Abstract:

The crystal structure of a major oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase (NfsA) from Escherichia coli has been solved by the molecular replacement method at 1.7-A resolution. This enzyme is a homodimeric flavoprotein with one FMN cofactor per monomer and catalyzes reduction of nitrocompounds using NADPH. The structure exhibits an alpha + beta-fold, and is comprised of a central domain and an excursion domain. The overall structure of NfsA is similar to the NADPH-dependent flavin reductase of Vibrio harveyi, despite definite difference in the spatial arrangement of residues around the putative substrate-binding site. On the basis of the crystal structure of NfsA and its alignment with the V. harveyi flavin reductase and the NADPH-dependent nitro/flavin reductase of Bacillus subtilis, residues Arg(203) and Arg(208) of the loop region between helices I and J in the vicinity of the catalytic center FMN is predicted as a determinant for NADPH binding. The R203A mutant results in a 33-fold increase in the K(m) value for NADPH indicating that the side chain of Arg(203) plays a key role in binding NADPH possibly to interact with the 2'-phosphate group.

Complex Evidence:

Authors claim that the homodimeric NAD(P)H nitroreductase is a highly intertwined dimer with the FMN binding site lying at the dimer interface (PMID:18241886). Other structures belonging to the nitroreductase family also have an extensive interaction surface wherein a large hydrophobic solvent-accessible surface becomes buried upon dimer formation, suggesting that the monomers would be unstable on their own (PMID:16229462, PMID:19436071). Domain-swapping is also typical, where the extended C-terminal region extensively interacts with the core domain of the neighbouring monomer, forming an interlocked dimer (PMID:34473996, PMID:19436071, PMID:8885832).

Surface and contacts features:

Related Structure(s) Structures from the PDB that contain the same number of proteins, and the proteins from the two structures show a sufficient degree of pairwise similarity, i.e. they belong to the same UniRef90 cluster (the full proteins exhibit at least 90% sequence identity) and convey roughly the same region to their respective interactions (the two regions from the two proteins share a minimum of 70% overlap).
