TLDR
Two monofunctional NiFeS carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenases, designated CODH I andCODH II, were purified to homogeneity from the anaerobic CO-utilizing eubacterium Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans and it is proposed that CODh I is involved in energy generation and that C ODH II serves in anabolic functions.Abstract:
Two monofunctional NiFeS carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenases, designated CODH I and CODH II, were purified to homogeneity from the anaerobic CO-utilizing eubacterium Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans. Both enzymes differ in their subunit molecular masses, N-terminal sequences, peptide maps, and immunological reactivities. Immunogold labeling of ultrathin sections revealed both CODHs in association with the inner aspect of the cytoplasmic membrane. Both enzymes catalyze the reaction CO + H(2)O --> CO(2) + 2 e(-) + 2 H(+). Oxidized viologen dyes are effective electron acceptors. The specific enzyme activities were 15,756 (CODH I) and 13,828 (CODH II) micromol of CO oxidized min(-1) mg(-1) of protein (methyl viologen, pH 8.0, 70 degrees C). The two enzymes oxidize CO very efficiently, as indicated by k(cat)/K(m) values at 70 degrees C of 1.3. 10(9) M(-1) CO s(-1) (CODH I) and 1.7. 10(9) M(-1) CO s(-1) (CODH II). The apparent K(m) values at pH 8.0 and 70 degrees C are 30 and 18 microM CO for CODH I and CODH II, respectively. Acetyl coenzyme A synthase activity is not associated with the enzymes. CODH I (125 kDa, 62.5-kDa subunit) and CODH II (129 kDa, 64.5-kDa subunit) are homodimers containing 1.3 to 1.4 and 1.7 atoms of Ni, 20 to 22 and 20 to 24 atoms of Fe, and 22 and 19 atoms of acid-labile sulfur, respectively. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy revealed signals indicative of [4Fe-4S] clusters. Ni was EPR silent under any conditions tested. It is proposed that CODH I is involved in energy generation and that CODH II serves in anabolic functions.read more

TL;DR: Providing a future energy supply that is secure and CO_2-neutral will require switching to nonfossil energy sources such as wind, solar, nuclear, and geothermal energy and developing methods for transforming the energy produced by these new sources into forms that can be stored, transported, and used upon demand.

TL;DR: The structures define the mechanism of CO oxidation and CO2 reduction at the Ni-Fe site of cluster C, where CO2 acts as a bridging ligand between Ni and the asymmetrically coordinated Fe, where it completes the square-planar coordination of the Ni ion.
