The crystal structure of PDOKF1.A, cartoon representation of PDOKF1 monomer with secondary structure elements (B) Cartoon representation of PDOKF1 α3α3 hexamer; six subunits A, B, C, D, E, and F are colored in green, teal, blue, red, salmon, and orange respectively. C, residue Asp178 found at the subunit–subunit interface bridge the Rieske center to the catalytic mononuclear iron center. D, the coordination of the mononuclear iron center with residues and two water molecules. Residues and bond distances (in Å) are labeled. E, structural superposition of a PDOKF1 protomer (red), DMO (gray), and CarDO (yellow). Extended region (residue 285–338) of the catalytic domain of PDOKF1 are involved in α3:α3 stacking interactions.
