CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE AS ISOLATED FERRITIN FROM THE HYPERTHERMOPHILIC ARCHAEAL ANAEROBE PYROCOCCUS FURIOSUS
|
OverviewOverview
The crystal structure of the ferritin from the archaeon, hyperthermophile, and anaerobe Pyrococcus furiosus (PfFtn) is presented. While many ferritin, structures from bacteria to mammals have been reported, until now only one, was available from archaea, the ferritin from Archaeoglobus fulgidus, (AfFtn). The PfFtn 24-mer exhibits the 432 point-group symmetry that is, characteristic of most ferritins, which suggests that the 23 symmetry, found in the previously reported AfFtn is not a common feature of archaeal, ferritins. Consequently, the four large pores that were found in AfFtn are, not present in PfFtn. The structure has been solved by molecular, replacement and refined at 2.75-A resolution to R = 0.195 and R (free) =, 0.247. The ferroxidase center of the aerobically crystallized ...
