A ferredoxin protein (AAY72_06850, named FesR) was identified to associate with chromate [Cr(VI)] resistance in Alishewanella sp. WH16-1. FesR and its similar proteins were phylogenetically separated from other reductase families. Unlike the reported Cr(VI) and selenite [Se(IV)] reductases, two 4Fe-4S clusters and one flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) -binding domain were found in the FesR sequence. The experiment in vivo showed that the mutant strain ΔfesR had lost partial Cr(VI) and Se(IV) reduction capacities compared to the wild-type and complemented strains. Furthermore, overexpression in Escherichia coli and enzymatic tests in vitro showed FesR were involved in Cr(VI) and Se(IV) reduction. 4Fe-4S cluster in purified FesR was detected by ultraviolet-visible spectrum (UV-VIS) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). The Km values of FesR for Cr(VI) and Se(IV) reduction were 1682.0 ± 126.2 and 1164.0 ± 89.4 μmol/L, and the Vmax values for Cr(VI) and Se(IV) reduction were 4.1 ± 0.1 and 9.4 ± 0.3 μmol min–1 mg–1, respectively. Additionally, site-directed mutagenesis and redox potential analyses showed that 4Fe-4S clusters were essential to FesR, and FAD could enhance the enzyme efficiencies of FesR as intracellular electron transporters. To the best of our knowledge, FesR is a novel Cr(VI) and Se(IV) reductase. |
