TUNGSTEN-SUSBSTITUTED DMSO REDUCTASE FROM RHODOBACTER CAPSULATUS
Structural highlights
FunctionDSTOR_RHOCA Catalyzes the reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) to dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and trimethylamine, respectively. The terminal DMSO reductase can also use various sulfoxides and N-oxide compounds as terminal electron acceptor in addition to DMSO and TMAO.[1] [2] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedDMSO reductase (DMSOR) from Rhodobacter capsulatus, well-characterised as a molybdoenzyme, will bind tungsten. Protein crystallography has shown that tungsten in W-DMSOR is ligated by the dithiolene group of the two pyranopterins, the oxygen atom of Ser147 plus another oxygen atom, and is located in a very similar site to that of molybdenum in Mo-DMSOR. These conclusions are consistent with W L(III)-edge X-ray absorption, EPR and UV/visible spectroscopic data. W-DMSOR is significantly more active than Mo-DMSOR in catalysing the reduction of DMSO but, in contrast to the latter, shows no significant ability to catalyse the oxidation of DMS.
