Abstract: | A 4Fe–4S]1+ cluster-containing protein activates 2-hydroxyisocaproyl-CoA dehydratase by an ATP-driven electron transfer. The activator has been proposed to change its conformation by MgATP similarly to nitrogenase Fe-protein. Iron chelation by bathophenanthroline removed the reduced 4Fe–4S]1+ cluster from the activator in an ATP-dependent manner (rate, v = 0.128 ± 0.004 min?1; Km = 21 ± 1 μM); with ADP no chelation was observed (v < 0.001 min?1). Chelation of the oxidised 4Fe–4S]2+ cluster occurred faster with ADP (v = 0.34 ± 0.05 min?1) than with ATP (v = 0.132 ± 0.005 min?1). The data indicate that reduction of the activator and binding of ATP induce conformational changes necessary to transfer the electron to the dehydratase. Interaction of both proteins promotes ATP hydrolysis (Km = 0.5 ± 0.1 μM). |
