Abstract
BACKGROUND: The 'Rieske' iron-sulfur protein is the primary electron acceptor during hydroquinone oxidation in cytochrome bc complexes. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the 'Rieske' [2Fe-2S] cluster differ significantly from those of other iron-sulfur clusters. A 129-residue water soluble fragment containing the intact [2Fe-2S] cluster was isolated following proteolytic digestion of the bc1 complex and used for structural studies. RESULTS: The structure of the Rieske iron-sulfur fragment containing the reduced [2Fe-2S] cluster has been determined using the multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) technique and refined at 1.5 A resolution. The fragment has a novel overall fold that includes three sheets of beta strands. The iron atoms of the [2Fe-2S] cluster are coordinated by two cysteine (Fe-1) and two histidine (Fe-2) residues, respectively, with the histidine ligands completely exposed to the solvent. This is in contrast to the four cysteine coordination pattern observed in previously characterised [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins. The cluster-binding fold is formed by two loops connected by a disulfide bridge; these loops superpose with the metal-binding loops of rubredoxins. The environment of the cluster is stabilised by an extensive hydrogen-bond network. CONCLUSIONS: The high-resolution structure supports the proposed coordination pattern involving histidine ligands and provides a basis for a detailed analysis of the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties. As the cluster is located at the tip of the protein, it might come into close contact with cytochrome b. The exposed N epsilon atoms of the histidine ligands of the cluster are readily accessible to quinones and inhibitors within the hydroquinone oxidation (QP) pocket of the bc1 complex and may undergo redox-dependent protonation/deprotonation.

Figure 3. Topology of the ISF. The hydrogen-bond pattern and secondary structure assignment are indicated. The residues conserved in all known Rieske iron–sulfur proteins from cytochrome bc[1] complexes are printed in red. The outlined characters denote residues missing in Rieske iron–sulfur protein from the cytochrome b[6]^f complex. Metal ligands and residues that form a disulfide bridge are colored yellow and green, respectively. Figure 3. Topology of the ISF.

The extreme ranges of red and blue represent electrostatic potentials of −5 and +5 k[B]T, respectively (k[B], Boltzmann constant; T, temperature). The view shows the same orientation as Figure 2a. The figure was generated using the program GRASP [50]. Figure 6. Electrostatic surface properties of the ISF.
