Escherichia coli HypC plays an important role in the maturation process of, the pre-maturated HycE, the large subunit of hydrogenase 3. It serves as, an iron transfer as well as a chaperone protein during the maturation, process of pre-HycE, and interacts with both HypD and HycE. The N-terminal, cysteine residue of HypC plays a key role in the protein-protein, interactions. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of E. coli, HypC, the first solution structure of HupF/HypC family. Our result, demonstrates that E. coli HypC consists of a typical OB-fold beta-barrel, with two C-terminal helixes. Sequence alignment and structural comparison, reveal that the hydrophobic region on the surface of E. coli HypC, as well, as the highly flexible C-terminal helixes, may involve in the interactions, of E. coli HypC with other proteins.
