title: Reconstitution of iron-sulfur cluster of NADH-cytochrome c reductase, a component of benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase system from Pseudomonas arvilla C-1.
abstract: NADH-cytochrome c reductase, a component of benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase system, is an ion-sulfur flavoprotein with one FAD and one iron-sulfur cluster of [2Fe-2S] type (Yamaguchi, M., and Fujisawa, H. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 8848-8853). Treatment of NADH-cytochrome c reductase with p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid resulted in fading of its color with a concomitant loss of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. The p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid-treated enzyme was found to contain one FAD but no significant amounts of iron and labile sulfide. Incubation of the iron-sulfur-depleted enzyme with ferrous ions and sulfide in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol led to both reconstitution of iron-sulfur cluster of the enzyme and concomitant restoration of the enzyme activity. Although the iron-sulfur-depleted enzyme catalyzed NADH-dependent reduction of ferricyanide, nitroblue tetrazolium, or oxygen, it could not catalyze NADH-dependent reduction of the oxygenase component of benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase system. In contrast, the reconstituted enzyme recovered the activity of NADH-dependent reduction of the oxygenase component to the original level. Certain other catalytic and molecular properties of the iron-sulfur-depleted enzyme and the reconstituted enzyme are also presented.
