چکیده

The coupling of a single proton to [4Fe-4S]2+/+ oxidation/reduction in a de novo designed iron-sulfur protein maquette is presented. The reduced state pKared is 9.3, and the oxidized state pKaox is <6.5. The reduced state pKared shifts to 8.3 upon incorporation of a [4Fe-4Se]2+/+ cluster, implicating the cluster itself or its primary coordination sphere as the proton-coupling site.

The anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli. The small protein is an activating enzyme containing a [4fe-4s](2+) center.

For deoxyribonucleotide synthesis during anaerobic growth, Escherichia coli cells depend on an oxygen-sensitive class III ribonucleotide reductase. The enzyme system consists of two proteins: protein alpha, on which ribonucleotides bind and are reduced, and protein beta, of which the function is to introduce a catalytically essential glycyl radical on protein alpha. Protein beta can assemble on...

Direct square-wave voltammetry of superoxidized [4Fe-4S]3+ aconitase and associated 3Fe/4Fe cluster interconversions.

We report a direct square-wave voltammetric study of the iron-sulfur enzyme, aconitase, at the pyrolytic graphite edge electrode. New and established redox driven reactions were observed and the equilibrium reduction potential for each couple was determined: E0'[3Fe-4S]1+/0 = -268 mV, E0'[4Fe-4S]2+/1+ = -450 mV, E0'[4Fe-4S]3+/2+ = +100 mV, E0'Linear Form = -281 mV, and putatively, E0'[3Fe-4S]0/...

Detection of sulfide release from the oxygen-sensing [4Fe-4S] cluster of FNR.

The Escherichia coli FNR protein regulates the transcription of >100 genes in response to environmental O2, thereby coordinating the response to anoxia. Under O2-limiting conditions, FNR binds a [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster through four cysteine residues (Cys20, Cys23, Cys29, Cys122). The acquisition of the [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster converts FNR into the transcriptionally active dimeric form. Upon exposure to O...

Sequential oxidation of the cubane [4Fe--4S] cluster from [4Fe--4S](-) to [4Fe--4S](3+) in Fe(4)S(4)L(n)(-) complexes.

Gaseous Fe(4)S(n)(-) (n = 4-6) clusters and synthetic analogue complexes, Fe(4)S(4)L(n)(-) (L = Cl, Br, I; n = 1-4), were produced by laser vaporization of a solid Fe/S target and electrospray from solution samples, respectively, and their electronic structures were probed by photoelectron spectroscopy. Low binding energy features derived from minority-spin Fe 3d electrons were clearly distingu...

Reversible cycling between cysteine persulfide-ligated [2Fe-2S] and cysteine-ligated [4Fe-4S] clusters in the FNR regulatory protein.

Fumarate and nitrate reduction (FNR) regulatory proteins are O(2)-sensing bacterial transcription factors that control the switch between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. Under anaerobic conditions [4Fe-4S](2+)-FNR exists as a DNA-binding homodimer. In response to elevated oxygen levels, the [4Fe-4S](2+) cluster undergoes a rapid conversion to a [2Fe-2S](2+) cluster, resulting in a dimer-to-mo...
