摘要
棕色固氮菌(Azotobactervinelandi)钼铁蛋白经邻菲口罗啉和O2处理后,缺失一部分FeMoco和Pcluster,并失去大部分活性。高柠檬酸铁、Na2S和二硫苏糖醇(DTT)分别与K2CrO4、KMnO4和Na2MoO4按一定比例混合的具有不同颜色的重组液,均可显著激活失活的钼铁蛋白;然而,除DTT可略提高失活蛋白的活性外,其它化合物或缺一、二种化合物的混合液均无激活能力。含99Mo重组液与失活蛋白重组后的微分扰动角关联测定显示,该蛋白中的41%的99Mo的状态与克氏肺炎杆菌99MoFe蛋白中的99Mo相似,表明这种激活主要是以金属原子簇含量恢复为基础的。由此可推论出,含Mn或Cr的重组液,通过与失活钼铁蛋白重组得到含Mn或Cr的固氮酶是可能的。
By treating the reduced MoFe protein from Azotobacter vinelandii with ophenanthroline and O2, an inactive protein partially deficient in both FeMoco and Pcluster could be obtained. The inactive protein could be reactivated by the reconstituent solutions of different colours which were prepared from mixture in different proportions of ferric homocitrate, Na2S and dithiothreitol (DTT) with K2CrO4, KMnO4 and Na2MoO4, respectively, the inactive protein could be somewhat reactivated by DTT but not by the other compounds or their mixtures which were deficient in one or two of the above compounds. 99Mo was found in the reconstituted protein of the inactive MoFe protein with a reconstituent solution containing 99Mo. Its measurement of differential perturbed angular correlation indicated that 41% of 99Mo in the reconstituted protein were in a state similar to that of 99Mo in 99MoFe protein from K. pneumoniae. The results showed that the reactivation of the inactive MoFe protein was mainly based on the restoration of its metallocluster content. It seemed to be reasonable to postulate that Mn or Crcontaining nitrogenase could be obtained likewise by the reconstitution of the inactive protein with the Mn or Crcontaining reconstituent solution .
