Abstract
Pulsed ENDOR and HYSCORE measurements were carried out to characterize the active site of the oxygen-tolerant NAD(+)-reducing hydrogenase of Ralstonia eutropha. The catalytically active Nia-C state exhibits a bridging hydride between iron and nickel in the active site, which is photodissociated upon illumination. Its hyperfine coupling is comparable to that of standard hydrogenases. In addition, a histidine residue could be identified, which shows hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole parameters in significant variance from comparable histidine residues that are conserved in standard [NiFe] hydrogenases, and might be related to the O2 tolerance of the enzyme.

Abstract
The enterobacterium Escherichia coli synthesizes two H(2) uptake enzymes, Hyd-1 and Hyd-2. We show using precise electrochemical kinetic measurements that the properties of Hyd-1 and Hyd-2 contrast strikingly, and may be individually optimized to function under distinct environmental conditions. Hyd-2 is well suited for fast and efficient catalysis in more reducing environments, to the extent that in vitro it behaves as a bidirectional hydrogenase. In contrast, Hyd-1 is active for H(2) oxidation under more oxidizing conditions and cannot function in reverse. Importantly, Hyd-1 is O(2) tolerant and can oxidize H(2) in the presence of air, whereas Hyd-2 is ineffective for H(2) oxidation under aerobic conditions. The results have direct relevance for physiological roles of Hyd-1 and Hyd-2, which are expressed in different phases of growth. The properties that we report suggest distinct technological applications of these contrasting enzymes.

Abstract
Genes potentially coding for three distinct [NiFe] hydrogenases are present in the genome of Aquifex aeolicus. We have demonstrated that all three hydrogenases are expressed under standard growth conditions of the organism. Two hydrogenases were further purified to homogeneity. A periplasmically oriented hydrogenase was obtained in two forms, i.e., as a soluble enzyme containing only the two essential subunits and as a detergent-solubilized complex additionally containing a membrane-integral b-type cytochrome. The second hydrogenase purified was identified as a soluble cytoplasmic enzyme. The isolated enzymes were characterized with respect to biochemical/biophysical parameters, activity, thermostability, and substrate specificity. The phylogenetic positioning of all three hydrogenases was analyzed. A model for the metabolic roles of the three enzymes is proposed on the basis of the obtained results.

Abstract
We have performed ESEEM spectroscopy in order to obtain structural information about the environment of the [2Fe-2S] cluster and the [3Fe-4S] cluster of succinate dehydrogenase (Centres 1 and 3, respectively) in intact Arum maculatum mitochondrial membranes. Both iron-sulphur clusters showed modulations indicative of 14N in the three-pulse echo decay envelopes. We have estimated the hyperfine couplings for the reduced [2Fe-2S] cluster (A approximately 1.1 MHz) and the oxidised [3Fe-4S] cluster (A approximately 0.8 MHz). Our results are compared with ESEEM data obtained for purified [2Fe-2S] cluster-containing proteins, namely Spirulina platensis ferredoxin, a protein for which the three-dimensional structure is known, and Escherichia coli fumarate reductase. The hyperfine and quadrupolar coupling parameters determined are consistent with a weak interaction of Centre 1 and Centre 3 with peptide 14N, rather than 14N of imidazole rings.

Abstract
Thirty sequenced microbial hydrogenases are classified into six classes according to sequence homologies, metal content and physiological function. The first class contains nine H2-uptake membrane-bound NiFe-hydrogenases from eight aerobic, facultative anaerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The second comprises four periplasmic and two membrane-bound H2-uptake NiFe(Se)-hydrogenases from sulphate-reducing bacteria. The third consists of four periplasmic Fe-hydrogenases from strict anaerobic bacteria. The fourth contains eight methyl-viologen- (MV), factor F420- (F420) or NAD-reducing soluble hydrogenases from methanobacteria and Alcaligenes eutrophusH16. The fifth is the H2-producing labile hydrogenase isoenzyme 3 of Escherichia coli. The sixth class contains two soluble tritium-exchange hydrogenases of cyanobacteria. The results of sequence comparison reveal that the 30 hydrogenases have evolved from at least three different ancestors. While those of class I, II, IV and V hydrogenases are homologous, i.e. sharing the same evolutionary origin, both class III and VI hydrogenases are neither related to each other nor to the other classes. Sequence comparison scores, hierarchical cluster structures and phylogenetic trees show that class II falls into two distinct clusters composed of NiFe- and NiFeSe-hydrogenases, respectively. These results also reveal that class IV comprises three distinct clusters: MV-reducing, F420-reducing and NAD-reducing hydrogenases. Specific signatures of the six classes of hydrogenases as well as some subclusters have been detected. Analyses of motif compositions indicate that all hydrogenases, except those of class VI, must contain some common motifs probably participating in the formation of hydrogen activation domains and electron transfer domains. The regions of hydrogen activation domains are highly conserved and can be divided into two categories. One corresponds to the 'nickel active center' of NiFe(Se)-hydrogenases. It consists of two possible specific nickel-binding motifs, RxCGxCxxxH and DPCxxCxxH, located at the N- and C-termini of so-called large subunits in the dimeric hydrogenases, respectively. The other is the H-cluster of the Fe-hydrogenases. It might comprise three motifs on the C-terminal half of the large subunits. However, the motifs corresponding to the putative electron transfer domains, as well as their polypeptides chains, are poorly or even not at all conserved. They are present essentially on the small subunits in NiFe-hydrogenases. Some of these motifs resemble the typical ferredoxin-like Fe-S cluster binding site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The benefits of performing ENDOR experiments at higher microwave frequency are demonstrated in a Q-band (35 GHz) ENDOR investigation of a number of proteins with [nFe-mS] clusters, n = 2, 3, 4. Each protein displays several resonances in the frequency range of 0-20 MHz. In all instances, features are seen near v approximately 13 and 8 MHz that can be assigned, respectively, to "distant ENDOR" from 13C in natural-abundance (1.1%) and from 14N (the delta m1 = +/- 2 transitions); the nuclei involved in this phenomenon are remote from and have negligible hyperfine couplings to the cluster. In addition, a number of proteins show local 13C ENDOR signals with resolved hyperfine interactions; these are assigned to the beta carbons of cysteines bound to the cluster [A(13C) approximately 1.0 MHz]. Five proteins show resolved, local delta m1 = +/- 2 ENDOR signals from 14N with an isotropic hyperfine coupling, 0.4 less than or equal to A(14N) less than or equal to 1.0, similar to those seen in ESEEM studies; these most likely are associated with N-H...S hydrogen bonds to the cluster. Anabaena ferredoxin further shows a signal corresponding to A(14N) approximately 4 MHz. Quadrupole coupling constants are derived for both local and distant 14N signals. The interpretation of the data is supported by studies on 15N- and 13C-enriched ferredoxin (Fd) from Anabaena 7120, where the 15N signals can be clearly correlated with the corresponding 14N signals and where the 13C signals are strongly enhanced. Thus, the observation of 14N delta m1 = +/- 2 signals at Q-band provides a new technique for examining weak interactions with a cluster.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The enzymology of the heterodimeric (NiFe) and (NiFeSe) hydrogenases, the monomeric nickel-containing hydrogenases plus the multimeric F420-(NiFe) and NAD(+)-(NiFe) hydrogenases are summarized and discussed in terms of subunit localization of the redox-active nickel and non-heme iron clusters. It is proposed that nickel is ligated solely by amino acid residues of the large subunit and that the non-heme iron clusters are ligated by other cysteine-rich polypeptides encoded in the hydrogenase operons which are not necessarily homologous in either structure or function. Comparison of the hydrogenase operons or putative operons and their hydrogenase genes indicate that the arrangement, number and types of genes in these operons are not conserved among the various types of hydrogenases except for the gene encoding the large subunit. Thus, the presence of the gene for the large subunit is the sole feature common to all known nickel-containing hydrogenases and unites these hydrogenases into a large but diverse gene family. Although the different genes for the large subunits may possess only nominal general derived amino acid homology, all large subunit genes sequenced to date have the sequence R-X-C-X-X-C fully conserved in the amino terminal region of the polypeptide chain and the sequence of D-P-C-X-X-C fully conserved in the carboxyl terminal region. It is proposed that these conserved motifs of amino acids provide the ligands required for the binding of the redox-active nickel. The existing EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) information is summarized and discussed in terms of the numbers and types of ligands to the nickel and the various redox species of nickel defined by EPR spectroscopy. New information concerning the ligands to nickel is presented based on site-directed mutagenesis of the gene encoding the large subunit of the (NiFe) hydrogenase-1 of Escherichia coli. Based on considerations of the biochemical, molecular and biophysical information, ligand environments of the nickel in different redox states of the (NiFe) hydrogenase are proposed.

Abstract
Oxygen, either molecular oxygen or a reduction adduct, can tightly bind in the vicinity of the two forms of trivalent nickel occurring in hydrogenase from Chromatium vinosum, as evident from studies with 17O-enriched O2. This oxygen is not in the first coordination sphere of nickel. As has been reported earlier for hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio gigas (Fernandez, V.M., Hatchikian, A.C., Patil, D.S. and Cammack, R. (1986) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 883, 145-154), also the relative activity of the C.vinosum enzyme correlates well with the presence of only one of the two Ni(III) forms in the oxidized preparation. These results make it less likely that a specific oxygenation of only one of the Ni(III) forms would be the reason for the reversible inactivation of nickel hydrogenases by oxygen. Reaction of H2-reduced enzyme with 13CO now demonstrated beyond doubt that: (i) One 13CO molecule is a direct ligand to nickel in axial position; and (ii) hydrogen binds at the same coordination site as CO. It can also be concluded that hydrogen is not bound as a hydride ion, but presumably as molecular hydrogen. A simple way to explain the EPR spectra from the 13CO-adduct of the enzyme is to assume a monovalent state for the nickel.

Abstract
Hydrogenases devoid of nickel and containing only Fe-S clusters have been found so far only in some strictly anaerobic bacteria. Four Fe-hydrogenases have been characterized: from Megasphaera elsdenii, Desulfovibrio vulgaris (strain Hildenborough), and two from Clostridium pasteurianum. All contain two or more [4Fe-4S]1+,2+ or F clusters and a unique type of Fe-S center termed the H cluster. The H cluster appears to be remarkably similar in all the hydrogenases, and is proposed as the site of H2 oxidation and H2 production. The F clusters serve to transfer electrons between the H cluster and the external electron carrier. In all of the hydrogenases the H cluster is comprised of at least three Fe atoms, and possibly six. In the oxidized state it contains two types of magnetically distinct Fe atoms, has an S = 1/2 spin state, and exhibits a novel rhombic EPR signal. The reduced cluster is diamagnetic (S = 0). The oxidized H cluster appears to undergo a conformation change upon reduction with H2 with an increase in Fe-Fe distances of about 0.5 A. Studies using resonance Raman, magnetic circular dichroism and electron spin echo spectroscopies suggest that the H cluster has significant non-sulfur coordination. The H cluster has two binding sites for CO, at least one of which can also bind O2. Binding to one site changes the EPR properties of the cluster and gives a photosensitive adduct, but does not affect catalytic activity. Binding to the other site, which only becomes exposed during the catalytic cycle, leads to loss of catalytic activity. Mechanisms of H2 activation and electron transfer are proposed to explain the effects of CO binding and the ability of one of the hydrogenases to preferentially catalyze H2 oxidation.

Abstract
The thermostable hydrogenase from Thiocapsa roseopersicina was examined by low-temperature ESR spectroscopy. Two types of signals were detected, from an oxidized iron-sulphur cluster and a nickel centre (Ni-A). In the oxidized protein additional signals were observed due to spin-spin interaction between the two paramagnetic centres. This interaction could be reversibly abolished by reduction to a redox potential below 105 mV. This implies that an additional redox centre is involved in the interaction, for which an Fe3+ ion is suggested. Reduction with hydrogen induced a second type of nickel ESR signal (Ni-C), corresponding to an intermediate redox state seen in other nickel hydrogenases. The Ni-C species was light-sensitive at cryogenic temperatures. At temperatures near to 4.2 K the Ni-C signal showed evidence of interaction with another paramagnetic centre, presumably a second iron-sulphur cluster. On reoxidation a signal due to a third Ni(III) species, Ni-B, increased in amplitude. These results establish that metal centres in the hydrogenase from T. roseopersicina are closely similar to those of the well-studied hydrogenase from Chromatium vinosum.
