Abstract:Part II. A manganese binding site has been creating in CcP corresponding to the Mn-binding domain in MnP by site directed mutagenesis. Several spectroscopic techniques including paramagnetic NMR and EPR were employed to characterize the CcP mutant (MnCcP). The data is consistent with a newly formed metal site that binds a single Mn2+ near the heme periphery. Wild-type CcP exhibits none of the spectroscopic features as MnCcP. The new binding site provides a five-fold increase in Mn-oxidizing activity in MnCcP over that of WTCcP.
