Abstract

Of the eight known nickel enzymes, all but glyoxylase I catalyze the use and/or production of gases central to the global carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen cycles. Nickel appears to have been selected for its plasticity in coordination and redox chemistry and is able to cycle through three redox states (1+, 2+, 3+) and to catalyze reactions spanning approximately 1.5 V. This minireview focuses on the catalytic mechanisms of nickel enzymes, with an emphasis on the role(s) of the metal center. The metal centers vary from mononuclear to complex metal clusters and catalyze simple hydrolytic to multistep redox reactions.

  • Enzymes of core carbon and energy pathways in modern anaerobic autotrophs are replete with FeS, FeNiS and MoS (WS) centres.

    “This is an important similarity to modern anaerobic autotrophs, whose enzymes of core carbon and energy pathways are replete with FeS, FeNiS and MoS (WS) centres, FeS and NiS usually being incorporated into proteins via cysteine residues [54–58], Mo and W usually being complexed by thiols of the molybdopterin cofactor MoCo [59].”

    The NiFe Hydrogenase and CO Dehydrogenase sections describe Fe-S clusters and nickel–iron centres in enzymes involved in anaerobic energy and carbon metabolism. They do not establish that such centres are widespread across modern anaerobic autotrophs, or address the claimed MoS (WS) centres. The supplied passages have no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • In the enzymatic mechanism, electrons from a low-potential Fd reduce one molecule of CO2 to CO at the C cluster; the CO migrates to the A cluster, binds Ni at the Nip site; a methyl group from CoFeSP binds the same Ni atom; the carbonyl inserts to generate a Ni-bound acetyl group, which is removed via thiolysis by CoASH.

    “In the enzymatic mechanism [56], electrons from a low-potential Fd are used by the enzyme to reduce one molecule of CO2 to CO at an FeNiS cluster called the C cluster; that CO migrates to a second FeNiS cluster in the enzyme (the A cluster), where it binds one of two Ni atoms at the Nip site to form a Ni-bound carbonyl group, where the two-electron donating property of Ni is important in the”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
