| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Six Hyp proteins (HypA, B, C, D, E, and F) are primarily involved in the maturation process of [NiFe] hydrogenases which catalyze reversible hydrogen production and consumption. These Hyp proteins incorporate a complex Ni/Fe cluster into a protein subunit of [NiFe] hydrogenases. On the basis of our previous success in the structure determination of several Hyp proteins, we have investigated structure and function of transient complexes (HypAB, HypCD, and HypCDE complexes, and hydrogenase-large subunit (HyhL) and Hyp protein complexes) and reaction intermediates (carbamoylated and cyanated HypEs) to obtain insights into molecular mechanism of the [NiFe] hydrogenase maturation.
