Genetic and Biochemical Analysis of the Azotobacter vinelandii Molybdenum Storage Protein

The N2 fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii carries a molybdenum storage protein, referred to as MoSto, able to bind 25-fold more Mo than needed for maximum activity of its Mo nitrogenase. Here we have investigated a plausible role of MoSto as obligate intermediate in the pathway that provides Mo...
