REDUCED FERREDOXIN 6 FROM RHODOBACTER CAPSULATUS
Overview
FdVI from Rhodobacter capsulatus is structurally related to a group of, [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins involved in iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis., Comparative genomics suggested that FdVI and orthologs found in, alpha-Proteobacteria are involved in this process. Here, the crystal, structure of FdVI has been determined for both the oxidized and the, reduced protein. The [2Fe-2S] cluster lies 6 A below the protein surface, in a hydrophobic pocket without access to the solvent. This particular, cluster environment might explain why the FdVI midpoint redox potential, (-306 mV at pH 8.0) did not show temperature or ionic strength dependence., Besides the four cysteines that bind the cluster, FdVI features an extra, cysteine which is located close to the S1 atom of the cluster and is, oriented in a ...
