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 ... [(full description)]
