“…The data thus fail to be fully convincing, and for the time being the smallest H 2 ases remain the green algal ones [18 -20]. The sizes of other monomeric [FeFe] H 2 ases cover a wide range, due to the presence, in addition to the H domain, of one (M~50-kDa, M2 framework) [21], three (M~65-kDa, M3 framework) [12,22], and up to five (M~120-kDa, M5 framework) [25] accessory domains containing Fe-S clusters (Fig. 2).…”

Most hydrogenases (H2ases), the enzymes that produce or oxidize dihydrogen, possess dimetallic active sites and belong to either one of two phylogenetically distinct classes, the [NiFe] and the [FeFe] H2ases. These families of H2ases share a number of similarities regarding active site structure and reaction mechanism, as a result of convergent evolution. They are otherwise alien to each other, in particular with respect to protein sequence and structure, maturation mechanisms, and distribution among the realms of life. One of the interesting features of [FeFe] H2ases is their occurrence in anaerobic bacteria, anaerobic protists, and mitochondriate eukaryotes. They thus have the potential to report on important evolutionary events, including transitions from the prokaryote to the eukaryote lifestyle. Genome sequences yield a variety of [FeFe] H2ase sequences that have been implemented to shed light on the evolution of these proteins and their host organisms.

“…The Fe-hydrogenase gene (hydA), which is usually involved in proton reduction (H 2 production) to dispose of excess reducing equivalents (1,2,22) in Clostridium spp. and sulfate reducers, has recently been used as a molecular marker to distinguish potential hydrogen-producing bacteria in mixed cultures (3,8,23).…”
