The Catalytic Subunit of Escherichia coli Nitrate Reductase A Contains a Novel [4Fe-4S] Cluster with a High-Spin Ground State

We have used EPR spectroscopy, redox potentiometry, and protein crystallography to characterize the [4Fe-4S] cluster (FS0) of the Escherichia coli nitrate reductase A (NarGHI) catalytic subunit (NarG). FS0 is clearly visible in the crystal structure of NarGHI [Bertero, M. G., et al. (2003) Nat. Stru...

Zusammenfassung:We have used EPR spectroscopy, redox potentiometry, and protein crystallography to characterize the [4Fe-4S] cluster (FS0) of the Escherichia coli nitrate reductase A (NarGHI) catalytic subunit (NarG). FS0 is clearly visible in the crystal structure of NarGHI [Bertero, M. G., et al. (2003) Nat. Struct. Biol. 10, 681−687] but has novel coordination comprising one His residue and three Cys residues. At low temperatures (
