Structural highlights
Function[FER_CLOAC] Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that transfer electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedFerredoxins (Fd) are electron-carrier proteins, the active sites of which are organized around clusters made of iron and inorganic sulfur. The Fd from Clostridium acidurici is 55 amino acids long and contains two [4Fe-4S] clusters. Crystals have been obtained in the space group P4(3)2(1)2, a = b = 34.441 (5), c = 74.778 (9) A. The structure was solved by molecular replacement using the Fd from Peptostreptcoccus asaccharolyticus as a search model, these two ferredoxins having 37 residues in common. Refinement using molecular-dynamics techniques was then initiated. Successive rounds of model building and refinement gave a structure that includes 45 water molecules with R = 15%. At this stage, the electron-density map clearly revealed discrepancies in the position of two amino acids in the published primary sequence. Refinement based on these modifications led to R = 14.3% for 3921 reflections up to 1.8 A, resolution. The geometry of the two clusters has been found to be in good agreement with that previously obtained at a lower resolution. Interactions of polypeptide chain with the [4Fe-4S] clusters, the cluster geometry as well as the hydrogen bonds involving S, Sgamma, N and water molecules are reported.
