Abstract excerpt
HemAT from Bacillus subtilis is a new type of heme protein responsible for sensing oxygen. The structural and functional properties of the full-length HemAT protein, the sensor domain (1-178), and Tyr-70 mutants have been characterized. Kinetic and equilibrium measurements reveal that both full-length HemAT and the sensor domain show two distinct O(2) binding components. The high-affinity component has a...
