dc.description.abstract | The high-potential irondashsulfur protein (HiPIP) from Chromatium vinosum contains a cubane prosthetic group that shuttles between the [4Fe-4S]3+,2+ states. We find that the EPR spectra from this protein can be explained as a sum of two components, a major one with g=2.02; 2.04; 2.12, and a minor one with g=2.04; 2.07; ~2.13. In the presence of 0.1-2.0 M NaCl, freezing induces polymerization of the protein (presumably dimers), which is detected as intercluster spindashspin interaction in the EPR. The observed spindashspin interactions are interpreted as being due to two very similar dimeric structures in an approx. 1:2 ratio. Computer simulation of the X- and Q-band EPR spectra shows that the z-components of the g-tensors in each dimer pair must be co-linear, with center-to-center distances between the clusters of ~ 13 A and ~ 16 A. Inspection of possible dimeric structures of C. vinosum HiPIP by standard molecular graphics procedures revealed that the Fe/S cluster is exposed toward a flattened surface and is accessible to solvent. Moreover, the Fe/S clusters in two HiPIP molecules can easily achieve a center-to-center distance of ~ 14 A when approaching along a common 3-fold axis that extends through the S4 sulfur atom of the cubane; the z-component of the EPR g-tensor is co-linear with this symmetry axis. | en_US |
