flavodoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase
A flavoprotein (FAD). This activity occurs in some prokaryotes and algae that possess flavodoxin, and provides low-potential electrons for a variety of reactions such as nitrogen fixation, sulfur assimilation and amino acid biosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms it is involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The enzyme also catalyses EC 1.18.1.2, ferredoxin---NADP+ reductase.
the enzyme reduces flavodoxin I, flavodoxin II and ferredoxin, ferredoxin being the kinetically and thermodynamically preferred partner, i.e. reaction of EC 1.18.2.1. Flavodoxin I and flavodoxin II behave similarly with respect to FNR, with affinities about 4- to 7fold weaker and reduction rates that are 10- to 100fold slower than those for ferredoxin. Flavodoxin I and flavodoxin II can obtain electrons from reduced Fd at rates that are comparable to those obtained with reduced FNR
substrate flavodoxin is more structured when the FMN cofactor is bound. Holo-flavodoxin is capable of associating with NADP+-dependent flavodoxin oxidoreductase, whereas there is no detectable interaction between apo-flavodoxin and the protein
the electron-transfer route is NADPH to FLDR to flavodoxin. The midpoint reduction potentials of the oxidized/semiquinone and semiquinone/hydroquinone couples of FLDR are 2308 mV and 2268 mV, respectively. Binding of 2'-adenosine monophosphate increases the midpoint reduction potentials for both FLDR couples

no changes are found in the kinetics of reduction of the FMN cofactor of flavodoxin modified by glycine ethyl ester as compared with the native protein. The observed rate constants for reoxidation of ferredoxin by FNR (reaction of EC 1.18.1.2) are about 100fold decreased when phenylglyoxal-modified FNR is used. When phenylglyoxal-modified FNR is used to reduce flavodoxin, similar inhibitory effects are observed. In this case, the limiting first-order rate constant for flavodoxin semiquinone formation via intracomplex electron transfer is approximately 12fold smaller than that obtained for the native FNR. Ionic strength effects are diminished. Complex formation can still occur between modified FNR and native flavodoxin, and between native FNR and modified flavodoxin, but the geometry of these complexes is altered so as to decrease the effectiveness of interprotein electron transfer

reduction of the FAD moiety of phenylglyoxal-modified FNR by laser-generated 5-deazariboflavin semiquinone occurs with a second-order rate constant 2.5fold smaller than that obtained for reduction of native FNR
Escherichia coli cells deficient in the soxRS-induced ferredoxin (flavodoxin)-NADP(H) reductase FPR, display abnormal sensitivity to methyl viologen. Neither bacteriostatic effects nor inactivation of oxidant-sensitive hydrolyases can be detected in mutant cells exposed to methyl viologen. FPR inactivation does not affect the methyl viologen-driven soxRS response, FPR overexpression leads to enhanced stimulation of the regulon, with concomitant oxidation of the NADPH pool. Accumulation of a site-directed FPR mutant that uses NAD(H) instead of NADP(H) has no effect on soxRS induction and fails to protect FPR deficient cells from methyl viologen toxicity
the C-terminal tyrosine residue lowers the affinity for NADP(H) to levels compatible with steady-state turnover, contributes to the flavin semiquinone stabilization required for electron splitting, and modulates the rates of electron exchange with the protein partners

structure to 2.5 A resolution, orthorhombic space group P21212, with unit-cell parameters a = 57.2, b = 164.3, c = 95.0 A, containing two protein molecules in the asymmetric unit
molecular modelling indicates that movement of the C-terminal tryptophan (W248) is necessary to permit close approach of the nicotinamide ring of NADPH to the flavin. Residues R174 and R184 are located close to the adenosine ribose 2'-phosphate group, and R144 is likely to interact with the nicotinamide ribose 5'-phosphate group
a multiscale modelling approach for analysis of the electron transfer process in complexes of the enzyme with both ferredoxin and flavodoxin, reactions of EC 1.19.1.1 and EC1.18.1.2, respectively. The electron transfer in FNR/ferredoxin proceedes through a bridge-mediated mechanism in a dominant protein-protein complex, where transfer of the electron is facilitated by ferredoxin loop-residues 40-49. In FNR/flavodoxin, a direct transfer between redox cofactors is observed and less complex specificity than in ferredoxin
in complex with 2'-phospho-AMP and NADP+. In the complexes obtained, the nucleotides bind exclusively through the adenosine moiety. The adenosine moiety binds into a cavity formed by residues of conserved segments, i.e residues 128 to 130, residues 158 to 163, residues 193 to 205, and residues 233 to 240. The adenosine binding site is essentially formed by residues R158, R195 and R203, which stabilise the nucleotide
no perturbation of the 31P-NMR resonances assigned to the FAD moiety of FNR or the FMN and phosphodiester moieties of Azotobacter flavodoxin are observed on complexation of Azotobacter flavodoxin and Spinacia oleracea FNR. Reduction of FMN to its semiquinone form results in extensive line-broadening of the FMN resonance. The FAD resonances of the FNR-flavodoxin complex are unaffected by FMN semiquinone formation. The distance from the FMN phosphate to the flavin ring is altered on binding the flavodoxin to FNR
mutant uses NAD(H) instead of NADP(H), expression of the mutant has no effect on soxRS induction and fails to protect FPR deficient cells from methyl viologen toxicity
nearly inactive mutant with ferredoxin, about 25% of the wild-type enzyme activity with flavodoxin. Mutation shifts the flavin reduction potential to less negative values, whereas semiquinone stabilization is severely hampered
mutant does not allow formation of active charge-transfer complexes, probably due to restraints of C-terminus pliability. Mutant displays higher affinity for NADP+ than wild-type
deletion/mutation emulates the structure present in plastidic versions of the protein. It does not modify the general geometry of FAD itself, but increases exposure of the flavin to the solvent, prevents a productive geometry of FAD:NADP(H) complex and decreases the protein thermal stability. Mutant displays higher affinity for NADP+ than wild-type
FNR reduced in the presence of NADPH is slowly inactivated under all conditions. Reactivity towards flavodoxin is lost most rapidly (kinact of 0.031 per min) with less than 10% of the original activity remaining after 30 min, reactivity towards ferredoxin is not as rapidly affected (kinact of 0.0065 per min) with 80% of the original activity remaining after 30 min
