METAL NANOCLUSTERS BOUND TO THE FERRIC BINDING PROTEIN FROM NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE.
Overview
Transferrins transport Fe3+ and other metal ions in mononuclear-binding, sites. We present the first evidence that a member of the transferrin, superfamily is able to recognize multi-nuclear oxo-metal clusters, small, mineral fragments that are the most abundant forms of many metals in the, environment. We show that the ferric ion-binding protein from Neisseria, gonorrhoeae (nFbp) readily binds clusters of Fe3+, Ti4+, Zr4+ or Hf4+ in, solution. The 1.7 A resolution crystal structure of Hf-nFbp reveals three, distinct types of clusters in an open, positively charged cleft between, two hinged protein domains. A di-tyrosyl cluster nucleation motif, (Tyr195-Tyr196) is situated at the bottom of this cleft and binds either a, trinuclear oxo-Hf cluster, which is capped by phosphate, or a ...
