Disease relevance of PF1909

  • The gene for ferredoxin from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli [1].
  • Sequence, assembly and evolution of a primordial ferredoxin from Thermotoga maritima [2].
  • In the present study, protein film voltammetry has been used to induce and monitor the oxidative conversion of [4Fe-4S] into [3Fe-4S] clusters in different variants of Azotobacter vinelandii ferredoxin I (AvFdI; the 8Fe form of the native protein), and DeltaThr(14)/DeltaAsp(15), Thr(14)-->Cys (T14C) and C42D mutants [3].
  • The reduced ferredoxin also functioned as an electron donor for H2 evolution catalyzed by the hydrogenase of the mesophilic eubacterium Clostridium pasteurianum [4].
 

High impact information on PF1909

 

Chemical compound and disease context of PF1909

  • T. maritima ferredoxin expressed in E. coli is a heat-stable, monomeric protein, the spectroscopic properties of which show that its 4Fe-4S cluster is correctly assembled within the mesophilic host, and that it remains stable during purification under aerobic conditions [2].
 

Biological context of PF1909

 

Anatomical context of PF1909

  • Neither highly washed membranes nor the purified enzyme used NAD(P)(H) or P. furiosus ferredoxin as an electron carrier, nor did either catalyze the reduction of elemental sulfur with H(2) as the electron donor [12].
 

Associations of PF1909 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of PF1909

  • P. furiosus rubredoxin (K(m) = 1.6 microM) also functioned as an electron acceptor for SuDH, and SuDH catalyzed the reduction of NADP with reduced P. furiosus ferredoxin (K(m) = 0.7 microM) as an electron donor [16].
