An electron-transfer path through an extended disulfide relay system: the case of the redox protein ALR.
(2012) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 134: 1442-5
PMID: 22224850
Abstract:
The oxidative folding mechanism in the intermembrane space of human mitochondria underpins a disulfide relay system consisting of the import receptor Mia40 and the homodimeric FAD-dependent thiol oxidase ALR. The flavoprotein ALR receives two electrons per subunit from Mia40, which are then donated through one-electron reactions to two cytochrome c molecules, thus mediating a switch from two-electron to one-electron transfer. We dissect here the mechanism of the electron flux within ALR, characterizing at the atomic level the ALR intermediates that allow electrons to rapidly flow to cytochrome c. The intermediate critical for the electron-transfer process implies the formation of a specific inter-subunit disulfide which exclusively allows electron flow from Mia40 to FAD. This finding allows us to present a complete model for the electron-transfer pathway in ALR.

Evidence demonstrating that the participating proteins are unstructured prior to the interaction and their folding is coupled to binding. Representative domain in related structures: ERV/ALR sulfhydryl oxidase domain
Evidence level: Insufficient evidence (candidate)
Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.
Complex Evidence:
There is no information on the stability/disorder of the monomeric forms of FAD-linked sulfhydryl oxidases. The wild-type protein is a dimer in solution (analytical equilibrium ultracentrifugation) (PMID:19576902). The, large, hydrophobic interface is made up of two longer, nearly antiparallel helices per monomer that mediate helix packing interactions to form the interface.

Surface and contacts features:
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).
