The MnxEF subunits of Bacillus PL-12 Mnx Mn oxidase oligomerize when co-expressed.
EPR and XAS show at least one type 2 copper binds to a putative MnxEF hexamer.
UV–vis shows low-spin heme binds to wild type and MnxEF triple His mutant.
MnxEF is the first non-cytochrome protein to bind heme and type 2 copper.
