COMPLEXES OF DODECIN WITH FLAVIN AND FLAVIN-LIKE LIGANDSCOMPLEXES OF DODECIN WITH FLAVIN AND FLAVIN-LIKE LIGANDS
Structural highlights
FunctionDODEC_HALS3 May function as storage protein that sequesters riboflavin and related compounds, thereby protecting the cell against undesirable reactions mediated by the free flavins. Binds and sequesters riboflavin, lumiflavin and lumichrome. Can also bind FAD and FMN (in vitro), but has low affinity for FAD and even lower affinity for FMN. Protects bound flavins against light damage; Trp-36 rapidly quenches the flavin excited state. Promotes the conversion of bound riboflavin to lumichrome.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedTamed electrons: To manipulate a protein photocycle in a directed manner, the flavoprotein dodecin was endoscopically modified at its key amino acid tryptophan with substituents carefully selected by their structural and electronic influence. The approach is ideal in the precision of rational protein engineering, and allows correlating tryptophan ionization potentials and electron transfer rates in a Marcus model.
