The availability of high-intensity synchrotron facilities, technological advances in data-collection techniques and improved data-reduction and crystallographic software have ushered in a new era in high-throughput macromolecular crystallography. Here, the de novo automated crystal structure determination at 1.28 A resolution of an NAD(P)H-dependent FMN reductase flavoprotein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01-derived protein Q9I4D4 using the anomalous signal from an unusually small number of S atoms is reported. Although this protein lacks the flavodoxin key fingerprint motif [(T/S)XTGXT], it has been confirmed to bind flavin mononucleotide and the binding site was identified via X-ray crystallography. This protein contains a novel flavin mononucleotide-binding site GSLRSGSYN, which has not been previously reported. Detailed statistics pertaining to sulfur phasing and other factors contributing to structure determination are discussed. Structural comparisons of the apoenzyme and the protein complexed with flavin mononucleotide show conformational changes on cofactor binding. NADPH-dependent activity has been confirmed with biochemical assays.
高强度同步加速器设施的出现、数据收集技术的技术进步以及改进的数据处理和晶体学软件,开创了高通量大分子晶体学的新纪元。本文报道了利用来自异常少量硫原子的反常信号,对源自铜绿假单胞菌PA01的蛋白质Q9I4D4的NAD(P)H依赖性FMN还原酶黄素蛋白进行1.28埃分辨率的从头自动晶体结构测定。尽管该蛋白质缺乏黄素氧还蛋白关键指纹基序[(T/S)XTGXT],但已证实其能结合黄素单核苷酸,并通过X射线晶体学确定了结合位点。该蛋白质含有一个新的黄素单核苷酸结合位点GSLRSGSYN,此前尚未见报道。文中讨论了与硫原子相位及其他有助于结构测定的因素相关的详细统计数据。脱辅基酶与结合黄素单核苷酸的蛋白质复合物的结构比较显示辅因子结合时的构象变化。通过生化分析证实了NADPH依赖性活性。
