Structural and Biochemical Characterization of a Quinol Binding Site of Escherichia coli Nitrate Reductase A
J.Biol.Chem., 280:14836-14843, 2005

PubMed Abstract: The crystal structure of Escherichia coli nitrate reductase A (NarGHI) in complex with pentachlorophenol has been determined to 2.0 A of resolution. We have shown that pentachlorophenol is a potent inhibitor of quinol:nitrate oxidoreductase activity and that it also perturbs the EPR spectrum of one of the hemes located in the membrane anchoring subunit (NarI). This new structural information together with site-directed mutagenesis data, biochemical analyses, and molecular modeling provide the first molecular characterization of a quinol binding and oxidation site (Q-site) in NarGHI. A possible proton conduction pathway linked to electron transfer reactions has also been defined, providing fundamental atomic details of ubiquinol oxidation by NarGHI at the bacterial membrane.
