Aquifex aeolicus is a microaerophilic, hydrogen-oxidizing, hyperthermophilic bacterium containing three [NiFe] hydrogenases. Two of these three enzymes (one membrane-bound and one soluble) have been purified and characterized. The Aquifex hydrogenases are thermostable and tolerant to oxygen. A cellular function for the three hydrogenases has been proposed. The two membrane-bound periplasmic hydrogenases may function in energy conservation, whereas the soluble cytoplasmic hydrogenase is probably involved in the CO2 fixation pathway.

Domains Of Life

RNase P is an essential tRNA-processing enzyme in all domains of life. We identified an unknown type of protein-only RNase P in the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus: Without an RNA subunit and the smallest of its kind, the 23-kDa polypeptide comprises a metallonuclease domain only. The protein has RNase P activity in vitro and rescued the growth of Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with inactivations of their more complex and larger endogenous ribonucleoprotein RNase P. Homologs of Aquifex RNase P (HARP) were identified in many Archaea and some Bacteria, of which all Archaea and most Bacteria also encode an RNA-based RNase P; activity of both RNase P forms from the same bacterium or archaeon could be verified in two selected cases. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that A. aeolicus and related Aquificaceae likely acquired HARP by horizontal gene transfer from an archaeon.

Open Issues

The crystal structure of a truncated, soluble quadruple mutant of FtsH fromAquifex aeolicuscomprising the AAA and protease domains has been determined at 2.96 Å resolution in space groupI222. The protein crystallizes as a hexamer, with the protease domain forming layers in theabplane. Contacts between these layers are mediated by the AAA domains. These are highly disordered in one crystal form, but are clearly visible in a related form with a shortercaxis. Here, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is bound to each subunit and the AAA ring exhibits twofold symmetry. The arrangement is different from the ADP-bound state of an analogously truncated, soluble FtsH construct fromThermotoga maritima. The pore is completely closed and the phenylalanine residues in the pore line a contiguous path. The protease hexamer is very similar to those described for other FtsH structures. To resolve certain open issues regarding a conserved glycine in the linker between the AAA and protease domains, as well as the active-site switch β-strand, mutations have been introduced in the full-length membrane-bound protein. Activity analysis of these point mutants reveals the crucial importance of these residues for proteolytic activity and is in accord with previous interpretation of the active-site switch and the importance of the linker glycine residue.
