G61A OXIDIZED FLAVODOXIN MUTANT
Overview
Mutants of the electron-transfer protein flavodoxin from Desulfovibrio, vulgaris were made by site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the role of, glycine-61 in stabilizing the semiquinone of FMN by the protein and in, controlling the flavin redox potentials. The spectroscopic properties, oxidation-reduction potentials, and flavin-binding properties of the, mutant proteins, G61A/N/V and L, were compared with those of wild-type, flavodoxin. The affinities of all of the mutant apoproteins for FMN and, riboflavin were less than that of the wild-type apoprotein, and the redox, potentials of the two 1-electron steps in the reduction of the complex, with FMN were also affected by the mutations. Values for the dissociation, constants of the complexes of the apoprotein with the semiquinone and, ... [(full description)]
