Two-step concerted mechanism for alkane hydroxylation on the ferryl active site of methane monooxygenase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A two-step concerted mechanism for the conversion of methane to methanol catalyzed by soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO)
is discussed. We propose that the enzymatic reaction mechanism is essentially the same as that of the gas-phase methane-methanol
conversion by the bare FeO+ complex. In the initial stage of our mechanism, the ferryl (Fe—O) "iron" active site of intermediate Q and substrate methane come into contact to form the initial Q (CH4) complex with an OFe—CH4 bond. The C—H bonds of methane are significantly weakened by the formation of a five-coordinate carbon species, through orbital
interactions between a C

-distorted methane and the Fe—O active site. The important transition state for an H atom abstraction exhibits a four-centered
structure. The generated intermediate involves an HO—Fe—CH3 moiety, and it is then converted into the final product complex including methanol as a ligand through a methyl migration
that occurs via a three-centered transition state. The two-step concerted mechanism is consistent with recent experiments
on regioselectivity of enzyme-catalyzed alkane hydroxylations.

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes, grouped into seven different classes, which catalyze the reaction of CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons. All of the fifteen human isoforms reported to date belong to the α-class and contain zinc as a cofactor. The structure of human Zn,Cu-CA II has been solved which contains a copper ion bound at its N-terminal, coordinated to His4 and His64. In the active site a dioxygen molecule is coordinated to the zinc ion. Since dioxygen is a rather unexpected CA ligand, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed which suggested a superoxide character of the zinc bound O2. 相似文献

The mechanism for the oxidation of catechol by catechol oxidase has been studied using B3LYP hybrid density functional theory.
On the basis of the X-ray structure of the enzyme, the molecular system investigated includes the first-shell protein ligands
of the two metal centers as well as the second-shell ligand Cys92. The cycle starts out with the oxidized, open-shell singlet
complex with oxidation states Cu2(II,II) with a μ-η2:η2 bridging peroxide, as suggested experimentally, which is obtained from the oxidation of Cu2(I,I) by dioxygen. The substrate of each half-reaction is a catechol molecule approaching the dicopper complex: the first
half-reaction involves Cu(I) oxidation by peroxide and the second one Cu(II) reduction. The quantitative potential energy
profile of the reaction is discussed in connection with experimental data. Since no protons leave or enter the active site
during the catalytic cycle, no external base is required. Unlike the previous density functional theory study, the dicopper
complex has a charge of +2. 相似文献

The ability of PSII to extract electrons from water, with molecular oxygen as a by-product, is a remarkable biochemical and evolutionary innovation. From an evolutionary perspective, the invention of PSII approximately 2.7 Ga led to the accelerated accumulation of biomass in the biosphere and the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere, a combination that allowed for the evolution of a much more complex and extensive biosphere than would otherwise have been possible. From the biochemical and enzymatic perspective, PSII is remarkable because of the thermodynamic and kinetic obstacles that needed to have been overcome to oxidize water as the ultimate photosynthetic electron donor. This article focuses on how proton release is an integral part of how these kinetic and thermodynamic obstacles have been overcome: the sequential removal of protons from the active site of H2O-oxidation facilitates the multistep oxidation of the substrate water at the Mn4CaO x , the catalytic heart of the H2O-oxidation reaction. As noted previously, the facilitated deprotonation of the Mn4CaO x cluster exerts a redox-leveling function preventing the accumulation of excess positive charge on the cluster, which might otherwise hinder the already energetically difficult oxidation of water. Using recent results, including the characteristics of site-directed mutants, the role of the second sphere of amino acid ligands and the associated network of water molecules surrounding the Mn4CaO x is discussed in relation to proton transport in other systems. In addition to the redox-leveling function, a trapping function is assigned to the proton release step occurring immediately prior to the dioxygen chemistry. This trapping appears to involve a yet-to-be clarified gating mechanism that facilitates to coordinated release of a proton from the neighborhood of the active site thereby insuring that the backward charge-recombination reaction does not out-compete the forward reaction of dioxygen chemistry during this final step of H2O-oxidation. 相似文献

Land-Use Change and Biogeochemical Controls of Methane Fluxes in Soils of Eastern Amazonia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Tropical soils account for 10%–20% of the 15–35 Tg of atmospheric methane (CH4) consumed annually by soils, although tropical deforestation could be changing the soil sink. The objectives of this study
were (a) to quantify differences in soil CH4 fluxes among primary forest, secondary forest, active pasture, and degraded pasture in eastern Amazonia; and (b) to investigate
controlling mechanisms of CH4 fluxes, including N availability, gas-phase transport, and soil respiration. At one ranch, Fazenda Vitória, annual uptake
estimates (kg CH4ha−1 y−1) based on monthly measurements were: primary forest, 2.1; secondary forest, 1.0; active pasture, 1.3; degraded pasture, 3.1.
The lower annual uptake in the active pasture compared with the primary forest was due to CH4 production during the wet season in the pasture soils, which is consistent with findings from other studies. In contrast,
the degraded pasture was never a CH4 source. Expressing uptake as a negative flux and emission as a positive flux, CH4 fluxes were positively correlated with CO2 fluxes, indicating that root and microbial respiration in the productive pastures, and to a lesser extent in the primary
forest, contributed to the formation of anaerobic microsites where CH4 was produced, whereas this productivity was absent in the degraded pasture. In all land uses, uptake rates of atmospheric
CH4 were greater in the dry season than in the wet season, indicating the importance of soil water content and gas transport
on CH4 fluxes. These clay soils had low annual uptake rates relative to reported rates on sandy soils, which also is consistent
with gas transport within the soil being a limiting factor. Nitrogen availability indices did not correlate with CH4 fluxes, indicating that inhibition of CH4 oxidation was not an important mechanism explaining differences among land uses. At another ranch, Fazenda Agua Parada, no
significant effect of pasture age was observed along a chronosequence of pasture ages. We conclude that land-use change can
either increase or decrease the soil sink of CH4, depending on the duration of wet and dry seasons, the effects of seasonal precipitation on gas-phase transport, and the
phenology and relative productivity of the vegetation in each land use. 相似文献

The monohydroxo-bridged dicopper(II) complex (1), its reduced dicopper(I) analogue (2) and the trans-μ-1,2-peroxo-dicopper(II)
adduct (3) with the macrocyclic N-donor ligand [22]py4pz (9,22-bis(pyridin-2′-ylmethyl)-1,4,9,14,17,22,27,28,29,30- decaazapentacyclo
-[22.2.114,7.111,14.117,20]triacontane-5,7(28),11(29),12,18,20(30), 24(27),25-octaene), have been prepared and characterized, including a 3D structure
of 1 and 2. These compounds represent models of the three states of the catechol oxidase active site: met, deoxy (reduced) and oxy. The dicopper(II) complex 1 catalyzes the oxidation of catechol model substrates in aerobic conditions, while in the absence
of dioxygen a stoichiometric oxidation takes place, leading to the formation of quinone and the respective dicopper(I) complex.
The catalytic reaction follows a Michaelis–Menten behavior. The dicopper(I) complex binds molecular dioxygen at low temperature,
forming a trans-μ-1,2-peroxo-dicopper adduct, which was characterized by UV–Vis and resonance Raman spectroscopy and electrochemically.
This peroxo complex stoichiometrically oxidizes a second molecule of catechol in the absence of dioxygen. A catalytic mechanism
of catechol oxidation by 1 has been proposed, and its relevance to the mechanisms earlier proposed for the natural enzyme
and other copper complexes is discussed.

Methane formation in methanogenic Archaea is catalyzed by methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) and takes place via the reduction
of methyl-coenzyme M (CH3-S-CoM) with coenzyme B (HS-CoB) to methane and the heterodisulfide CoM-S–S-CoB. MCR harbors the nickel porphyrinoid coenzyme
F430 as a prosthetic group, which has to be in the Ni(I) oxidation state for the enzyme to be active. To date no intermediates
in the catalytic cycle of MCRred1 (red for reduced Ni) have been identified. Here, we report a detailed characterization of MCRred1m (“m” for methyl-coenzyme M), which is the complex of MCRred1a (“a” for absence of substrate) with CH3-S-CoM. Using continuous-wave and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with selective isotope
labeling (13C and 2H) of CH3-S-CoM, it is shown that CH3-S-CoM binds in the active site of MCR such that its thioether sulfur is weakly coordinated to the Ni(I) of F430. The complex is stable until the addition of the second substrate, HS-CoB. Results from EPR spectroscopy, along with quantum
mechanical calculations, are used to characterize the electronic and geometric structure of this complex, which can be regarded
as the first intermediate in the catalytic mechanism.

Tryptophan dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) are two heme-containing enzymes which catalyze the conversion
of l-tryptophan to N-formylkynurenine (NFK). In mammals, TDO is mostly expressed in liver and is involved in controlling homeostatic serum tryptophan
concentrations, whereas IDO is ubiquitous and is involved in modulating immune responses. Previous studies suggested that
the first step of the dioxygenase reaction involves the deprotonation of the indoleamine group of the substrate by an evolutionarily
conserved distal histidine residue in TDO and the heme-bound dioxygen in IDO. Here, we used classical molecular dynamics and
hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical methods to evaluate the base-catalyzed mechanism. Our data suggest that the
deprotonation of the indoleamine group of the substrate by either histidine in TDO or heme-bound dioxygen in IDO is not energetically
favorable. Instead, the dioxygenase reaction can be initiated by a direct attack of heme-bound dioxygen on the C2=C3 bond of the indole ring, leading to a protein-stabilized 2,3-alkylperoxide transition state and a ferryl epoxide intermediate,
which subsequently recombine to generate NFK. The novel sequential two-step oxygen addition mechanism is fully supported by
our recent resonance Raman data that allowed identification of the ferryl intermediate (Lewis-Ballester et al. in Proc Natl
Acad Sci USA 106:17371–17376, 2009). The results reveal the subtle differences between the TDO and IDO reactions and highlight the importance of protein matrix
in modulating stereoelectronic factors for oxygen activation and the stabilization of both transition and intermediate states. 相似文献

On the Dynamical Behavior of the Cysteine Dioxygenase‐l‐Cysteine Complex in the Presence of Free Dioxygen and l‐Cysteine 下载免费PDF全文
Francesco Pietra 《化学与生物多样性》2017,14(11)
In this work, viable models of cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) and its complex with l ‐cysteine dianion were built for the first time, under strict adherence to the crystal structure from X‐ray diffraction studies, for all atom molecular dynamics (MD). Based on the CHARMM36 FF, the active site, featuring an octahedral dummy Fe(II) model, allowed us observing water exchange, which would have escaped attention with the more popular bonded models. Free dioxygen (O2) and l ‐cysteine, added at the active site, could be observed being expelled toward the solvating medium under Random Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (RAMD) along major and minor pathways. Correspondingly, free dioxygen (O2), added to the solvating medium, could be observed to follow the same above pathways in getting to the active site under unbiased MD. For the bulky l ‐cysteine, 600 ns of trajectory were insufficient for protein penetration, and the molecule was stuck at the protein borders. These models pave the way to free energy studies of ligand associations, devised to better clarify how this cardinal enzyme behaves in human metabolism. 相似文献

The photosynthetic oxygen evolving complex (PSII-OEC) and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) not only catalyze anti-parallel
reactions (the OEC oxidizes water to dioxygen, whereas CcO reduces dioxygen to water), they also share a number of uncanny
molecular and mechanistic similarities. Both feature a redox-active polymetallic cluster that includes a key tyrosine, and
both utilize a two-phase mechanism. In one phase the polymetallic cluster undergoes four sequential one-electron transfers:
In the PSII-OEC, four successive photooxidations of the photosystem II reaction center P680 (to P680+) allows acceptance of 4 × 1e- from the Mn4Ca cluster; in CcO, four reduced cytochrome c Fe2+ cations donate 4 × 1e- to the bimetallic center. In the second phase for each enzyme, the polymetallic cluster undergoes
a single four-electron transfer with the O2/2 H2O redox couple. Intriguing mechanistic similarities between these two complex redox enzymes first delineated over a decade
ago by Hoganson/Proshlyakov/Babcock et al. are updated and expanded in this article. 相似文献

Oxalate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.4) catalyzes the conversion of oxalate and dioxygen to hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide. In this study, glycolate was used as a structural analogue of oxalate to investigate substrate binding in the crystalline enzyme. The observed monodentate binding of glycolate to the active site manganese ion of oxalate oxidase is consistent with a mechanism involving C-C bond cleavage driven by superoxide anion attack on a monodentate coordinated substrate. In this mechanism, the metal serves two functions: to organize the substrates (oxalate and dioxygen) and to transiently reduce dioxygen. The observed structure further implies important roles for specific active site residues (two asparagines and one glutamine) in correctly orientating the substrates and reaction intermediates for catalysis. Combined spectroscopic, biochemical, and structural analyses of mutants confirms the importance of the asparagine residues in organizing a functional active site complex. 相似文献

Drainage of peatlands for forestry starts a succession of ground vegetation in which mire species are gradually replaced by forest species. Some mire plant communities vanish quickly following the water-level drawdown; some may prevail longer in the moister patches of peatland. Drainage ditches, as a new kind of surface, introduce another component of spatial variation in drained peatlands. These variations were hypothesized to affect methane (CH4) fluxes from drained peatlands. Methane fluxes from different plant communities and unvegetated surfaces, including ditches, were measured at the drained part of Lakkasuo mire, Central Finland. The fluxes were found to be related to peatland site type, plant community, water-table position and soil temperature. At nutrient-rich fen sites fluxes between plant communities differed only a little: almost all plots acted as CH4 sinks (−0.9 to −0.4 mg CH4 m−2 d−1), with the exception of Eriophorum angustifolium Honck. communities, which emitted 0.9 g CH4 m−2 d−1. At nutrient-poor bog site the differences between plant communities were clearer. The highest emissions were measured from Eriophorum vaginatum L. communities (29.7 mg CH4 m−2 d−1), with a decreasing trend to Sphagna (10.0 mg CH4 m−2 d−1) and forest moss communities (2.6 mg CH4 m−2 d−1). CH4 emissions from different kinds of ditches were highly variable, and extremely high emissions (summertime averages 182–600 mg CH4 m−2 d−1) were measured from continuously water-covered ditches at the drained fen. Variability in the emissions was caused by differences in the origin and movement of water in the ditches, as well as differences in vegetation communities in the ditches. While drainage on average greatly decreases CH4 emissions from peatlands, a great spatial variability in fluxes is emerged. Emissions from ditches constantly covered with water, may in some cases have a great impact on the overall CH4 emissions from drained peatlands. 相似文献

Infrared (IR) spectra in combination with chemical analyses have recently shown that the active Ni–Fe site of the soluble
NAD+-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Ralstonia eutropha contains four cyanide groups and one carbon monoxide as ligands. Experiments presented here confirm this result, but show
that a variable percentage of enzyme molecules loses one or two of the cyanide ligands from the active site during routine
purification. For this reason the redox conditions during the purification have been optimized yielding hexameric enzyme preparations
(HoxFUYHI2) with aerobic specific H2–NAD+ activities of 150–185 μmol/min/mg of protein (up to 200% of the highest activity previously reported in the literature).
The preparations were highly homogeneous in terms of the active site composition and showed superior IR spectra. IR spectro-electrochemical
studies were consistent with the hypothesis that only reoxidation of the reduced enzyme with dioxygen leads to the inactive
state, where it is believed that a peroxide group is bound to nickel. Electron paramagnetic resonance experiments showed that
the radical signal from the NADH-reduced enzyme derives from the semiquinone form of the flavin (FMN-a) in the hydrogenase
module (HoxYH dimer), but not of the flavin (FMN-b) in the NADH-dehydrogenase module (HoxFU dimer). It is further demonstrated
that the hexameric enzyme remains active in the presence of NADPH and air, whereas NADH and air lead to rapid destruction
of enzyme activity. It is proposed that the presence of NADPH in cells keeps the enzyme in the active state. 相似文献

Unveiling the Pathways of Dioxygen Through the C2 Component of the Environmentally Relevant Monooxygenase p‐Hydroxyphenylacetate Hydroxylase from Acinetobacter baumannii: A Molecular Dynamics Investigation 下载免费PDF全文
Francesco Pietra 《化学与生物多样性》2016,13(7):954-960
In this work, models of the homotetrameric C2 component of the monooxygenase p‐hydroxyphenylacetate hydroxylase from Acinetobacter baumannii, in complex with dioxygen (O2) and, or not, the substrate p‐hydroxyphenylacetate (HPA) were built. Both models proved to be amenable to random‐acceleration molecular dynamics (RAMD) simulations, whereby a tiny randomly oriented external force, acting on O2 at the active site in front of flavin mononucleotide (FMNH?), accelerated displacement of O2 toward the bulk solvent. This allowed us to carry out a sufficiently large number of RAMD simulations to be of statistical significance. The two systems behaved very similarly under RAMD, except for O2 leaving the active site more easily in the absence of HPA, but then finding similar obstacles in getting to the gate as when the active site was sheltered by HPA. This challenges previous conclusions that HPA can only reach the active center after that the C4aOOH derivative of FMNH? is formed, requiring uptake of O2 at the active site before HPA. According to these RAMD simulations, O2 could well get to FMNH? also in the presence of the substrate at the active site. 相似文献

Peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase and dopamine β-monooxygenase are copper-containing proteins which catalyze essential
hydroxylation reactions in biological systems. There are several possible mechanisms for the reductive O2-activation at their mononuclear copper active site. Recently, Karlin and coworkers reported on the reactivity of a copper(II)–superoxo
complex which is capable of inducing the hydroxylation of phenols with incorporated oxygen atoms derived from the Cu(II)-O2
·− moiety. In the present work the reaction mechanism for the abovementioned superoxo complex with phenols is studied. The pathways
found are analyzed with the aim of providing some insight into the nature of the chemical and biological copper-promoted oxidative
processes with 1:1 Cu(I)/O2-derived species.

Two Co(salen) derivatives, Co(sal-ipsen) and Co(sal-bsen), containing pendant (CH2)2S(i-C3H7) and (CH2)2SC6H5 groups were synthesized. Electronic and ESR spectra in methylene chloride show that the former is five-coordinate with pendant thioether coordination at 198 K or below whereas the latter is four-coordinate at 198 K and becomes a mixture of the four- and five-coordinate species at liquid nitrogen temperature. Upon oxygenation at low temperatures, both complexes form dioxygen adducts in which the pendant thioether groups are coordinated to the trans position to dioxygen. Resonance Raman spectra show that Co(sal-ipsen) yields an equilibrium mixture of the 1:1 and 1:2(O2/ Co) adducts at 190 K while Co(sal-bsen) forms only the 1:1 adduct under similar conditions. These differences between Co(sal-ipsen) and Co(sal-bsen) can be attributed to the variance in basicity of their pendant sulfur atoms. 相似文献

The study of Ni–Fe–Se hydrogenases is interesting from the basic research point of view because their active site is a clear
example of how nature regulates the catalytic function of an enzyme by the change of a single residue, in this case a cysteine,
which is replaced by a selenocysteine. Most hydrogenases are inhibited by CO and O2. In this work we studied these inhibition processes for the Ni–Fe–Se hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough by combining catalytic activity measurements, followed by mass spectrometry or chronoamperometry, with Fourier
transform IR spectroscopy experiments. The results show that the CO inhibitor binds to Ni in both conformations of the active
site of this hydrogenase in a way similar to that in standard Ni–Fe hydrogenases, although in one of the CO-inhibited conformations
the active site of the Ni–Fe–Se hydrogenase is more protected against the attack by O2. The inhibition of the Ni–Fe–Se hydrogenase activity by O2 could be explained by oxidation of the terminal cysteine ligand of the active-site Ni, instead of the direct attack of O2 on the bridging site between Ni and Fe. 相似文献

Protein thiol/sulfenic acid oxidation potentials provide a tool to select specific oxidation agents, but are experimentally difficult to obtain. Here, insights into the thiol sulfenylation thermodynamics are obtained from model calculations on small systems and from a quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) analysis on human 2-Cys peroxiredoxin thioredoxin peroxidase B (Tpx-B). To study thiol sulfenylation in Tpx-B, our recently developed computational method to determine reduction potentials relatively compared to a reference system and based on reaction energies reduction potential from electronic energies is updated. Tpx-B forms a sulfenic acid (R-SO?) on one of its active site cysteines during reactive oxygen scavenging. The observed effect of the conserved active site residues is consistent with the observed hydrogen bond interactions in the QM/MM optimized Tpx-B structures and with free energy calculations on small model systems. The ligand effect could be linked to the complexation energies of ligand L with CH3S? and CH3SO?. Compared to QM only calculations on Tpx-B’s active site, the QM/MM calculations give an improved understanding of sulfenylation thermodynamics by showing that other residues from the protein environment other than the active site residues can play an important role. 相似文献

of a multidisciplinary synthetic modeling approach for discovering new and unusual chemistry helpful for understanding the
properties of the active sites of copper proteins or assessing the feasibility of mechanistic pathways they might follow during
catalysis. The discussion focuses on the progress made to date toward comprehending the nitrite reductase catalytic site and
mechanism, the electronic structures of copper thiolate electron transfer centers, the sulfido-bridged “CuZ” site in nitrous oxide reductase, and the processes of dioxygen binding and activation by mono- and dicopper centers in oxidases

The mononuclear [Mn(6′Me2indH)(H2O)2(CH3CN)](ClO4)2 (6′Me2indH: 1,3-bis(6′-methyl-2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline) complex has been prepared and characterized by various techniques such as elemental analysis, IR, UV-visible and ESR spectroscopy. The title compound was suitable as catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBCH2) to 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone (3,5-DTBQ) (catecholase activity), and o-aminophenol (OAPH) to 2-aminophenoxazine-3-one (APX) (phenoxazinone synthase activity) with dioxygen at ambient condition in good yields. Kinetic measurements revealed first-order dependence on the catalyst and dioxygen concentration and saturation type behavior with respect to the corresponding substrate. It was also found that the added triethylamine in both systems accelerates the reaction. 相似文献
