C-terminal cysteines of Tn501 mercuric ion reductase.

Biochemistry - 18 Feb 1992

Moore M J, Miller S M, Walsh C T

Abstract excerpt

Mercuric ion reductase (MerA) catalyzes the reduction of Hg(II) to Hg(0) as the last step in the bacterial mercury detoxification pathway. A member of the flavin disulfide oxidoreductase family, MerA contains an FAD prosthetic group and redox-active disulfide in its active site. However, the presence of these two moieties is not sufficient for catalytic Hg(II) reduction, as other enzyme family members are...
