| Abstract | The consecutive structural genes for the iron-sulfur flavoenzyme sulfide dehydrogenase, sudB and sudA, have been identified in the genome of Pyrococcus furiosus. The translated sequences encode a heterodimeric protein with an α-subunit, SudA, of 52598 Da and a β-subunit, SudB, of 30686 Da. The α-subunit carries a FAD, a putative nucleotide binding site for NADPH, and a [2Fe-2S]2+,+ prosthetic group. The latter exhibit EPR g-values, 2.035, 1.908, 1.786, and reduction potential, E m,8=+80 mV, reminiscent of Rieske-type clusters; however, comparative sequence analysis indicates that this cluster is coordinated by a novel motif of one Asp and three Cys ligands. The motif is not only found in the genome of hyperthermophilic archaea and hyperthermophilic bacteria, but also in that of mesophilic Treponema pallidum. The β-subunit of sulfide dehydrogenase contains another FAD, another putative binding site for NADPH, a [3Fe-4S]+,0 cluster, and a [4Fe-4S]2+,+ cluster. The 3Fe cluster has an unusually high reduction potential, E m,8=+230 mV. The reduced 4Fe cluster exhibits a complex EPR signal, presumably resulting from magnetic interaction of its S=1/2 spin with the S=2 spin of the reduced 3Fe cluster. The 4Fe cluster can be reduced with deazaflavin/EDTA/light but not with sodium dithionite; however, it is readily reduced with NADPH. SudA is highly homologous to KOD1-GOGAT (or KOD1-GltA), a single-gene encoded protein in Pyrococcus kodakaraensis, which has been putatively identified as hyperthermophilic glutamate synthase. However, P. furiosus sulfide dehydrogenase does not have glutamate synthase activity. SudB is highly homologous to HydG, the γ-subunit of P. furiosus NiFe hydrogenase. The latter enzyme also has sulfide dehydrogenase activity. The P. furiosus genome contains a second set of consecutive genes, sudY and sudX, with very high homology to the sudB and sudA genes, and possibly encoding a sulfide dehydrogenase isoenzyme. Each subunit of sulfide dehydrogenase is a primary structural paradigm for a different class of iron-sulfur flavoproteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
