CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF RUBREDOXIN REDUCTASE FROM PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA.

Overview

Crude oil spills represent a major ecological threat because of the, chemical inertness of the constituent n-alkanes. The Gram-negative, bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the few bacterial species able, to metabolize such compounds. Three chromosomal genes, rubB, rubA1, and, rubA2 coding for an NAD(P)H:rubredoxin reductase (RdxR) and two, rubredoxins (Rdxs) are indispensable for this ability. They constitute an, electron transport (ET) pathway that shuttles reducing equivalents from, carbon metabolism to the membrane-bound alkane hydroxylases AlkB1 and, AlkB2. The RdxR-Rdx system also is crucial as part of the oxidative stress, response in archaea or anaerobic bacteria. The redox couple has been, analyzed in detail as a model system for ET processes. We have solved the, structure ... [(full description)]
