Characterization of the flavin reductase gene (fre) of Escherichia coli and construction of a plasmid for overproduction of the enzyme.

The enzyme NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase (flavin reductase) catalyzes the reduction of soluble flavins by reduced pyridine nucleotides. In Escherichia coli it is part of a multienzyme system that reduces the Fe(III) center of ribonucleotide reductase to Fe(II) and thereby sets the stage for the generation by dioxygen of a free tyrosyl radical required for enzyme activity. Similar enzymes are known in other organisms and may more generally be involved in iron metabolism. We have now isolated the gene for the E. coli flavin reductase from a lambda gt11 library. After DNA sequencing we found an open reading frame coding for a polypeptide of 233 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 26,212 and with an N-terminal segment identical to that determined by direct Edman degradation. The coding sequence is preceded by a weak ribosome binding site centered 8 nucleotides from the start codon and by a promoterlike sequence centered at a distance of 83 nucleotides. In a Kohara library the gene hybridized to position 3680 on the physical map of E. coli. A bacterial strain that overproduced the enzyme approximately 100-fold was constructed. The translated amino acid sequence contained a potential pyridine nucleotide-binding site and showed 25% identity with the C-terminal part of one subunit (protein C) of methane monooxygenase from methanotropic bacteria that reduces the iron center of a second subunit (protein A) of the oxygenase by pyridine nucleotides. << Less

Characterization of a second form of NADPH-flavin reductase purified from human erythrocytes.
Yubisui T., Tamura M., Takeshita M.
A second form of the NADPH-flavin reductase with an isoelectric point of 6.1 was purified to homogeneity from human erythrocytes.

A second form of the NADPH-flavin reductase with an isoelectric point of 6.1 was purified to homogeneity from human erythrocytes. The enzyme showed NADPH-specific flavin reductase activity when FAD, FMN or riboflavin was used as an electron acceptor. Analyses of the amino acid compositions and immunological reactivities of the enzyme and the other flavin reductase with an isoelectric point of 8.1 revealed that the proteins of these two enzymes are indistinguishable to each other. Tightly bound NADP+, which was reducible by a NADPH-generating system, was specifically found in the second form of the enzyme. << Less

Crystal structure of NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase from Escherichia coli.

Flavin reductases use flavins as substrates and are distinct from flavoenzymes which have tightly bound flavins. The reduced flavin can serve to reduce ferric complexes and iron proteins. In Escherichia coli, reactivation of ribonucleotide reductase is achieved by reduced flavins produced by flavin reductase. The crystal structure of E. coli flavin reductase reveals that the enzyme structure is similar to the structures of the ferredoxin reductase family of flavoproteins despite very low sequence similarities. The main difference between flavin reductase and structurally related flavoproteins is that there is no binding site for the AMP moiety of FAD. The direction of the helix in the flavin binding domain, corresponding to the phosphate binding helix in the flavoproteins, is also slightly different and less suitable for phosphate binding. Interactions for flavin substrates are instead provided by a hydrophobic isoalloxazine binding site that also contains a serine and a threonine, which form hydrogen bonds to the isoalloxazine of bound riboflavin in a substrate complex. << Less

Initial-rate kinetics of the flavin reductase reaction catalysed by human biliverdin-IXbeta reductase (BVR-B).
Cunningham O., Gore M.G., Mantle T.J.

The initial-rate kinetics of the flavin reductase reaction catalysed by biliverdin-IXbeta reductase at pH 7.5 are consistent with a rapid-equilibrium ordered mechanism, with the pyridine nucleotide binding first. NADPH binding to the free enzyme was characterized using stopped-flow fluorescence quenching, and a K(d) of 15.8 microM was calculated. Equilibrium fluorescence quenching experiments indicated a K(d) of 0.55 microM, suggesting that an enzyme-NADPH encounter complex (K(d) 15.8 microM) isomerizes to a more stable 'nucleotide-induced' conformation. The enzyme was shown to catalyse the reduction of FMN, FAD and riboflavin, with K(m) values of 52 microM, 125 microM and 53 microM, respectively. Lumichrome was shown to be a competitive inhibitor against FMN, with a K(i) of 76 microM, indicating that interactions with the isoalloxazine ring are probably sufficient for binding. During initial experiments it was observed that both the flavin reductase and biliverdin reductase activities of the enzyme exhibit a sharp optimum at pH 5 in citrate buffer. An initial-rate study indicated that the enzyme obeys a steady-state ordered mechanism in this buffer. The initial-rate kinetics in sodium acetate at pH 5 are consistent with a rapid-equilibrium ordered mechanism, indicating that citrate may directly affect the enzyme's behaviour at pH 5. Mesobiliverdin XIIIalpha, a synthetic biliverdin which binds to flavin reductase but does not act as a substrate for the enzyme, exhibits competitive kinetics with FMN (K(i) 0.59 microM) and mixed-inhibition kinetics with NADPH. This is consistent with a single pyridine nucleotide site and competition by FMN and biliverdin for a second site. Interestingly, flavin reductase/biliverdin-IXbeta reductase has also been shown to exhibit ferric reductase activity, with an apparent K(m) of 2.5 microM for the ferric iron. The ferric reductase reaction requires NAD(P)H and FMN. This activity is intriguing, as haem cleavage in the foetus produces non-alpha isomers of biliverdin and ferric iron, both of which are substrates for flavin reductase/biliverdin-IXbeta reductase. << Less

NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase of Escherichia coli. A ferric iron reductase participating in the generation of the free radical of ribonucleotide reductase.
Fontecave M., Eliasson R., Reichard P.
The active form of one subunit of Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (protein B2) contains an organic free radical localized to tyrosine 122 of its polypeptide chain. When this radical is scavenged, e.g. by treatment with hydroxyurea, the enzyme is inactivated (protein B2/HU). E. coli conta ... >> More
The active form of one subunit of Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (protein B2) contains an organic free radical localized to tyrosine 122 of its polypeptide chain. When this radical is scavenged, e.g. by treatment with hydroxyurea, the enzyme is inactivated (protein B2/HU). E. coli contains an enzyme system consisting of at least three proteins that in the presence of NADPH, FMN, dithiothreitol, and oxygen introduce the tyrosyl radical into B2/HU (Eliasson, R., Jörnvall, H., and Reichard, P. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 2373-2377). One of the three proteins was identified as superoxide dismutase. We now identify a second protein, previously provisionally named Fraction c, as an NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase (flavin reductase). After 4,000-fold purification the protein moved as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis with a molecular weight of 28,000-29,000. The enzyme contained no flavin but reduced riboflavin, FMN, and FAD by NADH, or riboflavin and FMN by NADPH. It is a powerful ferric iron reductase. We propose that its complementing activity during radical generation involves participation in the reduction of the ferric iron center of protein B2/HU. Radical formation is then linked to the reoxidation of iron by oxygen. The flavin reductase may also participate in other aspects of iron metabolism of E. coli. << Less
