Characterization of an M-Cluster-Substituted Nitrogenase VFe Protein
mBio, 2018 The Mo- and V-nitrogenases are two homologous members of the nitrogenase family that are distinguished mainly by the presence of different heterometals (Mo or V) at their respective cofactor sites (M- or V-cluster).

Nitrogenase beyond the Resting State: A Structural Perspective
Molecules, 2023 Nitrogenases have the remarkable ability to catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia under physiological conditions. How does this happen? The current view of the nitrogenase mechanism focuses on the role of hydrides, the binding of dinitrogen in ...

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

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Fast and reliable industrial production of ammonia (NH3) is fundamentally sustaining modern society. Since the early 20th Century, NH3 has been synthesized via the Haber–Bosch process, running at conditions of around 350–500°C and 100–200 times ...

, 2023 The Trichodesmium genus comprises some of the most abundant N2-fixing organisms in oligotrophic marine ecosystems. Since nitrogenase, the key enzyme for N2 fixation, is irreversibly inhibited upon O2 exposure, these organisms have to coordinate their N2 ...

The Proteogenome of Symbiotic Frankia alni in Alnus glutinosa Nodules
Microorganisms, 2022 Omics are the most promising approaches to investigate microbes for which no genetic tools exist such as the nitrogen-fixing symbiotic Frankia. A proteogenomic analysis of symbiotic Frankia alni was done by comparing those proteins more and less abundant

Energy Transduction in Nitrogenase [PDF]
Accounts of Chemical Research, 2018 Nitrogenase is a complicated two-component enzyme system that uses ATP binding and hydrolysis energy to achieve one of the most difficult chemical reactions in nature, the reduction of N2 to NH3. One component of the Mo-based nitrogenase system, Fe protein, delivers electrons one at a time to the second component, the catalytic MoFe protein.

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 ...
