The Complex of Cytochrome f and Plastocyanin from Nostoc sp. PCC 7119 is Highly Dynamic
Cytochrome f (Cyt f) and plastocyanin (Pc) form a highly transient complex as part of the photosynthetic redox chain. The complex from Nostoc sp. PCC 7119 was studied by NMR relaxation spectroscopy with the aim of determining the orientation of Pc relative to Cyt f. Chemical-shift-perturbation analysis showed that the presence of spin labels on the surface of Cyt f does not significantly affect...
متن کاملLoss of electrostatic interactions causes increase of dynamics within the plastocyanin-cytochrome f complex.
Recent studies on the electron transfer complex formed by cytochrome f and plastocyanin from Nostoc revealed that both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions play a role in the process of complex formation. To study the balance between these two types of interactions in the encounter and the final state, the complex between plastocyanin from Phormidium laminosum and cytochrome f from Nostoc...
متن کاملIdentification of sesquiterpene synthases from Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102 and Nostoc sp. strain PCC 7120.
Cyanobacteria are a rich source of natural products and are known to produce terpenoids. These bacteria are the major source of the musty-smelling terpenes geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, which are found in many natural water supplies; however, no terpene synthases have been characterized from these organisms to date. Here, we describe the characterization of three sesquiterpene synthases ident...
متن کاملRole of the surface charges D72 and K8 in the function and structural stability of the cytochrome c from Nostoc sp. PCC 7119.
We investigated the role of electrostatic charges at positions D72 and K8 in the function and structural stability of cytochrome c6 from Nostoc sp. PCC 7119 (cyt c6). A series of mutant forms was generated to span the possible combinations of charge neutralization (by mutation to alanine) and charge inversion (by mutation to lysine and aspartate, respectively) in these positions. All forms of c...
متن کاملHydrophobic interactions in a cyanobacterial plastocyanin-cytochrome f complex.
The complex of the photosynthetic redox partners plastocyanin and cytochrome f from the thermophilic cyanobacterium, Phormidium laminosum, was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Chemical-shift perturbation analysis of amide proton and nitrogen nuclei implicates the hydrophobic patch and, to a lesser extent, the "eastern face" of plastocyanin in the complex interface. Intermolecul...
