Application
Sodium (±)-homocitrate tribasic may be used in studies of formation and function of the iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) which contains 7Fe, 9S, Mo, R-homocitrate. FeMo-co is essential for nitrogen fixation by nitrogenous organisms.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Component of the iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenases , essential isomerization of homocitrate via homoaconitate to homoisocitrate, homocitrate accumulation seems to act as a sensor of lysine-pathway distress.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Nitrogenase catalyses the ATP-dependent reduction of N2 to NH3, and is composed of two proteins, dinitrogenase (MoFe protein or component I) and dinitrogenase reductase (Fe protein or component II). Dinitrogenase contains a unique prosthetic group (iron-molybdenum cofactor, FeMoco) comprised of

Here we report the large scale isolation and characterization of a species, designated MoFe cluster, that exhibits an S = 3/2 EPR signal, and the comparison of this entity to isolated FeMo cofactor in N-methylformamide and to the active site

When apodinitrogenase (lacking FeMo-co) was activated with FeMo-co synthesized in vitro in the presence of 3H-labeled homocitrate, label was incorporated into dinitrogenase. The physical association of the label with FeMo-co was demonstrated by reisolation and purification of the cofactor from

The lysine biosynthetic pathway has to supply large amounts of alpha-aminoadipic acid for penicillin biosynthesis in Penicillium chrysogenum. In this study, we have characterized the P. chrysogenum L2 mutant, a lysine auxotroph that shows highly increased expression of several lysine
