Structure of Hydrogenase Maturation Protein HypF with Reaction Intermediates Shows Two Active Sites.
Structure, 19:1773-1783, 2011

PubMed Abstract: [NiFe]-hydrogenases are multimeric proteins. The large subunit contains the NiFe(CN)(2)CO bimetallic active center and the small subunit contains Fe-S clusters. Biosynthesis and assembly of the NiFe(CN)(2)CO active center requires six Hyp accessory proteins. The synthesis of the CN(-) ligands is catalyzed by the combined actions of HypF and HypE using carbamoylphosphate as a substrate. We report the structure of Escherichia coli HypF(92-750) lacking the N-terminal acylphosphatase domain. HypF(92-750) comprises the novel Zn-finger domain, the nucleotide-binding YrdC-like domain, and the Kae1-like universal domain, also binding a nucleotide and a Zn(2+) ion. The two nucleotide-binding sites are sequestered in an internal cavity, facing each other and separated by ∼14 Å. The YrdC-like domain converts carbamoyl moiety to a carbamoyl adenylate intermediate, which is channeled to the Kae1-like domain. Mutations within either nucleotide-binding site compromise hydrogenase maturation but do not affect the carbamoylphosphate phosphatase activity.
