A nonmitochondrial hydrogen production in Naegleria gruberi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Naegleria gruberi is a free-living heterotrophic aerobic amoeba well known for its ability to transform from an amoeba to a flagellate form. The genome of N.

A Non‐Covalent [4Fe–4S]/[2Fe] Interface in HydF Guides [FeFe]‐Hydrogenase Maturation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Bridged or not? 57Fe NRVS reveals a non‐covalent, electronically coupled interaction between the HydF [4Fe–4S] cluster and the [2Fe] precursor. Boltz‐2 structure predictions suggest that the cubane organizes lipoate‐dependent Hmet chemistry, positioning intermediates for assembly of the CH2–NH–CH2 bridge during H‐cluster biosynthesis.

Direct Observation of an Iron-Bound Terminal Hydride in [FeFe]-Hydrogenase by Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2017
[FeFe]-hydrogenases catalyze the reversible reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen with extremely high efficiency. The active site (“H-cluster”) consists of a [4Fe–4S]H cluster linked through a bridging cysteine to a [2Fe]H subsite coordinated by CN−

New perspectives in hydrogenase direct electrochemistry

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceElectrochemical studies of hydrogenases, the biological catalysts of H 2 oxidation and production, have proven wrong the old saying that enzymes do not easily transfer electrons to electrodes in the absence of mediators.

Dual Activation of H2 and CO2 by a Pincer‐Type Ni–Zn Heterobimetallic Complex

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A bimetallic Ni−Zn complex performs sequential activations of H2 (1 equiv) and CO2 (2 equiv). This bimetallic cooperativity is attributed to the weak Lewis acidic nature of Zn(II), which promotes fluxional ligand binding. Namely, an X‐type ligand at Ni, where X is hydride or formate, toggles between two different binding modes: bridging Zn(μ‐X)Ni and ...

Diversity and transcription of proteases involved in the maturation of hydrogenases in Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 and Nostoc sp. strain PCC 7120

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2009
Background The last step in the maturation process of the large subunit of [NiFe]-hydrogenases is a proteolytic cleavage of the C-terminal by a hydrogenase specific protease.

A catalytically active [Mn]-hydrogenase incorporating a non-native metal cofactor

open access: yesNature Chemistry, 2019
Nature carefully selects specific metal ions for incorporation into the enzymes that catalyse the chemical reactions necessary for life. Hydrogenases, enzymes that activate molecular H2, exclusively utilize Ni and Fe in [NiFe]-, [FeFe]- and [Fe ...

Hydrogen-Cycling during Solventogenesis in Clostridium acetobutylicum American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 824 Requires the [NiFe]-Hydrogenase for Energy Conservation

open access: yesFermentation, 2018
Clostridium acetobutylicum has traditionally been used for production of acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE). Butanol is a commodity chemical due in part to its suitability as a biofuel; however, the current yield of this product from biological systems ...

The crystalline state as a dynamic system: IR microspectroscopy under electrochemical control for a [NiFe] hydrogenase

open access: yes, 2021
Controlled formation of catalytically-relevant states within crystals of complex metalloenzymes represents a significant challenge to structure-function studies. Here we show how electrochemical control over single crystals of [NiFe] hydrogenase 1 (Hyd1)

The [FeFe] hydrogenase of Nyctotherus ovalis has a chimeric origin

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background The hydrogenosomes of the anaerobic ciliate Nyctotherus ovalis show how mitochondria can evolve into hydrogenosomes because they possess a mitochondrial genome and parts of an electron-transport chain on the one hand, and a hydrogenase on the ...
