| - | A mutant form of the nitrogenase iron protein with a deletion of residue Leu 127, located in the switch II region of the nucleotide binding site, forms a tight, inactive complex with the nitrogenase molybdenum iron (MoFe) protein in the absence of nucleotide. The structure of this complex generated with proteins from Azotobacter vinelandii (designated the L127Delta-Av2-Av1 complex) has been crystallographically determined in the absence of nucleotide at 2.2 A resolution and with bound MgATP (introduced by soaking) at 3.0 A resolution. As observed in the structure of the complex between the wild-type A. vinelandii nitrogenase proteins stabilized with ADP.AlF(4-), the most significant conformational changes in the L127Delta complex occur in the Fe-protein component. While the interactions at the interface between the MoFe-protein and Fe-proteins are conserved in the two complexes, significant differences are evident at the subunit-subunit interface of the dimeric Fe-proteins, with the L127Delta-Av2 structure having a more open conformation than the wild-type Av2 in the complex stabilized by ADP.AlF(4-). Addition of MgATP to the L127Delta-Av2-Av1 complex results in a further increase in the separation between Fe-protein subunits so that the structure more closely resembles that of the wild-type, nucleotide-free, uncomplexed Fe-protein, rather than the Fe-protein conformation in the ADP.AlF(4-) complex. The L127Delta mutation precludes key interactions between the Fe-protein and nucleotide, especially, but not exclusively, in the region corresponding to the switch II region of G-proteins, where the deletion constrains Gly 128 and Asp 129 from forming hydrogen bonds to the gamma-phosphate and activating water for attack on this group, respectively. These alterations account for the inability of this mutant to support mechanistically productive ATP hydrolysis. The ability of the L127Delta-Av2-Av1 complex to bind MgATP demonstrates that dissociation of the nitrogenase complex is not required for nucleotide binding.
