摘要
A new rubredoxin from the sulphate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuvicans ATCC 27774, grown with nitrate as terminal electron acceptor, was isolated and characterised, The protein is an 8.5 kDa monomer containing one iron atom per molecule, with a reduction potential of 25 +/- 5 mV at pH 7.6. Like the recombinant Rdl protein from D. vulgaris, expressed in Escherichia coli [Lumpio, H.L., Shenvi, N.V., Garg, R.P., Summers. A.O. and Kurtz, D.M., J. Bacteriol. 179 (1997) 4607-1615], it contains an unusual spacing of four amino acids between the first two of the iron coordinating cysteinyl residues. This difference is reflected in the structure of the iron centre, as observed by visible and EPR spectroscopies. All together, these features make these proteins the first members of a new family of rubredoxins. (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
