Characterization of energy-conserving hydrogenase B in Methanococcus maripaludis.

Abstract:

:The Methanococcus maripaludis energy-conserving hydrogenase B (Ehb) generates low potential electrons required for autotrophic CO(2) assimilation. To analyze the importance of individual subunits in Ehb structure and function, markerless in-frame deletions were constructed in a number of M. maripaludis ehb genes. These genes encode the large and small hydrogenase subunits (ehbN and ehbM, respectively), a polyferredoxin and ferredoxin (ehbK and ehbL, respectively), and an ion translocator (ehbF). In addition, a gene replacement mutation was constructed for a gene encoding a putative membrane-spanning subunit (ehbO). When grown in minimal medium plus acetate (McA), all ehb mutants had severe growth deficiencies except the DeltaehbO::pac strain. The membrane-spanning ion translocator (DeltaehbF) and the large hydrogenase subunit (DeltaehbN) deletion strains displayed the severest growth defects. Deletion of the ehbN gene was of particular interest because this gene was not contiguous to the ehb operon. In-gel activity assays and Western blots confirmed that EhbN was part of the membrane-bound Ehb hydrogenase complex. The DeltaehbN strain was also sensitive to growth inhibition by aryl acids, indicating that Ehb was coupled to the indolepyruvate oxidoreductase (Ior), further supporting the hypothesis that Ehb provides low potential reductants for the anabolic oxidoreductases in M. maripaludis.
