Identification of a bacterial di-haem cytochrome peroxidase from BG8 Free

Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of an open reading frame () downstream of the copper-repressible CorA-encoding gene of the methanotrophic bacterium BG8 was obtained by restriction enzyme digestion and inverse PCR. The amino acid sequence deduced from this gene showed significant sequence similarity to the surface-associated di-haem cytochrome peroxidase (SACCP) previously isolated from (Bath), including both -type haem-binding motifs. Homology analysis placed this protein, phylogenetically, within the subfamily containing the SACCP of the bacterial di-haem cytochrome peroxidase (BCCP) family of proteins. Immunospecific recognition confirmed synthesis of the CorB as a protein non-covalently associated with the outer membrane and exposed to the periplasm. c expression is regulated by the availability of copper ions during growth and the protein is most abundant in when grown at a low copper-to-biomass ratio, indicating an important physiological role of CorB under these growth conditions. was co-transcribed with the gene encoding CorA, constituting a copper-responding operon, which appears to be under the control of a -dependent promoter. CorB is the second isolated member of the recently described subfamily of the BCCP family of proteins. So far, these proteins have only been described in methanotrophic bacteria.
