Abstract

Moorella thermoacetica was long the only model organism used to study the biochemistry of acetogenesis from CO(2). Depending on the growth substrate, this Gram-positive bacterium can either form H(2) or consume it. Despite the importance of H(2) in its metabolism, a hydrogenase from the organism has not yet been characterized. We report here the purification and properties of an electron-bifurcating [FeFe]-hydrogenase from M. thermoacetica and show that the cytoplasmic enzyme efficiently catalyzes both H(2) formation and H(2) uptake. The purified heterotrimeric iron-sulfur flavoprotein (HydABC) catalyzed the coupled reduction of ferredoxin (Fd) and NAD(+) with H(2) at 55 °C at pH 7.5 at a specific rate of about 100 μmol min(-1) mg protein(-1) and the reverse reaction, the coupled reduction of protons to H(2) with reduced ferredoxin and NADH, at a specific rate of about 10 μmol min(-1) mg protein(-1) in the stoichiometry Fd(ox) + NAD(+) + 2H(2) Fd(red)(2-) + NADH + 3H(+). When ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum, NAD(+), and the enzyme were incubated at pH 7.0 under 100% H(2) in the gas phase (E(0)' = -414 mV), more than 95% of the ferredoxin (E(0)' = -400 mV) was reduced, which indicated that ferredoxin reduction with H(2) is driven by the exergonic reduction of NAD(+) (E(0)' = -320 mV) with H(2). In the absence of NAD(+), ferredoxin was not reduced. We identified the genes encoding HydABC within the transcriptional unit hydCBAX and mapped the transcription start site.

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.
