CLOSTRIDIUM BEIJERINCKII FLAVODOXIN MUTANT: D58P OXIDIZED
Overview
X-ray analyses of wild-type and mutant flavodoxins from Clostridium, beijerinckii show that the conformation of the peptide Gly57-Asp58, in a, bend near the isoalloxazine ring of FMN, is correlated with the oxidation, state of the FMN prosthetic group. The Gly-Asp peptide may adopt any of, three conformations: trans O-up, in which the carbonyl oxygen of Gly57, (O57) points toward the flavin ring; trans O-down, in which O57 points, away from the flavin; and cis O-down. Interconversions among these, conformers that are linked to oxidation-reduction of the flavin can, modulate the redox potentials of bound FMN. In the semiquinone and reduced, forms of the protein, the Gly57-Asp58 peptide adopts the trans O-up, conformation and accepts a hydrogen bond from the flavin N5H [Smith, W., W., ...
