Abstract:The 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (3HP/4HB) cycle from ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota is currently considered the most energy-efficient aerobic carbon fixation pathway. The Nitrosopumilus maritimus 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA synthetase (ADP-forming) (Nmar_0206) from this cycle represents one of a number of proteins that exhibit increased efficiency over its crenarchaeal counterparts. Nmar_0206 catalyzes the conversion of 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB) and Coenzyme-A (CoA) to 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA through the depho… Show more
