D95A OXIDIZED FLAVODOXIN MUTANT FROM D. VULGARIS
OverviewOverview
The side chain of aspartate 95 in flavodoxin from Desulfovibrio vulgaris, provides the closest negative charge to N(1) of the bound FMN in the, protein. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to substitute alanine, asparagine, or glutamate for this amino acid to assess the effect of this, charge on the semiquinone/hydroquinone redox potential (E(1)) of the FMN, cofactor. The D95A mutation shifts the E(1) redox potential positively by, 16 mV, while a negative shift of 23 mV occurs in the oxidized/semiquinone, midpoint redox potential (E(2)). The crystal structures of the oxidized, and semiquinone forms of this mutant are similar to the corresponding, states of the wild-type protein. In contrast to the wild-type protein, a, further change in structure occurs in the D95A mutant in the ... [(full description)]
