Revised Manuscript Received March 23, 1994® abstract: A model for the solution structure of oxidized putidaredoxin (Pdx), a 106-residue globular protein containing a Fe2S2 cluster, has been determined using homonuclear NMR methods. Pdx is the First of the class of Fe2S2Cys4 ferredoxins which act as electron-transfer partners for P-450monooxygenases to be structurally characterized, and no crystal structure has been determined for Pdx or for any closely homologous protein. Pdx is the physiological redox partner of cytochrome P-450cam-A total of 878 NOE distance constraints, 66< j> angular constraints derived from NH-CaH coupling constants, and five paramagnetic broadening constraints were used in simulated annealing structural refinements to obtain a family of structures with pairwise rms deviations of 1.14 A for backbone atoms and 1.80 A for all non-hydrogen atoms. Paramagnetic broadening of resonances within a ca. 8-A radius of the metal cluster prevents the use of NMR-derived constraints in this region of the protein; structural constraints used to model the environment of the metal cluster were obtained from site-directed mutagenesis and model compounds and by comparison with known ferredoxin structures. Pdx retains a similar folding topologyto other structurally characterized Fe2S2Cys4 ferredoxins but differs from the other ferredoxins in containing a significantly more compact structure in the C-terminal half of the protein.Electron transfer in living organisms must be tightly regulated in both space and time in order to prevent “short circuits”, that is, rapid equilibration across chemical potential gradients. The mechanisms involved in such regulation are not well understood and are the subject of much current debate (McLendon, 1988; Thomson, 1991). Kinetic and mechanistic studies have provided much information on biological electron transfer (Moser et al., 1992; Beratan et al., 1992), but structural data on the proteins involved are critical if an understanding of the mechanism (s) of electron transfer at the molecular level is to be gained.
