| Abstract | We have cloned and expressed the cycP gene encoding cytochrome c' from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans and generated mutations in Arg-124 and Phe-59, residues close to the haem, to probe their involvement in modulating the unusual spin-state equilibrium of the haem Fe and the unique proximal mode of binding of NO to form a stable five-coordinate adduct. Arg-124 is located in the proximal pocket of the haem and forms a hydrogen bond to the stable five-coordinated bound NO. Phe-59 provides steric hindrance at the distal face where NO binds initially to form a six-coordinate adduct. Optical spectroscopy showed altered electronic properties of the oxidised haem centre resulting from the mutations of both residues. The high affinity of the ferrous proteins for NO remained unchanged and all of the mutational variants formed a stable five-coordinate NO species (lambda(Soret) 395 nm) in the presence of stoichiometric concentrations of NO. However, the kinetics of the reactivity towards NO were altered, with mutation of the distal Phe-59 residue resulting in the transient six-coordinate distally bound NO adduct (lambda(Soret) 415 nm) not being detected. Surprisingly, substitution of the proximal residue Arg-124 with Phe, Ala, Gln or Glu also resulted in the six-coordinate adduct not being detected, showing that this proximal residue also modulates reactivity towards NO on the opposite haem face. In contrast, the R124L substitution retained the property of the native protein in the initial formation of a six-coordinate NO adduct, a finding of functional importance since a Lys or an Arg residue is invariant in these proteins. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
