Abstract excerpt
We have used site-directed mutagenesis, EPR spectroscopy, redox potentiometry, and protein crystallography to monitor assembly of the FS0 [4Fe-4S] cluster and molybdo-bis(pyranopterin guanine dinucleotide) cofactor (Mo-bisPGD) of the Escherichia coli nitrate reductase A (NarGHI) catalytic subunit (NarG). Cys and Ser mutants of NarG-His(49) both lack catalytic activity, with only the former assembling FS0 and...
