Cofactor F420 is a 5'-deazaflavin derivative first discovered in methanogenic archaea but later found also to be present in some bacteria. As a coenzyme, it is involved in hydride transfer reactions and as a prosthetic group in the DNA photolyase reaction. We report here for the first time on the crystal structure of an F420-dependent oxidoreductase bound with F420. The structure of F420H2:NADP+ oxidoreductase resolved to 1.65 A contains two domains: an N-terminal domain characteristic of a dinu ...[more]
