Abstract
|
|
|
Cu-containing nitrite reductases (NiRs) perform the reduction of nitrite to NO
via an ordered mechanism in which the delivery of a proton and an electron to
the catalytic type 2 Cu site is highly orchestrated. Electron transfer from a
redox partner protein, azurin or pseudoazurin, to the type 1 Cu site is assumed
to occur through the formation of a protein-protein complex. We report here a
new crystal form in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) of the Met144Leu mutant of NiR
from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans (AxNiR), revealing a head-to-head packing motif
involving residues around the hydrophobic patch of domain 1. Superposition of
the structure of azurin II with that of domain 1 of one of the Met144Leu
molecules provides the first glimpse of an azurin II-NiR protein-protein
complex. Mutations of two of the residues of AxNiR, Trp138His (Barrett et al. in
Biochemistry 43:16311-16319, 2004) and Met87Leu, highlighted in the AxNiR-azurin
complex, results in substantially decreased activity when azurin is used as the
electron donor instead of methyl viologen, providing direct evidence for the
importance of this region for complex formation.
