A novel A3 group aconitase tolerates oxidation and nitric oxide.

Abstract excerpt

Achromobacter denitrificans YD35 is an NO2 (-)-tolerant bacterium that expresses the aconitase genes acnA3, acnA4, and acnB, of which acnA3 is essential for growth tolerance against 100 mm NO2 (-). Atmospheric oxygen inactivated AcnA3 at a rate of 1.6 × 10(-3) min(-1), which was 2.7- and 37-fold lower compared with AcnA4 and AcnB, respectively. Stoichiometric titration showed that the [4Fe-4S](2+) cluster of...
