Title Structural and phylogenetic analysis of rhodobacter capsulatus niff: uncovering general features of nitrogen-Fixation (nif)-Flavodoxins.
Authors I.Pérez-Dorado, A.Bortolotti, N.Cortez, J.A.Hermoso.

PubMed id 23303276
Abstract
Analysis of the crystal structure of NifF from Rhodobacter capsulatus and its homologues reported so far reflects the existence of unique structural features in nif flavodoxins: a leucine at the re face of the isoalloxazine, an eight-residue insertion at the C-terminus of the 50's loop and a remarkable difference in the electrostatic potential surface with respect to non-nif flavodoxins. A phylogenetic study on 64 sequences from 52 bacterial species revealed four clusters, including different functional prototypes, correlating the previously defined as "short-chain" with the firmicutes flavodoxins and the "long-chain" with gram-negative species. The comparison of Rhodobacter NifF structure with other bacterial flavodoxin prototypes discloses the concurrence of specific features of these functional electron donors to nitrogenase.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. The R. capsulatus genomic region around the fpr gene. Arrows indicate direction of transcription. The fpr coding sequence (in black) is located downstream of a gene cluster which is homologous to a bacterial operon involved in cysteine biosynthesis [39]. The N-terminal sequence determined on the purified FPR is highlighted. The 5′ untranslated region contains canonical −10 and −35 consensus sequences, and three RegA boxes centered at −80, −128 and −188 (consensus sequences are bold).
