The electron transport chain of Rhizobium trifolii. 1980

J A de Hollander, and A H Stouthamer

The presence of a branched respiratory chain in Rhizobium trifolii grown in batch culture on a defined medium was demonstrated. The branches of the respiratory chain differ in sensitivity to inhibition by cyanide and in affinity for oxygen. The branching point is localized at cytochrome b-555. Electron flow from cytochrome b-555 via cytochrome c-549 and cytochrome a-597 towards oxygen has a relatively low affinity for oxygen and is sensitive to inhibition by cyanide. The second terminal oxidase is cytochrome b-561, which is directly linked to cytochrome b-555. This pathway has a higher affinity for oxygen. The pathway via cytochrome a-597 is more efficient in energy conservation than the pathway via cytochrome b-561, which lacks site III of oxidative phosphorylation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009243	NAD	A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D010085	Oxidative Phosphorylation	Electron transfer through the cytochrome system liberating free energy which is transformed into high-energy phosphate bonds.	Phosphorylation, Oxidative,Oxidative Phosphorylations,Phosphorylations, Oxidative
D010101	Oxygen Consumption	The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346)	Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D003486	Cyanides	Inorganic salts of HYDROGEN CYANIDE containing the -CN radical. The concept also includes isocyanides. It is distinguished from NITRILES, which denotes organic compounds containing the -CN radical.	Cyanide,Isocyanide,Isocyanides
D003580	Cytochromes	Hemeproteins whose characteristic mode of action involves transfer of reducing equivalents which are associated with a reversible change in oxidation state of the prosthetic group. Formally, this redox change involves a single-electron, reversible equilibrium between the Fe(II) and Fe(III) states of the central iron atom (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539). The various cytochrome subclasses are organized by the type of HEME and by the wavelength range of their reduced alpha-absorption bands.	Cytochrome
D004579	Electron Transport	The process by which ELECTRONS are transported from a reduced substrate to molecular OXYGEN. (From Bennington, Saunders Dictionary and Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984, p270)	Respiratory Chain,Chain, Respiratory,Chains, Respiratory,Respiratory Chains,Transport, Electron
D006863	Hydrogen-Ion Concentration	The normality of a solution with respect to HYDROGEN ions; H+. It is related to acidity measurements in most cases by pH	pH,Concentration, Hydrogen-Ion,Concentrations, Hydrogen-Ion,Hydrogen Ion Concentration,Hydrogen-Ion Concentrations
D000968	Antimycin A	An antibiotic substance produced by Streptomyces species. It inhibits mitochondrial respiration and may deplete cellular levels of ATP. Antimycin A1 has been used as a fungicide, insecticide, and miticide. (From Merck Index, 12th ed)	Butanoic acid, 2(or 3)-methyl-, 3-((3-(formylamino)-2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino)-8-hexyl-2,6-dimethyl-4,9-dioxo-1,5-dioxonan-7-yl ester,Antimycin A1
D012231	Rhizobium	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that activate PLANT ROOT NODULATION in leguminous plants. Members of this genus are nitrogen-fixing and common soil inhabitants.
