Abstract:
:Escherichia coli class Ib ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) converts nucleoside 5'-diphosphates to deoxynucleoside 5'-diphosphates in iron-limited and oxidative stress conditions. We have recently demonstrated in vitro that this RNR is active with both diferric-tyrosyl radical (Fe(III)(2)-Y(•)) and dimanganese(III)-Y(•) (Mn(III)(2)-Y(•)) cofactors in the β2 subunit, NrdF [Cotruvo, J. A., Jr., and Stubbe, J. (2010) Biochemistry 49, 1297-1309]. Here we demonstrate, by purification of this protein from its endogenous levels in an E. coli strain deficient in its five known iron uptake pathways and grown under iron-limited conditions, that the Mn(III)(2)-Y(•) cofactor is assembled in vivo. This is the first definitive determination of the active cofactor of a class Ib RNR purified from its native organism without overexpression. From 88 g of cell paste, 150 μg of NrdF was isolated with ∼95% purity, with 0.2 Y(•)/β2, 0.9 Mn/β2, and a specific activity of 720 nmol min(-1) mg(-1). Under these conditions, the class Ib RNR is the primary active RNR in the cell. Our results strongly suggest that E. coli NrdF is an obligate manganese protein in vivo and that the Mn(III)(2)-Y(•) cofactor assembly pathway we have identified in vitro involving the flavodoxin-like protein NrdI, present inside the cell at catalytic levels, is operative in vivo.
