A large number of genes are necessary for the biosynthesis and activity of the
enzyme nitrogenase to carry out the process of biological nitrogen fixation
(BNF), which requires large amounts of ATP and reducing power. The multiplicity
of the genes involved, the oxygen sensitivity of nitrogenase, plus the demand for
energy and reducing power, are thought to be major obstacles to engineering BNF
into cereal crops. Genes required for nitrogen fixation can be considered as
three functional modules encoding electron-transport components (ETCs), proteins
required for metal cluster biosynthesis, and the "core" nitrogenase apoenzyme,
respectively. Among these modules, the ETC is important for the supply of
reducing power. In this work, we have used Escherichia coli as a chassis to study
the compatibility between molybdenum and the iron-only nitrogenases with ETC
modules from target plant organelles, including chloroplasts, root plastids, and
mitochondria. We have replaced an ETC module present in diazotrophic bacteria
with genes encoding ferredoxin-NADPH oxidoreductases (FNRs) and their cognate
ferredoxin counterparts from plant organelles. We observe that the FNR-ferredoxin
module from chloroplasts and root plastids can support the activities of both
types of nitrogenase. In contrast, an analogous ETC module from mitochondria
could not function in electron transfer to nitrogenase. However, this
incompatibility could be overcome with hybrid modules comprising mitochondrial
NADPH-dependent adrenodoxin oxidoreductase and the Anabaena ferredoxins FdxH or
FdxB. We pinpoint endogenous ETCs from plant organelles as power supplies to
support nitrogenase for future engineering of diazotrophy in cereal crops.
