DR: In the I209A mutant of RmFixL, the O(2) sensing activity was destroyed, thus confirming the proposed mechanism, and the crystal structure of the sensor domain of FixL, which contains a heme (Fe-porphyrin) as a sensing site, was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature of the iron-ligand bond in ferrous low spin hemoproteins studied by resonance Raman scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Characteristics of Cytochrome P-450--Possible Location of the Heme-Binding Cysteine in Determined Amino-Acid Sequences
TL;DR: Computer-aided analyses were made of the complete amino-acid sequences of two P-450 species, the phenobarbital-inducible major P- 450 of rat liver microsomes (P-450PB) and camphor-hydroxylating P-550 of Pseudomonas putida (P -450cam), and two highly homologous regions were found, HR1 and HR2.
