Role for the nitrogenase MoFe protein alpha-subunit in FeMo-cofactor binding and catalysis.

Nature - 11 Jan 1990

Scott D J, May H D, Newton W E, Brigle K E, Dean D R

Abstract excerpt

Two components constitute Mo-dependent nitrogenase (EC 1.18.6.1)--the Fe protein (a homodimer encoded by nifH) and the MoFe protein (an alpha 2 beta 2 tetramer encoded by nifDK). The MoFe protein provides the substrate-binding site and probably contains six prosthetic groups of two types--four Fe-S centres and two Fe- and Mo-containing cofactors. To determine the distribution and catalytic function of these...
