High potential iron-sulfur protein

High potential iron-sulfur proteins (HIPIP) are a specific class of high-redox potential 4Fe-4S ferredoxins that functions in anaerobic electron transport and which occurs in photosynthetic bacteria and in ''Paracoccus denitrificans''. The HiPIPs are small proteins which show significant variation in their sequences, their sizes (from 63 to 85 amino acids), and in their oxidation- reduction potentials. As shown in the following schematic representation the iron-sulfur cluster is bound by four conserved cysteine residues.

'C': conserved cysteine involved in the binding of the iron-sulfur cluster.
== () clusters==
The () clusters are abundant cofactors of metalloproteins. They participate in electron-transfer sequences. The core structure for the () cluster is a cube with alternating Fe and S vertices. These clusters exist in two oxidation states with a small structural change. Two families of () clusters are known: the ferredoxin (Fd) family and the high-potential iron–suflur protein (HiPIP) family. Both HiPIP and Fd share the same resting state: ()2+, which have the same geometric and spectroscopic features. Differences arise when it comes to their active state: HiPIP forms by oxidation to ()3+, and Fd is formed by reduction to ()+.
The different oxidation states are explained by the proteins that combined with the () cluster. Analysis from crystallographic data suggests that HiPIP is capable of preserving its higher oxidation state by forming fewer hydrogen bonds with water. The characteristic fold of the proteins wraps the () cluster in a hydrophobic core, only being able to form about five conserved H-bond to the cluster ligands from the backbone. In contrast, the protein associated with the Fd's allows these clusters to contact solvent resulting in 8 protein H-bonding interactions. The protein binds Fd via conserved CysXXCysXXCys structure (X stands for any amino acid). Also, the unique protein structure and dipolar interactions from peptide and intermolecular water contribute to shielding the ()3+ cluster from the attack of random outside electron donors, which protects itself from hydrolysis.
