Oxidation of the 8Fe ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum with potassium ferricyanide, followed by purification on Sephadex G-25 and DE-23 cellulose columns, gives a protein with an intense EPR signal at g 2.01. The low-temperature magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of this species are different from those of the oxidized high-potential iron protein from Chromatium but identical with the spectra of ferredoxin II from Desulphovibrio gigas. On reduction of the ferricyanide-treated ferredoxin with sodium dithionite only a weak EPR signal with g factors of 2.05, 1.94 and 1.89 is obtained. The low-temperature MCD spectra are strongly temperature dependent with a form similar to those of dithionite-reduced D. gigas ferredoxin II. The MCD magnetization curves are dominated by a species with ground-state effective g factors of g ı 8.0 and g⊥ 0.0, which are also similar to those determined recently by low-temperature MCD spectroscopy for D. gigas ferredoxin II. The MCD characteristics are quite different from those of dithionite-reduced ferredoxin from Cl. pasteurianum, untreated with ferricyanide. This establishes the close similarity of the iron-sulphur clusters in ferricyanide-treated Cl. pasteurianum ferredoxin and in D. gigas ferredoxin II. The latter is known to contain a single 3Fe centre, similar to that observed in ferredoxin I from Azotobacter vinelandii by X-ray crystallography. Therefore, it is concluded that the [4Fe-4S] clusters of Cl. pasteurianum ferredoxin are converted to 3Fe clusters on oxidation with ferricyanide.
