Plant ferredoxin serves as the physiological electron donor for sulfite reductase, which catalyzes the reduction of sulfite to sulfide. Ferredoxin and sulfite reductase form an electrostatically stabilized 1:1 complex for the intermolecular electron transfer. The protein-protein interaction between these proteins from maize leaves was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Chemical shift perturbation and cross-saturation experiments successfully mapped the location of two major interaction sites of ferredoxin: region 1 including Glu-29, Glu-30, and Asp-34 and region 2 including Glu-92, Glu-93, and Glu-94. The importance of these two acidic patches for interaction with sulfite reductase was confirmed by site-specific mutation of acidic ferredoxin residues in regions 1 and 2, separately and in combination, by which the ability of mutant ferredoxins to transfer electrons and bind to sulfite reductase was additively lowered. Taken together, this study gives a clear illustration of the molecular interaction between ferredoxin and sulfite reductase. We also present data showing that this interaction surface of ferredoxin significantly differs from that when ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase is the interaction partner.
