Sulfite Reductase of Escherichia coli Is a Ferrisiderophore Reductase

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1993
A soluble ferrisiderophore reductase activity of Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity and identified as the sulfite reductase. The pure enzyme catalyzes the reduction of ferric citrate, ferriaerobactin, ferrioxamin, ferricrocin, ferrichrome and ferrifusarinin by NADPH. Free flavins, riboflavin, FMN, FAD were absolutely required, suggesting that

Domain crossover in the reductase subunit of NADPH-dependent assimilatory sulfite reductase

Journal of Structural Biology, 2023
NADPH-dependent assimilatory sulfite reductase (SiR) from Escherichia coli performs a six-electron reduction of sulfite to the bioavailable sulfide. SiR is composed of a flavoprotein (SiRFP) reductase subunit and a hemoprotein (SiRHP) oxidase subunit. There is no known high-resolution structure of SiR or SiRFP, thus we do not yet fully understand how ...

Studies on yeast sulfite reductase II. Partial purification and properties of genetically incomplete sulfite reductases

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1968
Abstract Enzymes catalyzing the reduction of sulfite by reduced methyl viologen (MVH) were partially purified from four mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strains 6, 11, 20 and 21, which are genetically blocked in the sulfite reduction step in the sulfate assimilation pathway.

The NADPH: Sulfite Reductase of Escherichia coli is a Paraquat Reductase

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1994
The NADPH:sulfite reductase of Escherichia coli is a soluble enzyme that has a subunit structure α8β4, where the α subunit is a flavoprotein and the β subunit is a metalloprotein. Overexpression of the holoenzyme in E. coli has greatly simplified the purification of this enzyme.

Domain Evolution and Functional Diversification of Sulfite Reductases

Astrobiology, 2005
Sulfite reductases are key enzymes of assimilatory and dissimilatory sulfur metabolism, which occur in diverse bacterial and archaeal lineages. They share a highly conserved domain "C-X5-C-n-C-X3-C" for binding siroheme and iron-sulfur clusters that facilitate electron transfer to the substrate.

The relationship between structure and function for the sulfite reductases

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1996
The six-electron reductions of sulfite to sulfide and nitrite to ammonia, fundamental to early and contemporary life, are catalyzed by diverse sulfite and nitrite reductases that share an unusual prosthetic assembly in their active centers, namely siroheme covalently linked to an Fe4S4 cluster.

Roles of sulfite oxidoreductase and sulfite reductase in improving desulfurization by Rhodococcus erythropolis

Molecular BioSystems, 2012
Abstract Rhodococcus erythropolis has been widely studied for desulfurization. However, activity levels required for commercial application have not been achieved. A major limitation of the current work in biodesulfurization is inadequate information regarding sulfur metabolism generally, and in particular the metabolism of the sulfur

The third subunit of desulfoviridin‐type dissimilatory sulfite reductases

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1992
In addition to the 50‐kDa (α) and 40‐kDa (β) subunits, an 11‐kDa polypeptide has been discovered in highly purified Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) dissimilatory sulfite reductase. This is in contrast with the hitherto generally accepted α2β2 tetrameric subunit composition. Purification, high‐ionic‐strength gel‐filtration, native electrophoresis
