Identification of possible adenine nucleotide-binding sites in nitrogenase Fe- and MoFe-proteins by amino acid sequence comparison.

Abstract:

:Published amino acid sequences for nitrogenase component polypeptides were compared with those of other proteins which also bind adenine nucleotides. Three sequences which might contribute to an adenine nucleotide-binding domain were found for the Fe-protein component of nitrogenase. The beta-subunit of the MoFe-protein (nifK gene product) contains a sequence which is similar to other proteins which exhibit ATPase activity. No similarities were observed for the alpha-subunit of this component. The findings are discussed in relation to the experimental data on adenine nucleotide binding and the proposed role of ATP in the enzyme mechanism.
