A Survey of the Desulfuromonadia cytochromome provides a glimpse of the unexplored diversity of multiheme cytochromes in nature

The paper surveys MHC diversity in Desulfuromonadia using bioinformatics and AlphaFold2, revealing many uncharacterized cytochromes with potential biotechnological applications.

The structure of a novel ferredoxin: FhuF, a ferric-siderophore reductase from E. coli K-12 with a novel 2Fe-2S cluster coordination

This paper reports the crystal structure of FhuF, an FSR from E. coli K-12, revealing a novel 2Fe-2S cluster coordination and its role in ferric-siderophore reduction.

Evidence for quinol oxidase activity of ImoA, a novel NapC/NirT family protein from the neutrophilic Fe(II) oxidizing bacterium Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1

This study characterizes ImoA, a NapC/NirT family cytochrome from Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1, showing it functions as a quinol oxidase and can replace CymA in electron transfer.

How thermophilic Gram-positive organisms perform extracellular electron transfer: characterization of the cell surface terminal reductase OcwA

This study characterizes the structure and function of OcwA, a terminal reductase in the thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium Thermincola potens JR, showing its ability to reduce both solid electron acceptors and soluble electron shuttles.
