Abstract
The putative outer membrane c-type cytochrome OmcF from Geobacter sulfurreducens contains a single haem group and shows homology to soluble cytochromes c(6), a class of electron-transfer proteins that are typically found in cyanobacterial photosynthetic electron-transfer chains. OmcF was overexpressed heterologously in Escherichia coli as an N-terminal Strep-tag II fusion protein and isolated using streptactin-affinity chromatography followed by size-exclusion chromatography. The structure was solved by Fe SAD using data collected to a resolution of 1.86 A on a rotating copper-anode X-ray generator. In the crystal, packing interactions in one dimension were exclusively mediated through the Strep-tag II sequence. The tag and linker regions were in contact with three further monomers of OmcF, leading to a well defined electron-density map for this engineered and secondary-structure-free region of the molecule.
Figure 4.
Figure 4 Stereo representation of the cytochrome c[6] domain of G. sulfurreducens OmcF. The single haem group of OmcF is covalently linked to the peptide chain via a bonding motif with sequence CAGCH (residues 35-39). His39 functions as a proximal axial ligand to the haem Fe atom, while the distal axial ligand is Met79. Every tenth residue in the sequence is marked.

Figure 7 Stereo representation showing the interactions of the linker (blue) and Strep-tag II region (red) with three neighbouring monomers as detailed in Table 3-. Hydrogen-bonding interactions within the linker/tag are shown in blue and interactions with other monomers in red. Five of the seven observed hydrogen-bonding interactions are formed by the Strep-tag II and the other two are formed by the linker region.
