NEW INSIGHTS INTO THERMOSTABILITY OF BACTERIAL FERREDOXINS: HIGH RESOLUTION CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE SEVEN-IRON FERREDOXIN FROM THERMUS THERMOPHILUS
Overview
The crystal structure of the seven-iron ferredoxin from Thermus, thermophilus (FdTt) has been determined at 1.64 A resolution, allowing us, to unveil the common mechanisms of thermostabilization within, "bacterial-type" ferredoxins. FdTt and other homologous thermophilic, seven-iron ferredoxins are smaller than their mesophilic counterparts., Thermostabilizing features are optimized in a minimal structural and, functional unit, with an extensive cross-linking of secondary structure, elements mediated by improved polar and hydrophobic interactions. Most of, the potentially stabilizing features are focused on the vicinity of the, functional [3Fe-4S] cluster. The structural [4Fe-4S] cluster is shielded, in thermophilic FdTt by an increased number of polar interactions, involving the two ... [(full description)]
