Heterotrophic sulfur reduction by Thermotoga sp. strain FjSS3.B1.

Thermotoga sp. strain FjSS3.B1 was able to reduce sulfur to sulfide when grown on a mineral medium with glucose as the sole carbon and energy source. There was no increase in specific growth yield coupled to sulfur reduction, but the specific growth rate, final growth yield, and tolerance of H2 were all increased in the presence of sulfur. At dissolved H2 concentrations, of 550 to 600 mumol/l (at 77 degrees C) growth was not possible unless sulfur was added. Glucose was fermented via the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway to lactate, acetate, H2 and CO2 (and other unidentified minor products). The thermodynamic problems associated with the relatively high redox potential electrons from the 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate/glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate couple (E'0 = -350 mV) are overcome by reducing sulfur to sulfide (E'0 = -270 mV) rather than the energetically unfavourable production of H2 (E'0 = -414 mV). Under high hydrogen partial pressures there was increased production of lactate as an alternative electron sink. The results indicate that sulfur reduction operates primarily as an electron sink rather than as a detoxification reaction or energy-generating mechanism.

On the activation-inactivation coupling in Shaker potassium channels.

The 'ball-and-chain' model suggests the existence of a negative site which may attract the positively charged inactivation ball to occlude the pore when the channel is in the open state. For Shaker K+ channels, we propose that the state-dependent negative site be tryptophan-435, which becomes negatively charged after receiving an electron from tyrosine-445. The kinetic scheme for the channel's activation-inactivation coupling as derived from the YW-gated model resembles a successful 'scheme 8' proposed by Zagotta and Aldrich. Our model suggests that the final rapid voltage-independent transition to the open state is due to the deprotonation of tyrosine-445.

Engineering protein structure for electron transfer function in photosynthetic reaction centers.

A basic relationship is defined that incorporates the three parameters that effectively modulate the rate of intraprotein electron transfer, namely distance, free energy and reorganization energy. This empirically validated relationship is used to explore the minimal requirements for protein-catalyzed conversion of excited electronic states into stable charge separated states, the essence of photosynthesis.
