LITERATURE
evolution
the qhp genes are very widely distributed, not only in many Gram-negative species but also in a few Gram-positive bacteria, bacterial distribution of qhp and associated genes, overview. The subunits constituting QHNDH are encoded by ORF1 (alpha subunit), ORF4 (beta subunit), and ORF3 (gamma subunit). Of the other genes in the operon, ORF2 encodes an [Fe-S] cluster and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-binding protein, a member of the radical SAM superfamily, and ORF5 encodes a protein of approximately 22.5 kDa belonging to subfamily S8A of peptidase family S8 (the subtilisin family) with the conserved Asp/His/Ser catalytic triad characteristic of this subfamily
malfunction
the genes mauF and mauE are membrane proteins with no homology to characterized proteins, and are thought to be involved in transport of MADH subunits into the periplasm. Knocking out either gene leads to no detectable beta-subunit in the periplasm, and an unusual beta-subunit leader sequence is consistent with it being trafficked by a specific transporter. The loss of mauF and mauE additionally leads to a drastic reduction in alpha-subunit. The third gene, mauD, is homologous to disulfide isomerases, and is likely specific to the MADH beta-subunit, which has six disulfides. In the absence of mauD, periplasmic alpha-subunit levels are close to normal, but again there is no detectable beta-subunit implying that the disulfides are key to beta-subunit stability. When the final required gene, mauG, is knocked out, there are normal levels of MADH alpha- and beta-subunit in the periplasm, but no methylamine dehydrogenase activity is present. This has focused attention on the mauG gene product as a likely participant in TTQ biosynthesis
