- Аннотация: The hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima, although strictly anaerobic, is able to grow in the presence of low amounts of O(2). Here, we show that this bacterium consumes O(2) via a three-partner chain involving an NADH oxidoreductase (NRO), a rubredoxin (Rd) and a flavo-diiron protein (FprA) (locus tags: TM_0754, TM_0659 and TM_0755, respectively). In vitro experiments showed that the NADH-dependent O(2) consumption rate was 881.9 (+/- 106.7) mol O(2) consumed min(-1) per mol of FprA at 37 degrees C and that water was the main end-product of the reaction. We propose that this O(2) reduction chain plays a central role in the O(2) tolerance of T. maritima. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the genes coding for these three components were acquired by an ancestor of Thermotogales from an ancestor of Thermococcales via a single gene transfer. This event likely also involved two ROS scavenging enzymes (neelaredoxin and rubrerythrin) that are encoded by genes clustered with those coding for FprA, NRO and Rd in the ancestor of Thermococcales. Such genomic organization would have provided the ancestor of Thermotogales with a complete set of enzymes dedicated to O(2)-toxicity defence. Beside Thermotogales and Thermococcales, horizontal gene transfers have played a major role in disseminating these enzymes within the hyperthermophilic anaerobic prokaryotic communities, allowing them to cope with fluctuating oxidative conditions that exist in situ.
