SULFUR OXYGENASE REDUCTASE FROM ACIDIANUS AMBIVALENS
Overview
Numerous microorganisms oxidize sulfur for energy conservation and, contribute to the global biogeochemical sulfur cycle. We have determined, the 1.7 angstrom-resolution structure of the sulfur oxygenase reductase, from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Acidianus ambivalens, which catalyzes, an oxygen-dependent disproportionation of elemental sulfur. Twenty-four, monomers form a large hollow sphere enclosing a positively charged, nanocompartment. Apolar channels provide access for linear sulfur species., A cysteine persulfide and a low-potential mononuclear non-heme iron site, ligated by a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad in a pocket of each subunit, constitute the active sites, accessible from the inside of the sphere. The, iron is likely the site of both sulfur oxidation and sulfur reduction.
About this Structure
