Single Amino Acid Residues Control Potential-Dependent Inactivation of an Inner Membrane bc-Cytochrome

Komal Joshi et al.

Summary: By identifying mutations within cbcL that permit growth at higher potentials, this study provides evidence that the cytochrome CbcL is regulated by redox potential. Strains expressing certain mutant forms of CbcL were able to grow with high potential electron acceptors, while the wild type CbcL was oxidatively inactivated above -0.1 V. These findings support the hypothesis that CbcL has evolved to shut off rapidly in response to redox potential, redirecting electrons to higher yield oxidases in the Geobacter membrane.

Structure of Geobacter cytochrome OmcZ identifies mechanism of nanowire assembly and conductivity

Yangqi Gu et al.

Summary: By using cryogenic electron microscopy structure, we revealed the linear and closely stacked haems of OmcZ nanowires, which may account for its electron conductivity. The surface-exposed haems and charge interactions explained the binding interactions between OmcZ nanowires and diverse extracellular electron acceptors, as well as the rearrangement of nanowire network in different biochemical environments. In vitro studies demonstrated how G. sulfurreducens employed a serine protease to control the assembly of OmcZ monomers into nanowires. We found that OmcZ and serine protease are widespread in environmentally important bacteria and archaea, establishing the prevalence of nanowire biogenesis across diverse species and environments.

Cryo-EM structure of an extracellular Geobacter OmcE cytochrome filament reveals tetrahaem packing

Fengbin Wang et al.

Summary: Two electrically conductive appendages are produced by the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. One is a conductive fiber containing polymerized c-type cytochrome OmcS subunits, and the other is a thinner appendage comprised of cytochrome OmcE subunits. Both filaments share a conserved haem packing arrangement in which the haems are coordinated by histidines in adjacent subunits, despite having no overall sequence or structural similarities.

Evidence for Quinol Oxidation Activity of ImoA, a Novel NapC/NirT Family Protein from the Neutrophilic Fe(II)-Oxidizing Bacterium Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1

Abhiney Jain et al.

Summary: Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria are crucial in biogeochemical cycles and perform extracellular electron transfer through the Mto pathway. The electron transport proteins required for the growth of Sideroxydans species remain understudied, and there is debate about the functionality and directionality of these proteins.

Comparative proteomics of Geobacter sulfurreducens PCAT in response to acetate, formate and/or hydrogen as electron donor

Monir Mollaei et al.

Summary: Geobacter sulfurreducens responds differently to various electron donors, with formate being the preferred electron donor compared to acetate, hydrogen, or a combination of both. This preference is indicated by differential abundance of specific proteins involved in key metabolic processes.

Redox loops in anaerobic respiration - The role of the widespread NrfD protein family and associated dimeric redox module

Americo G. Duarte et al.

Summary: In prokaryotes, respiratory complexes generate proton or sodium motive force for ATP synthesis through ion-pumping mechanisms or redox loops. Some complexes contain dimeric redox modules with membrane proteins interacting with iron-sulfur proteins. The QrcABCD complex of sulfate reducers, including the QrcCD module, has shown conclusive evidence for energy conservation.

Geobacter sulfurreducens inner membrane cytochrome CbcBA controls electron transfer and growth yield near the energetic limit of respiration

Komal Joshi et al.

Summary: Geobacter sulfurreducens utilizes a range of extracellular electron acceptors for electron transfer, indicating the requirement for a highly branched electron transfer chain. CbcBA is identified as a crucial cytochrome in G. sulfurreducens, especially when acetate serves as the electron donor.

Nanosecond heme-to-heme electron transfer rates in a multiheme cytochrome nanowire reported by a spectrally unique His/Met-ligated heme

Jessica H. van Wonderen et al.

Summary: The study reports on the investigation of electron transfer rates in multiheme cytochromes, particularly focusing on the high rates observed in the process. The introduction of His/Met-ligated heme creates an electron sink that stabilizes charge separated states, potentially offering new insights for future designs of multiheme cytochromes as components in versatile photosynthetic biohybrid assemblies.
