Abstract excerpt
Endoprotease-specific C-terminal processing is required to complete the maturation of the large subunit of [NiFe]-hydrogenases. This happens only after synthesis and insertion of the NiFe(CN)(2)CO cofactor by the Hyp maturases has occurred. It is assumed that in the absence of maturation the unprocessed species of the large subunit lacks cofactors. In this study we isolated a variant of the hydrogenase 2 large...
