Crystal structure of CcmG reducing oxidoreductase at 1.14 A
Overview
CcmG is unlike other periplasmic thioredoxin (TRX)-like proteins in that, it has a specific reducing activity in an oxidizing environment and a high, fidelity of interaction. These two unusual properties are required for its, role in c-type cytochrome maturation. The crystal structure of CcmG, reveals a modified TRX fold with an unusually acidic active site and a, groove formed from two inserts in the fold. Deletion of one of the, groove-forming inserts disrupts c-type cytochrome formation. Two unique, structural features of CcmG-an acidic active site and an adjacent, groove-appear to be necessary to convert an indiscriminately binding, scaffold, the TRX fold, into a highly specific redox protein.
