Characterization of the iron–sulfur clusters in the nitrogenase‐like reductase CfbC/D required for coenzyme F430 biosynthesis
Abstract: Coenzyme F430 is a nickel-containing tetrapyrrole, serving as the prosthetic group of methyl-coenzyme M reductase in methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea. During coenzyme F430 biosynthesis, the tetrapyrrole macrocycle is reduced by the nitrogenase-like CfbC/D system consisting of the reductase component CfbC and the catalytic component CfbD. Both components are homodimeric proteins, each carrying a [4Fe-4S] cluster. Here, the ligands of the [4Fe-4S] clusters of CfbC2 and CfbD2 were identified revealing an all cysteine ligation of both clusters. Moreover, the midpoint potentials of the [4Fe-4S] clusters were determined to be −256 mV for CfbC2 and −407 mV for CfbD2. These midpoint potentials indicate that the consecutive thermodynamically unfavorable 6 individual “up-hill” electron transfers to the organic moiety of the Ni2+-sirohydrochlorin a,c-diamide substrate require an intricate interplay of ATP-binding, hydrolysis, protein complex formation and release to drive product formation, which is a common theme in nitrogenase-like systems
