TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: A single intersubunit salt bridge affects oligomerization and catalytic activity in a bacterial quinone reductase

YhdA, a thermostable NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase fromBacillus subtil-is, reduces quinones via a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism with a pronounced preference for NADPH. The enzyme occurs as a stable tetramer in solu-tion. The two extended dimer surfaces are packed against each other by a 90 rotation of one dimer with respect to the other. | ỊFEBS Journal A single intersubunit salt bridge affects oligomerization and catalytic activity in a bacterial quinone reductase Alexandra Binter1 Nicole Staunig2 Ilian Jelesarov3 Karl Lohner4 Bruce A.

The enzyme occurs as a stable tetramer in solution. The two extended dimer surfaces are packed against each other by a 90 rotation of one dimer with respect to the other. This assembly is stabilized by the formation of four salt bridges between K109 and D137 of the neighbouring protomers. To investigate the importance of the ion pair contacts the K109L and D137L single replacement variants as well as the K109L D137L and K109D D137K double replacement variants were generated expressed purified crystallized and biochemically characterized. The K109L and D137L variants form dimers instead of tetramers whereas the K109L D137L and K109D D137K .
