N2-reduction by simplified nifen-based nitrogenase systems

Heterologous synthesis of a nitrogen-fixing system in a non-diazotrophic organism is a long-sought-after goal because of the significance of nitrogenase for areas related to agronomy, energy and environment. Two simplified nitrogenase analogs from Azotobacter vinelandii in Escherichia coli were successfully heterologously synthesized. One analog comprise the reductase component (NifH) and, in place of the catalytic component (NifDK), a cofactor maturase (NifEN); whereas the other analog comprised only NifEN. Metal, EPR and activity analyses verified the cluster composition and functional competence of the heterologously expressed NifH and NifEN. Moreover, NMR, nanoSIMS and growth experiments illustrated the abilities of both systems to mimic the nitrogenase in reducing N2 and incorporating the reduced N into the cellular mass. These results firmly established NifEN / NifH or NifEN as a simplified nitrogenase analog that could be engineered or expanded to facilitate future transgenic expression of nitrogenase and development of nitrogenase-based biotechnological applications.
