X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE M100K VARIANT OF FERRIC CYT C-550 FROM PARACOCCUS VERSUTUS DETERMINED AT 295 K.
OverviewOverview
The structure of cytochrome c-550 from the nonphotosynthetic bacteria, Paraccocus versutus has been solved by X-ray crystallography to 1.90 A, resolution, and reveals a high structural homology to other bacterial, cytochromes c(2). The effect of replacing the axial heme-iron methionine, ligand with a lysine residue on protein structure and unfolding has been, assessed using the M100K variant. From X-ray structures at 1.95 and 1.55 A, resolution it became clear that the amino group of the lysine side chain, coordinates to the heme-iron. Structural differences compared to the, wild-type protein are confined to the lysine ligand loop connecting, helices four and five. In the heme cavity an additional water molecule is, found which participates in an H-bonding interaction with the lysine, ligand. Under cryo-conditions extra electron density in the lysine ligand, loop is revealed, leading to residues K97 to T101 being modeled with a, double main-chain conformation. Upon unfolding, dissociation of the lysine, ligand from the heme-iron is shown to be pH dependent, with NMR data, consistent with the occurrence of a ligand exchange mechanism similar to, that seen for the wild-type protein.
