NITROGENASE MO-FE PROTEIN FROM KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE, NIFV MUTANT
Overview
The x-ray crystal structure of NifV(-) Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase MoFe protein (NifV(-) Kp1) has been determined and refined to a resolution of 1.9 A. This is the first structure for a nitrogenase MoFe protein with an altered cofactor. Moreover, it is the first direct evidence that the organic acid citrate is not just present, but replaces homocitrate as a ligand to the molybdenum atom of the iron molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco). Subsequent refinement of the structure revealed that the citrate was present at reduced occupancy.
