Native cytochrome c6 was purified from an extract of strain BP-1 of the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus. The protein was crystallized, and with only slight modifications of the buffer and vapour-diffusion conditions two different space groups were observed, namely H3 and C2. Both crystal structures were solved; they contained three and six molecules per and were refined to 1.7 and 2.25 Å resolution, respectively. To date, the structure of native cytochrome c6 from T. elongatus has only been reported as a monomer using NMR spectroscopy, i.e. without addressing putative and related structures have only previously been solved using X-ray crystallography after recombinant gene overexpression in Escherichia coli. The reported space groups of related cyanobacterial cytochrome c6 structures differ from those reported here. Interestingly, the protein–protein interfaces that were observed utilizing X-ray crystallography could also explain homo-oligomerization in solution; specifically, trimerization is indicated by infra-red dynamic and blue native gel in solution. Trimers were also detected by Furthermore, there is an indication of post-translational methylation in the Additionally, the possibility of modifying the crystal size and the redox activity in the context of photosynthesis is shaping the investigated cytochrome as a highly suitable model protein for advanced serial crystallography at highly brilliant X-ray free-electron laser sources.

1. Introduction
Cytochrome c6 (Cyt c6) is a key protein in the light reaction of photosynthesis. It is a small water-soluble protein that is located on the luminal side of the thylakoid membrane. Cyt c6 dynamically interacts within the membrane, forming a protein complex with cytochrome b6f, which has to be sufficiently specific to allow rapid towards photosystem I (PSI; Díaz-Moreno et al., 2014). At the same time, the complex needs a high dissociation rate to enable rapid turnover in order not to limit the flow of electrons through the redox chain (Moser et al., 1992). The electron-transfer pathway of Cyt c6 and its interaction sites with the large membrane complexes are still not well understood (Kölsch et al., 2018). Therefore, new structural information is of great interest.
Cyt c6 is a typical 10 kDa single-heme c-type cytochrome with the cofactor covalently bound to the cysteine residues in a conserved CxxCH motif (Supplementary Figs. S1 and S2). The central iron ion is hexacoordinated in a protoporphyrin derivative with histidine and methionine residues acting as axial ligands, as also revealed by the structures of cyanobacterial and green algal Cyt c6 (Beissinger et al., 1998; Banci et al., 1998; Sawaya et al., 2001; Worrall et al., 2007; Bialek et al., 2009). Further, there is an indication that a functional class I c-type cytochrome of a chloroplast forms functionally relevant small oligomers (Kerfeld et al., 1995). Selected closely related Cyt c6 sequences are aligned for comparison and presented in Supplementary Fig. S2.
Focusing on the cyanobacteria, a high-resolution X-ray structure of recombinant cyanobacterial Cyt c6 from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 (Bialek et al., 2009; PDB entry 3dr0) and the NMR structure of the native protein from Thermosynechococcus elongatus (Beissinger et al., 1998; PDB entry 1c6s) have been reported, but so far no three-dimensional of a native cyanobacterial Cyt c6 has been described and potential has not been addressed. Consequently, a detailed structural investigation of Cyt c6 from its native source will help to understand the dynamic regulatory protein–protein interactions in PSI in more detail and will add another piece to a more detailed structural and functional understanding of the photosynthetic machinery of cyanobacteria (Kölsch et al., 2018; Kłodawska et al., 2020). Cyanobacteria are of exceptionally high economic and ecological value owing to their high abundancy, their photosynthetic activity in the oceans to consume and reduce CO2 as well as their applications in biotechnology and agriculture (Kumar et al., 2019).
Here, we report the crystallization and high-resolution crystal structures of native T. elongatus cytochrome c6 (TeCyt c6) in two different space groups, which contain three and six molecules per respectively, potentially indicating the presence of trimers of which were also observed by blue native gel (bnPAGE) and infra-red dynamic (IR-DLS). Structural differences between the solved and related structures and interfaces are discussed below. Additionally, slight modifications of the protocols described here produce crystals with dimensions of less than 10 µm and with a high solvent content, which provide a valuable starting point in the preparation for upcoming soaking and time-resolved serial crystallography investigations of Cyt c6 and its interaction with PSI and the Cyt b6f complex at currently available X-ray free-electron laser sources.
2. Materials and methods
2.1. Macromolecule production and sample-quality verification
TeCyt c6 was purified from an extract of the cyanobacterium T. elongatus strain BP-1 grown in a photobioreactor (PSI, Czech Republic) essentially as described by Shin et al. (1984). However, in contrast to this protocol, a DEAE column equilibrated with 20 mM MES pH 6.5 was used connected to an ÄKTA purifier (GE Healthcare, USA). TeCyt c6 does not bind to the column material under these conditions and is collected pure for further use. The integrity and purity of the target protein obtained by were verified via SDS–PAGE analysis using 4–15% Mini-PROTEAN TGX precast protein gels (Bio-Rad, Germany). In addition to mass-spectrometry experiments (Sections 2.2 and S1, Fig. 1c and Supplementary Fig. S3), UV–Vis absorption measurements were performed using a Varian 50 Bio single-beam spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, USA; Fig. 1c). The oxidation of TeCyt c6 was achieved by the addition of 1 mM potassium ferricyanide (Koike & Katoh, 1979).
2.2. MALDI-TOF MS
A Bruker autoflex speed MALDI-TOF/TOF instrument was utilized to determine the mass of TeCyt c6. The protein dissolved in 20 mM MES pH 6.5 was mixed with sinapinic acid (SA) matrix and spotted onto the MALDI target plate for ionization. The data were processed using the flexAnalysis 3.4.76.0 and flexControl 3.4.135 software.
2.3. IR-DLS and bnPAGE
A multi-well plate-reading DLS instrument (SpectroLight 600, XtalConcepts, Germany) equipped with an infra-red laser (wavelength 785 nm) and the dedicated software were used to investigate the hydrodynamic radius and dispersity of the protein without being influenced by its fluorescence. Droplets with 4 µl volume each in a Terazaki plate (NUNC, Denmark), covered with silicone oil to prevent evaporation, were prepared for the measurements (Supplementary Fig. S4). For bnPAGE, sample solutions of 0.5 mg ml−1 Cyt c6 containing 50 mM NaCl were applied to 3–12% acrylamide bis-Tris-buffered gradient gels. Materials and bnPAGE buffers were obtained from Serva (Germany) and used according to the instructions from the manufacturer. Gels were subsequently stained using Coomassie Brilliant Blue for evaluation.
2.4. Crystallization
Pure protein was subjected to initial robot-assisted vapour-diffusion crystallization trials using 400 distinct crystallization solutions. Conditions were further optimized by modifying the incubation temperature, buffer pH, protein concentration, precipitant concentration and additive salts. Crystals obtained under two different conditions as specified in Table 1 and using the same reservoir composition were exposed to X-rays. Micrographs of the mature crystals are shown in Fig. 2.

2.5. Data collection and processing
Diffraction data were collected using synchrotron radiation (Table 2). Prior to data collection and flash-cooling, crystals were dipped into reservoir solution containing 20%(v/v) glycerol for cryoprotection. For the crystal utilized to collect data set 2 was indicated and considered (twinning fractions: 0.522 for h, k, l and 0.478 for k, h, −l).
|
2.6. Structure solution and refinement
As specified in Table 3, diffraction data were processed and the protein model quality was verified using the PDB-REDO server (Joosten et al., 2014) or MolProbity (Williams et al., 2018). XDS (Kabsch, 2010) or XDSAPP (Sparta et al., 2016) was used for data processing and indexing, CCP4 software (SCALA, MOLREP and Phaser; Vagin & Teplyakov, 2010; McCoy et al., 2007; Winn et al., 2011) was applied to reduce and scale the diffraction data as well as to perform and the Phenix application phenix.refine (data set 1; Afonine et al., 2012; Liebschner et al., 2019) and REFMAC (data set 2; Murshudov et al., 2011) were used to refine the coordinates. The obtained coordinates of the TeCyt c6 structures were deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) as entries 6tr1 and 6tsy.

3. Results and discussion
UV–Vis spectroscopy and LC-MS/MS confirmed the identity of the protein (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Fig. S1). The obtained crystals that were exposed to X-rays are displayed in Fig. 2. The resulting structure of TeCyt c6 isolated from the BP-1 strain possesses the typical conserved pure α-helical cytochrome c6 fold and heme cofactor (Supplementary Fig. S5a) as clearly observed in both crystallographic data sets. Loops and short turns interconnect the six α-helices. As expected, the main chains of both of the TeCyt c6 structures reported here and the previously determined NMR structure (Beissinger et al., 1998) are almost identical, with r.m.s.d. values of around 1 Å (Fig. 3a). The respective heme cofactors of all TeCyt c6 structures reported are very similar and superimpose well (Fig. 3b), with rotated carboxypropyl side chains of the heme compared with the NMR data set (PDB entry 1c6s). Other deviating loops and the C-terminus position of the TeCyt c6 X-ray structures in comparison to the NMR structure could be related to local flexibility of the NMR model and observed higher B factors for the Compared with the structures of TeCyt c6, a strongly deviating loop of two related cytochrome X-ray structures is highlighted in Fig. 3(a) and consists of amino acids 65–75.
Also, the presence of specific post-translational methylation may depend on particular culture conditions and light stress, as indicated for related et al., 1995). It typically involves methyltransferases (Clarke & Tamanoi, 2006). In particular, one diffraction data set indicated an N-4-methyl-L-asparagine at amino acid position 97 of chain C (PDB entry 6tr1; Supplementary Fig. S5b), which is reported as a glutamine residue elsewhere but can also be occupied by asparagine in related cytochrome sequences from cyanobacteria. Additionally, glutamate was identified in position 70 (PDB entry 6tr1; Supplementary Fig. S2) and is conserved among different related cyanobacteria, but was identified as an aspartate in the NMR structure (PDB entry 1c6s; Beissinger et al., 1998), which has the highest sequence identity. Consequently, a minor sequence inhomogeneity between different preparations of TeCyt c6 from the native source is indicated here after careful of the structures. Post-translational modifications or sequence polymorphisms might be underestimated in sequence analyses of proteins obtained from their natural sources (Whitelegge et al., 2007). They can, in some cases, be responsible for an altered protein (Xin & Radivojac, 2012) or potentially even crystal geometry, if the polymorphisms are surface-exposed, including different oxidation states of a cytochrome (Kerfeld et al., 1995).
and other algal proteins (KerfeldThe geometry and the molecular packing of the TeCyt c6 structures (PDB entries 6tr1 and 6ts1) are shown in Fig. 4 and Supplementary Fig. S6. The two crystal space groups are H3 and C2, and the contains three molecules in the former case and six molecules in the latter (Fig. 4). This phenomenon is not rare. During the crystallization process, parameters such as the temperature, protein flexibility, pH-dependent surface charge, and solution additives can alter molecular interactions and could lead to different packing symmetries (Kondrashov et al., 2008; Rashin et al., 2014) despite the use of an identical precipitant solution. A change in the was likewise observed for the structure of a recombinant Cyt c6 in the PDB depositions 3dr0 (Bialek et al., 2009) and 4eic (S. Krzywda, W. Bialek, M. Jaskolski & A. Szczepaniak, unpublished work) (Supplementary Table S2). As there is no associated publication for PDB deposition 4eic, a discussion of the very small with greater than 50% sequence identity of the protein compared with PDB entry 6tr1 (Supplementary Table S2) remains lacking. The three molecules per in PDB entry 3dr0 form an elongated trimer. One of the two protein–protein interfaces of the central protein chain in the (interface areas of 345 and 352 Å2) is much larger compared with the other one (interface areas of 139 and 129 Å2) according to PDBSUM (Laskowski et al., 2018). This has a certain similarity to PDB entry 6tr1 (interface areas of 413 and 454 Å2 and of 152 and 157 Å2), including a similar number of interface hydrogen bonds. In contrast, the residues involved in the interfaces are partly significantly different for PDB entries 3dr0, 4eic, 6tr1 and 6tsy.
Nonetheless, the elongated assembly of three monomers in the 6tr1, with H3, is only an incomplete snapshot of the molecular assembly in the crystal. An expanded view indicates a distinct higher-ordered oligomeric state that relates PDB entries 6tr1 and 6tsy (Fig. 4 and Supplementary Fig. S6).
of PDB entryThe three monomers within the H3 play individual roles in the crystal packing. The `outer' chains shown in orange and blue (Fig. 4, lower panel; PDB entry 6tr1) homodimerize with a symmetry-related molecule and describe a presumably physiologically relevant interface. Within this assembly, the monomers exhibit their cofactor in a face-to-face manner. As validated by PISA (Proteins, Interfaces, Structures and Assemblies; Krissinel & Henrick, 2005) analysis, this assembly is physiologically pertinent, and stable protein homodimers assemble into a higher ordered oligomeric state, as also observed by MALDI-TOF These elongated building blocks trimerize in a slightly tilted fashion and constitute a barrel-shaped structure. One monomer in each staggered dimer is post-translationally modified and carries an asparagine methylation. This observed alteration is exclusive to the functionally relevant dimers. It cannot be observed either as a double-methylated homodimer or in the central molecule in the (Fig. 4, lower panel), which is not involved in forming these dimers. The latter unit forms a solid homotrimer and tops the dimer barrel in a mushroom-head style, and exclusively mediates crystal contacts between the stacked trimeric rings (Supplementary Fig. S6). Specifically, the calculated stability for all observed protein interfaces is comparable and indicates a trimeric assembly, as supported by interface analysis using PISA according to Krissinel & Henrick (2005). Therefore, as concluded by PISA analysis, the physiologically relevant interface is most likely not present within one The needs to be expanded to envision the biologically relevant interfaces. axes relate the respective monomers in the oligomers and constitute the appropriate interfaces.
inThe trimeric arrangement described for the higher symmetry H3 can similarly be recognized in the crystal packing in the monoclinic (C2) with the same building blocks (Fig. 4, upper panel; PDB entry 6tsy). Although the overall architectures of both structures appear to be similar, the most obvious difference is the packing density. Compared with the high solvent content of >70% for the higher symmetry the packing in C2 is much more compact. Each monomer contributes to an active dimer and composes the monohexameric structure; they present their heme cofactors towards each other and expose them to the central part of the barrel. Unlike in H3, crystal contacts are mediated by back-to-back protein interactions involving each monomer of the assembly simultaneously. The individual residues involved in putative relevant interfaces would ideally be mutated to probe and further verify their contribution to the interface in solution.
No indication of a post-translational modification could be identified within the model electron density of PDB entry 6tsy. PISA analysis revealed a stable interaction between the homodimeric structures. The monomers do foster a second relevant protein interaction in both reported structures. Individual dimers also assemble an offset trimeric ring structure, which includes several hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, rendering the assembly stable. Despite the slight differences, both barrel core structures are similar in overall shape and superpose with an r.m.s.d. value of 0.5 Å.
Another known case in which the same protein was crystallized in two different space groups using very similar but not identical crystallization conditions is the structure of reduced Cyt c6 from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, deposited with PDB codes 4eic and 3dr0. The former was crystallized in the monoclinic P21 and the latter in the hexagonal P32. The monomers in the monoclinic do not indicate a biologically relevant interface, and an analysis of specific interactions did not reveal a presumably stable The protein chains within the high-symmetry are constructed along the crystallographic rotation axis and do not resemble any arrangement found in our structures.
Three molecules per c6 from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 in P3 (Bialek et al., 2009); however, it did not form the same homotrimeric assembly as indicated in Fig. 4. MALDI-TOF further indicated small oligomers of up to trimers independent of the crystallization solution and crystal-packing forces (Fig. 1b), which was also verified in solution using IR-DLS (Supplementary Fig. S4) and bnPAGE (Fig. 1d). The hydrodynamic particle radii obtained are 3.1 ± 0.1 and 3.2 ± 0.2 nm, respectively. For an ideal globular compact protein particle with a hydrodynamic radius of 3.1 nm, the molecular weight would be estimated as 40 kDa according to Cantor & Schimmel (1980), which is similar to the molecular weight estimated via the standard proteins in bnPAGE. However, the TeCyt c6 trimers observed in the crystal structures significantly deviate from a globular shape and might result in an overestimation of the trimer mass. The maximum diameter of the trimeric assembly in the in H3 is approximately 7.5 nm, which may fit the determined hydrodynamic radii, taking the elongated shape and hydrate shell into account. DLS data and bnPAGE, under the conditions tested, also indicate a specific protein–protein affinity and noncovalent in solution. These data do not show an equilibrium between different oligomeric states, which might be based on rather weak concentration-dependent interactions of the monomeric protein. Further, the relative amount of trimeric TeCyt c6 detected by is approximately constant when using two different amounts of protein (Supplementary Fig. S3). Despite the consistent observations of a trimer, a dependence of the on is possible. This could be analyzed in more detail based on the distribution of electrostatic and identity of the ions, for example using light-scattering techniques. A Cyt c6 homolog from the eukaryotic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii specifically dimerized at a strongly increased in the crystallization solution (Kerfeld et al., 1995). For horse heart cytochrome c, via domain swapping of the C-terminal helix has been reported, even with the formation of longer polymers (Hirota et al., 2010). Both of these examples contribute to the diversity of different c-type cytochrome oligomers and their surface properties in solution.
were also observed for recombinant CytSpecific protein ). In this context, the minimum separation distance between the heme Fe atoms in the TeCyt c6 crystals is approximately 16 Å in H3 and approximately 15 Å in C2, which agree with the reported values of 10–25 Å for typical distances in electron-transfer reactions (Kadenbach, 1993; Bertini et al., 2006; Breuer et al., 2014). Therefore, the as seen in solution, might resemble previous studies on the activity of algal Cyt c6 (Kerfeld et al., 1995; Schnackenberg et al., 1999). The might affect the midpoint potential of the heme and could cover the respective heme site after reduction to prevent the backward reaction. There are numerous structural and biophysical studies of Cyt c6 from chloroplasts isolated from different species of green algae (Kerfeld et al., 1995; Schnackenberg et al., 1999; Dikiy et al., 2002; Howe et al., 2006), but systematic comparative studies of native isolated from cyanobacteria are somewhat lacking.
in nature can be beneficial by improving the protein stability, by facilitating or for efficient storage, amongst other reasons (Ali & Imperiali, 2005Further trimeric assemblies with potential biological relevance and hydrophobic interfaces have previously been identified, for instance for Cyt c6 from C. reinhardtii, Monoraphidium braunii and the cyanobacterium Arthrospira maxima (Kerfeld et al., 1995, 2002; Frazão et al., 1995); interestingly, however, these are not superimposable with each other. It was hypothesized when comparing this obvious variety of reported nonsuperimposable crystallographic assemblies and oligomers of Cyt c6 homologues in eukaryotic and prokaryotic species that the diversity in assembly may indicate the involvement of different oligomers in storage with specificity for individual species (Kerfeld et al., 2002), rather than in facilitating the directly as a small oligomer. Selected cyanobacterial Cyt c6 structures are listed in Supplementary Table S2.
In recent years, a large amount of work has been performed to investigate the mechanism of PSI reduction by Cyt c6 and the copper-binding plastocyanin. However, essential aspects of the respiratory and photosynthetic processes in cyanobacteria remain unknown (Pessarakli, 2016; Kłodawska et al., 2020). With this report, we contribute two X-ray structures that will allow further discussion of the dimerization and trimerization of native Cyt c6. Possible trimerization will be dissected further in future investigations of and the interaction interfaces with PSI and Cyt b6f. Such experiments should include time-resolved structural aspects of the redox reaction in parallel to electrochemical approaches.
