Staphylococcus aureus NrdH redoxin is a reductant of the class Ib ribonucleotide reductase.
Staphylococci contain a class Ib NrdEF ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) that is responsible, under aerobic conditions, for the synthesis of deoxyribonucleotide precursors for DNA synthesis and repair. The genes encoding that RNR are contained in an operon consisting of three genes, nrdIEF, whereas many other class Ib RNR operons contain a fourth gene, nrdH, that determines a thiol redoxin protein...
متن کاملThe dimanganese(II) site of Bacillus subtilis class Ib ribonucleotide reductase.
Class Ib ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) use a dimanganese-tyrosyl radical cofactor, Mn(III)(2)-Y(•), in their homodimeric NrdF (β2) subunit to initiate reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. The structure of the Mn(II)(2) form of NrdF is an important component in understanding O(2)-mediated formation of the active metallocofactor, a subject of much interest because a unique fla...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis Class Ib Ribonucleotide Reductase: High Activity and Dynamic Subunit Interactions
The class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) isolated from Bacillus subtilis was recently purified as a 1:1 ratio of NrdE (α) and NrdF (β) subunits and determined to have a dimanganic-tyrosyl radical (Mn(III)2-Y·) cofactor. The activity of this RNR and the one reconstituted from recombinantly expressed NrdE and reconstituted Mn(III)2-Y· NrdF using dithiothreitol as the reductant, however, was lo...
متن کاملEscherichia coli class Ib ribonucleotide reductase contains a dimanganese(III)-tyrosyl radical cofactor in vivo.
Escherichia coli class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) converts nucleoside 5'-diphosphates to deoxynucleoside 5'-diphosphates in iron-limited and oxidative stress conditions. We have recently demonstrated in vitro that this RNR is active with both diferric-tyrosyl radical (Fe(III)(2)-Y(•)) and dimanganese(III)-Y(•) (Mn(III)(2)-Y(•)) cofactors in the β2 subunit, NrdF [Cotruvo, J. A., Jr., and ...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis class Ib ribonucleotide reductase is a dimanganese(III)-tyrosyl radical enzyme.
Bacillus subtilis class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the conversion of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides, providing the building blocks for DNA replication and repair. It is composed of two proteins: α (NrdE) and β (NrdF). β contains the metallo-cofactor, essential for the initiation of the reduction process. The RNR genes are organized within the nrdI-nrdE-nrdF-ymaB operon. Each p...
