PII protein is essential for transcriptional regulation of anf gene cluster for iron-only nitrogenase in Rhodopseudomonas palustris

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
In addition to catalyzing the biological nitrogen fixation, iron-only (Fe-only) nitrogenase is also able to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate (HCOO−) and methane (CH4).

Cross-Activation of Two Nitrogenase Gene Clusters by CnfR1 or CnfR2 in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
In Anabaena variabilis, the nif1 genes, which are activated by CnfR1, produce a Mo-nitrogenase that is expressed only in heterocysts. Similarly, the nif2 genes, which are activated by CnfR2, make a Mo-nitrogenase that is expressed only in anaerobic ...

Antenna Modification Leads to Enhanced Nitrogenase Activity in a High Light-Tolerant Cyanobacterium

mBio, 2021
Biological nitrogen fixation is an energy-intensive process that contributes significantly toward supporting life on this planet. Among nitrogen-fixing organisms, cyanobacteria remain unrivaled in their ability to fuel the energetically expensive ...

How Proton Incorporation Reshapes Lattice Dynamics In BaSnO3‐Type Proton Conductors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yttrium‐doped BaSnO3 exhibits isotope‐dependent changes in its low‐energy vibrational density of states upon hydration. Comparison of dry, H2O‐, and D2O‐treated samples re‐veals mass‐dependent phonon renormalization linked to proton dynamics near oxygen va‐cancies, providing experimental insight into hydrogen‐coupled lattice excitations in proton ...

Electron Transfer in Nitrogenase

Chemical Reviews, 2020
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme capable of reducing N2 to NH3. This challenging reaction requires the coordinated transfer of multiple electrons from the reductase, Fe-protein, to the catalytic component, MoFe-protein, in an ATP-dependent fashion. In the last two decades, there have been significant advances in our understanding of how nitrogenase ...

Early nitrogen supplementation stimulates the nodulation and growth of common bean plants inoculated with rhizobium

Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2021
The initial development of common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) relying on symbiotic nitrogen (N) can be limited by delayed active N2 fixation, requiring supplemental N which in turn may inhibit the symbiosis.

Regulation of Three Nitrogenase Gene Clusters in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413

Life, 2014
The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 fixes nitrogen under aerobic conditions in specialized cells called heterocysts that form in response to an environmental deficiency in combined nitrogen.

Assembly of nitrogenase biosynthetic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using polyprotein strategy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Nitrogenase in some bacteria and archaea catalyzes conversion of N2 to ammonia. To reconstitute a nitrogenase biosynthetic pathway in a eukaryotic host is still a challenge, since synthesis of nitrogenase requires a large number of nif (nitrogen fixation)

Current Progress in Nitrogen Fixing Plants and Microbiome Research

Plants, 2020
In agroecosystems, nitrogen is one of the major nutrients limiting plant growth. To meet the increased nitrogen demand in agriculture, synthetic fertilizers have been used extensively in the latter part of the twentieth century, which have led to ...
