THE X-RAY STRUCTURE OF FERRIC ESCHERICHIA COLI FLAVOHEMOGLOBIN REVEALS AN UNESPECTED GEOMETRY OF THE DISTAL HEME POCKET
OverviewOverview
The x-ray structure of ferric unliganded lipid-free Escherichia coli, flavohemoglobin has been solved to a resolution of 2.2 A and refined to an, R-factor of 19%. The overall fold is similar to that of ferrous, lipid-bound Alcaligenes eutrophus flavohemoglobin with the notable, exception of the E helix positioning within the globin domain and a, rotation of the NAD binding module with respect to the FAD-binding domain, accompanied by a substantial rearrangement of the C-terminal region. An, inspection of the heme environment in E. coli flavohemoglobin reveals an, unexpected architecture of the distal pocket. In fact, the distal site is, occupied by the isopropyl side chain Leu-E11 that shields the heme iron, from the residues in the topological positions predicted to interact with, heme ...
