Proteome adaptations of the organohalide-respiring Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain DCB-2 to various energy metabolisms

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Florence Armand, Romain Hamelin, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin

IntroductionDesulfitobacterium hafniense was isolated for its ability to use organohalogens as terminal electron acceptors via organohalide respiration (OHR). In contrast to obligate OHR bacteria, Desulfitobacterium spp. show a highly versatile energy meta ...

The Function of Two Radical-SAM Enzymes, HcgA and HcgG, in the Biosynthesis of the [Fe]-Hydrogenase Cofactor

Xile Hu, Huijie Pan, Yiwei Zheng

In the biosynthesis of the iron-guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, 6-carboxymethyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyridinol (1) is 3-methylated to form 2, then 4-guanylylated to form 3, and converted into the full cofactor. HcgA-G proteins catalyze the biosynthetic ...

Characterization of the electron-accepting part of the organohalide respiration chain of Dehalobacter and Desulfitobacterium

Lorenzo Cimmino

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process that use halogenated compounds, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), as terminal electron acceptors. D. restrictus strain PER-K23, an obligate OHR bacterium (OHRB), and D. hafniense strain TCE1, a ba ...

A catalytically active [Mn]-hydrogenase incorporating a non-native metal cofactor

Matthew Wodrich, Xile Hu, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Huijie Pan

Nature carefully selects specific metal ions for incorporation into the enzymes that catalyse the chemical reactions necessary for life. Hydrogenases, enzymes that activate molecular H-2, exclusively utilize Ni and Fe in [NiFe]-, [FeFe]- and [Fe]-hydrogean ...

The atomic-resolution crystal structure of activated [Fe]-hydrogenase

Matthew Wodrich, Xile Hu

Hydrogenases are promising templates for constructing new H-2-based catalysts. [Fe]-hydrogenase, which features an ironguanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, catalyses a reversible hydride transfer from H-2 to methenyl-tetrahydromethanopterin (methenyl-H4MPT+, ...

Enhancing solar disinfection of water in PET bottles by optimized in-situ formation of iron oxide films. From heterogeneous to homogeneous action modes with H2O2 vs. O-2 - Part 2: Direct use of (natural) iron oxides

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Sakine Shekoohiyan

Solar disinfection (SODIS) is a well-accepted intervention method, leading to an improvement in contaminated water sources. In this work, we attempted to further enhance the bacterial inactivation process during light exposure. By means of iron oxide addit ...

Towards artificial methanogenesis: biosynthesis of the [Fe]-hydrogenase cofactor and characterization of the semisynthetic hydrogenase

Xile Hu, Tao Xu, Lichen Bai

The greenhouse gas and energy carrier methane is produced on Earth mainly by methanogenic archaea. In the hydrogenotrophic methanogenic pathway the reduction of one CO2 to one methane molecule requires four molecules of H-2 containing eight electrons. Four ...

Stereoselective synthesis of alkenes via base-metal-catalyzed addition reactions to alkynes and activation of hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide by iron complexes

Fedor Zhurkin

Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...

Natural inspirations for metal–ligand cooperative catalysis

Matthew Wodrich, Xile Hu

In conventional homogeneous catalysis, supporting ligands act as spectators that do not interact directly with substrates. However, in metal–ligand cooperative catalysis, ligands are involved in facilitating reaction pathways that would be less favourable ...

Identification of HcgC as a SAM-Dependent Pyridinol Methyltransferase in [Fe]-Hydrogenase Cofactor Biosynthesis

Xile Hu, Tao Xu, Lichen Bai

Previous retrosynthetic and isotope-labeling studies have indicated that biosynthesis of the iron guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor of [Fe]-hydrogenase requires a methyltransferase. This hypothetical enzyme covalently attaches the methyl group at the 3-pos ...
