2 The reduction potential of the F48K variant was 26 mV higher than that of the wild-type (WT) recombinant (rc) HiPIP, consistent with the introduction of a positive charge close to the cluster. Login to comment
4 In contrast, the electron transfer self-exchange rate constant of F48K was at least 15-fold lower than that of the WT rcHiPIP, indicating that the introduction of a positive charge at position 48 diminishes self-association of the HiPIP in solution. Login to comment
45 The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the F48K variant was veri'ed. Login to comment
96 Results and discussion Approximately 30 mg of puri'ed F48K variant rcHiPIP was obtained per liter of cell culture, which is comparable to the yield of WT rcHiPIP. Login to comment
97 Consistent with the introduction of an additional positive surface charge, F48K eluted from the anion-exchange column in a bu¡er containing 55 mM less NaCl than that required to elute WT rcHiPIP. Login to comment
99 The absorption spectra of WT and F48K rcHiPIPs were essentially identical (results not shown) and the R-factors (A280/A375) of the freshly oxidized WT and F48K variant rcHiPIPs were 2.18 and 2.13, respectively. Login to comment

106 The third and fourth traces represent the NOE spectra obtained from the selective irradiation of resonances A and B, respectively, of the F48K variant rcHiPIP. Login to comment
120 The midpoint reduction potentials of the WT and the F48K C. vinosum HiPIPs were 332 and 358 þ 5 mV versus SHE (20 mM MOPS, 80 mM NaCl, pH 7.0, 295 K), respectively. Login to comment
121 At a sweep rate of 10 mV/s, the separations between the anodic and cathodic current peaks were 62 mV and 78 mV for the WT and F48K variant HiPIPs, respectively. Login to comment
125 1 H-NMR spectra of the reduced C. vinosum WT and F48K rcHiPIPs were essentially identical, each containing four paramagnetically shifted signals (Table 1). Login to comment
127 The similarity of the chemical shifts of these resonances in F48K and WT rcHiPIP indicates that the Fe-S-C-H dihedral angles of the ligands are essentially identical in these two proteins and thus that the substitution at position 48 Fig. 3. Login to comment
132 1 H-NMR spectra of the oxidized C. vinosum WT and F48K rcHiPIPs were quite similar, each containing nine paramagnetically shifted signals (Fig. 2). Login to comment
134 The hyper'ne shifted resonances of the F48K variant were assigned by comparing their temperature dependences and NOEs to those of the WT HiPIP resonances. Login to comment
138 1D-NOE experiments were performed to assign resonances A, B, C, D and E of the F48K variant. Login to comment
140 The complete assignment of the hyper'ne shifted resonances of the oxidized C. vinosum F48K variant is summarized in Table 1. Login to comment
141 The 1 H-NMR spectrum of oxidized C. vinosum F48K rcHiPIP is very similar to that of the F48R variant [31]. Login to comment
143 The chemical shifts of the L-CH2 protons of Cys-46 and Cys-77 in the oxidized F48K variant indicate that the iron ligated to the former was slightly more ferric in character whereas that ligated to Cys-77 was slightly more mixed-valent in character, the shift being approximately 5 percentage points.

153 These resonances had similar T1 in the WT and F48K variant rcHiPIPs, indicating that the observed di¡erences in magnetization exchange in these proteins did not arise from di¡erences in longitudinal relaxation rates (results not shown). Login to comment
159 In contrast to the magnetization transfer observed in WT C. vinosum rcHiPIP, no variation in the intensity of signals bP or cP was detected for the F48K variant upon saturation of signal A and B, at ionic strengths of 100 and 500 mM. Login to comment
161 The lower kex of the F48K variant with respect to the WT rcHiPIP supports the conclusion that the hydrophobic surface patch identi'ed by others [15^17] mediates interaction between two molecules of C. vinosum HiPIP in solution. Login to comment

169 In contrast, the EPR spectrum of the F48K variant was una¡ected by the presence of 1 M NaCl (Fig. 4). Login to comment
171 The NMR and EPR studies of the F48K variant strongly support this hypothesis in two respects. Login to comment
172 First, the NMR spectrum of the oxidized F48K variant indicates that the substitution at position 48 only minimally a¡ects the electron distribution of the [Fe4S4]3 cluster at 295 K. Login to comment
173 It is thus unlikely that the di¡erences in the gz region of the `high salt' EPR spectra of F48K and WT rcHiPIPs arose from di¡erences in the electron distributions of their respective clusters at 10 K. Second, the lower kex of F48K with respect to that of WT HiPIP indicates that the introduction of a positive charge in the £attened, predominantly hydrophobic surface patch of the protein impedes self-association.

179 This minor component, whose most prominent feature was a gy = 2.07, was present in the EPR spectra of F48K and WT C. vinosum rcHiPIP (Fig. 4) even though these preparations were of higher purity than the samples used in the previous study and were puri'ed from a di¡erent source. Login to comment
