| Abstract | Fumarate and nitrate reduction (FNR) regulatory proteins are $O_{2}-sensing$ bacterial transcription factors that control the switch between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. Under anaerobic conditions $[4Fe-4S]^{2+}-FNR$ exists as a DNA-binding homodimer. In response to elevated oxygen levels, the $[4Fe-4S]^{2+}$ cluster undergoes a rapid conversion to a $[2Fe-2S]^{2+}$ cluster, resulting in a dimer-to-monomer transition and loss of site-specific DNA binding. In this work, resonance Raman and UV-visible absorption/CD spectroscopies and MS were used to characterize the interconversion between $[4Fe-4S]^{2+}$ and $[2Fe-2S]^{2+}$ clusters in Escherichia coli FNR. Selective $^{34}S$ labeling of the bridging sulfides in the $[4Fe-4S]^{2+}$ cluster-bound form of FNR facilitated identification of resonantly enhanced $Cys^{32}S-^{34}S$ stretching modes in the resonance Raman spectrum of the $O_{2}-exposed$ $[2Fe-2S]^{2+}$ cluster-bound form of FNR. This result indicates $O_{2}-induced$ oxidation and retention of bridging sulfides in the form of $[2Fe-2S]^{2+}$ cluster-bound cysteine persulfides. MS also demonstrates that multiple cysteine persulfides are formed on $O_{2}$ exposure of $[4Fe-4S]^{2+}-FNR.$ The $[4Fe-4S]^{2+}$ cluster in FNR can also be regenerated from the cysteine persulfide-coordinated $[2Fe-2S]^{2+}$ cluster by anaerobic incubation with DTT and $Fe^{2+}$ ion in the absence of exogenous sulfide. Resonance Raman data indicate that this type of cluster conversion involving sulfide oxidation is not unique to FNR, because it also occurs in $O_{2}-exposed$ forms of $O_{2}-sensitive$ [4Fe-4S] clusters in radical S-adenosylmethionine enzymes. The results provide fresh insight into the molecular mechanism of $O_{2}$ sensing by FNR and iron-sulfur cluster conversion reactions in general, and suggest unique mechanisms for the assembly or repair of biological [4Fe-4S] clusters. |

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.
