The mode of binding of aromatic ligands in the substrate binding site on the distal heme side in heme peroxidases is well
understood. However, the mode of diffusion through the extended hydrophobic channel and the regulatory role of the channel
are not yet clear. To provide answers to these questions, the crystal structure of the complex of lactoperoxidase and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole
(amitrole) has been determined, which revealed the presence of two ligand molecules, one in the substrate binding site and
the second in the hydrophobic channel. The binding of ligand in the channel induced a remarkable conformational change in
the side chain of Phe254, which flips from its original distant position to interact with the trapped ligand in the hydrophobic
channel. As a result, the channel is completely blocked so that no ligand can diffuse through it to the substrate binding
site. Another amitrole molecule is bound to lactoperoxidase in the substrate binding site by replacing three water molecules,
including the crucial iron-bound water molecule, W1. In this arrangement, the amino nitrogen atom of amitrole occupies the
position of W1 and interacts directly with ferric iron. As a consequence, it prevents the binding of H2O2 to heme iron. Thus, the interactions of amitrole with lactoperoxidase obstruct both the passage of ligands through the hydrophobic
channel as well as the binding of H2O2. This explains the amitrole toxicity. From binding studies, the dissociation constant (K
d) for amitrole with lactoperoxidase was found to be approximately 5.5 × 10−7 M, indicating high affinity. 相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO), a mammalian secretory heme peroxidase, catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide to produce hypothiocyanate, an antibacterial agent. Although LPO is known to be activated at acidic pH and in the presence of iodide, the structural basis of the activation is not well understood. We have examined the effects of pH and iodide concentration on the catalytic activity and the structure of LPO. Electrochemical and colorimetric assays have shown that the catalytic activity is maximized at pH 4.5. The heme Soret absorption band exhibits a small red‐shift at pH 5.0 upon acidification, which is ascribable to a structural transition from a neutral to an acidic form. Resonance Raman spectra suggest that the heme porphyrin core is slightly contracted and the Fe‐His bond is strengthened in the acidic form compared to the neutral form. The structural change of LPO upon activation at acidic pH is similar to that observed for myeloperoxidase, another mammalian heme peroxidase, upon activation at neutral pH. Binding of iodide enhances the catalytic activity of LPO without affecting either the optimum pH of activity or the heme structure, implying that the iodide binding occurs at a protein site away from the heme‐linked protonation site. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Heme‐containing catalases and catalase‐peroxidases catalyze the dismutation of hydrogen peroxide as their predominant catalytic activity, but in addition, individual enzymes support low levels of peroxidase and oxidase activities, produce superoxide, and activate isoniazid as an antitubercular drug. The recent report of a heme enzyme with catalase, peroxidase and penicillin oxidase activities in Bacillus pumilus and its categorization as an unusual catalase‐peroxidase led us to investigate the enzyme for comparison with other catalase‐peroxidases, catalases, and peroxidases. Characterization revealed a typical homotetrameric catalase with one pentacoordinated heme b per subunit (Tyr340 being the axial ligand), albeit in two orientations, and a very fast catalatic turnover rate (kcat = 339,000 s?1). In addition, the enzyme supported a much slower (kcat = 20 s?1) peroxidatic activity utilizing substrates as diverse as ABTS and polyphenols, but no oxidase activity. Two binding sites, one in the main access channel and the other on the protein surface, accommodating pyrogallol, catechol, resorcinol, guaiacol, hydroquinone, and 2‐chlorophenol were identified in crystal structures at 1.65–1.95 Å. A third site, in the heme distal side, accommodating only pyrogallol and catechol, interacting with the heme iron and the catalytic His and Arg residues, was also identified. This site was confirmed in solution by EPR spectroscopy characterization, which also showed that the phenolic oxygen was not directly coordinated to the heme iron (no low‐spin conversion of the FeIII high‐spin EPR signal upon substrate binding). This is the first demonstration of phenolic substrates directly accessing the heme distal side of a catalase. Proteins 2015; 83:853–866. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The crystal structure of the complex of lactoperoxidase (LPO) with its
physiological substrate thiocyanate (SCN–) has been
determined at 2.4Å resolution. It revealed that the
SCN– ion is bound to LPO in the distal heme cavity. The
observed orientation of the SCN– ion shows that the sulfur
atom is closer to the heme iron than the nitrogen atom. The nitrogen atom of
SCN– forms a hydrogen bond with a water (Wat) molecule at
position 6′. This water molecule is stabilized by two hydrogen bonds
with Gln423 Nε2 and Phe422 oxygen. In
contrast, the placement of the SCN– ion in the structure of
myeloperoxidase (MPO) occurs with an opposite orientation, in which the
nitrogen atom is closer to the heme iron than the sulfur atom. The site
corresponding to the positions of Gln423, Phe422 oxygen,
and Wat6′ in LPO is occupied primarily by the side chain of
Phe407 in MPO due to an entirely different conformation of the loop
corresponding to the segment Arg418–Phe431 of LPO.
This arrangement in MPO does not favor a similar orientation of the
SCN– ion. The orientation of the catalytic product
OSCN– as reported in the structure of
LPO·OSCN– is similar to the orientation of
SCN– in the structure of LPO·SCN–.
Similarly, in the structure of
LPO·SCN–·CN–, in which
CN– binds at Wat1, the position and orientation of
the SCN– ion are also identical to that observed in the
structure of LPO·SCN.Lactoperoxidase
(LPO4; EC 1.11.1.7) is
a Fe3+ heme enzyme that belongs to the mammalian peroxidase family
(1). The family of mammalian
peroxidases comprises lactoperoxidase
(2), eosinophil peroxidase
(3), thyroid peroxidase
(4), and myeloperoxidase (MPO)
(5). LPO, eosinophil
peroxidase, and MPO are responsible for antimicrobial function and innate
immune responses
(6–8),
whereas thyroid peroxidase plays a key role in thyroid hormone biosynthesis
(9). These peroxidases are
different from plant and fungal peroxidases because unlike plant and fungal
enzymes, the prosthetic heme group in mammalian peroxidases is covalently
linked to the protein (10).
There are also several striking structural and functional differences among
the mammalian peroxidases
(11). The heme group in MPO is
attached to the protein via three covalent linkages
(12), whereas LPO
(12,
13), eosinophil peroxidase
(12), and thyroid peroxidase
(12) contain only two ester
linkages. These covalent and various non-covalent linkages contribute
differentially to the high stability of the heme core as well as for the
peculiar values of their redox potentials
(2,
14). Furthermore, MPO consists
of two disulfide-linked protein chains, whereas LPO, eosinophil peroxidase,
and thyroid peroxidase are single chain proteins, although their chain lengths
differ greatly. In addition, their sequences contain several critical amino
acid differences that may also contribute to the variations in the
stereochemical environments of the substrate-binding sites. As a consequence
of these differences, the mammalian enzymes oxidize various inorganic ions
such as SCN–, Br–, Cl–, and
I– with differing specificities and potencies. Biochemical
studies have shown that LPO catalyzes preferentially the conversion of
SCN– to OSCN–
(15,
16), whereas MPO uses halides
(17,
18) with a preference for
chloride ion as the substrate. The preferences of eosinophil peroxidase and
thyroid peroxidase are bromide and iodide, respectively. However, the
stereochemical basis of the reported preferences for the substrates by
mammalian heme peroxidases is still unclear. So far, the structures of only
two mammalian enzymes, MPO and LPO, have been determined
(12,
13). It is of considerable
importance to identify the structural parameters that are responsible for the
subtle specificities. In the present work, we have attempted to address this
question through the new crystal structures of LPO complexes with
SCN– ions using goat, bovine, and buffalo lactoperoxidases.
Because the overall structures of complexes of SCN– with LPO
from all three species were found to be identical, the structure of the
complex of buffalo LPO with SCN– and the ternary complex with
SCN– and CN– will be discussed here, and
buffalo LPO will be termed hereafter as LPO. To highlight the factors
pertaining to binding specificity of SCN–, a comparison of
the structures of LPO·SCN– and
MPO·SCN– has also been made, revealing many valuable
differences pertaining to the observed orientations of the common substrate,
SCN– ion, when bound at the substrate-binding site in the
distal heme cavity of the two structures. The structures of
LPO·SCN– and MPO·SCN– clearly
show that the bound SCN– ions are present in the distal heme
cavity of two enzymes with opposite orientations. In the structure of
LPO·SCN–, the sulfur atom is closer to the heme iron
than the nitrogen atom, whereas in that of MPO·SCN–,
the nitrogen atom is closer to the heme iron than the sulfur atom. As a result
of this, the interactions of the SCN– ion in the distal site
of two proteins differ drastically. Gln423, a conserved water (Wat)
molecule at position 6′, and a well aligned carbonyl oxygen of
Phe422 in the proximity of the substrate-binding site in LPO
against a protruding Phe407 in MPO seem to play the key roles in
inducing the observed orientations of SCN– ions in LPO and
MPO. The structure of LPO·SCN– has also been compared
with the structure of its ternary complex with SCN– and
CN– ions. 相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is a member of a large group of mammalian heme peroxidases that include myeloperoxidase (MPO), eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO). The LPO is found in exocrine secretions including milk. It is responsible for the inactivation of a wide range of micro-organisms and hence, is an important component of defense mechanism in the body. With the help of hydrogen peroxide, it catalyzes the oxidation of halides, pseudohalides and organic aromatic molecules. Historically, LPO was isolated in 1943, nearly seventy years ago but its three-dimensional crystal structure has been elucidated only recently. This review provides various details of this protein from its discovery to understanding its structure, function and applications. In order to highlight species dependent variations in the structure and function of LPO, a detailed comparison of sequence, structure and function of LPO from various species have been made. The structural basis of ligand binding and distinctions in the modes of binding of substrates and inhibitors have been analyzed extensively. 相似文献

The interaction of aromatic donor molecules with lactoperoxidase (LPO) was studied using 1H-NMR and optical difference spectroscopy techniques. pH dependence of substrate proton resonance line-widths indicated that the binding was facilitated by protonation of an amino acid residue (with pKa of 6.1) which is presumably a distal histidine. Dissociation constants evaluated from both optical difference spectroscopy and 1H-NMR relaxation measurements were found to be an order of magnitude larger than those for binding to horse radish peroxidase (HRP), indicating relatively weak binding of the donors to LPO. The dissociation constants evaluated in presence of excess of I- and SCN- showed a considerable increase in their values, indicating that the iodide and thiocyanate ions compete for binding at the same site. The dissociation constant of the substrate binding was, however, not affected by cyanide binding to the ferric centre of LPO. All these results indicate that the organic substrates bind to LPO away from the ferric center. Comparison of the dissociation constants between the different substrates suggested that hydrogen bonding of the donors with the distal histidine amino acid, and hydrophobic interaction between the donors and the active site contribute significantly towards the associating forces. Free energy, entropy and enthalpy changes associated with the LPO-substrate equilibrium have been evaluated. These thermodynamic parameters were found to be all negative and relatively low compared to those for binding to HRP. The distances of the substrate protons from the ferric center were found to be in the range 9.4-11.1 A which are 2-3 A larger than those reported for the HRP-substrate complexes. These structural informations suggest that the heme in LPO may be more deeply buried in the heme crevice than that in the HRP. 相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is a member of the family of mammalian heme peroxidases. It catalyzes the oxidation of halides and pseudohalides in presence of hydrogen peroxide. LPO has been co-crystallized with inorganic substrates, SCN-, I-, Br- and Cl-. The structure determination of the complex of LPO with above four substrates showed that all of them occupied distinct positions in the substrate binding site on the distal heme side. The bound substrate ions were separated from each other by one or more water molecules. The heme iron is coordinated to His-351 Nϵ2 on the proximal side while it is coordinated to conserved water molecule W-1 on the distal heme side. W-1 is hydrogen bonded to Br- ion which is followed by Cl- ion with a hydrogen bonded water molecule W-5′ between them. Next to Cl- ion is a hydrogen bonded water molecule W-7′ which in turn is hydrogen bonded to W-8′ and N atom of SCN-. W-80 is hydrogen bonded to W-9′ which is hydrogen bonded to I-. SCN- ion also interacts directly with Asn-230 and through water molecules with Ser-235 and Phe-254. Therefore, according to the locations of four substrate anions, the order of preference for binding to lactoperoxidase is observed as Br- > Cl- > SCN- > I-. The positions of anions are further defined in terms of subsites where Br- is located in subsite 1, Cl- in subsite 2, SCN- in subsite 3 and I- in subsite 4. 相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is a member of the mammalian peroxidase superfamily. It catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate and halides. Freshly isolated and purified samples of caprine LPO were saturated with ammonium iodide and crystallized using 20% polyethylene glycol 3350 in a hanging drop vapor diffusion setup. The structure has been determined using X-ray crystallographic method and refined to Rcryst and Rfree factors of 0.196 and 0.203, respectively. The structure determination revealed an unexpected phosphorylation of Ser198 in LPO, which is also confirmed by anti-phosphoserine antibody binding studies. The structure is also notable for observing densities for glycan chains at all the four potential glycosylation sites. Caprine LPO consists of a single polypeptide chain of 595 amino acid residues and folds into an oval-shaped structure. The structure contains 20 well-defined α-helices of varying lengths including a helix, H2a, unique to LPO, and two short antiparallel β-strands. The structure confirms that the heme group is covalently linked to the protein through two ester linkages involving carboxylic groups of Glu258 and Asp108 and modified methyl groups of pyrrole rings A and C, respectively. The heme moiety is slightly distorted from planarity, but pyrrole ring B is distorted considerably. However, an iron atom is displaced only by 0.1 Å from the plane of the heme group toward the proximal site. The substrate diffusing channel in LPO is cylindrical in shape with a diameter of approximately 6 Å. Two histidine residues and six buried water molecules are connected through a hydrogen-bonded chain from the distal heme cavity to the surface of protein molecule and seemingly form the basis of proton relay for catalytic action. Ten iodide ions have been observed in the structure. Out of these, only one iodide ion is located in the distal heme cavity and is hydrogen bonded to the water molecule W1. W1 is also hydrogen bonded to the heme iron as well as to distal His109. The structure contains a calcium ion that is coordinated to seven oxygen atoms and forms a typical pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry. 相似文献

The 2.6-A crystal structure of Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P-450 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

The crystal structure of Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P-450cam in the ferric, camphor bound form has been determined and partially refined to R = 0.23 at 2.6 A. The single 414 amino acid polypeptide chain (Mr = 45,000) approximates a triangular prism with a maximum dimension of approximately 60 A and a minimum of approximately 30 A. Twelve helical segments (A through L) account for approximately 40% of the structure while antiparallel beta pairs account for only approximately 10%. The unexposed iron protoporphyrin IX is sandwiched between two parallel helices designated the proximal and distal helices. The heme iron atom is pentacoordinate with the axial sulfur ligand provided by Cys 357 which extends from the N-terminal end of the proximal (L) helix. A substrate molecule, 2-bornanone (camphor), is buried in an internal pocket just above the heme distal surface adjacent to the oxygen binding site. The substrate molecule is held in place by a hydrogen bond between the side chain hydroxyl group of Tyr 96 and the camphor carbonyl oxygen atom in addition to complementary hydrophobic contacts between the camphor molecule and neighboring aliphatic and aromatic residues. The camphor is oriented such that the exo-surface of C5 would contact an iron bound, "activated" oxygen atom for stereoselective hydroxylation. 相似文献

α‐Dioxygenases (α‐DOX) are heme‐containing enzymes found predominantly in plants and fungi, where they generate oxylipins in response to pathogen attack. α‐DOX oxygenate a variety of 14–20 carbon fatty acids containing up to three unsaturated bonds through stereoselective removal of the pro‐R hydrogen from the α‐carbon by a tyrosyl radical generated via the oxidation of the heme moiety by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We determined the X‐ray crystal structures of wild type α‐DOX from Oryza sativa, the wild type enzyme in complex with H2O2, and the catalytically inactive Y379F mutant in complex with the fatty acid palmitic acid (PA). PA binds within the active site cleft of α‐DOX such that the carboxylate forms ionic interactions with His‐311 and Arg‐559. Thr‐316 aids in the positioning of carbon‐2 for hydrogen abstraction. Twenty‐five of the twenty eight contacts made between PA and residues lining the active site occur within the carboxylate and first eight carbons, indicating that interactions within this region of the substrate are responsible for governing selectivity. Comparison of the wild type and H2O2 structures provides insight into enzyme activation. The binding of H2O2 at the distal face of the heme displaces residues His‐157, Asp‐158, and Trp‐159 ~2.5 Å from their positions in the wild type structure. As a result, the Oδ2 atom of Asp‐158 interacts with the Ca atom in the calcium binding loop, the side chains of Trp‐159 and Trp‐213 reorient, and the guanidinium group of Arg‐559 is repositioned near Tyr‐379, poised to interact with the carboxylate group of the substrate. 相似文献

Summary Depositing ofdl-1-amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylphosphonic acid (Tyr-P) on the chicken embryo induced a dose dependent decrease of the iodine uptake by the embryonic thyroid. Tyr-P interfered on iodination of tyrosine when tested with hog thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and with bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO); the analogue was recognized by the two enzymes but its affinity for TPO and LPO was respectively 3 and 7 fold higher compared with that of the natural substrate, suggesting that Tyr-P may act as an iodine trap. 相似文献

The three-dimensional structure of the enzyme myeloperoxidase has been determined by X-ray crystallography to 3 A resolution. Two heavy atom derivatives were used to phase an initial multiple isomorphous replacement map that was subsequently improved by solvent flattening and non-crystallographic symmetry averaging. Crystallographic refinement gave a final model with an R-factor of 0.257. The root-mean-square deviations from ideality for bond lengths and angles were 0.011 A and 3.8 degrees. Two, apparently identical, halves of the molecule are related by local dyad and covalently linked by a single disulfide bridge. Each half-molecule consists of two polypeptide chains of 108 and 466 amino acid residues, a heme prosthetic group, a bound calcium ion and at least three sites of asparagine-linked glycosylation. There are six additional intra-chain disulfide bonds, five in the large polypeptide and one in the small. A central core region that includes the heme binding site is composed of five alpha-helices. Regions of the larger polypeptide surrounding this core are organized into locally folded domains in which the secondary structure is predominantly alpha-helical with very little organized beta-sheet. A proximal ligand to the heme iron atom has been identified as histidine 336, which is in turn hydrogen-bonded to asparagine 421. On the distal side of the heme, histidine 95 and arginine 239 are likely to participate directly in the catalytic mechanism, in a manner analogous to the distal histidine and arginine of the non-homologous enzyme cytochrome c peroxidase. The site of the covalent linkage to the heme has been tentatively identified as glutamate 242, although the chemical nature of the link remains uncertain. The calcium binding site has been located in a loop comprising residues 168 to 174 together with aspartate 96. Myeloperoxidase is a member of a family of homologous mammalian peroxidases that includes thyroid peroxidase, eosinophil peroxidase and lactoperoxidase. The heme environment, defined by our model for myeloperoxidase, appears to be highly conserved in these four mammalian peroxidases. Furthermore, the conservation of all 12 cysteine residues involved in the six intra-chain disulfide bonds and the calcium binding loop suggests that the three-dimensional structures of members of this gene family are likely to be quite similar. 相似文献

Distinct heme-substrate interactions of lactoperoxidase probed by resonance Raman spectroscopy: difference between animal and plant peroxidases 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Resonance Raman scattering from cow milk lactoperoxidase (LPO) and its complexes with various electron donors and inhibitors was investigated. The Raman spectrum of LPO is strikingly close to that of hog intestinal peroxidase but distinctly dissimilar to that of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The v10 frequency suggested the six-coordinate high-spin structure of heme for native LPO in contrast with the five-coordinate high-spin structure for HRP. For the v10 band, benzohydroxamic acid caused a frequency shift with HRP but not with LPO. Guaiacol, o-toluidine, and histidine brought about a frequency shift of the v4 mode for LPO but not for HRP. The frequency shift was restored upon removal of the substrate or inhibitor by dialysis. The down shift of the v4 frequency is considered to represent an appreciable donation of electrons from the substrate or inhibitor to the porphyrin LUMO and thus their direct interaction with the heme group. From the relative intensity of the shifted and unshifted v4 lines, the dissociation constant was determined to be Kd = 52 mM for guaiacol and Kd = 87 mM for histidine at pH 7.4. The binding of histidine was relatively retarded in the presence of sulfate anion (Kd = 150 mM for 0.53 M sulfate present), and imidazole alone yielded no frequency shift, indicating the binding of the carboxyl group of histidine to the protein cationic site on one hand and a weak charge-transfer interaction between the imidazole group and the heme group on the other. 相似文献

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a 933 amino acid residue, heme-containing, integral membrane glycoprotein that catalyzes two steps in the maturation of the thyroid hormone precursor. As with other peroxidases, these reactions require hydrogen peroxide and initial enzyme oxidation. Previous researchers studied the oxidative state of the TPO heme moiety using spectrophotometric and catalytic analyses. We use a novel antiserum to 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) to detect radical-derived DMPO spin-trapped TPO. Our work reveals that TPO generates radical adducts in the presence of H2O2, but that the generation of these adducts can be suppressed by the addition of substrates and inhibitors. Chemical alteration of the tyrosine residues of TPO greatly reduces the generation of TPO-DMPO adducts. Iodide strongly suppresses the H2O2-generated production of TPO radical adducts and protects the enzyme from loss of enzyme activity. Because the normal catalytic mechanism of TPO involves the production of radical species, TPO is potentially more susceptible to oxidative damage than most enzymes which do not require H2O2 as a substrate. We hypothesize that oxidatively damaged TPO may trigger the production of anti-TPO autoantibodies, resulting in the development of autoimmune thyroid disorders. Evidence that correlates iodine deficiencies with development of thyroid autoimmune disorders supports this conjecture. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase catalyzes the first step in the oxidative degradation of heme. The crystal structure of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) reported here reveals a novel helical fold with the heme sandwiched between two helices. The proximal helix provides a heme iron ligand, His 25. Conserved glycines in the distal helix near the oxygen binding site allow close contact between the helix backbone and heme in addition to providing flexibility for substrate binding and product release. Regioselective oxygenation of the alpha-meso heme carbon is due primarily to steric influence of the distal helix. 相似文献

The human heme oxygenase-1 crystal structure suggests that Gly-139 and Gly-143 interact directly with iron-bound ligands. We have mutated Gly-139 to an alanine, leucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine, or aspartate, and Gly-143 to a leucine, lysine, histidine, or aspartate. All of these mutants bind heme, but absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy indicate that the water coordinated to the iron atom is lost in several of the Gly-139 mutants, giving rise to mixtures of hexacoordinate and pentacoordinate ligation states. The active site perturbation is greatest when large amino acid side chains are introduced. Of the Gly-139 mutants investigated, only G139A catalyzes the NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase-dependent oxidation of heme to biliverdin, but most of them exhibit a new H(2)O(2)-dependent guaiacol peroxidation activity. The Gly-143 mutants, all of which have lost the water ligand, have no heme oxygenase or peroxidase activity. The results establish the importance of Gly-139 and Gly-143 in maintaining the appropriate environment for the heme oxygenase reaction and show that Gly-139 mutations disrupt this environment, probably by displacing the distal helix, converting heme oxygenase into a peroxidase. The principal role of the heme oxygenase active site may be to suppress the ferryl species formation responsible for peroxidase activity. 相似文献

Aldoxime dehydratase (Oxd) is a novel hemeprotein that catalyzes the dehydration reaction of aldoxime to produce nitrile. In this study, we studied the spectroscopic and substrate binding properties of two Oxds, OxdB from Bacillus sp. strain OxB-1 and OxdRE from Rhodococcus sp. N-771, that show different quaternary structures and relatively low amino acid sequence identity. Electronic absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy revealed that ferric OxdRE contained a six-coordinate low-spin heme, while ferric OxdB contained a six-coordinate high-spin heme. Both ferrous OxdRE and OxdB included a five-coordinate high-spin heme to which the substrate was bound via its nitrogen atom for the reaction to occur. Although the ferric Oxds were inactive for catalysis, the substrate was bound to the ferric heme via its oxygen atom in both OxdB and OxdRE. Electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and rapid scanning spectroscopy revealed that the flexibility of the heme pocket was different between OxdB and OxdRE, which might affect their substrate specificity. 相似文献

Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the annelid Amphitrite ornata is a catalytically active hemoglobin-peroxidase that possesses a unique internal binding cavity in the distal pocket above the heme. The previously published crystal structure of DHP shows 4-iodophenol bound internally. This led to the proposal that the internal binding site is the active site for phenol oxidation. However, the native substrate for DHP is 2,4,6-tribromophenol, and all attempts to bind 2,4,6-tribromophenol in the internal site under physiological conditions have failed. Herein, we show that the binding of 4-halophenols in the internal pocket inhibits enzymatic function. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DHP has a unique two-site competitive binding mechanism in which the internal and external binding sites communicate through two conformations of the distal histidine of the enzyme, resulting in nonclassical competitive inhibition. The same distal histidine conformations involved in DHP function regulate oxygen binding and release during transport and storage by hemoglobins and myoglobins. This work provides further support for the hypothesis that DHP possesses an external binding site for substrate oxidation, as is typical for the peroxidase family of enzymes. 相似文献

Glutathione transferase enzymes help plants to cope with biotic and abiotic stress. They mainly catalyze the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) onto xenobiotics, and some act as glutathione peroxidase. With X‐ray crystallography, kinetics, and thermodynamics, we studied the impact of oxidation on Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione transferase Phi 9 (GSTF9). GSTF9 has no cysteine in its sequence, and it adopts a universal GST structural fold characterized by a typical conserved GSH‐binding site (G‐site) and a hydrophobic co‐substrate‐binding site (H‐site). At elevated H2O2 concentrations, methionine sulfur oxidation decreases its transferase activity. This oxidation increases the flexibility of the H‐site loop, which is reflected in lower activities for hydrophobic substrates. Determination of the transition state thermodynamic parameters shows that upon oxidation an increased enthalpic penalty is counterbalanced by a more favorable entropic contribution. All in all, to guarantee functionality under oxidative stress conditions, GSTF9 employs a thermodynamic and structural compensatory mechanism and becomes substrate of methionine sulfoxide reductases, making it a redox‐regulated enzyme. 相似文献
