CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF MOUSE RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASE SUBUNIT R2 UNDER OXIDIZING CONDITIONS. A FULLY OCCUPIED DINUCLEAR IRON CLUSTER.
Overview
Class I ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the de novo synthesis of, deoxyribonucleotides in mammals and many other organisms. The RNR subunit, R2 contains a dinuclear iron center, which in its diferrous form, spontaneously reacts with O2, forming a mu-oxo-bridged diferric cluster, and a stable tyrosyl radical. Here, we present the first crystal, structures of R2 from mouse with its native dinuclear iron center, both, under reducing and oxidizing conditions. In one structure obtained under, reducing conditions, the iron-bridging ligand Glu-267 adopts the, mu-(eta1,eta2) coordination mode, which has previously been related to O2, activation, and an acetate ion from the soaking solution is observed where, O2 has been proposed to bind the iron. The structure of mouse R2 under, ... [(full description)]
