Abstract
Crystal structures of polypeptide deformylase (PDF) of Escherichia coli with nickel(II) replacing the native iron(II) have been solved with chloride and formate as metal ligands. The chloro complex is a model for the correct protonation state of the hydrolytic hydroxo ligand and the protonated status of the Glu133 side chain as part of the hydrolytic mechanism. The ambiguity that recently some PDFs have been identified with Zn(2+) ion as the active-site centre whereas others are only active with Fe(2+) (or Co(2+), Ni(2+) is discussed with respect to Lewis acid criteria of the metal ion and substrate activation by the CD loop.

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Figure 1. a, Omit map of Met-Ala-Ser in the PDF−Ni/MAS structure contoured at 1 . Figure prepared with BobScript^25. b, Stereo-view of superimposed C -traces of the three crystallographically independent copies of peptide deformylase in complex with the reaction product Met-Ala-Ser. The numbers refer to amino acid residues. The transformations for optimal superposition were determined from equivalent C -atoms using molecule A as a reference and applied to the Ni^2+ ion (marked as Ni) and the peptide as well. Molecule complexes A, B, C are shown in green, magenta, blue, respectively. c, Active site of PDF−Ni (monomer A) with bound catalytic product Met-Ala-Ser, ordered water molecules W1, W2 and the Ni^2+ ion. d, A hypothetical model of PDF with bound substrate formyl-Met-Ala-Ser.

Figure 2. Peptide deformylase in complex with the reaction product Met-Ala-Ser. a, Peptide binding scheme; Gly 45, Glu 88, Gly 89, His 132 and Glu 133 are conserved residues. Dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds. Mean distances between donor and acceptor atoms as observed in the three crystallographically independent monomers are given in Å . The distance between the N-terminal amino group of the peptide to the Ni^2+-ion is 3.9 Å. b, Protein atoms (white, carbon; red, oxygen; dark blue, nitrogen; green, sulphur) and catalytic metal (magenta, Ni^2+) are depicted as space-filling spheres. Met-Ala-Ser is in ball-and-stick representation with carbon atoms and bonds colored yellow. Water molecules W1, W2 are shown as small light blue spheres. Figure prepared using MOLSCRIPT^26 and Raster3D^27.
