Systematic studies on the effect of concentrations of PEG 8000,MgCl 2, NaCl,Tris and buffer pH on the crystallization and crystal growth of the protein showed that the protein could not be crystallized in lower concentrations of the chemicals and lower buffer pH. A large amount of smaller crystals of the protein appeared in a week with gradual increasing in the chemical concentrations and pH≥8.0. When the chemical concentrations were further increased, the time for crystallization was increased and a few high grade crystals of larger size were formed. If the concentrations of the chemicals were continuously increased, many crystals with smaller size, and, sometimes of poor quality appeared again and eventually ceased to produce any crystals. The optimal concentration for each of the above mentioned chemicals varies with other variable factors. Only one bigger crystal (both of the longest two sides: 0.16 mm) could be obtained in a hanging drop of protein sample when the concentrations of PEG 8000, MgCl 2, NaCl,Tris and protein were kept at 1.86%, 300 mmol/L, 400 mmol/L, 53 mmol/L and 4.64 g/L , respectively, with Tris buffer pH 8.2.展开更多

The analysis by SDS-PAGE showed that the Delta nif EAv1 was similar to OP MoFe protein (Av1) of A. vinelandii in the kinds and molecular weights of subunits (alpha and beta subunit). When complemented with nitrogenase Fe protein (M), the A nif EAv1 had hardly any proton-reduction activity, but could be significantly activated by FeMoco extracted from OP Av1. After the Delta nif E Av1 was treated with an excess o-phenanthroline (o-phen) and chromatographied on Sephadex G-25 column under atmosphere of Ar, Delta nif E Av1(C) was obtained. In the presence of both Av2 and MgATP regeneration system, the Delta nif EAv1(C), rather than A nif EAv1, was significantly activated in vitro by a reconstituent solution containing Mn which composed of KMnO4, ferric homocitrate, Na2S, Na2S2O4 (DT) and dithiothreitol (DTT). But in the absence of MgATP or Av2, the activation of Delta nifE Av1(C) did not happen. It indicates that activation of Delta nif EAv1 by RS-Mn requires the pretreatment with o-phen and the simultaneous presence of Av2 and MgATP.展开更多

The structure, IR, EPR and cyclic voltammogram are described and discussed. MoFe_3S_4(C_4H_8dtc)_5 was also obtained from the conversion of linear cluster Fe(DMF)_6[(FeCl_2)_2MoS_4] in the presence of C_4H_8dtc NH_4. Both clusters MoFe_3S_4(C_4H_8dtc)_4·2C_2H_5CN and WFe_3S_4(C_4H_8dtc)_5·2DMF crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a=12.544(2), (Mo-cluster), 12.533(4) (W-cluster); b=20.478(4), 20.121(6); c=19.582(7), 19.659(2);β=102.82(2), 102.96(3)°; and Z=4, 4. Their structures were refined to R=0.057 and 0.064 with use of 2690 and 2179 reflections (ι>3Q(I)), respectively. Many similarities in structure for Mo and W clusters indicate that both Mo and W play a very similar role in the clusters.展开更多

Compared with MoFe protein purified from wild-type strain OP (OP Av1), ΔnifE Av1 had the same subunits composition, and had immune reaction with antibody to OP Av1, but its relative mobility in anaerobic native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was a little larger than that of OP Av1. Metal analysis showed that Mo and Fe contents of ΔnifE Av1 both apparently decreased. When complemented with OP Fe protein, ΔnifE Av1 had no C2H2-reduction activity, but it could be in vitro activated by FeMoco extracted from OP Av1. The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of ΔnifE Av1 at ~450 nm was similar to that of OP Av1, while the EPR signal at g≈3.7 was absolutely silent, and the signal intensities at g≈4.3 and 2.0 decreased by 75% and 50%, respectively. The results indicated that ΔnifE Av1 purified from DJ35 was a FeMoco-deficient but P-cluster-con- taining MoFe protein.展开更多

The redox properties and the structure of ligands as well as the stoichiometry of reactants have obvious effects upon the core oxidation state and the structure of products. It is indicated that the self-assembly reaction may pass through a combination process oflinear cluster intermediates having structural unit (M,M'=Mo) Fe).展开更多

When complemented with nltrogenase Fe protein (Av2), AnifZ Av1 had partial activity and both nifB-Avl and △nifE Av1 had hardly any activity, but could be obviously activated by FeMoco extracted from wild-type MoFe protein (OP Av1) or △nifZ Av1. After being Incubated with excess O-phenanthrollne (O-phen) for 150 mln at 30 ℃ and subjected to chromatography on a Sephadex G-25 column In an Ar atmosphere, nifB- Av1C, △nifE Av1C and △nifZ Av1C were obtained, respectively. Based on a calculation of Fe atoms In the Ophen-Fe compound with ε 512nm = 11 100, lost Fe atoms of nifB-Av1, △nifE Av1 and △nifZ Av1 were estimated to be 1.35, 2.89 and 8.44 per molecule of protein, respectively. As a result of the Fe loss, △nifZ Av1 loses Its original activity. In the presence of both MgATP and Av2, these Fe-loslng proteins, but not the original proteins untreated with O-phen, could be significantly activated by reconstltuent solution (RS) composed of dlthlothreltol, ferric homocltrate, Na2S and Na2MoO4, or K2CrO4, or KMnO4. But In the absence of MgATP or Av2, the activation did not occur, with the exception that △nifZ AvlC was partially activated, and the activity was only 17%. These findings Indicate that: (I) △nifZ Avl with half P-cluster content Is somewhat different from FeMoco-deflclent nifB-Avl and ,△nifE Av1 with respect to protein conformation either before or after treatment with O-phen; (11) full activation of these proteins with RS requires pretreatment with O-phen and the simultaneous presence of MgATP and Av2.展开更多
