Abstract
The hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio baculatus (DSM 1743) was purified from each of three different fractions: soluble periplasmic (wash), soluble cytoplasmic (cell disruption) and membrane-bound (detergent solubilization). Plasma-emission metal analysis detected in all three fractions the presence of iron plus nickel and selenium in equimolecular amounts. These hydrogenases were shown to be composed of two non-identical subunits and were distinct with respect to their spectroscopic properties. The EPR spectra of the native (as isolated) enzymes showed very weak isotropic signals centered around g approximately 2.0 when observed at low temperature (below 20 K). The periplasmic and membrane-bound enzymes also presented additional EPR signals, observable up to 77 K, with g greater than 2.0 and assigned to nickel(III). The periplasmic hydrogenase exhibited EPR features at 2.20, 2.06 and 2.0. The signals observed in the membrane-bound preparations could be decomposed into two sets with g at 2.34, 2.16 and approximately 2.0 (component I) and at 2.33, 2.24, and approximately 2.0 (component II). In the reduced state, after exposure to an H2 atmosphere, all the hydrogenase fractions gave identical EPR spectra. EPR studies, performed at different temperatures and microwave powers, and in samples partially and fully reduced (under hydrogen or dithionite), allowed the identification of two different iron-sulfur centers: center I (2.03, 1.89 and 1.86) detectable below 10 K, and center II (2.06, 1.95 and 1.88) which was easily saturated at low temperatures. Additional EPR signals due to transient nickel species were detected with g greater than 2.0, and a rhombic EPR signal at 77 K developed at g 2.20, 2.16 and 2.0. This EPR signal is reminiscent of the Ni-signal C (g at 2.19, 2.14 and 2.02) observed in intermediate redox states of the well characterized Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase (Teixeira et al. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 8942]. During the course of a redox titration at pH 7.6 using H2 gas as reductant, this signal attained a maximal intensity around -320 mV. Low-temperature studies of samples at redox states where this rhombic signal develops (10 K or lower) revealed the presence of a fast-relaxing complex EPR signal with g at 2.25, 2.22, 2.15, 2.12, 2.10 and broad components at higher field. The soluble hydrogenase fractions did not show a time-dependent activation but the membrane-bound form required such a step in order to express full activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Free-living Bradyrhizobium japonicum grown heterotrophically with 1 microM 63Ni2+ accumulated label. Strain SR470, a Hupc mutant, accumulated almost 10-fold more 63Ni2+ on a per-cell basis than did strain SR, the wild type. Nongrowing cells were also able to accumulate nickel over a 2-h period, with the Hupc mutant strain SR470 again accumulating significantly more 63Ni2+ than strain SR. These results suggest that this mutant is constitutive for nickel uptake as well as for hydrogenase expression. The apparent Kms for nickel uptake in strain SR and strain SR470 were found to be similar, approximately 26 and 50 microM, respectively. The Vmax values, however, were significantly different, 0.29 nmol of Ni/min per 10(8) cells for SR and 1.40 nmol of Ni/min per 10(8) cells for SR470. The uptake process was relatively specific for nickel; only Cu2+ and Zn2+ (10 microM) were found to appreciably inhibit the uptake of 1 microM Ni, while a 10-fold excess of Mg2+, Co2+, Fe3+, or Mn2+ did not affect Ni2+ uptake. The lack of inhibition by Mg2+ indicates that nickel is not transported by a magnesium uptake system. Nickel uptake was also inhibited by cold (53% inhibition at 4 degrees C) and slightly by the ionophores nigericin and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. Other ionophores did not appreciably affect nickel uptake, even though they significantly stimulated O2 uptake. The cytochrome c oxidase inhibitors azide, cyanide, and hydroxylamine did not inhibit Ni2+ uptake, even at concentrations (of cyanide and hydroxylamine) that inhibited O2 uptake. The addition of oxidizable substrates such as succinate or gluconate did not increase nickel uptake, even though they increased respiratory activity. Nickel update showed a pH dependence with an optimum at 6.0. Most (approximately 85%) of the 63Ni2+ taken up in 1 min by strain SR470 was not exchangeable with cold nickel.

Abstract
A Mössbauer study of the three spin states of the reduced selenium-substituted 2[4Fe-4Se]+ ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum was carried out at T = 1.6 K, in perpendicular and parallel applied magnetic fields of up to 10 T. In low (0.1 T) applied fields, the spectra of the classical S = 1/2 state exhibit magnetic hyperfine patterns arising from two pairs of iron atoms with opposite hyperfine fields. The S = 7/2 state is in the slow relaxation limit at T less than or equal to 4 K in the absence of applied field. The corresponding Mössbauer spectrum can be understood in terms of anti-parallel coupling between one high-spin Fe3+ ion (Hhf = +21.2 T) and three high-spin Fe2+ ions (Hhf,xy = -25.5 T, Hhf,z = -28.5 T). For the S = 3/2 spin state, the use of high (8-10 T) applied fields was necessary to ensure the validity of the high-field approximation and overcome the intercluster spin-spin interaction. The spectral data obtained under such conditions allowed the determination of the hyperfine field (-4.2 T) and a tentative estimation of the zero-field splitting (D approximately less than 3 cm-1).

Abstract
We sequenced the NH2 terminus of the large and small subunits of the periplasmic hydrogenase from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) and found that the small subunit lacks a region of 34 NH4-terminal amino acids coded by the gene for the small subunit (G. Voordouw and S. Brenner, Eur. J. Biochem. 148:515-520, 1985). We suggest that this region constitutes a signal peptide based on comparison with known procaryotic signal peptides.

Abstract
We purified active hydrogenase from free-living Rhizobium japonicum by affinity chromatography. The uptake hydrogenase of R. japonicum has been treated previously as an oxygen-sensitive protein. In this purification, however, reducing agents were not added nor was there any attempt to exclude oxygen. In fact, the addition of sodium dithionite to aerobically purified protein resulted in the rapid loss of activity. Purified hydrogenase was more stable when stored under O2 than when stored under Ar. Sodium-chloride-washed hydrogen-oxidizing membranes were solubilized in Triton X-100 and deoxycholate and loaded onto a reactive red 120-agarose column. Purified hydrogenase elutes at 0.36 M NaCl, contains a nickel, and has a pH optimum of 6.0. There was 452-fold purification resulting in a specific activity of 76.9 mumol of H2 oxidized per min per mg of protein and a yield of 17%. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed subunits with estimated molecular weights of 65,000 and 33,000. Hydrogenase prepared in this manner was used to raise and affinity purify antibodies against both subunits.

Abstract
The EPR of reoxidized hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (H.) has been reinvestigated. In contrast to other workers [(1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 3728-3732] we find the axial signal with g = 2.06; 2.01 to be only a minor component of concentration 0.03 spin/mol. In the spectrum of fully active reoxidized enzyme this signal is overshadowed by a rhombic signal (0.1 spin/mol) with g = 2.11; 2.05; 2.00 reminiscent of the only signal found for other oxidized bidirectional hydrogenases. In addition, a novel signal has been detected with geff = 5.0 which, under the assumptions that S = 2 and [delta ms] = 2, quantitates to roughly one spin/mol. Ethylene glycol affects the relative intensity of the different signals. It is suggested that O2 sensitization parallels a spin-state transition of an iron-sulfur cluster.

Abstract
Metabolically active heterocysts isolated from wild-type Anabaena sp. strain CA showed high rates of light-dependent acetylene reduction and hydrogen evolution. These rates were similar to those previously reported in heterocysts isolated from the mutant Anabaena sp. strain CA-V possessing fragile vegetative cell walls. Hydrogen production was observed with isolated heterocysts. The ratio of C2H4 to H2 produced ranged from 0.9 to 1.2, and H2 production exhibited unique biphasic kinetics consisting of a 1 to 2-min burst of hydrogen evolution followed by a lower, steady-state rate of hydrogen production. This burst was found to be dependent upon the length of the dark period immediately preceding illumination and may be related to dark-to-light ATP transients. The presence of 100 nM NiCl2 in the growth medium exerted an effect on both acetylene reduction and hydrogen evolution in the isolated heterocysts from strain CA. H2-stimulated acetylene reduction was increased from 2.0 to 3.2 mumol of C2H4 per mg (dry weight) per h, and net hydrogen production was abolished. A phenotypic Hup- mutant (N9AR) of Anabaena sp. strain CA was isolated which did not respond to nickel. In isolated heterocysts from N9AR, ethylene production rates were the same under both 10% C2H2-90% Ar and 10% C2H2-90% H2 with or without added nickel, and net hydrogen evolution was not affected by the presence of 100 nM Ni2+. Isolated heterocysts from strain CA were shown to have a persistent oxygen uptake of 0.7 mumol of O2 per mg (dry weight) per h, 35% of the rate of whole filaments, at air saturating O2 levels, indicating that O2 impermeability is not a requirement for active heterocysts.

Abstract
The m.c.d. spectrum of the oxidized state of hydrogenase from Megasphaera elsdenii has been measured at liquid-helium temperatures. This oxidation state of the enzyme displays a characteristic rhombic e.p.r. signal with g-values of 2.101, 2.052 and 2.005 assigned previously to a [4Fe-4S]3+ cluster as in oxidized HiPIP (high-potential iron-sulphur protein) [Van Dijk, Grande, Mayhew & Veeger (1980) Eur. J. Biochem. 107, 251-261]. The low-temperature m.c.d. spectrum shows no features attributable to an oxidized four-iron cluster of the HiPIP type, but does reveal broad, positive peaks at 460 and 730 nm, which magnetize in a manner untypical of a spin S = 1/2 cluster with g-values close to 2. The m.c.d. spectrum is most closely similar to that of dye-oxidized P-clusters known in the enzyme nitrogenase. It is therefore proposed that the rhombic e.p.r. spectrum at a g-value close to 2 arises from an m.c.d.-silent radical species that may be related chemically to the cysteine persulphide species, RS-S., recently found in the hexacyanoferrate-oxidized seven-iron ferredoxin of Azotobacter vinelandii [Morgan, Stephens, Devlin, Stout, Melis & Burgess (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 1931-1935].

Abstract
Redox titrations with hydrogenase from Chromatium vinosum show that its nickel ion can exist in 3, possibly 4, different redox states: the 3+, 2+, 1+ and possibly a zero valent state. The 1+ state is unstable: oxidation to Ni(II) occurs unless H2 gas is present. The Ni(I) coordination, but not that of Ni(III), is highly light sensitive. A photoreaction occurs on illumination. It is irreversible below 77 K, but reversible at 200 K. The rate of this photodissociation reaction in 2H2O is nearly 6-times slower than in H2O, indicating the breakage of a nickel-hydrogen bond. This forms the first evidence for an H atom in the direct coordination sphere of Ni in hydrogenase and for the involvement of this metal in the reaction with hydrogen.
