IspG is a 4Fe-4S protein that carries out an essential reduction step in isoprenoid biosynthesis. Using electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) spectroscopies on labeled samples, we have specifically assigned the hyperfine interactions in a reaction intermediate. These results help clarify the nature of the reaction intermediate, supporting a direct interaction between the unique fourth Fe in the cluster and C2 and O3 of the ligand.
IspG 是一种含有 4 个铁原子和 4 个硫原子的蛋白,在异戊烯基生物合成中执行一个重要的还原步骤。通过对标记样品进行电子-核双共振(ENDOR)和超精细亚层相关(HYSCORE)光谱分析,我们专门对反应中间体中的超精细相互作用进行了分配。这些结果有助于阐明反应中间体的性质,支持簇中独特的第四个铁原子与配体的 C2 和 O3 之间的直接相互作用。
