Cluster-selective 57Fe labeling of a Twitch-domaincontaining radical SAM enzyme by Namkoong, Gil, Suess, Daniel LM

“…Herein, we report a facile method for cluster-selective 57Fe enrichment based on exchange between the protein's Fe–S clusters and exogenous Fe ions. Through a combination of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic analysis, we show that, of the two [Fe4S4] clusters in BtrN (a Twitch-domain-containing radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme), the Fe ions in the SAM-binding cluster undergo faster exchange with exogenous Fe2+; the auxiliary cluster is essentially inert under the reaction conditions. …”
