Publication Abstract from PubMed A so-called "green protein" has been purified from a moderate halophilic eubacterium, Bacillus halodenitrificans (ATCC 49067), under anaerobic conditions. The protein, which might play an important role in denitrification, dissociates mainly into two components after exposure to air: a manganese superoxide dismutase (GP-MnSOD) and a nucleoside diphosphate kinase. As a first step in elucidating the overall structure of the green protein and the role of each component, the 2.8-A resolution crystal structure of GP-MnSOD was determined. Compared with other manganese dismutases, GP-MnSOD shows two significant characteristics. The first is that the entrance to its substrate channel has an additional basic residue-Lys38. The second is that its surface is decorated with an excess of acidic over basic residues. All these structural features may be related to GP-MnSOD's high catalytic activity and its endurance against the special cytoplasm of B. halodenitrificans. The structure of GP-MnSOD provides the basis for recognizing its possible role and assembly state in the green protein.
