Abstract
One of the two [4Fe-4S]-type clusters of the Rhodobacter capsulatus ferredoxin I, FdxN, was modified through site-specific mutagenesis of the distinctive features of the second cluster-binding motif, Cys38-X2-Cys41-X8-Cys50-X3-Cys54-X4-Cys59. First, various mutagenized products were tested to learn whether they could rescue the decreased capacity of an fdxN-null strain MSA1 to fix nitrogen: the phenotype of MSA1 was reassessed to Nifs (slow growth by nitrogen fixation) from our previous description of Nif- (Saeki, K., Suetsugu, Y., Tokuda, K., Miyatake, Y., Young, D. A., Marrs, B. L. and Matsubara, H. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 12889-12895). Substitution of Cys59 to Ser yielded an almost fully active product, while that of Cys54 did not. Gradual deletions and deletion-substitution of the 8 residues between Cys41 and Cys50 also yielded active products. Second, three of the modified FdxN proteins were subjected to purification. Only the GA protein, whose 8 residues between positions 42 and 49 were replaced by the Gly-Ala sequence, was purified. The GA protein and the authentic FdxN showed similar optical properties. The two clusters in the former had Em values of -490 and -430 mV, while those in the latter had an identical value ...Continue Reading
