Methane monooxygenase: purification and properties of flavoprotein component

An anaerobic procedure was developed for the purification of the flavin:NADH oxidoreductase (flavoprotein) component of methane monooxygenase to homogeneity. The molecular weight of the flavoprotein determined by gel filtration was about 40,000, and by sedimentation equilibrium analysis, about 38,000. The purified flavoprotein is a monomeric protein with a sedimentation constant (S20,W) value of about 2.1 S. The absorption spectrum of the flavoprotein has a peak at 460 nm and shoulder at 395 nm. The fluorescent excitation and emission spectra of the fluorescent component of flavoprotein had peaks at 450, 370, and 530 nm, respectively. A FAD was identified as a prosthetic group of flavoprotein by thin-layer chromatography. The flavoprotein contained about 1 mol of FAD and 2 mol each of iron and acid-labile sulfide per mole of protein. The flavoprotein was directly reduced by NADH under anaerobic conditions. The formation of neutral flavin semiquinone was detected during anaerobic titration of flavoprotein by NADH and also as a free radical signal at a g value of 2.004 by EPR spectroscopy. The iron sulfur cluster has g values of 2.04, 1.96, and 1.87, yielding a g average of 1.96, characteristic of a Fe2S2 center. Antibody prepared against the flavoprotein reacted with flavoprotein and inhibited methane monooxygenase activity.     

Electron transfer reactions in the soluble methane monooxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath)

Aerobic stopped-flow experiments have confirmed that component C is the methane monooxygenase component responsible for interaction with NADH. Reduction of component C by NADH is not the rate-limiting step for component C in the methane monooxygenase reaction. Removal and reconstitution of the redox centres of component C suggest a correlation between the presence of the FAD and Fe2S2 redox centres and NADH: acceptor reductase activity and methane monooxygenase activity respectively, consistent with the order of electron flow: NADH----FAD----Fe2S2----component A. This order suggests that component C functions as a 2e-1/1e-1 transformase, splitting electron pairs from NADH for transfer to component A via the one-electron-carrying Fe2S2 centre. Electron transfer has been demonstrated between the reductase component, component C and the oxygenase component, component A, of the methane monooxygenase complex from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) by three separate methods. This intermolecular electron transfer step is not rate-determining for the methane monooxygenase reaction. Intermolecular electron transfer was independent of component B, the third component of the methane monooxygenase. Component B is required to switch the oxidase activity of component A to methane mono-oxygenase activity, suggesting that the role of component B is to couple substrate oxidation to electron transfer, via the methane monooxygenase components.     

Methane monooxygenase from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. Purification and properties of a three-component system with high specific activity from a type II methanotroph

Methane monooxygenase has been purified from the Type II methanotroph Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. As observed for methane monooxygenase isolated from Type I methanotrophs, three protein components are required: a 39.7-kDa NADH reductase containing 1 mol each of FAD and a [2Fe-2S] cluster, a 15.8-kDa protein factor termed component B that contains no metals or cofactors, and a 245-kDa hydroxylase which appears to contain an oxo- or hydroxo-bridged binuclear iron cluster. Through the use of stabilizing reagents, the hydroxylase is obtained in high yield and exhibits a specific activity 8-25-fold greater than reported for previous preparations. The component B and reductase exhibit 1.5- and 4-fold greater specific activity, respectively. Quantitation of the hydroxylase oxo-bridged cluster using EPR and M?ssbauer spectroscopies reveals that the highest specific activity preparations (approximately 1700 nmol/min/mg) contain approximately 2 clusters/mol. In contrast, hydroxylase preparations exhibiting a wide range of specific activities below 500 nmol/min/mg contain approximately 1 cluster/mol on average. Efficient turnover coupled to NADH oxidation requires all three protein components. However, both alkanes and alkenes are hydroxylated by the chemically reduced hydroxylase under single turnover conditions in the absence of component B and the reductase. Neither of these components catalyzes hydroxylation individually nor do they significantly affect the yield of hydroxylated product from the chemically reduced hydroxylase. Hydroxylase reduced only to the mixed valent [Fe(II).Fe(III)] state is unreactive toward O2 and yields little hydroxylated product on single turnover. This suggests that the catalytically active species is the fully reduced form. The data presented here provide the first evidence based on catalysis that the site of the monooxygenation reaction is located on the hydroxylase. It thus appears likely that the oxo-bridged iron cluster is capable of catalyzing oxygenase reactions without the intervention of other cofactors. This is a novel function for this type of cluster and implies a new mechanism for the generation of highly reactive oxygen capable of insertion into unactivated carbon-hydrogen bonds.     

Purification and characterisation of the NADH:acceptor reductase component of xylene monooxygenase encoded by the TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida mt-2.

The xylene monooxygenase system encoded by the TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida catalyses the hydroxylation of a methyl side-chain of toluene and xylenes. Genetic studies have suggested that this monooxygenase consists of two different proteins, products of the xylA and xylM genes, which function as an electron-transfer protein and a terminal hydroxylase, respectively. In this study, the electron-transfer component of xylene monooxygenase, the product of xylA, was purified to homogeneity. Fractions containing the xylA gene product were identified by its NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity. The molecular mass of the enzyme was determined to be 40 kDa by SDS/PAGE, and 42 kDa by gel filtration. The enzyme was found to contain 1 mol/mol of tightly but not covalently bound FAD, as well as 2 mol/mol of non-haem iron and 2 mol/mol of acid-labile sulfide, suggesting the presence of two redox centers, one FAD and one [2Fe-2S] cluster/protein molecule. The oxidised form of the protein had absorbance maxima at 457 nm and 390 nm, with shoulders at 350 nm and 550 nm. These absorbance maxima disappeared upon reduction of the protein by NADH or dithionite. The NADH:acceptor reductase was capable of reducing either one- or two-electron acceptors, such as horse heart cytochrome c or 2,6-dichloroindophenol, at an optimal pH of 8.5. The reductase was found to have a Km value for NADH of 22 microM. The oxidation of NADH was determined to be stereospecific; the enzyme is pro-R (class A enzyme). The titration of the reductase with NADH or dithionite yielded three distinct reduced forms of the enzyme: the reduction of the [2Fe-2S] center occurred with a midpoint redox potential of -171 mV; and the reduction of FAD to FAD. (semiquinone form), with a calculated midpoint redox potential of -244 mV. The reduction of FAD. to FAD.. (dihydroquinone form), the last stage of the titration, occurred with a midpoint redox potential of -297 mV. The [2Fe-2S] center could be removed from the protein by treatment with an excess of mersalyl acid. The [2Fe-2S]-depleted protein was still reduced by NADH, giving rise to the formation of the anionic flavin semiquinone observed in the native enzyme, thus suggesting that the electron flow was NADH --> FAD --> [2Fe-2S] in this reductase. The resulting protein could no longer reduce cytochrome c, but could reduce 2,6-dichloroindophenol at a reduced rate.     

Redox properties of the hydroxylase component of methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath). Effects of protein B, reductase, and substrate.

The reduction potentials of the hydroxylase component of the soluble methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) have been investigated through potentiometric titrations. The potentials were determined by EPR spectroscopic quantitation of the mixed valent hydroxylase as a function of added sodium dithionite in the presence of appropriate mediators. The reduction of the oxidized Fe(III).Fe(III) form to the mixed valent Fe(II).Fe(III) form occurs at 48 mV versus NHE while the potential for the formation of the fully reduced Fe(II).Fe(II) species from the mixed valent form was determined to be -135 mV. Addition of the substrate propylene to the hydroxylase did not have a major effect on the reduction potentials. Introduction of the protein B and the reductase components, however, completely inhibited reduction of the hydroxylase at potentials as far negative as -200 mV. Addition of propylene to all three methane monooxygenase components greatly facilitated hydroxylase reduction. Under these conditions, the fully reduced form of the protein was obtained at potentials of greater than 150 mV. This high redox potential indicates that the oxidized form of the protein is highly reactive, as required for methane oxidation. The present results reveal aspects of how both protein B and substrate can regulate electron transfer into and out of the hydroxylase component of methane monooxygenase.     

Sunflower Nitrate Reductase: Purification and Characterization

A single isoform, NADH: nitrate reductase (NR), was purified 500 folds from sunflower leaves by affinity chromatography on Blue Sepharose CL-6B. Purified NR had a pH optima of 7.25 and a molecular weight of 210 kD. In SDS-PAGE, two bands of 47 and 56 kD were obtained. NADH: ferric citrate reductase activity was copurified with NR with a specific activity of 2. The Vmax of NADH: ferric citrate reductase was 8.69 units mg^-1 protein and the apparent Km for ferric citrate was 0.435 mM.     

Further characterisation of the FAD and Fe2S2 redox centres of component C, the NADH:acceptor reductase of the soluble methane monooxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath)

The absorbance contributions of the FAD and Fe2S2 redox centres of component C of the soluble methane monooxygenase complex have been resolved, using mersalyl to destroy the Fe2S2 centre. The Fe2S2 seems to be very similar to that of spinach ferredoxin, by its absorbance and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, and the FAD semiquinone is a neutral semiquinone. Spectrophotometry near room temperature and EPR spectroscopy near liquid-helium temperature allow the three redox couples of component C to be ordered. Component C can exist in Oe-1 (oxidised), 1e-1 (semiquinone), 2e-1 (mostly semiquinone and reduced Fe2S2), and 3e-1 forms (dihydroquinone and reduced Fe2S2), under equilibrium conditions. The ability of component C to support odd-electron forms is consistent with its proposed role as a 2e-1/1e-1 transformase, splitting electron pairs from NADH for passage to component A in one-electron steps. (The FAD appears to interact with NADH, and transfers single electrons to the Fe2S2, for donation to component A at a constant redox potential.) The mid-point potentials of component C were found using redox dyes and EPR spectroscopy and were: FAD/FAD., Em = -150 mV; Fe2S2/Fe2.S2,Em = -220 mV; FAD./FAD..,Em = -260 mV. the presence of NADH did not alter these mid-point potentials. These mid-point potentials are consistent with the role of component C as the NADH:component A reductase, passing electrons from NADH (Em = -320 mV) onto component A (Em = +150 mV and Em = -150 mV). The reducing power from NADH appears to be required by component A to activate one atom of oxygen, to insert into methane, and the reducing equivalents derived from NADH end up with the other oxygen atom, as water.     

Complex formation between the protein components of methane monooxygenase from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. Identification of sites of component interaction.

Kinetic, spectroscopic, and chemical evidence for the formation of specific catalytically essential complexes between the three protein components of the soluble form of methane monooxygenase from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b is reported. The effects of the concentrations of the reductase and component B on the hydroxylation activity of the reconstituted enzyme system has been numerically simulated based on a kinetic model which assumes formation of multiple high affinity complexes with the hydroxylase component during catalysis. The formation of several of these complexes has been directly demonstrated. By using EPR spectroscopy, the binding of approximately 2 mol of component B/mol of hydroxylase (subunit structure (alpha beta gamma)2) is shown to significantly change the electronic environment of the mu-(H/R)-oxo-bridged binuclear iron cluster of the hydroxylase in both the mixed valent (Fe(II).Fe(III)) and fully reduced (Fe(II).Fe(II)) states. Protein-protein complexes between the reductase and component B as well as between the reductase and hydroxylase have been shown to form by monitoring quenching of the tryptophan fluorescence spectrum of either the component B (KD approximately 0.4 microM) or hydroxylase (two binding sites, KDa approximately 10 nM, KDb approximately 8 microM). The observed KD values are in agreement with the best fit values from the kinetic simulation. Through the use of the covalent zero length cross-linking reagent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC), the binding sites of the component B and reductase were shown to be on the hydroxylase alpha and beta subunits, respectively. The alpha and beta subunits of the hydroxylase are cross-linked by EDC suggesting that they are juxtaposed. EDC also caused the rapid loss of the ability of the monomeric component B to stimulate the hydroxylation reaction suggesting that cross-linking of reactive groups on the protein surface had occurred. This effect was inhibited by the presence of hydroxylase and was accompanied by a loss of the ability of the component B to bind to the hydroxylase. Thus, formation of a component B-hydroxylase complex is apparently required for effective catalysis linked to NADH oxidation. When present in concentrations greater than required to saturate the initial hydroxylase complex, component B inhibited both the rate of the enzymic reaction and the cross-linking of the reductase to the hydroxylase. This suggests that a second complex involving component B can form that negatively regulates catalysis by preventing formation of the reductase-hydroxylase complex.     

Purification and properties of membrane-bound methane hydroxylase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Methylococcus capsulatus</Emphasis> (Strain M)

Membrane fraction of Methylococcus capsulatus (strain M) were treated with [¹⁴C]acetylene, an affinity label binding to the active center of membrane-bound methane monooxygenase (MMO). High-purity particulate form of methane hydroxylase (pMH) was obtained by ion exchange and hydrophobic chromatography. According to SDS-PAGE data, the enzyme contained three polypeptides with molecular weights of 47 (α), 27 (β), and 25 (γ) kDa in the ratio 1: 1: 1. The radiolabel was contained in the β-subunit of pMH. The protein contained 1 or 2 atoms of nonheme iron and 2–4 atoms of copper per a minimum molecular weight of 99 kDa. This protein did not oxidize methane or propylene in the presence of NADH but was able to oxidize low quantities of methane in the presence of duroquinol. It was established that methanol dehydrogenase (MD) and NADH oxidoreductase (NADH-OR) are peripheral membrane proteins. Possible causes of low activity of high-purity methane hydroxylase are discussed.
