Abstract
The three-dimensional crystal structure of the Glu301Ala site-directed mutant of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase from Anabaena PCC 7119 has been determined at 1.8A resolution by x-ray diffraction. The overall folding of the Glu301Ala FNR mutant shows no significant differences with respect to that of the wild-type enzyme. However, interesting conformational changes are detected in the side chain of another glutamate residue, Glu139, which now points towards the FAD cofactor in the active center cavity. The new conformation of the Glu139 side chain is stabilized by a network of five hydrogen bonds to several water molecules, which seem to hold the carboxylate side chain in a rather fixed position. This interacting network connects the Glu139 side chain to the Ser80 side chain through a series of three water molecules. These observations are discussed in terms of the reactivity of Glu301Ala ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase towards its substrates, and the role of Glu301 in the catalysis is re-examined. Moreover, a structural explanation of the different reoxidation properties of this mutant is given on the basis of the reported structure by modeling the hypothetical flavin C(4a)-hydroperoxide intermediate. The model shows that the distal oxygen of the peroxide anion could be in an appropriate situation to act as the proton donor in the reoxidation process.

A new pocket is formed next to the FAD group increasing the solvent accessibility surface by 8 Å.[2] The C4a atom of isoalloxazine ring is highlighted (see Fig. 5 for labeling).

Figure 8. A stereoscopic view of the difference electron density at the NADP + site (contoured at 2s) calculated with phases from a model obtained by refining the native FNR X-ray model at 1.8 Å resolution (omitting residue 1 to 8, the sulfate ion and the water molecules) by simulated annealing and energy minimization against the amplitudes from the FNR-NADP + crystal. The final NADP + position is represented.
