摘要: Bacteria integrate CO2 reduction and acetyl coenzyme-A (CoA) synthesis in the Wood-Ljungdal pathway. The acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) active site is a [4Fe4S]-[NiNi] complex (A-cluster). dinickel structure (with proximal, p, distal, d, ions) was studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy ACS variants comprising all three protein domains or only C-terminal domain with A-cluster. Both showed two square-planar Ni(II) sites an OH- bound at Ni(II)p oxidized enzyme H2O Ni(I)p reduced enzyme; Ni(I)p-CO species induced CO incubation Ni(II)-CH3- additional water ligand methyl group donor. These findings render direct effect of N-terminal middle on A-cluster unlikely.
