Comparison of the X-ray structure of native rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus with the NMR structure of the zinc-substituted protein.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The three-dimensional X-ray structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus, determined at -161 degrees C, and the NMR structure of the zinc-substituted protein, determined in solution at 45 degrees C, are compared. The NMR and X-ray structures, which were determined independently, are very similar and lead to similar conclusions regarding the interactions that confer hyperthermostability.

The three-dimensional X-ray structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus, determined at -161 "C, and the NMR structure of the zinc-substituted protein, determined in solution at 45 "C, are compared. The NMR and X-ray structures, which were determined independently, are very similar and lead to similar conclusions regarding the interactions that confer hype...
متن کاملNuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) of rubredoxin and MoFe protein crystals.
We have applied 57Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) for the first time to study the dynamics of Fe centers in Fe-S protein crystals, including oxidized wild type rubredoxin crystals from Pyrococcus furiosus, and the MoFe protein of nitrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii. Thanks to the NRVS selection rule, selectively probed vibrational modes have been observed in both orient...
متن کاملThe Key to the Extraordinary Thermal Stability of P. furiosus Holo-Rubredoxin: Iron Binding-Guided Packing of a Core Aromatic Cluster Responsible for High Kinetic Stability of the Native Structure
Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin (PfRd), a small, monomeric, 53 residues-long, iron-containing, electron-transfer protein of known structure is sometimes referred to as being the most structurally-stable protein known to man. Here, using a combination of mutational and spectroscopic (CD, fluorescence, and NMR) studies of differently made holo- and apo-forms of PfRd, we demonstrate that it is not ...
متن کاملX-ray crystal structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of the rubredoxin from the marine hyperthermophilic archaebacterium Pyrococcus furiosus.
The structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of the rubredoxin from the archaebacterium, Pyrococcus furiosus, an organism that grows optimally at 100 degrees C, have been determined by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 1.8 A. Crystals of this rubredoxin grow in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with room temperature cell dimensions a = 34.6 A, b = 35.5 A, and c = 44.4 A. Initial phases were ...
متن کاملResponse of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus to environmental changes: implications for the origin of hyperthermostability.
The bases of the hyperthermostability of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus (RdPf) have been probed by structural perturbations induced by solution pH and ionic strength changes. Comparison of the solution behavior at pH 7 and pH 2, as probed by far- and near-UV circular dichroism, Trp fluorescence emission, 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) binding, and NMR spectroscopy, reveals the pres...
