P450-BM3-Catalyzed Sulfoxidation versus Hydroxylation: A Common or Two Different Catalytically Active Species?

ABSTRACT: While the mechanism of the P450-catalyzed oxidative hydroxylation of organic compounds has been studied in detail for many years, less is known about sulfoxidation. Depending upon the structure of the respective substrate, heme-Fe?O (Cpd I), heme-Fe(III)-OOH (Cpd 0), and heme-Fe(III)-H2O2 (protonated Cpd 0) have been proposed as reactive intermediates. In the present study, we consider the transformation of isosteric substrates via sulfoxidation and oxidative hydroxylation, respectively, catalyzed by regio- and enantioselective mutants of P450-BM3 which were constructed by directed evolution. 1-Thiochromanone and 1-tetralone were used as the isosteric substrates because, unlike previous studies involving fully flexible compounds such as thia-fatty acids and fatty acids, respectively, these compounds are rigid and cannot occur in a multitude of different conformations and binding modes in the large P450-BM3 binding pocket. The experimental results comprising activity and regio- and enantioselectivity, flanked by molecular dynamics computations within a time scale of 300 ns and QM/MM calculations of transition-state energies, unequivocally show that heme-Fe?O (Cpd I) is the common catalytically active intermediate in both sulfoxidation and oxidative hydroxylation.

Project description:The effects of mutation of key active-site residues (Arg-47, Tyr-51, Phe-42 and Phe-87) in Bacillus megaterium flavocytochrome P450 BM3 were investigated. Kinetic studies on the oxidation of laurate and arachidonate showed that the side chain of Arg-47 contributes more significantly to stabilization of the fatty acid carboxylate than does that of Tyr-51 (kinetic parameters for oxidation of laurate: R47A mutant, Km 859 microM, kcat 3960 min-1; Y51F mutant, Km 432 microM, kcat 6140 min-1; wild-type, Km 288 microM, kcat 5140 min-1). A slightly increased kcat for the Y51F-catalysed oxidation of laurate is probably due to decreased activation energy (DeltaG) resulting from a smaller DeltaG of substrate binding. The side chain of Phe-42 acts as a phenyl 'cap' over the mouth of the substrate-binding channel. With mutant F42A, Km is massively increased and kcat is decreased for oxidation of both laurate (Km 2. 08 mM, kcat 2450 min-1) and arachidonate (Km 34.9 microM, kcat 14620 min-1; compared with values of 4.7 microM and 17100 min-1 respectively for wild-type). Amino acid Phe-87 is critical for efficient catalysis. Mutants F87G and F87Y not only exhibit increased Km and decreased kcat values for fatty acid oxidation, but also undergo an irreversible conversion process from a 'fast' to a 'slow' rate of substrate turnover [for F87G (F87Y)-catalysed laurate oxidation: kcat 'fast', 760 (1620) min-1; kcat 'slow', 48.0 (44.6) min-1; kconv (rate of conversion from fast to slow form), 4.9 (23.8) min-1]. All mutants showed less than 10% uncoupling of NADPH oxidation from fatty acid oxidation. The rate of FMN-to-haem electron transfer was shown to become rate-limiting in all mutants analysed. For wild-type P450 BM3, the rate of FMN-to-haem electron transfer (8340 min-1) is twice the steady-state rate of oxidation (4100 min-1), indicating that other steps contribute to rate limitation. Active-site structures of the mutants were probed with the inhibitors 12-(imidazolyl)dodecanoic acid and 1-phenylimidazole. Mutant F87G binds 1-phenylimidazole >10-fold more tightly than does the wild-type, whereas mutant Y51F binds the haem-co-ordinating fatty acid analogue 12-(imidazolyl)dodecanoic acid >30-fold more tightly than wild-type.
