Viperin, an interferon-inducible antiviral protein, is shown to bind an iron-sulfur cluster, based on iron analysis as well as UV-Vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic data. The reduced protein contains a 4Fe-4S cluster whose g-values are altered upon addition of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), consistent with SAM coordination to the cluster. Incubation of reduced viperin with SAM results in reductive cleavage of SAM to produce 5'-deoxyadenosine (5'-dAdo), a reaction characteristic of the radical SAM superfamily. The 5'-dAdo cleavage product was identified by a combination of HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.
Viperin,一种干扰素诱导的抗病毒蛋白,被证明可以结合铁硫簇,这是基于铁分析以及紫外可见和电子顺磁共振波谱数据得出的结论。还原后的蛋白含有一个4Fe-4S簇,其 g 值在添加 S-腺苷甲硫氨酸(SAM)后发生改变,这与 SAM 与簇的配位一致。还原型 viperin 与 SAM 孵育会导致 SAM 的还原裂解,产生 5'-脱氧腺苷(5'-dAdo),这是自由基 SAM 超家族的特征反应。通过 HPLC 和质谱分析的组合,鉴定了 5'-dAdo 裂解产物。
