Biodiversity of uptake hydrogenase systems from legume endosymbiotic bacteria (2005)

Brito, B., Baginsky, Cecilia, Palacios, J. M., Cabrera, E., Ruiz-Argüeso, T., Imperial, J.

Uptake hydrogenases in legume endosymbiotic bacteria recycle hydrogen produced during the nitrogen fixation process in legume nodules. Despite the described beneficial effect on plant productivity,...

Gutiérrez, D, Hernando, Y, Palacios, J M, Imperial, J, Ruiz-Argüeso, T

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae UPM791 contains a second copy of the fnrN gene, which encodes a redox-sensitive transcriptional activator functionally homologous to Escherichia coli Fnr. This...

Nickel availability to pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants limits hydrogenase activity of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae bacteroids by affecting the processing of the hydrogenase structural subunits.

Brito, B, Palacios, J M, Hidalgo, E, Imperial, J, Ruiz-Argüeso, T

Purification of Rhizobium leguminosarum HypB, a nickel-binding protein required for hydrogenase synthesis.

Rey, L, Imperial, J, Palacios, J M, Ruiz-Argüeso, T

The products of the Rhizobium leguminosarum hyp gene cluster are necessary for synthesis of a functional uptake [NiFe] hydrogenase system in symbiosis with pea plants, and at least for HypB and HypF,...

Expression of the nifBfdxNnifOQ region of Azotobacter vinelandii and its role in nitrogenase activity.

Rodríguez-Quiñones, F, Bosch, R, Imperial, J

The nifBQ transcriptional unit of Azotobacter vinelandii has been previously shown to be required for activity of the three nitrogenase systems, Mo nitrogenase, V nitrogenase, and Fe nitrogenase,...

Homocitrate cures the NifV- phenotype in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Hoover, T R, Imperial, J, Ludden, P W, Shah, V K

Dinitrogenase was isolated from a culture of a Klebsiella pneumoniae NifV- strain derepressed for nitrogenase in the presence of homocitrate. The enzyme isolated from this culture was identical to...

Iron-molybdenum cofactor synthesis in Azotobacter vinelandii Nif- mutants.

Imperial, J, Shah, V K, Ugalde, R A, Ludden, P W, Brill, W J

Nif- mutants of Azotobacter vinelandii defective in dinitrogenase activity synthesized iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) and accumulated it in two protein-bound forms: inactive dinitrogenase and a...

Role of the nifQ gene product in the incorporation of molybdenum into nitrogenase in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Imperial, J, Ugalde, R A, Shah, V K, Brill, W J

NifQ- mutants of Klebsiella pneumoniae are defective in nitrogen fixation due to an elevated requirement for molybdenum. When millimolar concentrations of molybdate were added to the medium, the...

Biosynthesis of iron-molybdenum cofactor in the absence of nitrogenase.

Ugalde, R A, Imperial, J, Shah, V K, Brill, W J

Klebsiella pneumoniae accumulates molybdenum during nitrogenase derepression. The molybdenum is primarily in nitrogenase component I in the form of iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co). Mutations in...

Biosynthesis of the iron-molybdenum cofactor and the molybdenum cofactor in Klebsiella pneumoniae: effect of sulfur source.

Ugalde, R A, Imperial, J, Shah, V K, Brill, W J

NifQ- and Mol- mutants of Klebsiella pneumoniae show an elevated molybdenum requirement for nitrogen fixation. Substitution of cystine for sulfate as the sulfur source in the medium reduced the...
