What are gas sensing proteins? Why are they so important for life? How can they sense small molecules such as O2, NO and CO? In this talk delivered in the Annual Meeting of the Portuguese Society of Biochemistry (2021), Dr Eduardo Sousa presents briefly some principles of gas sensing proteins, focusing on heme-based sensors that are the largest family of such systems. He describes some key aspects of two systems: FixL (involved symbiosis and nitrogen fixation in Rhizobia) and DevS/DosT (involved in the dormancy process in Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
