STRUCTURE OF SUPEROXIDE REDUCTASE BOUND TO FERROCYANIDE AND ACTIVE SITE EXPANSION UPON X-RAY INDUCED PHOTOREDUCTION
Overview
Some sulfate-reducing and microaerophilic bacteria rely on the enzyme, superoxide reductase (SOR) to eliminate the toxic superoxide anion radical, (O2*-). SOR catalyses the one-electron reduction of O2*- to hydrogen, peroxide at a nonheme ferrous iron center. The structures of, Desulfoarculus baarsii SOR (mutant E47A) alone and in complex with, ferrocyanide were solved to 1.15 and 1.7 A resolution, respectively. The, latter structure, the first ever reported of a complex between, ferrocyanide and a protein, reveals that this organo-metallic compound, entirely plugs the SOR active site, coordinating the active iron through a, bent cyano bridge. The subtle structural differences between the, mixed-valence and the fully reduced SOR-ferrocyanide adducts were, investigated by taking advantage of the photoelectrons induced by X-rays., The results reveal that photo-reduction from Fe(III) to Fe(II) of the iron, center, a very rapid process under a powerful synchrotron beam, induces an, expansion of the SOR active site.
