Article Synopsis
- Rhodoquinone (RQ) helps various bacteria and eukaryotes use fumarate as an electron acceptor in low-oxygen environments and is closely related to ubiquinone (UQ).
- The study focuses on the RquA protein from a mutant of Rhodospirillum rubrum, which is essential for synthesizing RQ from UQ.
- RquA acts like methyltransferases but uniquely uses S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) for an amino transfer reaction instead of methyl transfer, requiring manganese (Mn) as a cofactor, which distinguishes it from typical aminotransferases.

Estes and Aziz are mycobacteriophages that were isolated on mc155 at room temperature from soil samples collected in Spokane, WA. Their genome sequences are 83,601 and 83,412 bp long, respectively, and they are members of subcluster M2. Each contains 21 tRNA genes and short conserved repeats characteristic of cluster M phages.
