Two flavo-diiron proteins (FDPs), FprA1 and FprA2, are up-regulated when the strictly anaerobic solvent producer, Clostridium acetobutylicum, is exposed to dioxygen. These two FDPs were purified following heterologous overexpression in Escherichia coli as N-terminal Strep-tag fusion proteins. The recombinant FprA1 and FprA2 were found to be homodimeric and homotetrameric, respectively, and both FDPs functioned as terminal components of NADH oxidases (NADH:O(2) oxidoreductases) when using C. acet ...[more]
