| Abstract | Dithionite has been found to reduce directly (without mediators) the Escherichia coli R2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase. With dithionite (∼10 mM) in large excess, the reaction at 25 °C is complete in ∼10 h. Preparations of E. coli R2 have an FeIII 2 (met-R2) component in this work at ∼40% levels, alongside the fully active enzyme FeIII 2 . . . Tyr*, which has a tyrosyl radical at Tyr-122. In the pH range studied (7–8) the kinetics are biphasic. Rate laws for both phases give [S2O4 2–] and not [S2O4 2–]1/2 dependencies, and saturation kinetics are observed for the first time in R2 studies. No dependence on pH was detected. The kinetics (25 °C) of the first phase are reproduced in separate experiments using only met-R2, with association of S2O4 2– to met-R2, K=330 M–1, occurring prior to electron transfer, k et=4.8×10–4 s–1, I=0.100 M (NaCl). The second phase assigned to the reaction of FeIII 2 . . . Tyr* with S2O4 2– gives K=800 M–1 and k et=5.6×10–5 s–1. Bearing in mind the substantially smaller reduction potential for FeIII 2 compared to Tyr*, this is a quite remarkable finding, with implications similar to those already reported for the reaction of R2 with hydrazine, but with additional information provided by the saturation kinetics. The similarity in rates for the two phases (∼fourfold difference) suggests that reduction of FeIII 2 is occurring in both cases, and since S2O4 2– is involved a two-equivalent change is proposed with the formation of FeII 2 . . . Tyr* in the case of active R2. As a sequel to the second phase, intramolecular reduction of the strongly oxidising Tyr* by the FeII 2 is rapid, and further decay of FeIIFeIII is also fast. There is no stable mouse met-R2 form, and the single-phase reaction with dithionite gives saturation kinetics with K=208 M–1 and k et=1.7±10–3 s–1. Mechanistic implications, including the applicability of a pathway for electron transfer via FeA, are considered. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
