RUBRERYTHRIN
Overview
We have determined the structure of rubrerythrin, a non-haem iron protein, from the anaerobic sulphate-reducing bacterium, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, (Hildenborough), by X-ray crystallography. The structure reveals a, tetramer of two-domain subunits. Each subunit contains a four-helix bundle, surrounding a diiron-oxo site and a C-terminal rubredoxin-like FeS4, domain. The diiron-oxo site contains a larger number of carboxylate, ligands and a higher degree of solvent exposure than do those in other, diiron-oxo proteins. The four-helix bundle of rubrerythrin closely, resembles those of the ferritin and bacterioferritin subunits, suggesting, a relationship among these proteins-consistent with the recently, demonstrated ferroxidase activity of rubrerythrin.
