STRUCTURE OF A THIOREDOXIN-LIKE [2FE-2S] FERREDOXIN FROM AQUIFEX AEOLICUS
Overview
The 2.3 A resolution crystal structure of a [2Fe-2S] cluster containing, ferredoxin from Aquifex aeolicus reveals a thioredoxin-like fold that is, novel among iron-sulfur proteins. The [2Fe-2S] cluster is located near the, surface of the protein, at a site corresponding to that of the active-site, disulfide bridge in thioredoxin. The four cysteine ligands are located, near the ends of two surface loops. Two of these ligands can be, substituted by non-native cysteine residues introduced throughout a, stretch of the polypeptide chain that forms a protruding loop extending, away from the cluster. The presence of homologs of this ferredoxin as, components of more complex anaerobic and aerobic electron transfer systems, indicates that this is a versatile fold for biological redox processes.
