Abstract
A HIPIP‐type center was discovered in intact membranes of the thermohalophilic aerobe Rhodothermus marinus. In both the membrane‐bound state and after detergent solubilization and partial purification, this center exhibits an almost axial EPR spectrum, with g‐values at 2.13 and 2.03, similar to those of soluble HIPIP proteins isolated from purple bacteria. It has a high reduction potential, of 260 mV at pH 7.5. Rhodothermus HIPIP is involved in the main membrane‐bound electron‐transfer pathway, being reduced by NADH or succinate only in the presence of cyanide. The possible physiological function of this novel HIPIP‐type center is discussed.Keywords
