Among the 118 genes upregulated byPseudomonas aeruginosain response to iron starvation [Ochsner, U. A., Wilderman, P. J., Vasil, A. I., and Vasil, M. L. (2002)Mol. Microbiol.45, 1277−1287], we focused on the products of the two genes encoding electron transfer proteins, as a means of identifying the redox partners of the heme oxygenase (pa-HO) expressed under low-iron stress conditions. Biochemical and spectroscopic investigations demonstrated that thebfdgene encodes a 73-amino acid protein (pa-Bfd) that incorporates a [2Fe-2S]2+/+center, whereas thefprgene encodes a 258-residue NADPH-dependent ferredoxin reductase (pa-FPR) that utilizes FAD as a cofactor. In vitro reconstitution ofpa-HO catalytic activity with the newly characterized proteins led to the surprising observation thatpa-FPR efficiently supports the catalytic cycle ofpa-HO, without the need of a ferredoxin. In comparison, electron transfer frompa-Bfd topa-HO is sluggish, which strongly argues against the possibility that the seven electrons needed bypa-HO to degrade biliverdin are transferred from NADPH topa-HO in a ferredoxin (Bfd)-dependent manner. Given thatpa-HO functions to release iron from exogenous heme acquired under iron-starvation conditions, the use of a flavoenzyme rather than an iron−sulfur center-containing protein to support heme degradation is an efficient use of resources in the cell. The crystal structure ofpa-FPR (1.6 Å resolution) showed that its fold is comparable that of the superfamily of ferredoxin reductases and most similar to the structure ofAzotobacter vinelandiiFPR andEscherichia coliflavodoxin reductase. The latter two enzymes interact with distinct redox partners, a ferredoxin and a flavodoxin, respectively. Hence, findings reported herein extend the range of redox partners recognized by the fold ofpa-FPR to include a heme oxygenase (pa-HO).
