Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:47.19(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)The crystal structures of copper-containing nitrite reductase (CuNiR) from the thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium HTA426 and the amino (N)-terminal 68 residue-deleted mutant were determined at resolutions of 1.3 and 1.8, respectively. Both structures show a striking resemblance with the overall structure of the well-known CuNiRs composed of two Greek key -barrel domains; however, a remarkable structural difference was found in the N-terminal region. The unique region has one -strand and one -helix extended to the northern surface of the type-1 copper site. The superposition of the CuNiR model on the electron-transfer complex structure of CuNiR with the redox partner cytochrome in other denitrifier system led us to infer that this region contributes to the transient binding with the partner protein during the interprotein electron transfer reaction in the system. Furthermore, electron-transfer kinetics experiments using N-terminal residue-deleted mutant and the redox partner, cytochrome , were carried out. These structural and kinetics studies demonstrate that that region is directly involved in the specific partner recognition.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:20.56(Physics, Condensed Matter)We have investigated the magnetic properties of RFeO (R=Yb and Lu), which belongs to the homologous family of electronic ferroelectric RFeO. Magnetization measurements show ferrimagnetic ordering at the Neel temperature (T) of about 270 K, which is slightly higher than that of RFeO (T about 230-250 K). Observation of spin glass and exchange bias shows a coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagneticinteractions, similarly to RFeO. This situation gives rise to a complex magnetic change and a broad peak of magnetic entropy change. Some characteristics, such as refrigeration temperatures higher than in RFeO, seem to offer a possibility of this system to applications.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:37.1(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The stress and temperature dependence of the structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa has been investigated by neutron diffraction measurements under compressive stress to clarify the structural relationship among the P-, I-, M- and X-phases. The structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa depends strongly on stress and temperature compared to the M- or I-phase. In association with the X M transformation, both the position and intensity of the satellite reflection changes drastically, regardless of stress and temperature, while with X P transformation, the intensity of the satellite reflection fades gradually. For the I X transformation, the position and intensity of the satellite changes drastically when transformation occur under compressive stress, while the changes are continuous under zero stress. These results strongly suggest the existence of a multicritical point in NiMnGa.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

We have investigated stress and temperature dependences of the structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa to understand structural relation between the X-phase and other phases. We found that the structure change associated with the transformation from the intermediate (I-) phase to the X-phase is discontinuous under a compressive stress, while it is continuous under zero stress. In addition, the transformation from the X-phase to the L2-type parent phase is continuous regardless of applied stress. These results strongly suggest the existence of multi-critical point in NiMnGa.

Denitrification is known as anaerobic respiration in which nitrogenous compounds (NO or NO) are used as terminal electron acceptors. Copper-containing nitrite reductase (CuNIR) catalyzes the one electron reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide (NO), which is the key step in the denitrification pathway. Here, we report the structure analysis of CuNIR from thermophilic HTA426(NIR) at 1.3 resolution. NIR folds a homo-trimeric structure, having two copper binding sites per a monomeric unit as well as other CuNIRs. There are main characteristics of NIR in two loops (tower loop and extra loop regions) and the N-terminal region. The additional N-terminal -helix is positioned in the vicinity of the tower loop. These characteristic structures found in NIR structure suggest evolutionary diversity of CuNIR and play a key role in functioning in the particular environment where inhabits.

The rare-earth iron oxides RFeO (R=Yb and Lu) are materials closely related to a multiferroic system RFeO, which shows a new type of ferroelectiricy (i.e., electronic ferroelectiricy) at 330 K owing to real-space charge ordering of Fe ions. In this work, we have investigated detailed magnetic properties of a single crystalline LuFeO. It was found that this oxide shows the magnetic transition temperature of 270 K, which is higher than that of the corresponding RFeO (LuFeO), 240-250 K. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements exhibited spin-glass behavior at around the magnetic transition temperature. In addition, exchange bias and magnetocaloric effect were observed at low temperatures, similarly to RFeO. These phenomena are explained in connection with several factors, such as a coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions between Fe ions.
