The hndABCD operon from Desulfovibrio fructosovorans encodes an uncommon heterotetrameric NADP-reducing iron hydrogenase. The presence of a [2Fe-2S] cluster likely located in the C-terminal region of the HndA subunit has already been revealed. We have cloned and expressed the truncated hndA gene in Escherichia coli to isolate the structural [2Fe-2S] module. Optical and EPR spectra are found identical to that of the native HndA subunit and the midpoint redox potential (-385 mV) is similar to that of the native protein (-395 mV). These results clearly demonstrate that the C-terminal region of HndA is a structurally independent [2Fe2S] ferredoxin-like domain. In the same way, the N-terminal domain of the HndD subunit was overproduced in E. coli and characterized. The presence of a [2Fe-2S] cluster was evidenced by optical spectroscopy. The midpoint redox potential (-380 mV) of this domain was found very close to that of the truncated HndA subunit but the EPR properties were significantly different. The various EPR properties allowed us to observe an electron exchange between the two [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin-like domains of the HndA and HndD subunits. Moreover, domain-domain interactions, observed by far-western experiments, indicate that these subunits are direct partners in the native complex.

D009876 Operon In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION. Operons
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase

D003901 Desulfovibrio A genus of gram-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria capable of reducing sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide. Organisms are isolated from anaerobic mud of fresh and salt water, animal intestines, manure, and feces.
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
