Iron-dependent formation of ferredoxin and flavodoxin was determined in Anabaena ATCC 29413 and ATCC 29211 by a FPLC procedure. In the first species ferredoxin is replaced by flavodoxin at low iron levels in the vegetative cells only. In the heterocysts from Anabaena ATCC 29151, however, flavodoxin is constitutively formed regardless of the iron supply.Replacement of ferredoxin by flavodoxin had no effect on photosynthetic electron transport, whereas nitrogen fixation was decreased under low iron conditions. As ferredoxin and flavodoxin exhibited the same Km values as electron donors to nitrogenase, an iron-limited synthesis of active nitrogenase was assumed as the reason for inhibited nitrogen fixation. Anabaena ATCC 29211 generally lacks the potential to synthesize flavodoxin. Under iron-starvation conditions, ferredoxin synthesis is limited, with a negative effect on photosynthetic oxygen evolution. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins, also called plant-type ferredoxins, are low-potential redox proteins that are widely distributed in biological systems. In photosynthesis, the plant-type ferredoxins function as the central molecule for distributing electrons from the photolysis of water to a number of ferredox-independent enzymes, as well as to cyclic photophosphorylation electron transfer. This paper reports only the second structure of a [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from a eukaryotic organism in its native form. RESULTS: Ferredoxin from the green algae Chlorella fusca has been purified, characterised, crystallised and its structure determined to 1.4 A resolution - the highest resolution structure published to date for a plant-type ferredoxin. The structure has the general features of the plant-type ferredoxins already described, with conformational differences corresponding to regions of higher mobility. Immunological data indicate that a serine residue within the protein is partially phosphorylated. A slightly electropositive shift in the measured redox potential value, -325 mV, is observed in comparison with other ferredoxins. CONCLUSIONS: This high-resolution structure provides a detailed picture of the hydrogen-bonding pattern around the [2Fe-2S] cluster of a plant-type ferredoxin; for the first time, it was possible to obtain reliable error estimates for the geometrical parameters. The presence of phosphoserine in the protein indicates a possible mechanism for the regulation of the distribution of reducing power from the photosynthetic electron-transfer chain. 相似文献

Purification and properties of ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase from the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria Anabaena variabilis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The isolation and characterization of ferredoxin-NADP+ -oxidoreductase from Anabaena variabilis, a nitrogen-fixing, filamentous cyanobacterium, is described. Purified enzyme was obtained in four steps with a 55% yield and 300-fold purification utilizing chromatographic separations on DEAE-cellulose and Cibacron Blue-Sepharose columns. The enzyme is quite similar but not identical to the spinach enzyme as judged by isoelectric focusing, molecular weight determination, and amino acid composition. N-terminal sequence analysis allowed identification of 28 of the first 33 residues. Alignment with the corresponding sequences from spinach and Spirulina FNR preparations was possible. A higher degree of homology was found with the Spirulina enzyme than with the spinach enzyme. Small differences with the spinach enzyme were also shown by absorption and circular dichroism spectral measurements. Oxidation-reduction potential measurements of the bound FAD coenzyme show an Em = -320 mV at pH 7 for the two-electron process. Complex formation between the reductase and ferredoxin from the same organism was observed by difference absorption spectroscopy with a Kd = 4 microM. Similar Kd and difference absorption properties were observed on complex formation with spinach ferredoxin. 相似文献

Fur (ferric uptake regulator) is a key bacterial protein that regulates iron acquisition and its storage, and modulates the expression of genes involved in the response to different environmental stresses. Although the protein is involved in several regulation mechanisms, and members of the Fur family have been identified in pathogen organisms, the stability and thermodynamic characterization of a Fur protein have not been described. In this work, the stability, thermodynamics and structure of the functional dimeric Fur A from Anabaena sp. PCC 7119 were studied by using computational methods and different biophysical techniques, namely, circular dichroism, fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. The structure, as monitored by circular dichroism and Fourier-transform infrared, was composed of a 40% of alpha-helix. Chemical-denaturation experiments indicated that Fur A folded via a two-state mechanism, but its conformational stability was small with a value of DeltaG = 5.3 +/- 0.3 kcal mol(-1) at 298 K. Conversely, Fur A was thermally a highly stable protein. The high melting temperature (Tm = 352 +/- 5 K), despite its moderate conformational stability, can be ascribed to its low heat capacity change upon unfolding, DeltaCp, which had a value of 0.8 +/- 0.1 kcal mol(-1) K(-1). This small value is probably due to burial of polar residues in the Fur A structure. This feature can be used for the design of mutants of Fur A with impaired DNA-binding properties. 相似文献

Enzyme activity determinations and Western and Northern blot analyses have shown the presence of two catalytically different glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GAPDH) in both vegetative cells and heterocysts of several N(2)-fixing Anabaena strains: (a) the gap2-encoded NAD(P)-dependent GAPDH2 (EC 1.2.1.59), the enzyme involved in the photosynthetic carbon assimilation pathway, which is present at higher levels in vegetative cells, and (b) the gap3-encoded NAD-dependent GAPDH3 (EC 1.2.1.12), presumably involved in carbohydrate anabolism and catabolism, which is the predominant GAPDH in heterocysts. In contrast, the gap1-encoded GAPDH1, which is the other NAD-dependent cyanobacterial GAPDH, is virtually absent in both cell types. These findings are discussed in the context of carbon metabolism of heterocystous N(2)-fixing cyanobacteria. 相似文献

The purification of isolated and intact heterocysts is an essential step in the study and characterisation of their specific proteins. Therefore, a method for very successful heterocyst isolation from filamentous cyanobacteria, as monitored by measuring the presence of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase activity during the isolation procedure has been developed.This is an improvement over the current lysozyme method in which damage could be caused to the heterocysts septum releasing soluble proteins. Frozen filaments should not be used for heterocysts isolation. 相似文献
