Abstract
Fumarate respiration is one of the most widespread types of anaerobic respiration. The soluble fumarate reductase of Shewanella putrefaciens MR-1 is a periplasmic tetraheme flavocytochrome c. The crystal structures of the enzyme were solved to 2.9 A for the uncomplexed form and to 2.8 A and 2.5 A for the fumarate and the succinate-bound protein, respectively. The structures reveal a flexible capping domain linked to the FAD-binding domain. A catalytic mechanism for fumarate reduction based on the structure of the complexed protein is proposed. The mechanism for the reverse reaction is a model for the homologous succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) of the respiratory chain. In flavocytochrome c fumarate reductase, all redox centers are in van der Waals contact with one another, thus providing an efficient conduit of electrons from the hemes via the FAD to fumarate.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Protein fold of the soluble fumarate reductase. a,b, Ribbon representation of fumarate reductase; molecule A of the orthorhombic crystal form is depicted. The cytochrome domain I is in orange and domains II, III and IV are in light blue, dark blue and green, respectively. The orientation in (b) is rotated 90° counter-clockwise horizontally and 90° clockwise along the vertical axis with respect to (a). Both figures were made using Molscript^30 and Raster3D^31. c, Superposition of the structures of fumarate reductase in the tetragonal form (green) and the orthorhombic crystal (molecule A, red; molecule D, blue) using the C coordinates of the FAD binding domain as the reference (figure generated using TURBO-FRODO^28). The view is approximately along the axis of rotation around the double hinge (see text) situated near residue 503. For clarity, only domains I, II and IV in molecule D of the orthorhombic crystal form (black lines) are shown.
