One molecule of MgATP binds to each subunit of the homodimeric Fe protein component of nitrogenase. Both MgATP molecules are hydrolyzed to MgADP and P(i) in reactions coupled to the transfer of one electron into the MoFe protein component. As an approach to assess the contributions of individual ATP binding sites, a heterodimeric Fe protein was produced that has an Asn substituted for residue 39 in the ATP binding domain in one subunit, while the normal Asp(39) residue within the other subunit remains unchanged. Separation of the heterodimeric Fe protein from a mixed population with homodimeric Fe proteins contained in crude extracts was accomplished by construction of a seven His tag on one subunit and a differential immobilized-metal-affinity chromatography technique. Three forms of the Fe protein (wild-type homodimeric Fe protein [Asp(39)/Asp(39)], altered homodimeric Fe protein [Asn(39)/Asn(39)], and heterodimeric Fe protein [Asp(39)/Asn(39)]) were compared on the basis of the biochemical and biophysical changes elicited by nucleotide binding. Among those features examined were the MgATP- and MgADP-induced protein conformational changes that are manifested by the susceptibility of the [4Fe-4S] cluster to chelation and by alterations in the electron paramagnetic resonance, circular dichroism, and midpoint potential of the [4Fe-4S] cluster. The results indicate that changes in the [4Fe-4S] cluster caused by nucleotide binding are the result of additive conformational changes contributed by the individual subunits. The [Asp(39)/Asn(39)] Fe protein did not support substrate reduction activity but did hydrolyze MgATP and showed MgATP-dependent primary electron transfer to the MoFe protein. These results support a model where each MgATP site contributes to the rate acceleration of primary electron transfer, but both MgATP sites must be functioning properly for substrate reduction. Like the altered homodimeric [Asn(39)/Asn(39)] Fe protein, the heterodimeric [Asp(39)/Asn(39)] Fe protein was found to form a high affinity complex with the MoFe protein, revealing that alteration on one subunit is sufficient to create a tight complex. << Less

The chemical mechanism by which the enzyme nitrogenase effects the remarkable reduction of N(2) to NH(3) under ambient conditions continues to be enigmatic, because no intermediate has been observed directly. Recent experimental investigation of the enzymatic consequences of the valine --> alanine modification of residue alpha-70 of the component MoFe protein on the reduction of alkynes, together with EPR and ENDOR spectroscopic characterization of a trappable intermediate in the reduction of propargyl alcohol or propargyl amine (HCC[triple bond]C-CH(2)OH/NH(2)), has localized the site of binding and reduction of these substrates on the FeMo-cofactor and led to proposed eta(2)-Fe coordination geometry. Here these experimental data are modeled using density functional calculations of the allyl alcohol/amine intermediates and the propargyl alcohol/amine reactants coordinated to the FeMo-cofactor, together with force-field calculations of the interactions of these models with the surrounding MoFe protein. The results support and elaborate the earlier proposals, with the most probable binding site and geometry being eta(2)-coordination at Fe6 of the FeMo-cofactor (crystal structure in the Protein Database), in a position that is intermediate between the exo and endo coordination extremes at Fe6. The models described account for (1) the steric influence of the alpha-70 residue, (2) the crucial hydrogen bonding with Nepsilon of alpha-195(His), (3) the spectroscopic symmetry of the allyl-alcohol intermediate, and (4) the preferential stabilization of the allyl alcohol/amine relative to propargyl alcohol/amine. Alternative binding sites and geometries for ethyne and ethene, relevant to the wild-type protein, are described. This model defines the location and scene for detailed investigation of the mechanism of nitrogenase. << Less

We have used a membrane-leak mass spectrometer to follow the time courses of H2 evolution and substrate reduction by nitrogenase [reduced ferredoxin:dinitrogen oxidoreductase (ATP-hydrolyzing), EC 1.18.6.1]. In the absence of added substrates, dinitrogenase passes all of its electrons to protons to form H2, but when a reducible substrate is added the electrons from dinitrogenase are shared between protons and the added substrate so that the steady-state rate of H2 production is decreased. If a reducible substrate is added before the nitrogenase reaction is initiated, a pre-steady-state burst of H2 is evident upon initiation of the reaction. This burst is associated with all the substrates of nitrogenase examined--i.e., N2, N2O, C2H2, NaN3, and NaCN. The H2 burst is stoichiometric with dinitrogenase, but not with dinitrogenase reductase. In the H2 burst phase, 1 H2 is evolved per dinitrogenase molybdenum. Although a change in the ratio of nitrogenase components changed the initial rate of the H2 burst, the stoichiometry was not affected. Production of H2 by the burst in the presence of a high concentration of substrate is terminated after production of 1 H2 per dinitrogenase molybdenum, and a steady-state rate of H2 production is established. This response suggests that the H2 burst is not a catalytic event but a result of a once-only activation process. << Less
