Structurally, it is a homodimer composed of multiple domains connected by random coil tethers. The resulting structural flexibility, along with the diverse conformational states it enables, is essential for NOS function and remains an active area of investigations. Here, we studied the docking interactions between the reductase domains of NOS subunits. To probe these interactions, a nitroxide-based bifunctional spin label was attached to each T34C/S38C calmodulin (CaM) molecule bound to the CaM-binding region of the tether, which connects the oxygenase and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) domains in each subunit of the homodimeric oxygenase/FMN (oxyFMN) construct of rat neuronal NOS (nNOS). The magnetic dipole interaction between the spin labels was detected by 2 + 1 electron spin echo (ESE) methods. The experimental 2 + 1 ESE traces were interpreted using the Monte Carlo calculations of NOS conformational distributions. The results unequivocally show that at the estimated effective temperature of the frozen conformational distribution, T<sub>ef</sub> ≈ 200 K, a large proportion of the oxyFMN proteins (~ 55%) adopt a clamp-shaped conformation in which the FMN domains of different NOS subunits dock with each other. The stabilization energy of this docking complex (i.e., docking energy) was estimated in the model of isotropic interaction as - 7.2kT<sub>ef</sub> ≈ - 2.9 kcal/mol. The identification of this clamp-shaped conformation suggests it as an intermediate structural state that may influence NOS catalytic efficiency by facilitating the FMN-heme interdomain electron transfer through constraining the conformational space accessible to the FMN domain as it approaches its docking positions at the heme domain.</p>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145068817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulations capture two metastable 4WJ conformations -one resembling a 3WJ, and another where the extended length enables the cylinder to angle into and stabilise a rhombus-shaped 4WJ cavity.

These interactions, which arise from electronic coupling, spin exchange, and spatial arrangement, directly influence redox behavior and catalytic efficiency. This review highlights three distinct complex enzymes—[NiFe] hydrogenases, mononuclear molybdenum-containing xanthine oxidase (XO) family, and [NiFe] and [MoCu] carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs)—as paradigms for understanding (Fe/S)-metal center interactions. In [NiFe] hydrogenases, (Fe/S) clusters serve as electron relays that magnetically interact with the catalytic [NiFe] active site. In XO-type enzymes, a mononuclear Mo center is functionally and magnetically coupled to nearby Fe/S clusters, modulating substrate reduction and electron transfer. Similarly, in CODHs, both [NiFe]—and [MoCu]-dependent variants exhibit strong magnetic communication between metal active sites and surrounding Fe/S clusters, crucial for CO<sub>2</sub>/CO interconversion. Advanced spectroscopic approaches, particularly electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and related techniques, combined with theoretical modelling, have provided deep insights into the electronic structures and dynamic interactions within these metalloenzymes. Understanding these magnetic interactions not only sheds light on fundamental electron-transfer and enzymatic mechanisms but also guides the design of bioinspired catalysts and energy-conversion technologies. </p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"30 4-5","pages":"329 - 344"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12316806/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iron-binding chelators are currently under investigation as potential cancer therapeutics because they allow manipulation of iron availability and redox chemistry. In addition, the design of prochelator systems enables the release of iron-binding chelators upon cell entry and therefore the sequestration of intracellular (rather than systemic) iron. We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of disulfide-based prochelators featuring a 2-pyridyl-hydrazone motif and resulting in a tridentate (<i>S,N,N</i>) donor set as found in several antiproliferative chelators (e.g., Triapine, Dp44mT, DpC, COTI-2). Upon disulfide reduction and iron(II) coordination, the chelators stabilize ferric complexes that are redox-active in neutral aqueous conditions. Symmetric prochelator (PH3-S)<sub>2</sub> and glucose conjugate G6PH3 have antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic effects in A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells. Both compounds sequester intracellular iron and impact the expression of the transferrin receptor TfR1 and the iron storage protein ferritin. Oxidative stress is found to be a component of the mechanism of action of these prochelators. Accordingly, the preformed iron complex FePH3 also leads to apoptosis and iron dysregulation, and its toxicity is enhanced when the antioxidant capacity of the cells is impaired. The incorporation of the 2-pyridyl-hydrazone motif in disulfide-based prochelators therefore combines iron sequestration with pro-oxidant effects that could enhance the pharmacological profile of this chelation approach for cancer applications.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"30 4-5","pages":"443 - 452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144537688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
