A new twist of rubredoxin function in M. tuberculosis. Bioorg Chem 2021; 109:104721.

Abstract
Electron transfer mediated by metalloproteins drives many biological processes. Rubredoxins are a ubiquitous [1Fe-0S] class of electron carriers that play an important role in bacterial adaptation to changing environmental conditions. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, oxidative and acidic stresses as well as iron starvation induce rubredoxins expression. However, their functions during M. tuberculosis infection are unknown. In the present work, we show that rubredoxin B (RubB) is able to efficiently shuttle electrons from cognate reductases, FprA and FdR to support catalytic activity of cytochrome P450s, CYP124, CYP125, and CYP142, which are important for bacterial viability and pathogenicity. We solved the crystal structure of RubB and characterized the interaction between RubB and CYPs using site-directed mutagenesis. Mutations that not only neutralize single charge but also change the specific residues on the surface of RubB did not dramatically decrease activity of studied CYPs. Together with isothermal calorimetry (ITC) experiments, the obtained results suggest that interactions are transient and not highly specific. The redox potential of RubB is -264 mV vs. Ag/AgCl and the measured extinction coefficients are 9931 M-1cm-1 and 8371 M-1cm-1 at 380 nm and 490 nm, respectively. Characteristic parameters of RubB along with the discovered function might be useful for biotechnological applications. Our findings suggest that a switch from ferredoxins to rubredoxins might be crucial for M. tuberculosis to support CYPs activity during the infection.

Abstract
We have reexamined the Ni EXAFS of oxidized, inactive (as-isolated) and H(2) reduced Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase. Better spatial resolution was achieved by analyzing the data over a 50% wider k-range than was previously available. A lower k(min) was obtained using the FEFF code for phase shifts and amplitudes. A higher k(max) was obtained by removing an interfering Cu signal from the raw spectra using multiple energy fluorescence detection. The larger k-range allowed us to better resolve the Ni-S bond lengths and to define more accurately the Ni-O and Ni-Fe bond lengths. We find that as-isolated, hydrogenase has two Ni-S bonds at approximately 2.2 A, but also 1-2 Ni-S bonds in the 2.35+/-0.05 A range. A Ni-O interaction is evident at 1.91 A. The as-isolated Ni-Fe distance cannot be unambiguously determined. Upon H(2) reduction, two short Ni-S bonds persist at approximately 2.2 A, but the remaining Ni-S bonds lengthen to 2.47+/-0.05 A. Good simulations are obtained with a Ni-Fe distance at 2.52 A, in agreement with crystal structures of the reduced enzyme. Although not evident in the crystal structures, an improvement in the fit is obtained by inclusion of one Ni-O interaction at 2.03 A. Implications of these distances for the spin-state of H(2) reduced H(2)ase are discussed.

Abstract
NADH-rubredoxin oxidoreductase (NROR), a flavoprotein from the obligately anaerobe Clostridium acetobutylicum is encoded by an ORF (nror) of 1140 nucleotides. Whereas primary structure analysis reveals that NROR has amino acid sequence patterns homologous with those involved in FAD and NAD-binding, the enzyme is distantly related to other flavoproteins in the databank. NROR is highly active for reducing clostridial rubredoxin (Rd) especially against C. acetobutylicum Rd with an efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) of 400,000 mM(-1)s(-1). These results suggest that Rd from C. acetobutylicum, C. pasteurianum, C. butyricum, and C. cellulolyticum can be interchanged with each other. Since C. acetobutylicum is the sole Clostridium strain that possesses such an enzyme, possible functions are discussed with regard to Desulfovibrio gigas and Pyrococcus furiosus, the only two other anaerobic systems for which a similar activity was reported, but no gene isolated.

Abstract
The effect of amino acid residues modification of Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase on different activity assays is reported. The first method consisted in the modification of glutamic and aspartic acid residues of the enzyme with ethylenediamine in order to change the polarity of certain regions of the protein surface. The second method consisted in the modification of histidine residues with a Ru complex in order to change the acid-base properties of the histidine residues. The implication of these modifications in the enzyme kinetics has been studied by measuring in parallel the activities of para/ortho hydrogen conversion, deuterium/hydrogen exchange and dyes reduction with hydrogen. Our experimental data support some hypothesis based on the three-dimensional structure of this enzyme: (a) electrostactic interactions between the hydrogenase and the redox partner play an essential role in the kinetics; (b) the histidine ligand and the surrounding acidic residues of the distal [4Fe4S] cluster form the recognition site of the redox partner of the hydrogenase; and (c) histidine residues are involved in the hydron transfer pathway of the hydrogenase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The octaheme cytochrome C3 (M(r) 26,000; cc3) from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway is a dimeric cytochrome made up of two identical subunits, each containing four heme groups. It is involved in the redox transfer chain of sulfate-reducing bacteria, which links the periplasmic oxidation of hydrogen to the cytoplasmic reduction of sulfate. The amino-acid sequence of cc3 shows similarities to that of the tetraheme cytochrome c3 (M(r) 13,000; c3) from the same bacteria. Structural analysis of cc3 forms a basis for understanding the precise roles of the multiheme-containing redox proteins and the reason for the presence of several different multiheme cytochromes in one bacterial strain. RESULTS The crystal structure of cytochrome cc3 has been determined at 2.16 A resolution. The subunits display the c3 structural fold with significant amino-acid substitutions, relative to the tetraheme cytochromes c3, in the regions of the dimer interface. The identical subunits are related by a crystallographic twofold axis, with one heme of each subunit in close contact. The overall structure and the environments of the different heme groups are compared with those of the tetraheme cytochromes c3. CONCLUSIONS A common scheme for interactions between these types of cytochrome and their redox partners involves the interaction of a heme crevice, surrounded by positively charged lysine residues, with acidic residues surrounding the redox partner's functional group. Despite the relatively acidic character of cytochrome cc3, the crevice of one heme is surrounded by a high number of positively charged residues, in the same manner as has been reported for cytochromes c3. The environment of this heme is formed by four flexible surface loops which are variable in length and orientation in the different c3-type cytochromes although the overall structural folds are very similar. It has been proposed that this region, adapted in topology and charge, is the interaction site for physiological partners and is also most likely to be the interaction site in the dimeric cytochrome cc3.

Abstract
The crystal structure of cytochrome c3 (M(r) 13,000) from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (118 residues, four heme groups) has been crystallographically refined to 1.7 A resolution using a simulated annealing method, based on the structure-model at 2.5 A resolution, already published. The final R-factor for 10,549 reflections was 0.198 covering the range from 5.5 to 1.7 A resolution. The individual temperature factors were refined for a total of 1059 protein atoms, together with 126 bound solvent molecules. The structure has been analyzed with respect to its detailed conformational properties, secondary structure features, temperature factor behaviour, bound solvent sites and heme geometry and ligation. The characteristic secondary structures of the polypeptide chain of this molecule are one extended alpha-helix, a short beta-strand and 13 reverse turns. The four heme groups are located in different structural environments, all highly exposed to solvent. The particular structural features of the heme environments are compared to the four hemes of the cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki.

Abstract
The major soluble cytochrome isolated from microaerobically grown cells of Shewanella putrefaciens has been shown to be a novel type of flavocytochrome with fumarate reductase activity. This flavocytochrome, located in the periplasmic fraction of cell extracts, has been purified to homogeneity and shown to contain 4 mol of haem c and 1 mol of non-covalently bound FAD per mol of protein. An M(r) value of 63,800 is estimated from sequence analysis assuming 4 mol of haem/mol of protein. In the presence of the artificial electron donor, reduced methyl viologen, the flavocytochrome catalysed the reduction of fumarate but not that of nitrite, dimethylsulphoxide, trimethylamine-N-oxide or sulphite. The pH optimum was 7.4 with calculated pKa values of 6.8 and 8.0 for contributing catalytic groups. The Km and kcat. values for fumarate reduction were 21 microM and 250 s-1 respectively, whereas the corresponding values for succinate oxidation with 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol as electron carriers were 200 microM and 0.07 s-1 respectively. Mesaconic acid was a competitive inhibitor of fumarate reduction with a Ki of 2 microM. Zymogram staining of polyacrylamide gels with purified protein showed a band of fumarate reductase activity. Polyclonal antibodies, raised to the purified flavocytochrome, were shown to titrate out fumarate reductase activity. We conclude that the physiological role of this enzyme is as a fumarate reductase. Optical absorption spectra of the flavocytochrome indicated that all the haems were of the c-type and gave alpha, beta and gamma peaks at 552.3, 523 and 418 nm in the reduced spectrum with epsilon values of 30.2, 15.9 and 188.2 mM-1.cm-1 respectively. Oxidized spectra showed no 695 nm band that would be indicative of His-Met coordination. Two redox potentials were resolved at -220 mV and -320 mV. The cytochrome was reduced by formate in the presence of particulate cell fractions. The relationship of this cytochrome to other low-potential flavocytochromes c is discussed.

Abstract
The first three-dimensional structure of a dimeric, octa-heme cytochrome c3 (M(r) 26000) from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway, established at 2.2 A resolution, is briefly presented and compared to the known 3-D-structures of different C3-type tetraheme cytochromes, in order to contribute to a better understanding of the function of multiheme clusters and of the role of conserved amino acids implicated in possible electron transfer pathways. The dimeric protein crystallizes in the space group P3(1)21 with a = 73.01 A, c = 61.81 A and the asymmetric unit contains one monomer subunit, the dimer being generated by the crystallographic two-fold axis. The 3-D-structure was solved using the molecular replacement method with a model based on the structure of the tetraheme cytochrome c3 (M(r) 13000) from D desulfuricans Norway, presently refined at 1.7 A resolution. The monomeric subunit has the same overall fold as all cytochromes c3 (M(r) 13000). Moreover, the heme core of all examined cytochromes c3 is highly conserved, but differences appear concerning the heme environments and the histidines, axial ligands of the heme-iron atoms.

Abstract
The amino acid sequence of a rubredoxin from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (strain 27774) has been determined. Comparison with rubredoxins from other species reveals pervasive homology, including the regions known to provide the cysteine ligands to the iron atom in several rubredoxins. Neither an extra cysteinyl residue nor a unique histidyl residue in the new sequence is located in the sequence in such a way that, by homology, a functional role in the structure is suggested.

Abstract
An oxygen-labile carbon monoxide dehydrogenase was purified to at least 98% homogeneity from fructose-grown cells of Acetobacterium woodii. Gel filtration and electrophoresis experiments gave molecular weights of 480,000 and 153,000, respectively, of the active enzyme. The molecular weights for the subunits are 80,000 and 68,000; the subunits occur in equal proportion. The small subunit of the A. woodii enzyme differs in size from that of the Clostridium thermoaceticum enzyme; however, the large subunits are similar. The specific activity of the A. woodii enzyme, measured at 30 degrees C and pH 7.6, is 500 mumol of CO oxidized min-1 mg-1 with 20 mM methyl viologen as the electron acceptor. Analysis revealed (number per dimer) iron (9), acid-labile sulfide (12), nickel (1.4), and magnesium or zinc (1). This metal content is quite similar to that of the C. thermoaceticum enzyme (Ragsdale et al., J. Biol. Chem. 258:2364-2369, 1983). The nickel as well as the iron-sulfur clusters are redox-active, as was found for the C. thermoaceticum enzyme (Ragsdale et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 108:658-663, 1982). CO can reduce and CO2 can oxidize the iron-sulfur clusters. The enzyme is inhibited by cyanide, but CO2 in the presence of reduced methyl viologen or CO alone can reverse or prevent this inhibition. Several ferredoxins, flavodoxin, and rubredoxin and some artificial electron carriers were tested for their relative rates of reaction with the CO dehydrogenases from A. woodii, C. thermoaceticum, and Clostridium formicoaceticum. Rubredoxin was by far the most reactive acceptor and is proposed to be the primary natural electron carrier for the acetogenic CO dehydrogenases.
