General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | acetogens can be divided into two groups, the Na+-dependent ones with Acetobacterium woodii and the H+-dependent ones with Moorella thermoacetica (formerly Clostridium thermoaceticum) as model organisms | Acetobacterium woodii |
evolution | the archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans shows a variation of a Rnf complex where the rnf gene cluster has eight genes, one additional gene encodes for cytochrome c | Methanosarcina acetivorans |
malfunction | iron limitation in Rhodobacter capsulatus leads to an increase in cellular levels of RnfB | Rhodobacter capsulatus |
metabolism | role of the enzyme Rnf complex in the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, overview. Acetogens use the WoodLjungdahl pathway for reduction of carbon dioxide to acetate. This pathway not only allows reoxidation of reducing equivalents during heterotrophic growth but also supports chemolithoautotrophic growth on H2 +CO2. In addition to CO2, acetogens can use alternative electron acceptors, such as nitrate or caffeate. Caffeate respiration in the model acetogen Acetobacterium woodii is coupled to energy conservation via a chemiosmotic mechanism, with Na+ as coupling ion. Coupling of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to primary and electrogenic translocation of Na+ across the cytoplasmic membrane in Acetobacterium woodii | Acetobacterium woodii |
additional information | the Rnf complex of Methanosarcina acetivorans is suggested to reduce methanophenazine, which requires a different module compared to an enzyme that reduces NAD+. That may be the reason why this Rnf complex has a cytochrome c in addition | Methanosarcina acetivorans |
physiological function | in cells grown on acetate the rnf complex mediates oxidation of reduced ferredoxin (generated during acetyl-CoA oxidation) with reduction of methanophenanzine that then reduces the heterodisulfide | Methanosarcina acetivorans |
physiological function | RnfE might represent the coupling site for sodium ion translocation, the Rnf complex is involved in ferredoxin reduction in the bacterium | Rhodobacter capsulatus |
physiological function | the enzyme couples oxidation of reduced ferredoxin (generated by hydrogenase) with the reduction of NAD+. The Na+-translocating enzyme catalyzes electron transfer from ferredoxin to NAD+ coupled to electrogenic ion transport across the membrane. The enzyme is also involved in the electron-transfer pathway in caffeate respiration | Acetobacterium woodii |
physiological function | the physiological function is the reoxidation of reduced ferredoxin derived from pyruvate oxidation coupled to NAD+ reduction and Na+ export. The NADH generated is used as reductant in butyrate fermentation. Na+ is translocated through subunit RnfE | Clostridium tetani |
physiological function | the Rnf complex is involved in ferredoxin reduction in the synthrophic bacterium. When growing on benzoate or fatty acids, this organism has to synthesize pyruvate from acetyl-CoA and CO2. The ferredoxin required might be generated via reversed electron flow from NADH driven by the transmembrane electrochemical ion (H+,Na+) gradient | Syntrophus aciditrophicus |
