Observation of the Fe-CN and Fe-CO vibrations in the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenase by nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear inelastic scattering of (57)Fe labeled [NiFe] hydrogenase is shown to give information on different states of the enzyme. It was thus possible to detect and assign Fe-CO and Fe-CN bending and stretching vibrations of the active site outside the spectral range of the Fe-S cluster normal modes.

Hydride bridge in [NiFe]-hydrogenase observed by nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy.

Project description:The metabolism of many anaerobes relies on [NiFe]-hydrogenases, whose characterization when bound to substrates has proven non-trivial. Presented here is direct evidence for a hydride bridge in the active site of the (57)Fe-labelled fully reduced Ni-R form of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki F [NiFe]-hydrogenase. A unique 'wagging' mode involving H(-) motion perpendicular to the Ni(μ-H)(57)Fe plane was studied using (57)Fe-specific nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. On Ni(μ-D)(57)Fe deuteride substitution, this wagging causes a characteristic perturbation of Fe-CO/CN bands. Spectra have been interpreted by comparison with Ni(μ-H/D)(57)Fe enzyme mimics [(dppe)Ni(μ-pdt)(μ-H/D)(57)Fe(CO)3](+) and DFT calculations, which collectively indicate a low-spin Ni(II)(μ-H)Fe(II) core for Ni-R, with H(-) binding Ni more tightly than Fe. The present methodology is also relevant to characterizing Fe-H moieties in other important natural and synthetic catalysts.

Synthesis and vibrational spectroscopy of (57)Fe-labeled models of [NiFe] hydrogenase: first direct observation of a nickel-iron interaction.

Project description:A new route to iron carbonyls has enabled synthesis of (57)Fe-labeled [NiFe] hydrogenase mimic (OC)3(57)Fe(pdt)Ni(dppe). Its study by nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy revealed Ni-(57)Fe vibrations, as confirmed by calculations. The modes are absent for [(OC)3(57)Fe(pdt)Ni(dppe)](+), which lacks Ni-(57)Fe bonding, underscoring the utility of the analyses in identifying metal-metal interactions.

Direct Observation of an Iron-Bound Terminal Hydride in [FeFe]-Hydrogenase by Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy.

Project description:[FeFe]-hydrogenases catalyze the reversible reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen with extremely high efficiency. The active site ("H-cluster") consists of a [4Fe-4S]H cluster linked through a bridging cysteine to a [2Fe]H subsite coordinated by CN- and CO ligands featuring a dithiol-amine moiety that serves as proton shuttle between the protein proton channel and the catalytic distal iron site (Fed). Although there is broad consensus that an iron-bound terminal hydride species must occur in the catalytic mechanism, such a species has never been directly observed experimentally. Here, we present FTIR and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) experiments in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) calculations on an [FeFe]-hydrogenase variant lacking the amine proton shuttle which is stabilizing a putative hydride state. The NRVS spectra unequivocally show the bending modes of the terminal Fe-H species fully consistent with widely accepted models of the catalytic cycle.

Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy reveals the FeS cluster composition and active site vibrational properties of an O<sub>2</sub>-tolerant NAD<sup>+</sup>-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenase.

Project description:Hydrogenases are complex metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible splitting of molecular hydrogen into protons and electrons essentially without overpotential. The NAD+-reducing soluble hydrogenase (SH) from Ralstonia eutropha is capable of H2 conversion even in the presence of usually toxic dioxygen. The molecular details of the underlying reactions are largely unknown, mainly because of limited knowledge of the structure and function the various metal cofactors present in the enzyme. Here all iron-containing cofactors of the SH were investigated by 57Fe specific nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS). Our data provide experimental evidence for one [2Fe2S] center and four [4Fe4S] clusters, which is consistent with amino acid sequence composition. Only the [2Fe2S] cluster and one of the four [4Fe4S] clusters were reduced upon incubation of the SH with NADH. This finding explains the discrepancy between the large number of FeS clusters and the small amount of FeS cluster-related signals as detected by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis of several NAD+-reducing hydrogenases. For the first time, Fe-CO and Fe-CN modes derived from the [NiFe] active site could be distinguished by NRVS through selective 13C labeling of the CO ligand. This strategy also revealed the molecular coordinates that dominate the individual Fe-CO modes. The present approach explores the complex vibrational signature of the Fe-S clusters and the hydrogenase active site, thereby showing that NRVS represents a powerful tool for the elucidation of complex biocatalysts containing multiple cofactors.

Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of 57Fe-enriched [FeFe] hydrogenase indicate stepwise assembly of the H-cluster.

Project description:The [FeFe] hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum (CpI) harbors four Fe-S clusters that facilitate the transfer of an electron to the H-cluster, a ligand-coordinated six-iron prosthetic group that catalyzes the redox interconversion of protons and H(2). Here, we have used (57)Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to study the iron centers in CpI, and we compare our data to that for a [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin as well as a model complex resembling the [2Fe](H) catalytic domain of the H-cluster. To enrich the hydrogenase with (57)Fe nuclei, we used cell-free methods to post-translationally mature the enzyme. Specifically, inactive CpI apoprotein with (56)Fe-labeled Fe-S clusters was activated in vitro using (57)Fe-enriched maturation proteins. This approach enabled us to selectively label the [2Fe](H) subcluster with (57)Fe, which NRVS confirms by detecting (57)Fe-CO and (57)Fe-CN normal modes from the H-cluster nonprotein ligands. The NRVS and iron quantification results also suggest that the hydrogenase contains a second (57)Fe-S cluster. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy indicates that this (57)Fe-enriched metal center is not the [4Fe-4S](H) subcluster of the H-cluster. This finding demonstrates that the CpI hydrogenase retained an (56)Fe-enriched [4Fe-4S](H) cluster during in vitro maturation, providing unambiguous evidence of stepwise assembly of the H-cluster. In addition, this work represents the first NRVS characterization of [FeFe] hydrogenases.

Characterization of the Fe site in iron-sulfur cluster-free hydrogenase (Hmd) and of a model compound via nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS).

Project description:We have used (57)Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to study the iron site in the iron-sulfur cluster-free hydrogenase Hmd from the methanogenic archaeon Methanothermobacter marburgensis. The spectra have been interpreted by comparison with a cis-(CO)2-ligated Fe model compound, Fe(S2C2H4)(CO)2(PMe3)2, as well as by normal mode simulations of plausible active site structures. For this model complex, normal mode analyses both from an optimized Urey-Bradley force field and from complementary density functional theory (DFT) calculations produced consistent results. For Hmd, previous IR spectroscopic studies found strong CO stretching modes at 1944 and 2011 cm(-1), interpreted as evidence for cis-Fe(CO)2 ligation. The NRVS data provide further insight into the dynamics of the Fe site, revealing Fe-CO stretch and Fe-CO bend modes at 494, 562, 590, and 648 cm(-1), consistent with the proposed cis-Fe(CO)2 ligation. The NRVS also reveals a band assigned to Fe-S stretching motion at approximately 311 cm(-1) and another reproducible feature at approximately 380 cm(-1). The (57)Fe partial vibrational densities of states (PVDOS) for Hmd can be reasonably well simulated by a normal mode analysis based on a Urey-Bradley force field for a five-coordinate cis-(CO)2-ligated Fe site with additional cysteine, water, and pyridone cofactor ligands. A "truncated" model without a water ligand can also be used to match the NRVS data. A final interpretation of the Hmd NRVS data, including DFT analysis, awaits a three-dimensional structure for the active site.

Hydroxy-bridged resting states of a [NiFe]-hydrogenase unraveled by cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy and DFT computations.

Project description:The catalytic mechanism of [NiFe]-hydrogenases is a subject of extensive research. Apart from at least four reaction intermediates of H2/H+ cycling, there are also a number of resting states, which are formed under oxidizing conditions. Although not directly involved in the catalytic cycle, the knowledge of their molecular structures and reactivity is important, because these states usually accumulate in the course of hydrogenase purification and may also play a role in vivo during hydrogenase maturation. Here, we applied low-temperature infrared (cryo-IR) and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to the isolated catalytic subunit (HoxC) of the heterodimeric regulatory [NiFe]-hydrogenase (RH) from Ralstonia eutropha. Cryo-IR spectroscopy revealed that the HoxC protein can be enriched in almost pure resting redox states suitable for NRVS investigation. NRVS analysis of the hydrogenase catalytic center is usually hampered by strong spectral contributions of the FeS clusters of the small, electron-transferring subunit. Therefore, our approach to investigate the FeS cluster-free, 57Fe-labeled HoxC provided an unprecedented insight into the [NiFe] site modes, revealing their contributions in a spectral range otherwise superimposed by FeS cluster-derived bands. Rationalized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, our data provide structural descriptions of the previously uncharacterized hydroxy- and water-containing resting states. Our work highlights the relevance of cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy and DFT to elucidate the structure of barely defined redox states of the [NiFe]-hydrogenase active site.

Probing Hydrogen Bonding Interactions to Iron-Oxido/Hydroxido Units by 57 Fe Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy.

Project description:Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) have been shown to modulate the chemical reactivities of iron centers in iron-containing dioxygen-activating enzymes and model complexes. However, few examples are available that investigate how systematic changes in intramolecular H-bonds within the secondary coordination sphere influence specific properties of iron intermediates, such as iron-oxido/hydroxido species. Here, we used 57 Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to probe the Fe-O/OH vibrations in a series of FeIII -hydroxido and FeIV/III -oxido complexes with varying H-bonding networks but having similar trigonal bipyramidal primary coordination spheres. The data show that even subtle changes in the H-bonds to the Fe-O/OH units result in significant changes in their vibrational frequencies, thus demonstrating the utility of NRVS in studying the effect of the secondary coordination sphere to the reactivities of iron complexes.

Predicting Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectra of [Fe(OEP)(NO)].

Project description:Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy (NRVS) is a sensitive vibrational probe for biologically important heme complexes. The exquisite sensitivity of the NRVS data to the electronic structure provides detailed insights into the nature of these interesting compounds, but requires highly accurate computational methods for the mode assignments. To determine the best combinations of density functionals and basis sets, a series of benchmark DFT calculations on the previously characterized complex [Fe(OEP)NO] (OEP(2-)=octaethylporphyrinatio dianion) were performed. A test set of 21 methodology combinations including 8 functionals (BP86, mPWPW91, B3LYP, PBE1PBE, M062X, M06L, LC-BP86 and ?B97X-D) and 5 basis set (VTZ, TZVP, Lanl2DZ for iron and 6-31G*, 6-31+G* for other atoms) was carried out to calculate electronic structures and vibrational frequencies. We also implemented the conversion of frequency calculations into orientation-selective mode composition factors (e(2)), which can used to simulate the Vibrational Density Of States (VDOS) using Gaussian normal distribution functions. These use a series of user-friendly scripts for their application to NRVS. The structures as well as the isotropic and anisotropic NRVS of [Fe(OEP)NO] obtained with the M06L functional with a variety of basis sets are found to best reproduce the available experimental data, followed by B3LYP/LanL2DZ calculations. Other density functionals and basis sets do not produce the same level of accuracy. The noticeably worse agreement between theory and experiment for the out-plane NRVS compared with the excellent performance of the M06L functional for the in-plane prediction is attributed to deficiencies of the physical model rather than the computational methodology.

[NiFe], [FeFe], and [Fe] hydrogenase models from isomers.

Project description:The study of hydrogenase enzymes (H2ases) is necessary because of their importance to a future hydrogen energy economy. These enzymes come in three distinct classes: [NiFe] H2ases, which have a propensity toward H2 oxidation; [FeFe] H2ases, which have a propensity toward H2 evolution; and [Fe] H2ases, which catalyze H- transfer. Modeling these enzymes has so far treated them as different species, which is understandable given the different cores and ligand sets of the natural molecules. Here, we demonstrate, using x-ray analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, Mössbauer spectroscopies, and electrochemical measurement, that the catalytic properties of all three enzymes can be mimicked with only three isomers of the same NiFe complex.
