In vivo detection of a three iron cluster in fumarate reductase from Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Escherichia coli with plasmid amplified expression of fumarate reductase was grown anaerobically on a medium containing fumarate and glycerol and investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Anaerobically harvested cells exhibit an EPR signal characteristic of a reduced [2Fe-2S] cluster. Anaerobic addition of fumarate results in diminution of the reduced [2Fe-2S] signal and the appearance of the EPR signal associated with the oxidized 3Fe cluster. The results provide the first evidence for a trinuclear iron-sulfur cluster that exists in vivo, and suggest that the 3Fe cluster in purified fumarate reductase samples is not an artifact of the isolation procedure. The significance of this observation is discussed in relation to the physiological relevance of trinuclear iron-sulfur clusters.
