Identification of iron(III) peroxo species in the active site of the superoxide reductase SOR from Desulfoarculus baarsii [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, American Chemical Society, 2002, pp.4966-7, 2015
The active site of superoxide reductase SOR consists of an Fe2+ center in an unusual [His4 Cys1] square-pyramidal geometry. It specifically reduces superoxide to produce H2O2. Here, we have reacted the SOR from Desulfoarculus baarsii directly with H2O2.

Superoxide reductase from Desulfoarculus baarsii: reaction mechanism and role of glutamate 47 and lysine 48 in catalysis [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemistry, American Chemical Society, 2001, pp.5032-40, 2015
Superoxide reductase (SOR) is a small metalloenzyme that catalyzes reduction of O(2)(*)(-) to H(2)O(2) and thus provides an antioxidant mechanism against superoxide radicals. Its active site contains an unusual mononuclear ferrous center, which is very efficient during electron transfer to O(2)(*)(-) [Lombard, M., Fontecave, M., Touati, D., and Nivi ...

Fe(3+)-eta(2)-peroxo species in superoxide reductase from Treponema pallidum. Comparison with Desulfoarculus baarsii [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Chemistry, Elsevier, 2006, pp.38-48, 2015
Superoxide reductases (SORs) are superoxide (O2-)-detoxifying enzymes that catalyse the reduction of O2- into hydrogen peroxide. Three different classes of SOR have been reported on the basis of the presence or not of an additional N-terminal domain. They all share a similar active site, with an unusual non-heme Fe atom coordinated by four equatorial ...

Fe3+-hydroxide ligation in the superoxide reductase from Desulfoarculus baarsii is associated with pH dependent spectral changes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, American Chemical Society, 2005, pp.16436-41, 2014
Superoxide reductase (SOR) catalyzes the reduction of O2*- to H2O2. Its active site consists of a non-heme Fe2+ center in an unusual square-pyramidal [His4 Cys] coordination. Like many SORs, the electronic absorption band corresponding to the oxidized active site of the SOR from Desulfoarculus baarsii exhibits a pH-dependent alkaline transition ...

Evolutionary dynamics determines adaptation to inactivation of an essential gene [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Genetic inactivation of essential genes creates an evolutionary scenario distinct from escape from drug inhibition, but the mechanisms of microbe adaptations in such cases remain unknown. Here we inactivate E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) by introducing D27G,N,F chromosomal mutations in a key catalytic residue with subsequent adaptation by ...
