Abstract excerpt
The CO-responsive transcriptional regulator RcoM from Burkholderia xenovorans (BxRcoM) was recently identified as a Cys(thiolate)-ligated heme protein that undergoes a redox-mediated ligand switch; however, the Cys bound to the Fe(III) heme was not identified. To that end, we generated and purified three Cys-to-Ser variants of BxRcoM-2--C94S, C127S, and C130S--and examined their spectroscopic properties in order...
