Rapid reaction kinetics of the flavoprotein anthranilate hydroxylase from Trichosporon cutaneum were examined for reactions involving anthranilate, the native substrate. As was reported earlier for the nonhydroxylated substrate analogue, salicylate, some reactions in the first turnover with anthranilate occur slower than those in subsequent turnovers (Powlowski, J., Massey, V., and Ballou, D. P. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 5606-5612). Evidence is presented for slow conformational changes that occur both on binding of the aromatic ligand and on reduction of the enzyme. These changes are apparently important for rapid anthranilate binding to occur in turnovers subsequent to the first. Moreover, bound anthranilate is required for rapid reduction of enzyme-bound FAD by NADPH. Studies to probe the accessibility of reagents to modified flavins that had been incorporated into the apoenzyme indicate that anthranilate binding causes a conformational change in the protein, allowing increased access to the benzene ring moiety of the flavin. An unusual isotope effect with (R)-NADPD (4(R)-2H] NADPH) is observed on Kd rather than on kred, which is consistent with a model involving slow interconversion of enzyme-substrate complexes before productive binding of NADPH and reduction of the enzyme flavin. 相似文献

Tetrachlorohydroquinone dehalogenase catalyzes two successive reductive dehalogenation reactions in the pathway for degradation of pentachlorophenol in the soil bacterium Sphingobium chlorophenolicum. We have used pre-steady-state kinetic methods to probe both the mechanism and the rates of elementary steps in the initial stages of the reductive dehalogenation reaction. Binding of trichlorohydroquinone (TriCHQ) to the active site is followed by rapid deprotonation to form TriCHQ-2 and subsequent formation of 3,5,6-trichloro-4-hydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dienone (TriCHQ*). Further conversion of TriCHQ* to 2,6-dichlorohydroquinone (DCHQ) proceeds only in the presence of glutathione. Conversion of TriCHQ to DCHQ during the first turnover is quite rapid, occurring at about 25 s-1 when the enzyme is saturated with TriCHQ and glutathione. The rate of subsequent turnovers is limited by the rate of the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction required to regenerate the free enzyme after turnover, a reaction that is intrinsically less difficult, but is hampered by premature binding of the aromatic substrate to the active site before the catalytic cycle is completed. 相似文献

Apo-p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase was reconstituted using 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-arabino-FAD, a synthetic flavin in which the hydroxyl of the 2'-center of the ribityl chain was replaced with fluorine in an inverted configuration. The absorbance spectral changes caused by the binding of either p-hydroxybenzoate (pOHB) or 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate (2,4-diOHB) indicated that the isoalloxazine of the artificial flavin adopts the more solvent-exposed "out" conformation rather than the partially buried "in" conformation near the aromatic substrate. In contrast, the flavin of the natural enzyme adopts the in conformation when pOHB is bound. Much of the behavior of the artificial enzyme can be rationalized in light of the preference of the flavin for the out conformation, including the weaker binding of pOHB, the tighter binding of 2,4-diOHB, and the slower reactions involved in the hydroxylation of pOHB and 2,4-diOHB. Particularly noteworthy is the enhancement of the reduction of the flavin by NADPH when pOHB is bound to the active site, consistent with the recent finding that the reaction occurs when the flavin adopts the out conformation (Palfey, B. A., Moran, G. R., Entsch, B., Ballou, D. P., and Massey, V. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 1153-1158). Thus, whereas the change that induces the out conformation is detrimental to the oxidative half-reaction, it improves the reductive half-reaction, showing that the control of the flavin position in p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase represents a compromise between the conflicting needs of two chemically disparate half-reactions, and demonstrating that the 2'-hydroxyl of FAD can serve as a critical control element in flavoenzyme catalysis. 相似文献

The reaction of pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase with reducing and oxidizing substrates has been studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry, redox potentiometry, and X-ray crystallography. We show in the reductive half-reaction of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) reductase that NADPH binds to form an enzyme-NADPH charge transfer intermediate prior to hydride transfer from the nicotinamide coenzyme to FMN. In the oxidative half-reaction, the two-electron-reduced enzyme reacts with several substrates including nitroester explosives (glycerol trinitrate and PETN), nitroaromatic explosives (trinitrotoluene (TNT) and picric acid), and alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (2-cyclohexenone). Oxidation of the flavin by the nitroaromatic substrate TNT is kinetically indistinguishable from formation of its hydride-Meisenheimer complex, consistent with a mechanism involving direct nucleophilic attack by hydride from the flavin N5 atom at the electron-deficient aromatic nucleus of the substrate. The crystal structures of complexes of the oxidized enzyme bound to picric acid and TNT are consistent with direct hydride transfer from the reduced flavin to nitroaromatic substrates. The mode of binding the inhibitor 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) is similar to that observed with picric acid and TNT. In this position, however, the aromatic nucleus is not activated for hydride transfer from the flavin N5 atom, thus accounting for the lack of reactivity with 2,4-DNP. Our work with PETN reductase establishes further a close relationship to the Old Yellow Enzyme family of proteins but at the same time highlights important differences compared with the reactivity of Old Yellow Enzyme. Our studies provide a structural and mechanistic rationale for the ability of PETN reductase to react with the nitroaromatic explosive compounds TNT and picric acid and for the inhibition of enzyme activity with 2,4-DNP. 相似文献

The transient kinetics of the reaction of the estrogen binding protein (EBP1) from Candida albicans in which hydride is transferred from NADPH to trans-2-hexenal (HXL) in two half-reactions were analyzed using UV-visible spectrophotometric and fluorometric stopped-flow techniques. The simplest model of the first half-reaction involves four steps including very rapid, tight binding (K(d) = 50 nM) characterized by loss of NADPH fluorescence, subsequent rapid formation of a charge-transfer complex between NADPH and oxidized enzyme-bound flavin mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor, followed by rate-limiting reduction of the FMN, and finally dissociation of the oxidized pyridine nucleotide. The UV-visible absorbance behavior of this half-reaction is described by two apparent phases, with k(f)(obs) = 355 +/- 6 and k(s)(obs) = 3.30 +/- 0.03 s(-)(1), for the fast and slow phases, respectively. The reaction has also been evaluated in terms of the full, multi-equilibrium reaction scheme, and microscopic rate constants that lead to the observed behavior have been determined through convergent experimental techniques and computer simulation. Significant intrinsic kinetic isotope effects were noted on both the bond cleavage step and the preceding formation of the charge-transfer complex. The enzyme is reoxidized by transfer of hydride from the FMN to HXL in the second half-reaction that appears to consist of substrate binding to form a Michaelis-type complex and the subsequent chemical step. Characterization of the reaction in this simple manner allows determination of an apparent K(d) = 100 +/- 9 microM for the reduced enzyme.HXL complex. 相似文献

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (PHBH) is an FAD-dependent monooxygenase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of p-hydroxybenzoate (pOHB) to 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate in an NADPH-dependent reaction. Two structural features are coupled to control the reactivity of PHBH with NADPH: a proton-transfer network that allows protons to be passed between the sequestered active site and solvent and a flavin that adopts two positions: "in", where the flavin is near pOHB, and "out", where the flavin is near NADPH. PHBH uses the proton-transfer network to test for the presence of a suitable aromatic substrate before allowing the flavin to adopt the NADPH-accessible conformation. In this work, kinetic analysis of the His72Asn mutant, with a disrupted proton-transfer network, showed that flavin movement could occur in the presence or absence of NADPH but that NADPH stimulated movement to the reactive conformation required for hydride transfer. Substrate and solvent isotope effects on the transient kinetics of reduction of the His72Asn mutant showed that proton transfer was linked to flavin movement and that the conformational change occurred in a step separate from that of hydride transfer. Proton transfers during the reductive half-reaction were observed directly in the wild-type enzyme by performing experiments in the presence of a fluorescent pH-indicator dye in unbuffered solutions. NADPH binding caused rapid proton release from the enzyme, followed by proton uptake after flavin reduction. Solvent and substrate kinetic isotope effects showed that proton-coupled flavin movement and reduction also occurred in different steps in wild-type PHBH. These results allow a detailed kinetic scheme to be proposed for the reductive half-reaction of the wild-type enzyme. Three kinetic models considered for substrate-induced isomerization are analyzed in the Appendix. 相似文献

The mechanism of phenol hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.7) has been studied by steady state and rapid reaction kinetic techniques. Both techniques give results consistent with the Bi Uni Uni Bi ping-pong mechanism proposed for other flavin-containing aromatic hydroxylases. The enzyme binds phenolic substrate and NADPH in that order, followed by reduction of the flavin and release of NADP+. A transient charge transfer complex between reduced enzyme and NADP+ can be detected. Molecular oxygen then reacts with the reduced enzyme-substrate complex. Two to three flavin-oxygen intermediates can be detected in the oxidative half-reaction depending on the substrate, provided monovalent anions are present. Oxygen transfer is complete with the formation of the second intermediate. Based on its UV absorption spectrum and on the fact that oxygen transfer has taken place, the last of these intermediates is presumably the flavin C(4a)-hydroxide. Monovalent anions are uncompetitive inhibitors of phenol hydroxylase. The mechanistic step most affected is the dehydration of the flavin C(4a)-hydroxide to give oxidized enzyme. Chloride also kinetically stabilizes the blue flavin semiquinone of phenol hydroxylase during photoreduction. These data suggest binding of monovalent anions results in stabilization of a proton on the N(5) position of the flavin. 相似文献

Amadoriase is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deglycation of Amadori products (fructosyl amino acids or aliphatic amines) to yield free amine, glucosone, and hydrogen peroxide. The mechanism of action of amadoriase I from Aspergillus sp. has been investigated by stopped-flow kinetic studies using fructosyl propylamine and O(2) as substrates in 10 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.9, 4 degrees C. Using both substrate analogues and fast kinetic techniques, the active configuration of the substrate was found to be the beta-pyranose form. Stopped-flow studies showed that the reductive half-reaction is triphasic and generates intermediates that absorb at long wavelengths and is consistent either with (i) the reaction of the substrate with the flavin followed by iminium deprotonation or hydrolysis and then product release or with (ii) the formation of flavin reduction intermediates (carbanion equivalents or adducts), followed by product release. The rate of product release after flavin reduction is lower than the aerobic turnover rate, 14.4 s(-1), suggesting that it is not involved in the catalytic cycle and that reoxidation of the reduced enzyme occurs in the E(red)-product complex. In the oxidative half-reaction, the reduced flavin is oxidized by O(2) in a single phase. The observed rate constant has a linear dependence on oxygen concentration, giving a bimolecular rate constant of 4.9 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) in the absence of product, and 3.6 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) when the product is bound. The redox potentials of amadoriase have been measured at pH 7.0, 25 degrees, giving values of +48 and -52 mV for the oxidized enzyme/anionic semiquinone and anionic semiquinone/reduced enzyme couples, respectively. 相似文献

The pH dependence of the redox behavior of anthranilate hydroxylase from Trichosporon cutaneum in its uncomplexed and anthranilate-complexed forms, as well as the effects on the reduction potential, at pH 7.4, of enzyme in complex with 3-methylanthranilate, salicylate, 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide phosphates, and azide plus anthranilate, is described. At pH 7.4 the midpoint potential of uncomplexed enzyme (EFlox/EFlredH-) is -0.229 V vs SHE, close to that of free flavin. The aromatic substrates and effector all shift the midpoint potential value in a positive direction by 0.068-0.100 V. This shift results in thermodynamically more favorable reduction of the substrate/effector-complexed enzyme by NADPH. Consistent with thermodynamic considerations, the aromatic substrates (or effector) are bound to the reduced enzyme 2-4 orders of magnitude more tightly than to the oxidized enzyme. The tighter binding of the substrate to the two-electron-reduced enzyme may be related to the double hydroxylation reaction performed by this enzyme, which is a more complex reaction than is carried out by typical flavoprotein hydroxylases. The acetylpyridine nucleotides appear to have no significant regulatory role. 相似文献

2-Hydroxybiphenyl 3-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.44) from Pseudomonas azelaica HBP1 is an FAD-dependent aromatic hydroxylase that catalyzes the conversion of 2-hydroxybiphenyl to 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl in the presence of NADH and oxygen. The catalytic mechanism of this three-substrate reaction was investigated at 7 degrees C by stopped-flow absorption spectroscopy. Various individual steps associated with catalysis were readily observed at pH 7.5, the optimum pH for enzyme turnover. Anaerobic reduction of the free enzyme by NADH is a biphasic process, most likely reflecting the presence of two distinct enzyme forms. Binding of 2-hydroxybiphenyl stimulated the rate of enzyme reduction by NADH by 2 orders of magnitude. The anaerobic reduction of the enzyme-substrate complex involved the formation of a transient charge-transfer complex between the reduced flavin and NAD(+). A similar transient intermediate was formed when the enzyme was complexed with the substrate analog 2-sec-butylphenol or with the non-substrate effector 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl. Excess NAD(+) strongly stabilized the charge-transfer complexes but did not give rise to the appearance of any intermediate during the reduction of uncomplexed enzyme. Free reduced 2-hydroxybiphenyl 3-monooxygenase reacted rapidly with oxygen to form oxidized enzyme with no appearance of intermediates during this reaction. In the presence of 2-hydroxybiphenyl, two consecutive spectral intermediates were observed which were assigned to the flavin C(4a)-hydroperoxide and the flavin C(4a)-hydroxide, respectively. No oxygenated flavin intermediates were observed when the enzyme was in complex with 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl. Monovalent anions retarded the dehydration of the flavin C(4a)-hydroxide without stabilization of additional intermediates. The kinetic data for 2-hydroxybiphenyl 3-monooxygenase are consistent with a ternary complex mechanism in which the aromatic substrate has strict control in both the reductive and oxidative half-reaction in a way that reactions leading to substrate hydroxylation are favored over those leading to the futile formation of hydrogen peroxide. NAD(+) release from the reduced enzyme-substrate complex is the slowest step in catalysis. 相似文献

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas fluorescens and salicylate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida have been reconstituted with 13C- and 15N-enriched FAD. The protein preparations were studied by 13C-NMR, 15N-NMR and 31P-NMR techniques in the oxidized and in the two-electron-reduced states. The chemical shift values are compared with those of free flavin in water or chloroform. It is shown that the pi electron distribution in oxidized free p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is comparable to free flavin in water, and it is therefore suggested that the flavin ring is solvent accessible. Addition of substrate has a strong effect on several resonances, e.g. C2 and N5, which indicates that the flavin ring becomes shielded from solvent and also that a conformational change occurs involving the positive pole of an alpha-helix microdipole. In the reduced state, the flavin in p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is bound in the anionic form, i.e. carrying a negative charge at N1. The flavin is bound in a more planar configuration than when free in solution. Upon binding of substrate the resonances of N1, C10a and N10 shift upfield. It is suggested that these upfield shifts are the result of a conformational change similar, but not identical, to the one observed in the oxidized state. The 13C chemical shifts of FAD bound to apo(salicylate hydroxylase) indicate that in the oxidized state the flavin ring is also fairly solvent accessible in the free enzyme. Addition of substrate has a strong effect on the hydrogen bond formed with O4 alpha. It is suggested that this is due to the exclusion of water from the active site by the binding of substrate. In the reduced state, the flavin is anionic. Addition of substrate forces the flavin ring to adopt a more planar configuration, i.e. a sp2-hybridized N5 atom and a slightly sp3-hybridized N10 atom. The NMR results are discussed in relation to the reaction catalyzed by the enzymes. 相似文献

The kinetic mechanism of D-amino acid oxidase with D-alpha-aminobutyrate as substrate. Effect of enzyme concentration on the kinetics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kinetic mechanism of hog kidney D-amino acid oxidase with D-alpha-aminobutyrate as substrate has been examined in detail using a combination of steady state and rapid reaction methods. At concentrations of D-alpha-aminobutyrate below 0.5 mM, the rapid reaction and steady state results are consistent with the mechanism previously proposed for D-alanine (Massey, V., and Gibson, Q. H. (1964) Fed. Proc. 23, 18-29; Porter, D. J. T., Voet, J. G., and Bright, H. J. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 4464-4473). Both flavin reduction by D-alpha-aminobutyrate and reoxidation are quite rapid. Release of product from the oxidized enzyme has been measured directly and matches the turnover number at infinite concentrations of both substrates. Substitution of deuterium for the alpha-hydrogen decreases the rate of reduction 1.4-fold, without any effect on the apparent Kd. Computer simulations show that the kinetic isotope effects on the reductive half-reaction with D-alanine reported by Porter et al. (see above reference) can be explained using a two-step model with a kinetic isotope effect of 1.75 on the limiting rate of reduction. The effect of enzyme concentration on the kinetics has been examined in some detail. With D-alanine as substrate, increasing the enzyme concentration over the range 29 nM to 17 microM resulted in less than a 2-fold decrease in the turnover number. The Kd for benzoate binding also decreased marginally with increasing enzyme concentration. The effect of enzyme concentration is consistent with a decrease in the rate of release of ligands from the oxidized enzyme as the enzyme concentration is increased. 相似文献

The oxidation of choline catalyzed by choline oxidase includes two reductive half-reactions where FAD is reduced by the alcohol substrate and by an aldehyde intermediate transiently formed in the reaction. Each reductive half-reaction is followed by an oxidative half-reaction where the reduced flavin is oxidized by oxygen. Here, we have used mutagenesis to prepare the Ser101Ala mutant of choline oxidase and have investigated the impact of this mutation on the structural and kinetic properties of the enzyme. The crystallographic structure of the Ser101Ala enzyme indicates that the only differences between the mutant and wild-type enzymes are the lack of a hydroxyl group on residue 101 and a more planar configuration of the flavin in the mutant enzyme. Kinetics established that replacement of Ser101 with alanine yields a mutant enzyme with increased efficiencies in the oxidative half-reactions and decreased efficiencies in the reductive half-reactions. This is accompanied by a significant decrease in the overall rate of turnover with choline. Thus, this mutation has revealed the importance of a specific residue for the optimization of the overall turnover of choline oxidase, which requires fine-tuning of four consecutive half-reactions for the conversion of an alcohol to a carboxylic acid. 相似文献

In the crystal structure of native p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, Ser212 is within hydrogen bonding distance (2.7 A) of one of the carboxylic oxygens of p-hydroxybenzoate. In this study, we have mutated residue 212 to alanine to study the importance of the serine hydrogen bond to enzyme function. Comparisons between mutant and wild type (WT) enzymes with the natural substrate p-hydroxybenzoate showed that this residue contributes to substrate binding. The dissociation constant for this substrate is 1 order of magnitude higher than that of WT, but the catalytic process is otherwise unchanged. When the alternate substrate, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate, is used, two products are formed (2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoate and 2,4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate), which demonstrates that this substrate can be bound in two orientations. Kinetic studies provide evidence that the intermediate with a high extinction coefficient previously observed in the oxidative half-reaction of the WT enzyme with this substrate is composed of contributions from both the dienone form of the product and the C4a-hydroxyflavin. During the reduction of the enzyme-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate complex by NADPH with 2, 4-dihydroxybenzoate, a rapid transient increase in flavin absorbance is observed prior to hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD. This is direct evidence for movement of the flavin before reduction occurs. 相似文献

Sarcosine oxidase contains 1 mol of covalently bound plus 1 mol of noncovalently bound FAD per active site. The first phase of the anaerobic reduction of the enzyme with sarcosine converts oxidized enzyme to an equilibrium mixture of two-electron-reduced forms (EH2) and occurs at a rate (2700 min-1, pH 8.0) similar to that determined for the maximum rate of aerobic turnover in steady-state kinetic studies (2600 min-1). The second phase of the anaerobic half-reaction converts EH2 to the four-electron-reduced enzyme (EH4) and occurs at a rate (k = 350 min-1) which is 7-fold slower than aerobic turnover. Reaction of EH2 with oxygen is 1.7-fold faster (k = 4480 min-1) than aerobic turnover and 13-fold faster than the anaerobic conversion of EH2 to EH4. The results suggest that the enzyme cycles between fully oxidized and two-electron-reduced forms during turnover with sarcosine. The long wavelength absorbance observed for EH2 is attributable to a flavin biradical (FADH.FAD.-) which is generated in about 50% yield at pH 8.0 and in nearly quantitative yield at pH 7.0. The rate of biradical formation is determined by the rate of electron transfer from sarcosine to the noncovalent flavin since electron equilibration between the two flavins (k = 750 s-1 or 45,000 min-1, pH 8.0) is nearly 20-fold faster, as determined in pH-jump experiments. Only two of the three possible isoelectronic forms of EH2 are likely to transfer electrons to oxygen since the reaction is known to occur at the covalent flavin. However, equilibration among EH2 forms is probably maintained during reoxidation, consistent with the observed monophasic kinetics, since interflavin electron transfer is 10-fold faster than electron transfer to oxygen. 相似文献

Bacterial luciferase: demonstration of a catalytically competent altered conformational state following a single turnover 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ziegler-Nicoli et al. [Ziegler-Nicoli, M., Meighen, E. A., & Hastings, J. W. (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 2385-2392] reported that a highly reactive cysteinyl residue on the alpha subunit of bacterial luciferase resides in or near the flavin binding site such that the enzyme-flavin complex is protected from inactivation by alkylating reagents. These authors also observed that injection of reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNH2) into an air-equilibrated solution of enzyme protected the enzyme from alkylation for much longer than the lifetime of the 4a-peroxydihydroflavin intermediate resulting from reaction of enzyme-bound FMNH2 with O2. Two related explanations were offered: either the product flavin mononucleotide dissociated from the enzyme much more slowly following a catalytic cycle than would be predicted from the Kd measured by equilibrium binding or the enzyme itself, without bound flavin, was in an altered conformational state in which the thiol was less reactive following a catalytic cycle. Either explanation involves a slow return of the enzyme to its initial state following a catalytic cycle. We have investigated this phenomenon in more detail and found that rapid removal of the flavin from the enzyme by chromatography following catalytic turnover did not return the enzyme to its original state of susceptibility to either alkylating reagents or proteolytic enzymes. The flavin-free enzyme returned to the susceptible conformation with a half-time of ca. 25 min at 0 degree C. Inactivation of the enzyme at intermediate times of relaxation by either a proteolytic enzyme or an alkylating reagent showed biphasic kinetics, indicative of a mixture of the protected and susceptible forms.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

EtaA is a newly identified FAD-containing monooxygenase that is responsible for activation of several thioamide prodrugs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It was found that purified EtaA displays a remarkably low activity with the antitubercular prodrug ethionamide. Hinted by the presence of a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase sequence motif in the EtaA sequence, we have been able to identify a large number of novel EtaA substrates. It was discovered that the enzyme converts a wide range of ketones to the corresponding esters or lactones via a Baeyer-Villiger reaction, indicating that EtaA represents a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase. With the exception of aromatic ketones (phenylacetone and benzylacetone), long-chain ketones (e.g. 2-hexanone and 2-dodecanone) also are converted. EtaA is also able to catalyze enantioselective sulfoxidation of methyl-p-tolylsulfide. Conversion of all of the identified substrates is relatively slow with typical k(cat) values of around 0.02 s(-1). The best substrate identified so far is phenylacetone (K(m) = 61 microM, k(cat) = 0.017 s(-1)). Redox monitoring of the flavin cofactor during turnover of phenylacetone indicates that a step in the reductive half-reaction is limiting the rate of catalysis. Intriguingly, EtaA activity could be increased by one order of magnitude by adding bovine serum albumin. This reactivity and substrate acceptance-profiling study provides valuable information concerning this newly identified prodrug activator from M. tuberculosis. 相似文献

The mechanism of flavin reduction in morphinone reductase (MR) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) reductase, and flavin oxidation in MR, has been studied by stopped-flow and steady-state kinetic methods. The temperature dependence of the primary kinetic isotope effect for flavin reduction in MR and PETN reductase by nicotinamide coenzyme indicates that quantum mechanical tunneling plays a major role in hydride transfer. In PETN reductase, the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is essentially independent of temperature in the experimentally accessible range, contrasting with strongly temperature-dependent reaction rates, consistent with a tunneling mechanism from the vibrational ground state of the reactive C-H/D bond. In MR, both the reaction rates and the KIE are dependent on temperature, and analysis using the Eyring equation suggests that hydride transfer has a major tunneling component, which, unlike PETN reductase, is gated by thermally induced vibrations in the protein. The oxidative half-reaction of MR is fully rate-limiting in steady-state turnover with the substrate 2-cyclohexenone and NADH at saturating concentrations. The KIE for hydride transfer from reduced flavin to the alpha/beta unsaturated bond of 2-cyclohexenone is independent of temperature, contrasting with strongly temperature-dependent reaction rates, again consistent with ground-state tunneling. A large solvent isotope effect (SIE) accompanies the oxidative half-reaction, which is also independent of temperature in the experimentally accessible range. Double isotope effects indicate that hydride transfer from the flavin N5 atom to 2-cyclohexenone, and the protonation of 2-cyclohexenone, are concerted and both the temperature-independent KIE and SIE suggest that this reaction also proceeds by ground-state quantum tunneling. Our results demonstrate the importance of quantum tunneling in the reduction of flavins by nicotinamide coenzymes. This is the first observation of (i) three H-nuclei in an enzymic reaction being transferred by tunneling and (ii) the utilization of both passive and active dynamics within the same native enzyme. 相似文献

A mutant form of mercuric reductase, which has three of its four catalytically essential cysteine residues replaced by alanines (ACAA: Ala135Cys140Ala558Ala559), has been constructed and used for mechanistic investigations. With disruption of the Hg(II) binding site, the mutant enzyme is devoid of Hg(II) reductase activity. However, it appears to fold properly since it binds FAD normally and exhibits very tight binding of pyridine nucleotides as is seen with the wild-type enzyme. This mutant enzyme allows quantitative accumulation of two species thought to function as intermediates in the catalytic sequence of the flavoprotein disulfide reductase family of enzymes. NADPH reduces the flavin in this mutant, and a stabilized E-FADH- form accumulates. The second intermediate is a flavin C(4a)-Cys140 thiol adduct, which is quantitatively accumulated by reaction of oxidized ACAA enzyme with NADP+. The conversion of the Cys135-Cys140 disulfide in wild-type enzyme to the monothiol Cys140 in ACAA and the elevated pKa of Cys140 (6.7 vs 5.0 in wild type) have permitted detection of these intermediates at low pH (5.0). The rates of formation of E-FADH- and the breakdown of the flavin C(4a)-thiol adduct have been measured and indicate that both intermediates are kinetically competent for both the reductive half-reaction and turnover by wild-type enzyme. These results validate the general proposal that electrons flow from NADPH to FADH- to C(4a)-thiol adduct to the FAD/dithiol form that accumulates as the EH2 form in the reductive half-reaction for this class of enzymes. 相似文献

Studies of electron-transfer properties of salicylate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas cepacia and effects of salicylate and benzoate binding 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The pH dependence of the redox behavior of salicylate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas cepacia as well as the effects of salicylate, benzoate, and chloride binding is described. At pH 7.6 in 0.02 M potassium phosphate buffer E1(0')(EFl ox/EFl.-) is -0.150 V and E2(0')(EFl.-/EFl red H-) is -0.040 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). A maximum of 5% of FAD anion semiquinone is thermodynamically stabilized under these conditions. However, in coulometric and dithionite titrations more semiquinone is kinetically formed, indicating slow transfer of the second electron. The potential/pH dependence is consistent with a two-electron, one-proton transfer. Upon salicylate binding the midpoint potential is shifted 0.020 V negative from -0.094 to -0.114 V vs SHE at pH 7.6. A maximum of 7% of the neutral semiquinone is stabilized both in potentiometric and coulometric titrations. This small potential shift indicates that the substrate is bound nearly to the same extent to all three oxidation states of the enzyme. It is clear that the substrate binding does not make the reduction of the flavin thermodynamically more favorable. In contrast to salicylate, the potential shift caused by the effector, benzoate, is much more significant. (A maximum potential shift of -0.07 V is calculated.) Benzoate binds most tightly to the oxidized form and is least tightly bound to the two-electron-reduced form of the enzyme. For the reduction of the free enzyme the transfer of the second electron or the transfer of the proton is rate limiting, as is shown by the kinetic formation of the anionic semiquinone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
