We have isolated a soluble cytochrome from Shewanella oneidensis that contains eight covalently attached heme groups and determined its crystal structure. One of these hemes exhibits novel ligation of the iron atom by the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue, despite its attachment via a typical CXXCH motif. This heme is most likely the active site for tetrathionate reduction, a reaction catalyzed efficiently by this enzyme.
我们从奥奈达希瓦氏菌中分离出一种可溶性细胞色素,它含有八个共价连接的血红素基团,并确定了其晶体结构。其中一个血红素尽管通过典型的CXXCH基序连接,但铁原子却通过赖氨酸残基的ε-氨基进行了新颖的配位。这个血红素很可能是连四硫酸盐还原反应的活性位点,该反应由这种酶高效催化。
