Abstract

[Fe]-hydrogenase is one of three types of enzymes known to activate H(2). Crystal structure analysis recently revealed that its active site iron is ligated square-pyramidally by Cys176-sulfur, two CO, an "unknown" ligand and the sp(2)-hybridized nitrogen of a unique iron-guanylylpyridinol-cofactor. We report here on the structure of the C176A mutated enzyme crystallized in the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT). It suggests an iron center octahedrally coordinated by one DTT-sulfur and one DTT-oxygen, two CO, the 2-pyridinol's nitrogen and the 2-pyridinol's 6-formylmethyl group in an acyl-iron ligation. This result led to a re-interpretation of the iron ligation in the wild-type.
