摘要: Electron transfer in nitrogenase involves a gating process initiated by MgATP (magnesium adenosine triphosphate) binding to Fe-protein. The redox site, an 4Fe:4S cluster, is structurally separated from the site. For hydrolysis be coupled electron transfer, signal transduction mechanism proposed that similar guanosine triphosphatase proteins. Based on three-dimensional structure of Fe-protein, Asp125 likely part putative path. Altered Fe-protein with Glu replacing Asp has been prepared and retains ability for initial nucleotide-dependent conformational change. However, either MgADP or can induce shift Mg nucleotide no longer essential.
