SITE-DIRECTED MUTAGENESIS OF AZOTOBACTER VINELANDII FERREDOXIN I. (FE-S) CLUSTER-DRIVEN PROTEIN REARRANGEMENTSITE-DIRECTED MUTAGENESIS OF AZOTOBACTER VINELANDII FERREDOXIN I. (FE-S) CLUSTER-DRIVEN PROTEIN REARRANGEMENT
Structural highlights
Function[FER1_AZOVI] Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that transfer electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions. This ferredoxin could play a role in regulating gene expression by interacting directly with DNA. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedAzotobacter vinelandii ferredoxin I is a small protein that contains one [4Fe-4S] cluster and one [3Fe-4S] cluster. Recently the x-ray crystal structure has been redetermined and the fdxA gene, which encodes the protein, has been cloned and sequenced. Here we report the site-directed mutation of Cys-20, which is a ligand of the [4Fe-4S] cluster in the native protein, to alanine and the characterization of the protein product by x-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic methods. The data show that the mutant protein again contains one [4Fe-4S] cluster and one [3Fe-4S] cluster. The new [4Fe-4S] cluster obtains its fourth ligand from Cys-24, a free cysteine in the native structure. The formation of this [4Fe-4S] cluster drives rearrangement of the protein structure.
