CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A TERNARY ELECTRON TRANSFER COMPLEX BETWEEN METHYLAMINE DEHYDROGENASE, AMICYANIN AND A C-TYPE CYTOCHROME
Overview
The crystal structure of a ternary protein complex has been determined at, 2.4 angstrom resolution. The complex is composed of three electron, transfer proteins from Paracoccus denitrificans, the quinoprotein, methylamine dehydrogenase, the blue copper protein amicyanin, and the, cytochrome c551i. The central region of the c551i is folded similarly to, several small bacterial c-type cytochromes; there is a 45-residue, extension at the amino terminus and a 25-residue extension at the carboxyl, terminus. The methylamine dehydrogenase-amicyanin interface is largely, hydrophobic, whereas the amicyanin-cytochrome interface is more polar, with several charged groups present on each surface. Analysis of the, simplest electron transfer pathways between the redox partners points out, the importance of other factors such as energetics in determining the, electron transfer rates.
