Trace metals are required for many cellular processes. The acquisition of trace elements from the environment includes a rapid adsorption of metals to the cell surface, followed by a slower internalization. We investigated the uptake of the trace elements Co(2+), Cu(2+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+) and the non-essential divalent cation Cd(2+) in the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme. For each metal, a dose response study based on cell viability showed that the highest non-toxic concentrations were: 0.5?μM Cd(2+), 2?μM Co(2+), 0.5?μM Cu(2+), 500?μM Mn(2+), 1?μM Ni(2+), and 18?μM Zn(2+). Cells exposed to these non-toxic concentrations with combinations of Zn(2+) and Cd(2+), Zn(2+) and Co(2+), Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) or Zn(2+) and Ni(2+), had reduced growth in comparison to controls. Cells exposed to metal combinations with the addition of 500?μM Mn(2+) showed similar growth compared to the untreated controls. Metal levels were measured after one and 72?h for whole cells and absorbed (EDTA-resistant) fractions and used to calculate differential uptake rates for each metal. The differences in binding and internalisation between different metals indicate different uptake processes exist for each metal. For each metal, competitive uptake experiments using (65)Zn showed that after 72?h of exposure Zn(2+) uptake was reduced by most metals particularly 0.5?μM Cd(2+), while 2?μM Co(2+) increased Zn(2+) uptake. This study demonstrates that N. punctiforme discriminates between different metals and favourably substitutes their uptake to avoid the toxic effects of particular metals. 相似文献

Epoxyalkane:coenzyme M transferase (EaCoMT) catalyzes the nucleophilic addition of coenzyme M (CoM, 2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid) to epoxypropane forming 2-hydroxypropyl-CoM. The biochemical properties of EaCoMT suggest that the enzyme belongs to the family of alkyltransferase enzymes for which Zn plays a role in activating an organic thiol substrate for nucleophilic attack on an alkyl-donating substrate. The enzyme has a hexameric (alpha(6)) structure with one zinc atom per subunit. In the present work M(2+) binding and the role of Zn(2+) in EaCoMT have been established through a combination of biochemical, calorimetric, and spectroscopic techniques. A variety of metal ions, including Zn(2+), Co(2+), Cd(2+), and Ni(2+), were capable of activating a Zn-deficient "apo" form of EaCoMT, affording enzymes with various levels of activity. Titration of Co(2+) into apo-EaCoMT resulted in UV-visible spectroscopic changes consistent with the formation of a tetrahedral Co(2+) binding site, with coordination of bound Co(2+) to two thiolate ligands. Quantification of UV-visible spectral changes upon Co(2+) titration into apo-EaCoMT demonstrated that EaCoMT binds Co(2+) cooperatively at six interacting sites. Isothermal titration calorimetric studies of Co(2+) and Zn(2+) binding to EaCoMT also showed cooperativity for metal ion binding among six sites. The addition of CoM to Co(2+)-substituted EaCoMT resulted in UV-visible spectral changes indicative of formation of a new thiol-Co(2+) bond. Co(2+)-substituted EaCoMT exhibited a unique Co(2+) EPR spectrum, and this spectrum was perturbed significantly upon addition of CoM. The presence of a divalent metal ion was required for the release of protons from CoM upon binding to EaCoMT, with Zn(2+), Co(2+), and Cd(2+) each facilitating proton release. The divalent metal ion of EaCoMT is proposed to play a key role in the coordination and deprotonation of CoM, possibly through formation of a metal-thiolate that is activated for attack on the epoxide substrate. 相似文献

The soluble (cytoplasmic plus periplasmic) Ni/Fe-S/Se-containing hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio baculatus (DSM 1743) was purified from cells grown in an 57Fe-enriched medium, and its iron-sulfur centers were extensively characterized by M?ssbauer and EPR spectroscopies. The data analysis excludes the presence of a [3Fe-4S] center, either in the native (as isolated) or in the hydrogen-reduced states. In the native state, the non-heme iron atoms are arranged as two diamagnetic [4Fe-4S]2+ centers. Upon reduction, these two centers exhibit distinct and unusual M?ssbauer spectroscopic parameters. The centers were found to have similar mid-point potentials (approximately -315 mV) as determined by oxidation-reduction titratins followed by EPR. 相似文献

An extracellular nuclease from Rhizopus stolonifer (designated as nuclease Rsn) was purified to homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose followed by Blue Sepharose. The M(r) of the purified enzyme determined by native PAGE was 67? omitted?000 and it is a tetramer and each protomer consists of two unidentical subunits of M(r) 21? omitted?000 and 13? omitted?000. It is an acidic protein with a pI of 4.2 and is not a glycoprotein. The purified enzyme showed an obligate requirement of divalent cations like Mg(2+), Mn(2+) and Co(2+) for its activity but is not a metalloprotein. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 7.0 and was not influenced by the type of metal ion used. Although, the optimum temperature of the enzyme for single stranded (ss) DNA hydrolysis in presence of all three metal ions and for double stranded (ds) DNA hydrolysis in presence of Mg(2+) was 40 degrees C, it showed higher optimum temperature (45 degrees C) for dsDNA hydrolysis in presence of Mn(2+) and Co(2+). Nuclease Rsn was inhibited by divalent cations like Zn(2+), Cu(2+) and Hg(2+), inorganic phosphate and pyrophosphate, low concentrations of SDS, guanidine hydrochloride and urea, organic solvents like dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethyl formamide and formamide but not by 3'- or 5'-mononucleotides. The studies on mode and mechanism of action showed that nuclease Rsn is an endonuclease and cleaves dsDNA through a single hit mechanism. The end products of both ssDNA and dsDNA hydrolysis were predominantly oligonucleotides ending in 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphoryl termini. Moreover, the type of metal ion used did not influence the mode and mechanism of action of the enzyme. 相似文献

MauG is a diheme enzyme possessing a five-coordinate high-spin heme with an axial His ligand and a six-coordinate low-spin heme with His-Tyr axial ligation. A Ca(2+) ion is linked to the two hemes via hydrogen bond networks, and the enzyme activity depends on its presence. Removal of Ca(2+) altered the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals of each ferric heme such that the intensity of the high-spin heme was decreased and the low-spin heme was significantly broadened. Addition of Ca(2+) back to the sample restored the original EPR signals and enzyme activity. The molecular basis for this Ca(2+)-dependent behavior was studied by magnetic resonance and M?ssbauer spectroscopy. The results show that in the Ca(2+)-depleted MauG the high-spin heme was converted to a low-spin heme and the original low-spin heme exhibited a change in the relative orientations of its two axial ligands. The properties of these two hemes are each different than those of the heme in native MauG and are now similar to each other. The EPR spectrum of Ca(2+)-free MauG appears to describe one set of low-spin ferric heme signals with a large g(max) and g anisotropy and a greatly altered spin relaxation property. Both EPR and M?ssbauer spectroscopic results show that the two hemes are present as unusual highly rhombic low-spin hemes in Ca(2+)-depleted MauG, with a smaller orientation angle between the two axial ligand planes. These findings provide insight into the correlation of enzyme activity with the orientation of axial heme ligands and describe a role for the calcium ion in maintaining this structural orientation that is required for activity. 相似文献

Eukaryotic Isa1 is one of several mitochondrial proteins that have been implicated in Fe-S cluster assembly paths in vivo. We report the first biochemical characterization of an eukaryotic member of this family and discuss this in the context of results from in vivo studies and studies of bacterial homologues. Schizosaccharomyces pombe Isa1 is a multimeric protein carrying [2Fe-2S](2+) clusters that have been characterized by M?ssbauer and optical spectroscopic studies. Complex formation with a redox-active ferredoxin has been identified through crosslinking experiments and the coordination chemistry and stability of the native clusters has been investigated through site-directed mutagenesis and spectroscopic analysis. Electronic supplementary material to this paper, containing M?ssbauer and UV-visible spectra for mutant Isa1 proteins, can be obtained by using the Springer Link server located at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00775-001-0330-2. 相似文献

Trace metal ions such as Zn(2+), Fe(2+), Cu(2+), Mn(2+), and Co(2+) are required cofactors for many essential cellular enzymes, yet little is known about the mechanisms through which they enter into cells. We have shown previously that the widely expressed ion channel TRPM7 (LTRPC7, ChaK1, TRP-PLIK) functions as a Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-permeable cation channel, whose activity is regulated by intracellular Mg(2+) and Mg(2+).ATP and have designated native TRPM7-mediated currents as magnesium-nucleotide-regulated metal ion currents (MagNuM). Here we report that heterologously overexpressed TRPM7 in HEK-293 cells conducts a range of essential and toxic divalent metal ions with strong preference for Zn(2+) and Ni(2+), which both permeate TRPM7 up to four times better than Ca(2+). Similarly, native MagNuM currents are also able to support Zn(2+) entry. Furthermore, TRPM7 allows other essential metals such as Mn(2+) and Co(2+) to permeate, and permits significant entry of nonphysiologic or toxic metals such as Cd(2+), Ba(2+), and Sr(2+). Equimolar replacement studies substituting 10 mM Ca(2+) with the respective divalent ions reveal a unique permeation profile for TRPM7 with a permeability sequence of Zn(2+) approximately Ni(2+) > Ba(2+) > Co(2+) > Mg(2+) >/= Mn(2+) >/= Sr(2+) >/= Cd(2+) >/= Ca(2+), while trivalent ions such as La(3+) and Gd(3+) are not measurably permeable. With the exception of Mg(2+), which exerts strong negative feedback from the intracellular side of the pore, this sequence is faithfully maintained when isotonic solutions of these divalent cations are used. Fura-2 quenching experiments with Mn(2+), Co(2+), or Ni(2+) suggest that these can be transported by TRPM7 in the presence of physiological levels of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+), suggesting that TRPM7 represents a novel ion-channel mechanism for cellular metal ion entry into vertebrate cells. 相似文献

The initial characterization of the iron environment in lipoxygenase by M?ssbauer spectroscopy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The incorporation of 57Fe into two lipoxygenase isoenzymes from soybeans has been achieved making possible the first observations of the iron environment in these proteins using M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Immature soybean seeds were grown in tissue culture medium supplied with 57Fe. The iron in the active lipoxygenases that were isolated from the cultured seeds was readily detected in M?ssbauer measurements. It was unequivocally demonstrated that the native enzyme contains high-spin Fe(II). Based on the sign of the electric field gradient, the most likely ligand sphere for the iron in native lipoxygenase consists of oxygen and nitrogen ligands in a roughly octahedral field of symmetry. It was possible to detect M?ssbauer signals in highly concentrated samples of native lipoxygenases containing 57Fe at natural abundance. The spectra obtained for enriched and natural abundance native enzyme had the same high-spin Fe(II) M?ssbauer parameters. This confirmed that the environment of the iron in enzymes isolated from cultured seeds and dry soybeans were the same. The M?ssbauer spectra (4.2-250 K) for samples of both isoenzymes after oxidation of the iron in native enzyme by the product of lipoxygenase catalysis were extremely broad (20 mm/s) with no obvious narrow resonance lines. This was the result of the existence of paramagnetically broadened spectra for such samples even at relatively high temperature as evidenced by the appropriate EPR signal. A small molecule containing an iron site sharing many of these M?ssbauer and electron paramagnetic resonance properties with lipoxygenase was identified: Fe(II)/(III).diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. 相似文献

Biotin synthase, the enzyme that catalyzes the last step of the biosynthesis of biotin, contains only [2Fe-2S](2+) clusters when isolated under aerobic conditions. Previous results showed that reconstitution with an excess of FeCl(3) and Na(2)S under reducing and anaerobic conditions leads to either [4Fe-4S](2+), [4Fe-4S](+), or a mixture of [4Fe-4S](2+) and [2Fe-2S](2+) clusters. To determine whether any of these possibilities or other different cluster configuration could correspond to the physiological in vivo state, we have used (57)Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy to investigate the clusters of biotin synthase in whole cells. The results show that, in aerobically grown cells, biotin synthase contains a mixture of [4Fe-4S](2+) and [2Fe-2S](2+) clusters. A mixed [4Fe-4S](2+):[2Fe-2S](2+) cluster form has already been observed under certain in vitro conditions, and it has been proposed that both clusters might each play a significant role in the mechanism of biotin synthase. Their presence in vivo is now another argument in favor of this mixed cluster form. 相似文献

The bis(terpyridine)cobalt(II), Co(terpy)2(2+), reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase compound I, CcP-I, has been investigated using stopped-flow techniques as a function of ionic strength in pH 7.5 buffers at 25 degrees C. Co(terpy)2(2+) initially reduces the Trp191 radical site in CcP-I with an apparent second-order rate constant, k2, equal to 6.0+/-0.4x10(6) M(-1)s(-1) at 0.01 M ionic strength. A pseudo-first-order rate constant of 480 s(-1) was observed for the reduction of CcP-I by 79 microM Co(terpy)2(2+) at 0.01 M ionic strength. The one-electron reduction of CcP-I produces a second enzyme intermediate, CcP compound II (CcP-II), which contains an oxyferryl, Fe(IV), heme. Reduction of the Fe(IV) heme in CcP-II by Co(terpy)2(2+) shows saturation kinetics with a maximum observed rate constant, k3max, of 24+/-2 s(-1) at 0.01 M ionic strength. At low reductant concentrations, the apparent second-order rate constant for Co(terpy)2(2+) reduction of CcP-II, k3, is 1.2+/-0.5x10(6) M(-1) s-1. All three rate constants decrease with increasing ionic strength. At 0.10 M ionic strength, values of k2, k3, and k3max decrease to 6.0+/-0.8x10(5) M(-1) s(-1), 1.2+/-0.5x10(5) M(-1) s(-1), and 11+/-3 s(-1), respectively. Both the product, Co(terpy)2(3+), and ferricytochrome c inhibit the rate of Co(terpy)2(2+) reduction of CcP-I and CcP-II. Gel-filtration studies show that a minimum of two Co(terpy)2(3+) molecules bind to the native enzyme in low ionic strength buffers. 相似文献

Data on Glutamine synthetase (GS) of Azospirillum brasilense, a rhizobacterium stimulating plant growth, have been reviewed. GS of the azospirillum is a type alpha12 dodecamer with oligomer and monomer having molecular weights of 630 and 52 kDa, respectively. Glutamine synthesis is performed in 12 active sites of the enzyme, depending, first and foremost, on the extent of GS adenylation and, secondarily, on the exact bivalent metal cations involved in the catalysis. Structural characteristics and catalytic properties of the completely unadenylated and moderately adenylated forms of GS of A. brasilense have been studied. The enzyme appears as a highly structured protein, with alpha helices and beta structures accounting for about 70% of the polypeptide chain length. Binding of Mg2+, Co2+, and Mn2+ to the protein globule changes both the secondary structure and the catalytic properties of the enzyme. The uses of nuclear gamma resonance emission spectroscopy demonstrates that the active center of GS of the azospirillum has two metal-binding sites differing in their affinity for Co2+. The activity and biosynthesis of GS of the azospirillum is regulated by wheat lectin (a molecular signal of the host plant), in addition to other means of regulation described for GSs. 相似文献

To obtain site-specific information about individual EF-hand motifs, the EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding loops from site III and site IV of calmodulin (CaM) were inserted separately into a non-Ca(2+)-binding cell adhesion protein, domain 1 of CD2 (denoted as CaM-CD2-III-5G-52 and CaM-CD2-IV-5G-52). Structural analyses using various spectroscopic methods have shown that the host protein CD2 retains its native structure after the insertion of the 12-residue loops. The Tb(3+) fluorescence enhancement upon formation of a Tb(3+)-protein complex and the direct competition by La(3+) and Ca(2+) suggest that native Ca(2+)-binding pockets are formed in both engineered proteins. Moreover, as revealed by NMR, both Ca(2+) and La(3+) specifically interact with the residues at the grafted EF-loop. The CaM-CD2-III-5G-52 has stronger affinities to Ca(2+), Tb(3+) and La(3+) than CaM-CD2-IV-5G-52, indicating differential intrinsic metal-binding affinities of the EF-loops. 相似文献

Physiologically relevant metal cofactor for methionine aminopeptidase-2 is manganese 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The identity of the physiological metal cofactor for human methionine aminopeptidase-2 (MetAP2) has not been established. To examine this question, we first investigated the effect of eight divalent metal ions, including Ca(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+), on recombinant human methionine aminopeptidase apoenzymes in releasing N-terminal methionine from three peptide substrates: MAS, MGAQFSKT, and (3)H-MASK(biotin)G. The activity of MetAP2 on either MAS or MGAQFSKT was enhanced 15-25-fold by Co(2+) or Mn(2+) metal ions in a broad concentration range (1-1000 microM). In the presence of reduced glutathione to mimic the cellular environment, Co(2+) and Mn(2+) were also the best stimulators (approximately 30-fold) for MetAP2 enzyme activity. To determine which metal ion is physiologically relevant, we then tested inhibition of intracellular MetAP2 with synthetic inhibitors selective for MetAP2 with different metal cofactors. A-310840 below 10 microM did not inhibit the activity of MetAP2-Mn(2+) but was very potent against MetAP2 with other metal ions including Co(2+), Fe(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+) in the in vitro enzyme assays. In contrast, A-311263 inhibited MetAP2 with Mn(2+), as well as Co(2+), Fe(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+). In cell culture assays, A-310840 did not inhibit intracellular MetAP2 enzyme activity and did not inhibit cell proliferation despite its ability to permeate and accumulate in cytosol, while A-311263 inhibited both intracellular MetAP2 and proliferation in a similar concentration range, indicating cellular MetAP2 is functioning as a manganese enzyme but not as a cobalt, zinc, iron, or nickel enzyme. We conclude that MetAP2 is a manganese enzyme and that therapeutic MetAP2 inhibitors should inhibit MetAP2-Mn(2+). 相似文献

The dxr gene encoding the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 was expressed in Escherichia coli to produce both the native and N-terminal histidine-tagged forms of DXR. The enzymes were purified from the cell extracts using either anion exchange chromatography or metal affinity chromatography and gel filtration. The purified recombinant native and histidine-tagged enzymes each displayed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels, corresponding to the calculated subunit molecular weights of 42,500 and 46,700, respectively. By native PAGE, both enzymes were dimers under reducing conditions. The kinetic properties for the enzymes were characterized and only minor variations were observed, demonstrating that the N-terminal histidine tag does not greatly affect the activity of the enzyme. Both enzymes had similar properties to previously characterized reductoisomerases from other sources. The K(m)'s for the metal ions Mn(2+), Mg(2+), and Co(2+) were determined for native DXR for the first time, with the K(m) for Mg(2+) being approximately 200-fold higher than the K(m)'s for Mn(2+) and Co(2+). 相似文献

Nine new metal complexes of the quinolone antibacterial agent N-propyl-norfloxacin, pr-norfloxacin, with VO(2+), Mn(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Zn(2+), MoO(2)(2+), Cd(2+) and UO(2)(2+) have been prepared and characterized with physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques while molecular mechanics calculations for Fe(3+), VO(2+) and MoO(2)(2+) complexes have been performed. In all complexes, pr-norfloxacin acts as a bidentate deprotonated ligand bound to the metal through the pyridone and one carboxylate oxygen atoms. All complexes are six-coordinate with slightly distorted octahedral geometry. For the complex VO(N-propyl-norfloxacinato)(2)(H(2)O) the axial position, trans to the vanadyl oxygen, is occupied by one pyridone oxygen atom. The investigation of the interaction of the complexes with calf-thymus DNA has been performed with diverse spectroscopic techniques and has shown that the complexes can be bound to calf-thymus DNA resulting to a B-->A DNA transition. The antimicrobial activity of the complexes has been tested on three different microorganisms. The complexes show equal or decreased biological activity in comparison to the free pr-norfloxacin except UO(2)(pr-norf)(2) which shows better inhibition against S. aureus. 相似文献

Studies on RNA motifs capable of binding metal ions have largely focused on Mg(2+)-specific motifs, therefore information concerning interactions of other metal ions with RNA is still very limited. Application of the in vitro selection approach allowed us to isolate two RNA aptamers that bind Co(2+) ions. Structural analysis of their secondary structures revealed the presence of two motifs, loop E and "kissing" loop complex, commonly occurring in RNA molecules. The Co(2+)-induced cleavage method was used for identification of Co(2+)-binding sites after the determination of the optimal cleavage conditions. In the aptamers, Co(2+) ions seem to bind to N7 atoms of purines, inducing cleavage of the adjacent phosphodiester bonds, similarly as is the case with yeast tRNA(Phe). Although the in vitro selection experiment was carried out in the presence of Co(2+) ions only, the aptamers displayed broader metal ions specificity. This was shown by inhibition of Co(2+)-induced cleavages in the presence of the following transition metal ions: Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Ni(2+), and Co(NH(3))(6)(3+) complex. On the other hand, alkaline metal ions such as Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Sr(2+), and Ba(2+) affected Co(2+)-induced cleavages only slightly. Multiple metal ions specificity of Co(2+)-binding sites has also been reported for other in vitro selected or natural RNAs. Among many factors that influence metal specificity of the Co(2+)-binding pocket, chemical properties of metal ions, such as their hardness as well as the structure of the coordination site, seem to be particularly important. 相似文献

A theoretical study of structures of the 1,7,1 l,17-tetraoxa-2,6,12,16-tetraaza-cycloeicosane ligand ([20]AneN(4)O(4)) coordinated to Fe(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Ru(2+), Rh(2+), and Pd(2+) transition metals ions was carried out with the DFT/B3LYP method. Complexes were fully optimized in C(s) symmetry with the metal ions coordinated either to nitrogen (1a) or oxygen atoms (1b). For all the cases performed in this work, 1a was always more stable than 1b. Considering each row it is possible to see that the binding energy increases with the atomic number. The M(2+) cation binding energies increase in the following order: Fe(2+)相似文献

Superoxide reductase (SOR) is an Fe protein that catalyzes the reduction of superoxide to give H(2)O(2). Recently, the mutation of the Glu47 residue into alanine (E47A) in the active site of SOR from Desulfoarculus baarsii has allowed the stabilization of an iron-peroxo species when quickly reacted with H(2)O(2) [Mathé et al. (2002) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124, 4966-4967]. To further investigate this non-heme peroxo-iron species, we have carried out a M?ssbauer study of the (57)Fe-enriched E47A SOR from D. baarsii reacted quickly with H(2)O(2). Considering the M?ssbauer data, we conclude, in conjunction with the other spectroscopic data available and with the results of density functional calculations on related models, that this species corresponds to a high-spin side-on peroxo-Fe(3+) complex. This is one of the first examples of such a species in a biological system for which M?ssbauer parameters are now available: delta(/Fe) = 0.54 (1) mm/s, DeltaE(Q) = -0.80 (5) mm/s, and the asymmetry parameter eta = 0.60 (5) mm/s. The M?ssbauer and spin Hamiltonian parameters have been evaluated on a model from the side-on peroxo complex (model 2) issued from the oxidized iron center in SOR from Pyrococcus furiosus, for which structural data are available in the literature [Yeh et al. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 2499-2508]. For comparison, similar calculations have been carried out on a model derived from 2 (model 3), where the [CH(3)-S](1)(-) group has been replaced by the neutral [NH(3)](0) group [Neese and Solomon (1998) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, 12829-12848]. Both models 2 and 3 contain a formally high-spin Fe(3+) ion (i.e., with empty minority spin orbitals). We found, however, a significant fraction ( approximately 0.6 for 2, approximately 0.8 for 3) of spin (equivalently charge) spread over two occupied (minority spin) orbitals. The quadrupole splitting value for 2 is found to be negative and matches quite well the experimental value. The computed quadrupole tensors are rhombic in the case of 2 and axial in the case of 3. This difference originates directly from the presence of the thiolate ligand in 2. A correlation between experimental isomer shifts for Fe(3+) mononuclear complexes with computed electron densities at the iron nucleus has been built and used to evaluate the isomer shift values for 2 and 3 (0.56 and 0.63 mm/s, respectively). A significant increase of isomer shift value is found upon going from a methylthiolate to a nitrogen ligand for the Fe(3+) ion, consistent with covalency effects due to the presence of the axial thiolate ligand. Considering that the isomer shift value for 3 is likely to be in the 0.61-0.65 mm/s range [Horner et al. (2002) Eur. J. Inorg. Chem., 3278-3283], the isomer shift value for a high-spin eta(2)-O(2) Fe(3+) complex with an axial thiolate group can be estimated to be in the 0.54-0.58 mm/s range. The occurrence of a side-on peroxo intermediate in SOR is discussed in relation to the recent data published for a side-on peroxo-Fe(3+) species in another biological system [Karlsson et al. (2003) Science 299, 1039-1042]. 相似文献

Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III) (EC 3.4.14.4), which has a HELLGH-E (residues 450-455, 508) motif as the zinc binding site, is classified as a zinc metallopeptidase. The zinc dissociation constants of the wild type, Leu(453)-deleted, and E508D mutant of DPP III at pH 7.4 were 4.5 (+/-0.7) x 10(-13), 5.8 (+/-0.7) x 10(-12), and 3.2 (+/-0.9) x 10(-10) M, respectively. The recoveries of the enzyme activities by the addition of various metal ions to apo-DPP III were also measured, and Co(2+), Ni(2+), and Cu(2+) ions completely recovered the enzyme activities as did Zn(2+). The dissociation constants of Co(2+), Ni(2+), and Cu(2+) ions for apo-DPP III at pH 7.4 were 8.2 (+/-0.9) x 10(-13), 2.7 (+/-0.3) x 10(-12), and 1.1 (+/-0.1) x 10(-14) M, respectively. The shape of the absorption spectrum of Co(2+)-DPP III was very similar to that of Co(2+)-carboxypeptidase A or Co(2+)-thermolysin, in which the Co(2+) is bound to two histidyl nitrogens, a water molecule, and a glutamate residue. The absorption spectrum of Cu(2+)-DPP III is also very similar to that of Cu(2+)-thermolysin. The EPR spectrum and the EPR parameters of Cu(2+)-DPP III were very similar to those of Cu(2+)-thermolysin but slightly different from those of Cu(2+)-carboxypeptidase A. The five lines of the superfine structure in the perpendicular region of the EPR spectrum in Cu(2+)-DPP III suggest that nitrogen atoms should coordinate to the cupric ion in Cu(2+)-DPP III. All of these data suggest that the donor set and the coordination geometry of the metal ions in DPP III, which has the HExxxH motif as the metal binding site, are very similar to those of the metal ions in thermolysin, which has the HExxH motif. 相似文献
