Dark-operative protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase, a nitrogenase-like enzyme, contains two [4Fe-4S] clusters, one in the L-protein ((BchL)(2)) and the other in the NB-protein ((BchN-BchB)(2)). The reduced NB-cluster in the NB-protein, which is ligated by 1Asp/3Cys residues, showed a broad S = 3/2 electron paramagnetic resonance signal that is rather rare in [4Fe-4S] clusters. A 4Cys-ligated NB-cluster in the mutated variant BchB-D36C protein, in which the Asp36 was replaced by a Cys, gave a rhombic normal S = 1/2 signal and lost the catalytic activity. The results suggest that Asp36 contributes to the low redox potential necessary to reduce protochlorophyllide. (C) 2010 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B. V.
