X-ray-absorption-spectroscopic evidence for a novel iron cluster in hydrogenase II from Clostridium pasteurianum.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogenase II from Clostridium pasteurianum contains three different iron-sulphur clusters. Two are [4Fe-4S](2+.1+) clusters, whereas the other, which is thought to be the site of interaction with H2 and is known as the 'H cluster', is of unknown structure and possesses unusual spectroscopic properties. Analysis of the iron e.x.a.f.s. spectra shows that the H cluster contains iron co-ordinated mostly to sulphur and possesses 2.8 A (1 A = 0.1 nm) Fe--Fe separations when oxidized and 3.3 A Fe--Fe separations when reduced with H2. The data suggest that the reduced H cluster represents a new structural type of iron-sulphur cluster.

Mechanism of proton transfer in [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum.

Project description:[FeFe]-Hydrogenases are complex metalloproteins that catalyze the reversible reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen utilizing a unique diiron subcluster bridged to a [4Fe4S] subcluster. Extensive studies have concentrated on the nature and catalytic activity of the active site, yet relatively little information is available concerning the mechanism of proton transport that is required for this activity. Previously, structural characterization of [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum indicated a potential proton transport pathway involving four residues (Cys-299, Glu-279, Ser-319, and Glu-282) that connect the active site to the enzyme surface. Here, we demonstrate that substitution of any of these residues resulted in a drastic reduction in hydrogenase activity relative to the native enzyme, supporting the importance of these residues in catalysis. Inhibition studies of native and amino acid-substituted enzymes revealed that Zn(2+) specifically blocked proton transfer by binding to Glu-282, confirming the role of this residue in the identified pathway. In addition, all four of these residues are strictly conserved, suggesting that they may form a proton transport pathway that is common to all [FeFe]-hydrogenases.

E.p.r.-spectroscopic studies on the molybdenum-iron site of nitrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum.

Project description:The e.p.r. spectroscopy of the nitrogenase molybdenum-iron protein from Clostridium pasteurianum was re-investigated. The sharpness of the delta Ms = +/- 3 g'z peak from the +/- 3/2 Kramer's doublet enables the observation and quantification of incompletely resolved hyperfine splittings from the stable magnetic nuclei 95Mo and 57Fe in samples enriched in these isotopes. No couplings to 1H or 17O could be discerned by examination of spectra from samples exchanged into 2H2O and H2(17)O respectively. Simulation of the spectrum from 95Mo-enriched samples yields a hyperfine coupling of 2.9 MHz, and indicates that the earlier electron-nuclear-double-resonance-derived estimate of 8.1 +/- 0.2 MHz is substantially in error.

X-ray crystallographic and EPR spectroscopic analysis of HydG, a maturase in [FeFe]-hydrogenase H-cluster assembly.

Project description:Hydrogenases use complex metal cofactors to catalyze the reversible formation of hydrogen. In [FeFe]-hydrogenases, the H-cluster cofactor includes a diiron subcluster containing azadithiolate, three CO, and two CN(-) ligands. During the assembly of the H cluster, the radical S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) enzyme HydG lyses the substrate tyrosine to yield the diatomic ligands. These diatomic products form an enzyme-bound Fe(CO)x(CN)y synthon that serves as a precursor for eventual H-cluster assembly. To further elucidate the mechanism of this complex reaction, we report the crystal structure and EPR analysis of HydG. At one end of the HydG (βα)8 triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) barrel, a canonical [4Fe-4S] cluster binds SAM in close proximity to the proposed tyrosine binding site. At the opposite end of the active-site cavity, the structure reveals the auxiliary Fe-S cluster in two states: one monomer contains a [4Fe-5S] cluster, and the other monomer contains a [5Fe-5S] cluster consisting of a [4Fe-4S] cubane bridged by a μ2-sulfide ion to a mononuclear Fe(2+) center. This fifth iron is held in place by a single highly conserved protein-derived ligand: histidine 265. EPR analysis confirms the presence of the [5Fe-5S] cluster, which on incubation with cyanide, undergoes loss of the labile iron to yield a [4Fe-4S] cluster. We hypothesize that the labile iron of the [5Fe-5S] cluster is the site of Fe(CO)x(CN)y synthon formation and that the limited bonding between this iron and HydG may facilitate transfer of the intact synthon to its cognate acceptor for subsequent H-cluster assembly.

[FeFe]-hydrogenase maturation: H-cluster assembly intermediates tracked by electron paramagnetic resonance, infrared, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Project description:[FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes employ a unique organometallic cofactor for efficient and reversible hydrogen conversion. This so-called H-cluster consists of a [4Fe-4S] cubane cysteine linked to a diiron complex coordinated by carbon monoxide and cyanide ligands and an azadithiolate ligand (adt = NH(CH2S)2)·[FeFe]-hydrogenase apo-protein binding only the [4Fe-4S] sub-complex can be fully activated in vitro by the addition of a synthetic diiron site precursor complex ([2Fe]adt). Elucidation of the mechanism of cofactor assembly will aid in the design of improved hydrogen processing synthetic catalysts. We combined electron paramagnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy to characterize intermediates of H-cluster assembly as initiated by mixing of the apo-protein (HydA1) from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with [2Fe]adt. The three methods consistently show rapid formation of a complete H-cluster in the oxidized, CO-inhibited state (Hox-CO) already within seconds after the mixing. Moreover, FTIR spectroscopy support a model in which Hox-CO formation is preceded by a short-lived Hred'-CO-like intermediate. Accumulation of Hox-CO was followed by CO release resulting in the slower conversion to the catalytically active state (Hox) as well as formation of reduced states of the H-cluster.

High-resolution iron X-ray absorption spectroscopic and computational studies of non-heme diiron peroxo intermediates.

Project description:Ferritin-like carboxylate-bridged non-heme diiron enzymes activate O2 for a variety of difficult reactions throughout nature. These reactions often begin by abstraction of hydrogen from strong CH bonds. The enzymes activate O2 at their diferrous cofactors to form canonical diferric peroxo intermediates, with a range of possible coordination modes. Herein, we explore the ability of high-energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD XAS) to provide insight into the nature of peroxo level intermediates in non-heme diiron proteins. Freeze quenched (FQ) peroxo intermediates from p-aminobenzoate N-oxygenase (AurF), aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO), and the β subunit of class Ia ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli (Ecβ) are investigated. All three intermediates are proposed to adopt different peroxo binding modes, and each exhibit different Fe Kα HERFD XAS pre-edge features and intensities. As these FQ-trapped samples consist of multiple species, deconvolution of HERFD XAS spectra based on speciation, as determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy, is also necessitated - yielding 'pure' diferric peroxo HERFD XAS spectra from dilute protein samples. Finally, the impact of a given peroxo coordination mode on the HERFD XAS pre-edge energy and intensity is evaluated through time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of the XAS spectra on a series of hypothetical model complexes, which span a full range of possible peroxo coordination modes to a diferric core. The utility of HERFD XAS for future studies of enzymatic intermediates is discussed.

X-ray absorption spectroscopic characterization of a cytochrome P450 compound II derivative.

Project description:The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP119, its compound II derivative, and its nitrosyl complex were studied by iron K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The compound II derivative was prepared by reaction of the resting enzyme with peroxynitrite and had a lifetime of approximately 10 s at 23 degrees C. The CYP119 nitrosyl complex was prepared by reaction of the enzyme with nitrogen monoxide gas or with a nitrosyl donor and was stable at 23 degrees C for hours. Samples of CYP119 and its derivatives were studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy at temperatures below 140 (K) at the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory. The x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra displayed shifts in edge and pre-edge energies consistent with increasing effective positive charge on iron in the series native CYP119 < CYP119 nitrosyl complex < CYP119 compound II derivative. Extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectra were simulated with good fits for k = 12 A(-1) for native CYP119 and k = 13 A(-1) for both the nitrosyl complex and the compound II derivative. The important structural features for the compound II derivative were an iron-oxygen bond length of 1.82 A and an iron-sulfur bond length of 2.24 A, both of which indicate an iron-oxygen single bond in a ferryl-hydroxide, Fe(IV)OH, moiety.
