Tri-nuclear oxo-iron clusters in the ferric binding protein from N. gonorrhoeae
Overview
We report a set of three 1.8-1.9 A resolution X-ray crystal structures of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Fbp (ferric-ion binding protein): (i) open-cleft apo-Fbp containing bound phosphate, (ii) open-cleft mono-Fe Fbp capped by nitrilotriacetate, and (iii) open-cleft trinuclear oxo-iron Fbp, the first structure of an iron-cluster adduct of a transferrin. The nine independent molecules in the unit cells provide 'snapshots' of the versatile dynamic structural roles of the conserved dityrosyl iron-binding motif (Tyr195-Tyr196) which control the capture and, possibly, processing of iron. These findings have implications for understanding bacterial iron acquisition and dissimilation, and organic/mineral interfaces.
