The iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster-biosynthesis (ISC) system of the gamma-proteobacterium Pseudomonas putida JCM 20004 contains a constitutively expressed vertebrate-type [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin, FdxB, which lacks the conserved free cysteine residue near the Fe-S cluster site that has been proposed to function in the catalysis of biological Fe-S cluster assembly in other bacterial homologues. Recombinant FdxB was heterologously overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized in its oxidized ...[more]
