Crystal structure of the R2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase from Chlamydia trachomatis
Overview
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) synthesizes the deoxyribonucleotides for, DNA synthesis. The R2 protein of normal class I ribonucleotide reductases, contains a diiron site that produces a stable tyrosyl free radical, essential for enzymatic activity. Structural and electron paramagnetic, resonance studies of R2 from Chlamydia trachomatis reveal a protein, lacking a tyrosyl radical site. Instead, the protein yields an, iron-coupled radical upon reconstitution. The coordinating structure of, the diiron site is similar to that of diiron oxidases/monoxygenases and, supports a role for this radical in the RNR mechanism. The specific ligand, pattern in the C. trachomatis R2 metal site characterizes a new group of, R2 proteins that so far has been found in eight organisms, three of which, are human pathogens.
