Abstract
De novo design of proteins provides an attractive approach to uncover the essential features required for their functions. Previously, we described the design and crystal structure determination of a di-Zn(II) complex of "due-ferri-1" (DF1), a protein patterned after the diiron-dimanganese class of redox-active proteins [Lombardi, A.; Summa, C.; Geremia, S.; Randaccio, L.; Pavone, V.; DeGrado, W. F. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2000, 97, 6298-6305]. The overall structure of DF1, which contains a carboxylate-bridged dinuclear metal site, agrees well with the intended design. However, access to this dimetal site is blocked by a pair of hydrophobic leucine residues (L13 and L13'), which prevent facile entry of metal ions and small molecules. We have now taken the next step in the eventual construction of a catalytically active metalloenzyme by engineering an active site cavity into DF1 through the replacement of these two leucine residues with smaller residues. The crystal structure of the dimanganous form of L13A-DF1 indeed shows a substrate access channel to the dimetal center. In the crystal structure, water molecules and a ligating dimethyl sulfoxide molecule, which forms a monatomic bridge between the metal ions, occupy the cavity. Furthermore, the diferric form of a derivative of L13A-DF1, DF2, is shown to bind azide, acetate, and small aromatic molecules.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Structure of dimetal ion site in an idealized diiron protein. Two Glu side chains form a bridging interaction between the metal ions, whereas the remaining two carboxylates form a one- or two-coordinate interaction with a single metal ion. Two His side chains are visible behind the ions. Two vacant sites face the viewer and are trans to the His ligands (Right). The figure shows the crystal structure of DF1; carbon atoms are green, nitrogens are blue, oxygens are red, and metal ions are magenta. The backbone trace is shown in purple.

Fig. 4. Stereo comparison of 2.5 Å di-Zn-DF1 structure with designed model. The superposition of the crystal structure symmetric dimer (green) and the designed model (gray) shows the liganding Glu and His residues. Note that the dimetal-binding site is nearly identical between the model and the crystal structure. However, conformation of the Tyr-2 and Trp-42 side chains in the crystal structure differs markedly from that in the design.
