Viperin, an interferon-inducible antiviral protein, is shown to bind an iron-sulfur cluster, based on iron analysis as well as UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic data. The reduced protein contains a [4Fe-4S](1+) cluster whose g-values are altered upon addition of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), consistent with SAM coordination to the cluster. Incubation of reduced viperin with SAM results in reductive cleavage of SAM to produce 5'-deoxyadenosine (5'-dAdo), a reaction characteristic of the radical SAM superfamily. The 5'-dAdo cleavage product was identified by a combination of HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
