Identification of a novel class of membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenases in Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 by in silico analysis.

ABSTRACT: In silico analysis of group 4 [NiFe]-hydrogenases from a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1, revealed a novel tripartite gene cluster consisting of dehydrogenase-hydrogenase-cation/proton antiporter subunits, which may be classified as the new subgroup 4b of [NiFe]-hydrogenases-based on sequence motifs.
