Abstract
We have solved the crystal structure of FRase I, the major NAD(P)H:FMN oxidoreductase of Vibrio fischeri, by the multiple isomorphous replacement method (MIR) at 1.8 A resolution with the conventional R factor of 0.187. The crystal structure of FRase I complexed with its competitive inhibitor, dicoumarol, has also been solved at 2.2 A resolution with the conventional R factor of 0.161. FRase I is a homodimer, having one FMN cofactor per subunit, which is situated at the interface of two subunits. The overall fold can be divided into two domains; 80% of the residues form a rigid core and the remaining, a small flexible domain. The overall core folding is similar to those of an NADPH-dependent flavin reductase of Vibrio harveyi (FRP) and the NADH oxidase of Thermus thermophilus (NOX) in spite of the very low identity in amino acid sequences (10% with FRP and 21% with NOX). 56% of alpha-carbons of FRase I core residues could be superposed onto NOX counterparts with an r.m.s. distance of 1.2 A. The remaining residues have relatively high B-values and may be essential for defining the substrate specificity. Indeed, one of them, Phe124, was found to participate in the binding of dicoumarol through stacking to one of the rings of dicoumarol. Upon binding of dicoumarol, most of the exposed re-face of the FMN cofactor is buried, which is consistent with the ping pong bi bi catalytic mechanism.

Figure 3. (a) The network of hydrogen bonds between the cofactor FMN and protein. The enzyme is drawn by a ball and stick model. Hydrogen atoms are omitted from this Figure for clarity. Each atom is colored according to atom type (carbon of protein in silver, carbon of FMN in yellow). Protein residues and N5 and N1 atoms of FMN are labeled. Hydrogen bonds are indicated with red broken lines. (b) Electron density of FMN and surrounding residues from a 2 F[o]−F[c]map contoured at one σ. The FMN and its phosphate atom as well as some surrounding residues are labeled. In this and all subsequent Figures, the one letter code for amino acid names is used for enhanced clarity.

Residues within 4 Å from the buried half of dicoumarol are also shown and labeled, highlighting hydrophobic interaction with the inhibitor and protein. (b) A chemical structure of dicoumarol.
