General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the FMN enzyme protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (HemG) of Escherichia coli abstracts six electrons from its substrate and transfers them via ubiquinone, cytochrome bo3 and cytochrome bd oxidase to oxygen. Under anaerobic conditions electrons are transferred via menaquinone, fumarate and nitrate reductase. Cyo, Cyd and Nar contribute to the proton motive force that drives ATP formation. oxygen-dependent cytochrome oxidases, cytochrome bo3 (Cyo) and cytochrome bd (Cyd) oxidase, sustain up to 67% (Cyd) and 78% (Cyo) of HemG activity in the absence of ubiquinone, indicating a tight association of the quinones with the enzyme complexes during preparation Escherichia coli
