Selective isotope labeling probes the chemical capacity and reaction mechanism of a heterobimetallic Mn/Fe protein
The R2-like ligand binding oxidase (R2lox) forms a novel tyrosine-valine crosslink upon O2 activation, reflecting an overall two-electron oxidation reaction. However, the mechanism through which the crosslink is formed is under debate, as the reaction can be initiated through either tyrosine OH or valine CH bond activation. Here, we utilized selective isotopic labeling and several spectroscopic techniques to probe the mechanism of this oxidation process. The results suggest that R2lox is capable of performing CH bond activation, with both solvent and CH kinetic isotope effects of approximately 2. Signatures of a high-valent MnIV/FeIV intermediate were observed through rapid-freeze-quench EPR that resemble an analogous intermediate found in the heterobimetallic radical-initiating enzyme, class Ic ribonucleotide reductase. This study provides a lower bound on the free energies of CH bonds that can be cleaved by Mn/Fe cofactors and suggests the potential for such enzymes to functionally replace Fe/Fe cofactors in a range of reactions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry is an established international forum for research in all aspects of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of a high scientific level are published in the form of Articles (full length papers), Short Communications, Focused Reviews and Bioinorganic Methods. Topics include: the chemistry, structure and function of metalloenzymes; the interaction of inorganic ions and molecules with proteins and nucleic acids; the synthesis and properties of coordination complexes of biological interest including both structural and functional model systems; the function of metal- containing systems in the regulation of gene expression; the role of metals in medicine; the application of spectroscopic methods to determine the structure of metallobiomolecules; the preparation and characterization of metal-based biomaterials; and related systems. The emphasis of the Journal is on the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules.
