Biochemistry - 6 Aug 1996
Maier T, Böck A
Abstract excerpt
The maturation process of [NiFe] hydrogenases includes formation of the nickel metallocenter, proteolytic processing of the large subunit, and assembly with the other hydrogenase subunit(s). An in vitro system for the maturation of the large subunit (HycE) of hydrogenase 3 of Escherichia coli leading to an active enzyme was established. The system is based on extracts of an E. coli mutant lacking the...
