Abstract:	The central protein of the sulfur-oxidizing enzyme system of Paracoccus pantotrophus, SoxYZ, formed complexes with subunits associated and covalently bound. In denaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) SoxY migrated at 12 and SoxZ at 16kDa. SDS-PAGE of homogeneous SoxYZ without reductant separated dimeric complexes of 25, 29, and 32kDa identified by the N-terminal amino acid sequences as SoxY-Y, SoxY-Z, and SoxZ-Z, and subunit cleavage by reduction suggested their linkage via protein disulfide bonds. SoxYZ was reversibly redox active between -0.25 and 0.2V, as monitored by a combined electrochemical and FTIR spectroscopic approach. The dimanganese SoxB protein (58.611Da) converted the covalently linked heterodimer SoxY-Z to SoxYZ with associated subunits which in turn aggregated to the heterotetramer Sox(YZ)2. This reaction depended on time and the SoxB concentration, and demonstrated the interaction of these two Sox proteins.
