A structural study towards the understanding of the interactions of SoxY, SoxZ, and SoxB, leading to the oxidation of sulfur anions via the novel global sulfur oxidizing (sox) operon.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial redox reactions of inorganic sulfur compounds, mainly the sulfur anions, are one of the vital reactions responsible for the environmental sulfur balance. These reactions are mediated by phylogenetically diverse prokaryotes, which also take part in the extraction of metal ions from their sulfur containing ores. The sulfur oxidizing gene cluster (sox) of alpha-Proteobacteria comprises of at least 16...
