Revised Manuscript Received October 14, 1993* abstract: Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), widely found in nature, serves as the redox cofactor in bacterial methanol dehydrogenase (MEDH), a heterotetrameric enzyme that oxidizes methanol to formaldehyde. The refined structure of MEDH at 2.4-Á resolution, based on recently obtained amino acid sequence data, reveals that the PQQ, located in a central channel of the disk-shaped protein, is sandwiched between a Trp side chain and a very unusual vicinal disulfide. A Ca2+ ion forms a bridge between PQQ and the protein molecule, very close to a putative substrate binding pocket. The vicinal disulfide may form during PQQ incorporation and possibly act to hold the latter in place.Methanol dehydrogenase (MEDH), 1 a quinoprotein of molecular mass 140 kDa located in the periplasm of many gram negative methylotrophic bacteria (Anthony, 1993), catalyzes the oxidation of methanol and otherprimary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. It is an «2/82 tetramer of approximate subunit molecular masses 62 and 8 kDa, respectively, and contains 2 mol of the prosthetic group pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) per tetramer.
