Charge-density analysis of an iron-sulfur protein at an ultra-high resolution of 0.48 Å. Nature 2016; 534:281-4.

Abstract
The fine structures of proteins, such as the positions of hydrogen atoms, distributions of valence electrons and orientations of bound waters, are critical factors for determining the dynamic and chemical properties of proteins. Such information cannot be obtained by conventional protein X-ray analyses at 3.0-1.5 Å resolution, in which amino acids are fitted into atomically unresolved electron-density maps and refinement calculations are performed under strong restraints. Therefore, we usually supplement the information on hydrogen atoms and valence electrons in proteins with pre-existing common knowledge obtained by chemistry in small molecules. However, even now, computational calculation of such information with quantum chemistry also tends to be difficult, especially for polynuclear metalloproteins. Here we report a charge-density analysis of the high-potential iron-sulfur protein from the thermophilic purple bacterium Thermochromatium tepidum using X-ray data at an ultra-high resolution of 0.48 Å. Residual electron densities in the conventional refinement are assigned as valence electrons in the multipolar refinement. Iron 3d and sulfur 3p electron densities of the Fe4S4 cluster are visualized around the atoms. Such information provides the most detailed view of the valence electrons of the metal complex in the protein. The asymmetry of the iron-sulfur cluster and the protein environment suggests the structural basis of charge storing on electron transfer. Our charge-density analysis reveals many fine features around the metal complex for the first time, and will enable further theoretical and experimental studies of metalloproteins.

Abstract
CopC from Pseudomonas syringae was found to be a protein capable of binding both Cu(I) and Cu(II) at two different sites. The solution structure of the apo protein is available, and structural information has been obtained on the Cu(I) bound form. We attempt here to set the limits for the determination of the solution structure of a Cu(II) protein, such as the Cu(II) bound form of CopC, in which the Cu(II) ion takes a type II coordination. The electron relaxation time is estimated from NMRD measurements to be 3 ns which leads to a correlation time for the nuclear spin-electron spin dipolar interaction of 2 ns. This information allowed us to tailor the NMR experiments and to fully exploit purely heteronuclear spectroscopy to assign as many signals as possible. In this way, 37 (13)C and 11 (15)N signals that completely escape detection with conventional approaches were assigned. Paramagnetic based structural constraints were obtained by measuring paramagnetic longitudinal relaxation enhancements (rho(para)) which allowed us to precisely locate the copper ion within the protein frame. Pseudocontact shifts (pcs's) were also used as constraints for 83 (1)H and 18 (13)C nuclei. With them, together with other standard structural constraints, a structure is obtained (and submitted to PDB) where information is only missing in a sphere with a 6 A radius from the copper ion. If we borrow information from EXAFS data, which show evidence of two copper coordinated histidines, then His 1 and His 91 are unambiguously identified as copper ligands. EXAFS data indicate two more light donor atoms (O/N) which could be from Asp 27 and Glu 89, whereas the NMRD data indicate the presence of a semicoordinated water molecule at 2.8 A (Cu-O distance) roughly orthogonal to the plane identified by the other four ligands. This represents the most extensively characterized structure of a type II Cu(II) protein obtained employing the most advanced NMR methods and with the aid of EXAFS data. The knowledge of the location of the Cu(II) in the protein is important for the copper transfer mechanism.

Paramagnetic 1H NMR spectroscopy of the reduced, unbound photosystem I subunit PsaC: sequence-specific assignment of contact-shifted resonances and identification of mixed- and equal-valence Fe-Fe pairs in [4Fe-4S] centers FA- and FB-.

Abstract
The PsaC subunit of Photosystem I (PS I) is a 9.3-kDa protein that binds two important cofactors in photosynthetic electron transfer: the [4Fe-4S] clusters FA and FB. The g-tensor orientation of FA- and FB- is believed to be correlated to the preferential localization of the mixed-valence and equal-valence (ferrous) iron pairs in each [4Fe-4S]+ cluster. The preferential position of the mixed-valence and equal-valence pairs, in turn. can be inferred from the study of the temperature dependence of contact-shifted resonances by 1H NMR spectroscopy. For this, a sequence-specific assignment of these signals is required. The 1H NMR spectrum of reduced, unbound PsaC from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 at 280.4 K in 99% D2O solution shows 18 hyperfine-shifted resonances. The non-solvent-exchangeable, hyperfine-shifted resonances of reduced PsaC are clearly identified as belonging to the cysteines coordinating the clusters FA- and FB- by their downfield chemical shifts, by their temperature dependencies, and by their short T1 relaxation times. The usual fast method of assigning the 1H NMR spectra of reduced [4Fe-4S] proteins through magnetization transfer from the oxidized to the reduced state was not feasible in the case of reduced PsaC. Therefore, a de novo self-consistent sequence-specific assignment of the hyperfine-shifted resonances was obtained based on dipolar connectivities from 1D NOE difference spectra and on longitudinal relaxation times using the X-ray structure of Clostridium acidi urici 2[4Fe-4S] cluster ferredoxin at 0.94 A resolution as a model. The results clearly show the same sequence-specific distribution of Curie and anti-Curie cysteines for unbound, reduced PsaC as established for other [4Fe-4S]-containing proteins; therefore, the mixed-valence and equal-valence (ferrous) Fe-Fe pairs in FA- and FB- have the same preferential positions relative to the protein. The analysis reveals that the magnetic properties of the two [4Fe-4S] clusters are essentially indistinguishable in unbound PsaC, in contrast to the PsaC that is bound as a component of the PS I complex.

Abstract
1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy is applied to investigate the CU(A) and type 1 active sites of copper proteins in solution. The analysis of hyperfine shifted 1H resonances allows the comparison of the electron spin density delocalization in the CU(A) site of the wild-type soluble domains of various cytochrome c oxidases (Thermus thermophilus, Paracoccus denitrificans, and Paracoccus versutus) and genetically engineered constructs (soluble domain of quinol oxidase from Escherichia coli and Thiobacillus versutus amicyanin). Comparable spin densities are found on the two terminal His ligands for the wild-type constructs as opposed to the engineered proteins where the spin is more unevenly distributed on the two His residues. A reevaluation of the Cys H(beta) chemical shifts that is in agreement with the data published for both the P. denitrificans and the P. versutus Cu(A) soluble domains confirms the thermal accessibility of the 2B(3u) electronic excited state and indicates the existence of slightly different spin densities on the two bridging Cys ligands. The 13C-NMR spectrum of isotopically enriched oxidized azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals six fast relaxing signals, which can be partially identified by 1- and 2-dimensional (1-D, 2-D) direct detection techniques combined with 3-D triple resonance experiments. The observed contact shifts suggest the presence of direct spin density transfer and spin polarization mechanisms for the delocalization of the unpaired electron.

Abstract
Ferredoxins are a group of iron-sulfur proteins for which a wealth of structural and mutational data have recently become available. Previously unknown structures of ferredoxins which are adapted to halophilic, acidophilic or hyperthermophilic environments and new cysteine patterns for cluster ligation and non-cysteine cluster ligation have been described. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments have given insight into factors that influence the geometry, stability, redox potential, electronic properties and electron-transfer reactivity of iron-sulfur clusters.
