CADD activates dioxygen and utilizes its own tyrosine and lysine as synthons to furnish the carboxylate, carbon backbone, and amine group of pABA in a complex multistep mechanism. Unlike other members of the heme oxygenase-like dimetal oxidase (HDO) superfamily that typically house an Fe2 cofactor, previous activity studies have shown that CtCADD likely uses a heterobimetallic Fe/Mn center. The structure of the Fe2+/Mn2+ cofactor and how the conserved HDO scaffold mediates metal selectivity have remained enigmatic. Adopting an in crystallo metalation approach, CtCADD was solved in the apo, Fe2+2, Mn2+2, and catalytically active Fe2+/Mn2+ forms to identify the probable site for Mn binding. The analysis of CtCADD active-site variants further reinforces the importance of the secondary coordination sphere on cofactor preference for competent pABA formation. Rapid kinetic optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies show that the heterobimetallic cofactor selectively reacts with dioxygen and likely initiates pABA assembly through the formation of a transient tyrosine radical intermediate and a resultant heterobimetallic Mn3+/Fe3+ cluster.}, journal={BIOCHEMISTRY}, author={Phan, Han N. and Swartz, Paul D. and Gangopadhyay, Medha and Guo, Yisong and Smirnov, Alex I. and Makris, Thomas M.}, year={2024}, month={Oct} }

The enzymatic decarboxylation of fatty acids (FAs) represents an advance toward the development of biological routes to produce drop-in hydrocarbons. The current mechanism for the P450-catalyzed decarboxylation has been largely established from the bacterial cytochrome P450 OleT

RN
, a poly-unsaturated alkene-producing decarboxylase that outrivals the functional properties of the model enzyme and exploits a distinct molecular mechanism for substrate binding and chemoselectivity. In addition to the high conversion rates into alkenes from a broad range of saturated FAs without dependence on high salt concentrations, OleTP
RN
can also efficiently produce alkenes from unsaturated (oleic and linoleic) acids, the most abundant FAs found in nature. OleTP
RN
performs carbon–carbon cleavage by a catalytic itinerary that involves hydrogen-atom transfer by the heme-ferryl intermediate Compound I and features a hydrophobic cradle at the distal region of the substrate-binding pocket, not found in OleT
JE
, which is proposed to play a role in the productive binding of long-chain FAs and favors the rapid release of products from the metabolism of short-chain FAs. Moreover, it is shown that the dimeric configuration of OleTP
RN
is involved in the stabilization of the A-A’ helical motif, a second-coordination sphere of the substrate, which contributes to the proper accommodation of the aliphatic tail in the distal and medial active-site pocket.

The P450 decarboxylase known as OleT converts fatty acids, a sustainable biological feedstock, into terminal alkenes and thus is of high interest as a potential means to produce fungible biofuels. Previous experimental work has established the intermediacy of Compound I in the C─C scission reaction catalyzed by OleT and an unprecedented ability to monitor the HAT process in the presence of bound fatty acid substrates. Here, we leverage the kinetic simplicity of the OleT system to measure the activation barriers for CYP HAT and the temperature dependence of the substrate 2H kinetic isotope effect. Notably, neither measurement has been previously accessible for a CYP to date. Theoretical analysis alludes to the significance of substrate fatty acid coordination for generating the hydrogen donor/acceptor configurations that are most conducive for HAT to occur. The analysis of the two-dimensional potential energy surface, based on multireference electronic wave functions, illustrates the uncoupled character of the hydrogen motion. Quantum dynamics calculations along the hydrogen reaction path demonstrate that hydrogen tunneling is essential to qualitatively capture the experimental isotope effect, its temperature dependence, and appropriate activation energies.

Motivated by the experimental findings of an unusually short Fe-S bond of 2.18 Å for the wild-type (WT) OleT P450 decarboxylase relative to a cysteine pocket mutant form (A369P), a computational model that captures the effect of the thiolate axial ligand on the iron-sulfur distance is presented. With the computational efficiency and streamlined analysis in mind, this model combines a cluster representation of the enzyme─40-110 atoms, depending on the heme and ligand truncation level─with a density functional theory (DFT) description of the electronic structure (ES) and is calibrated against the experimental data. The optimized Fe-S distances show a difference of 0.25 Å between the low and high spin states, in agreement with the crystallographic structures of the OleT WT and mutant forms. We speculate that this difference is attributable to the packing of the ligand; the mutant is bulkier due to an alanine-to-proline replacement, meaning that it is excluded from the energetically favored low-spin minimum because of steric constraints. The presence of pure spin-state pairs and the intersection of the low/high spin states for the enzyme model is indicative of the limitations of single-reference ES methods in such systems and emphasizes the significance of using the proper state when modeling the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reaction catalyzed by OleT.

Fe-S cluster (Isc) and sulfur utilization factor (Suf) pathways are the key biosynthetic routes responsible for generating these Fe-S cluster prosthetic groups in Escherichia coli. Although Isc dominates under normal conditions, Suf takes over during periods of iron depletion and oxidative stress. Sulfur acquisition via these systems relies on the ability to remove sulfur from free cysteine using a cysteine desulfurase mechanism. In the Suf pathway, the dimeric SufS protein uses the cofactor pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) to abstract sulfur from free cysteine, resulting in the production of alanine and persulfide.

Gene expression profiling experiments revealed that hMSCs and ECFCs, encapsulated in osteogenic/vasculogenic hydrogels, expressed considerable levels of plasminogen, urokinase plasminogen activator and its receptor uPAR, and tissue plasminogen activator. Therefore, the plasmin-cleavable lysine-phenylalanine-lysine-threonine (KFKT) was used to generate enzymatically cleavable NPs. The acetyl-terminated, self-assembling peptide glycine-(phenylalanine)3GFFF-ac and the plasmin-cleavable GGKFKTGG were reacted with the cysteine-terminated CGGK(Fmoc/MTT) peptide through the MTT and Fmoc termini, respectively. The difunctional peptide was conjugated to polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) with molecular weights (MW) ranging from 0.5 to 7.5 kDa, and the chain ends of the PEG-peptide conjugate were terminated with succinimide groups. After self-assembly in aqueous solution, BMP2 was grafted to the self-assembled, plasmin-cleavable PEG-based (P xSPCP) NPs for on-demand release. The NPs' stability in aqueous solution and that of the grafted BMP2 were strongly dependent on PEG MW. P2SPCP NPs showed high particle size stability, BMP2 grafting efficiency, grafted protein stability, and high extent of osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. The localized and on-demand release of BMP2 from P xSPCP NPs coencapsulated with hMSCs in the linear polyethylene glycol- co-lactide acrylate patterned hydrogel with microchannels encapsulating hMSCs + ECFCs and VEGF-conjugated nanogels resulted in the highest extent of osteogenic and vasculogenic differentiation of the encapsulated cells compared to directly added BMP2/VEGF.

To date, the structural information regarding the ARD–acireductone complex is limited and possible reaction mechanisms are still under debate. The results of joint experimental and computational studies undertaken to advance knowledge about ARD are reported. The crystal structure of an ARD from Homo sapiens was determined with selenomethionine. EPR spectroscopy suggested that binding acireductone triggers one protein residue to dissociate from Fe2+, which allows NO (and presumably O2) to bind directly to the metal. Mössbauer spectroscopic data (interpreted with the aid of DFT calculations) was consistent with bidentate binding of acireductone to Fe2+ and concomitant dissociation of His88 from the metal. Major features of Fe vibrational spectra obtained for the native enzyme and upon addition of acireductone were reproduced by QM/MM calculations for the proposed models. A computational (QM/MM) study of the reaction mechanisms suggests that Fe2+ promotes O−O bond homolysis, which elicits cleavage of the C1−C2 bond of the substrate.

Metal(0) nanoparticles catalytically decompose NH3; they are, however, ill defined and contain a range of contiguous metal sites with varying coordination numbers and catalytic properties. So far, no well‐defined/molecular Mn+‐containing materials have been demonstrated to break strong N−H bonds catalytically, especially in NH3, the molecule with the strongest N−H bonds. Recently, noncatalytic activation of NH3 with the liberation of molecular H2 on an organometallic molybdenum complex was demonstrated. Herein, we show the catalytic activation and breaking of N−H bonds on a singly dispersed, well‐defined, and highly thermally resistant (even under reducing environments) CoII1O4 site of a heterogeneous catalyst for organic (ethylamine) and inorganic (NH3, with the formation of N2 and H2) molecules. The single‐site material serves as a viable precursor to ultrasmall (2.7 nm and less) silica‐supported cobalt nanoparticles; thus, we directly compare the activity of isolated cationic cobalt sites with small cobalt nanoparticles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest a unique mechanism involving breaking of the N−H bonds in NH3 and N−N coupling steps taking place on a Co1O4 site with the formation of N2H4, which then decomposes to H2 and N2H2; N2H2 subsequently decomposes to H2 and N2. In contrast, Co1N4 sites are not catalytically active, which implies that the ligand environment around a single atom of a heterogeneous catalyst largely controls reactivity.

The cytochrome P450 (NikQ) hydroxylates the amino acid while it is appended via a phosphopantetheine linker to the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) NikP1. The latter enzyme is comprised of an MbtH and single adenylation and thiolation domains, a minimal composition that allows for detailed binding and kinetics studies using an intact and homogeneous NRPS substrate. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies confirm that a stable complex is formed with NikQ and NikP1 when the amino acid is tethered. Size exclusion chromatography is used to further refine the principal components that are required for this interaction. NikQ binds NikP1 in the fully charged state, but binding also occurs when NikP1 is lacking both the phosphopantetheine arm and appended amino acid. This demonstrates that the interaction is mainly guided by presentation of the thiolation domain interface, rather than the attached amino acid. Electrochemistry and transient kinetics have been used to probe the influence of l-His-NikP1 binding on catalysis by NikQ. Unlike many P450s, the binding of substrate fails to induce significant changes on the redox potential and autoxidation properties of NikQ and slows down the binding of dioxygen to the ferrous enzyme to initiate catalysis.

Specifically, it exhibits a blue-shifted broad absorption band around 500 nm and a rR spectrum with a ν(O-O) that is at least 60 cm(-1) lower in energy. Mössbauer studies of the peroxo state reveal a diferric cluster having iron sites with small quadrupole splittings and distinct isomer shifts (0.54 and 0.62 mm/s).

CmlI-peroxo reacts with a range of arylamine substrates by an apparent second-order process, indicating that CmlI-peroxo is the reactive species of the catalytic cycle.

The structure shows that the subunits of the homodimeric CmlA are composed of a 248 residue N‐terminal domain with a novel fold and a 284 residue C‐terminal domain with a metallo‐β‐lactamase (MBL) fold where the diiron cluster is bound. Oxygenase activity has not been previously observed for a diiron cluster in an MBL fold and no other diiron cluster enzyme is known to catalyze β‐hydroxylation. In the diferrous state, the diiron cluster is reactive with O

KatA is the major catalase of PA that detoxifies hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a reactive oxygen intermediate generated during aerobic respiration. Paradoxically, PA displays elevated KatA activity under anaerobic growth conditions where the substrate of KatA, H2O2, is not produced. The aim of the present study is to elucidate the mechanism underlying this phenomenon and define the role of KatA in PA during anaerobiosis using genetic, biochemical and biophysical approaches. We demonstrated that anaerobic wild-type PAO1 cells yielded higher levels of katA transcription and expression than aerobic cells, whereas a nitrite reductase mutant ΔnirS produced ∼50% the KatA activity of PAO1, suggesting that a basal NO level was required for the increased KatA activity. We also found that transcription of the katA gene was controlled, in part, by the master anaerobic regulator, ANR. A ΔkatA mutant and a mucoid mucA22 ΔkatA bacteria demonstrated increased sensitivity to acidified nitrite (an NO generator) in anaerobic planktonic and biofilm cultures. EPR spectra of anaerobic bacteria showed that levels of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC), indicators of NO stress, were increased significantly in the ΔkatA mutant, and dramatically in a ΔnorCB mutant compared to basal levels of DNIC in PAO1 and ΔnirS mutant. Expression of KatA dramatically reduced the DNIC levels in ΔnorCB mutant. We further revealed direct NO-KatA interactions in vitro using EPR, optical spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. KatA has a 5-coordinate high spin ferric heme that binds NO without prior reduction of the heme iron (K d ∼6 μM). Collectively, we conclude that KatA is expressed to protect PA against NO generated during anaerobic respiration. We proposed that such protective effects of KatA may involve buffering of free NO when potentially toxic concentrations of NO are approached.}, number={3}, journal={PLoS ONE}, year={2014} }

We show here that ADO also catalyzes incorporation of an oxygen atom from O2 into the alkane product to yield alcohol and aldehyde products. Oxygenation of the alkane product is much more pronounced with C9-10 aldehyde substrates, so that use of nonanal as the substrate yields similar amounts of octane, octanal, and octanol products. When using doubly-labeled [1,2-13C]-octanal as the substrate, the heptane, heptanal and heptanol products each contained a single 13C-label in the C-1 carbons atoms. The only one-carbon product identified was formate. [18O]-O2 incorporation studies demonstrated formation of [18O]-alcohol product, but rapid solvent exchange prevented similar determination for the aldehyde product. Addition of [1-13C]-nonanol with decanal as the substrate at the outset of the reaction resulted in formation of [1-13C]-nonanal. No 13C-product was formed in the absence of decanal. ADO contains an oxygen-bridged dinuclear iron cluster. The observation of alcohol and aldehyde products derived from the initially formed alkane product suggests a reactive species similar to that formed by methane monooxygenase (MMO) and other members of the bacterial multicomponent monooxygenase family. Accordingly, characterization by EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies shows that the electronic structure of the ADO cluster is similar, but not identical, to that of MMO hydroxylase component. In particular, the two irons of ADO reside in nearly identical environments in both the oxidized and fully reduced states, whereas those of MMOH show distinct differences. These favorable characteristics of the iron sites allow a comprehensive determination of the spin Hamiltonian parameters describing the electronic state of the diferrous cluster for the first time for any biological system.

The diiron cluster bound in the C-terminal domain is coordinated by an acetate, three His residues, two Asp residues, one Glu residue, and a bridging oxo moiety. One of the Asp ligands forms an unusual monodentate bridge. No other oxygen-activating diiron enzyme utilizes this ligation or the MBL protein fold.

Owing to the fact that proton delivery to the active site is hindered in this mutant, the unprotonated peroxo-ferric intermediate is observed as the primary species after radiolytic reduction of the oxy-complex in frozen solutions at 77 K. In as much as previous EPR and ENDOR studies have shown that annealing of this species to approximately 180 K results in protonation of the distal oxygen atom to form the hydroperoxo intermediate, this system has been exploited to permit direct RR interrogation of the changes in the Fe-O and O-O bonds caused by the reduction and subsequent protonation. Our results show that the nu(O-O) mode decreases from a superoxo-like frequency near approximately 1130 cm(-1) to 792 cm(-1) upon reduction. The latter frequency, as well as its lack of sensitivity to H/D exchange, is consistent with heme-bound peroxide formulation. This species also exhibits a nu(Fe-O) mode, the 553 cm(-1) frequency of which is higher than that observed for the nonreduced oxy P450 precursor (537 cm(-1)), implying a strengthened Fe-O linkage upon reduction. Upon subsequent protonation, the resulting Fe-O-OH fragment exhibits a lowered nu(O-O) mode at 774 cm(-1), whereas the nu(Fe-O) increases to 564 cm(-1). Both modes exhibit a downshift upon H/D exchange, as expected for a hydroperoxo-ferric formulation.

In the intervening years, the study of cytochrome P-450 dependent monoxygenases has expanded exponentially. From the first crude attempts to solubilise a P-450 (Omura and Sato, 1963, 1964b) to the determination of the primary, secondary, and tertiary structure of cytochrome P-450cam by amino acid sequencing (Haniu et al., 1982a,b) and x-ray crystallography (Poulos et al., 1984) our understanding of this unique family of proteins has been advancing on all fronts. Since, perhaps, the greatest understanding of the structure and mechanism of P-450s has come from concentrated study of P-450cam of the Pseudomonas putida camphor-5-exo-hydroxylase, this review will concentrate on findings with P-450cam; attention will be drawn to parallel and contrasting examples from other P-450s as appropriate.}, number={6}, journal={Chemical Reviews}, author={Denisov, I.G. and Makris, T.M. and Sligar, S.G. and Schlichting, I.}, year={2005}, pages={2253–2277} }

The oxyferrous complex of T252A P450-CAM, a mutant lacking the hydroxyl group that forms a hydrogen bond to the heme iron-coordinated dioxygen, has also been studied to gauge the influence of this hydrogen bond. UV–visible absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of these oxyferrous adducts prepared and stabilized at −40 °C in 60% (v/v) ethylene glycol are generally similar, exhibiting absorption bands at ∼355, ∼420, ∼554, and ∼585 nm (shoulder) and a characteristic MCD trough at ∼585 nm. The MCD spectrum of camphor-bound oxyferrous P450-CAM is similar to that of the substrate-free oxyferrous enzyme, but the spectrum of the oxyferrous enzyme differs detectably in the presence of substrate analogs. The spectra of the oxyferrous T252A mutant and wild-type enzyme are overall similar except for Soret band position blue shifts by 2–6 nm for the mutant. 5-Methylenylcamphor (epoxidation substrate) appears to have an anomalous binding mode for the mutant compared with that for the wild-type enzyme. The present results indicate that the structures of the camphor analogs can sensitively influence the physical (spectroscopic) properties of the P450 dioxygen complex and could also affect its reactivity. The ability of substrate to modulate the reactivity of P450 intermediates could be a relevant factor in explaining the remarkable diversity of reactions catalyzed by the enzyme.}, number={1}, journal={Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics}, author={Sono, M. and Perera, R. and Jin, S. and Makris, T.M. and Sligar, S.G. and Bryson, T.A. and Dawson, J.H.}, year={2005}, pages={40–49} }

A similar method has been adapted for biochemical needs in mechanistic studies of cytochrome P450cam and heme oxygenase. The method is based on preparing the precursor (oxyferrous heme complex) at ambient conditions, freezing it at 77 K, and irradiating it with high-energy photons (X-rays or gamma rays from a 6°C source). The chapter describes radiolysis. Radiolysis of the solvent water and glycerol provides electrons that reduce the oxyferrous heme complex and turn it into the active peroxo-heme or hydroperoxoheme complex. Working at cryogenic temperature in the frozen solution incorporates the advantages of radiolysis and avoids its drawbacks, the most important advantage being the multiple side reactions with different radical products of radiolysis.

EPR and UV-visible absorption spectra show that protonation of the primary intermediate of radiolytic reduction, the peroxo-ferric complex, to form the hydroperoxo-ferric complex is completed only after annealing at temperatures 150–180 K. After further annealing at 195–205 K, this complex directly transforms to ferric HRP without any observable intervening species. The lack of Compound I formation is explained by inability of the enzyme to deliver the second proton to the distal oxygen atom of hydroperoxide ligand, shown to be necessary for dioxygen bond heterolysis on the “oxidase pathway,” which is non-physiological for HRP. Alternatively, the physiological substrate H2O2 brings both protons to the active site of HRP, and Compound I is subsequently formed via rearrangement of the proton from the proximal to the distal oxygen atom of the bound peroxide.}, number={45}, journal={Journal of Biological Chemistry}, author={Denisov, I.G. and Makris, T.M. and Sligar, S.G.}, year={2002}, pages={42706–42710} }

The detailed mechanistic understanding of their oxidative prowess is a critical theme in the studies of metabolism of a wide range of organic compounds including xenobiotics. Integral to the O2 bond cleavage mechanism by P450 is the enzyme's concerted use of protein and solvent-mediated proton transfer events to transform reduced dioxygen to a species capable of oxidative chemistry. To this end, a wide range of kinetic, structural, and mutagenesis data has been accrued. A critical role of conserved acid-alcohol residues in the P450 distal pocket, as well as stabilized waters, enables the enzyme to catalyze effective monooxygenation chemistry.

We have used EPR and ENDOR spectroscopies to characterize the primary product of reduction as well as subsequent states created by annealing reduced oxyP450, both the WT enzyme and the D251N and T252A mutants, at progressively higher temperatures. (i) The primary product upon reduction of oxyP450 4 is the end-on, "H-bonded peroxo" intermediate 5A. (ii) This converts even at cryogenic temperatures to the hydroperoxo-ferriheme species, 5B, in a step that is sensitive to these mutations. Yields of 5B are as high as 40%. (iii) In WT and D251N P450s, brief annealing in a narrow temperature range around 200 K causes 5B to convert to a product state, 7A, in which the product 5-exo-hydroxycamphor is coordinated to the ferriheme in a nonequilibrium configuration. Chemical and EPR quantitations indicate the reaction pathway involving 5B yields 5-exo-hydroxycamphor quantitatively. Analogous (but less extensive) results are seen for the alternate substrate, adamantane. (iv) Although the T252A mutation does not interfere with the formation of 5B, the cryoreduced oxyT252A does not yield product, which suggests that 5B is a key intermediate at or near the branch-point that leads either to product formation or to nonproductive "uncoupling" and H(2)O(2) production. The D251N mutation appears to perturb multiple stages in the catalytic cycle. (v) There is no spectroscopic evidence for the buildup of a high-valence oxyferryl/porphyrin pi-cation radical intermediate, 6. However, ENDOR spectroscopy of 7A in H(2)O and D(2)O buffers shows that 7A contains hydroxycamphor, rather than water, bound to Fe(3+), and that the proton removed from the C(5) carbon of substrate during hydroxylation is trapped as the hydroxyl proton. This demonstrates that hydroxylation of substrates by P450cam in fact occurs by the formation and reaction of 6. (vi) Annealing at > or = 220 K converts the initial product state 7A to the equilibrium product state 7, with the transition occurring via a second nonequilibrium product state, 7B, in the D251N mutant; in states 7B and 7 the hydroxycamphor hydroxyl proton no longer is trapped.
