Desulfovibrio Gigas Hydrogenase: Redox Properties of the Nickel and Iron‐Sulfur Centers

Abstract: Below 30 K, oxidized Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase presents an intense electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal centered at g=2.02, typical of an iron-sulfur center. In addition a rhombic EPR signal, attributed to Ni(1II) species, is also observed [LeGall, J., Ljungdahl, P., Moura, I., Peck, H. D., Jr, Xavier, A. V., Moura, J. J. G., Teixeira, M., Huynh, B. H., and DerVartanian, D. V. (1982) Biochem. Biop!?j>s. Rcs. Commun. 106,[610][611][612][613][614][615][616] and Cammack, R., Patil, D., Aguirre, R.… Show more

“…They also catalyze hydrogen-isotope exchange between H2 and H20. The hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio gigas contains a nickel centre [1,2], and in addition, one [3Fe-4S] cluster and two [4Fe-4S] clusters per molecule [3]. Abbreviations: ESEEM, electron spin echo envelope modulation; EPR, electron paramagnetic resonance; shf, superhyperfine; nqi, nuclear quadrupolar interaction EPR signals dependent upon the redox state of the protein.…”

“…The oxidized enzyme, as isolated, is in an 'unready state', and is unreactive towards H2 [4]. It is EPR active, having a signal arising from nickel, designated as Ni-A (g = 2.32, 2.23, 2.01) [5]. After prolonged reductive activation, the EPR spectrum changes and gives the Ni-C signal (g = 2.19, 2.16, 2.01) [6].…”

“…The well-studied enzyme from Desulfovibrio gigas (Fernandez et al, 1986;Teixeira et al, 1989) belongs to this category. Although the amino acid sequence of the Chromatium vinosum enzyme is not yet known, its properties are very similar to those of the D. gigas' enzyme.…”

“…Redox titrations of nickel hydrogenases in the presence of mediating dyes have made it clear that in enzymes from a variety of sources [D. gigas (Teixeira et al, 1983(Teixeira et al, , 1989, C. vinosum (Coremans et al, 1992a,b) and Desulfovibrio vulgaris, strain Miyazaki (Asso et al, 1992)] at least four different redox states with respect to the EPR properties of nickel can be observed. In both the inactive forms of hydrogenase from C. vinosum, Ni,(III) and Niu(III), a n = 1 transition, as evidenced by the disappearance of the S = '/z EPR signals associated with the Ni, could be observed in the presence of mediating dyes at pH = 8 and 30 OC at exactly the same midpoint potential (Eo' = -1 15 mV) (Coremans et al, 1992a).…”
