Abstract
Iron oxygenases generate elusive transient oxygen species to catalyze substrate oxygenation in a wide range of metabolic processes. Here we resolve the reaction sequence and structures of such intermediates for the archetypal non-heme Fe(II) and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase TauD. Time-resolved Raman spectra of the initial species with (16)O(18)O oxygen unequivocally establish the Fe(IV) horizontal lineO structure. (1)H/(2)H substitution reveals direct interaction between the oxo group and the C1 proton of substrate taurine. Two new transient species were resolved following Fe(IV) horizontal lineO; one is assigned to the nu(FeO) mode of an Fe(III) horizontal line O(H) species, and a second is likely to arise from the vibration of a metal-coordinated oxygenated product, such as Fe(II) horizontal line O horizontal line C(1) or Fe(II) horizontal line OOCR. These results provide direct insight into the mechanism of substrate oxygenation and suggest an alternative to the hydroxyl radical rebinding paradigm.

Abstract
The addition of divalent metal ions or substrate taurine to TauD, an alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase, alters its UV absorption, as clearly observed by monitoring the protein's difference spectra. Binding of metal ions leads to a decrease in absorption at approximately 297 nm and modulation of other features. A separate signature with enhanced absorption at approximately 295 nm is identified for binding of taurine. These narrow ( approximately 700 cm(-1)) and intense ( approximately 0.5mM(-1) cm(-1)) spectral changes are attributed to ligand-induced protein conformational changes affecting the environment of aromatic residues. The changes in the UV difference spectra were exploited to assess directly the thermodynamics and kinetics of ligand interactions in wild-type TauD and selected variants. This approach holds promise as a new tool to probe ligand-induced conformational changes in a wide range of other proteins. Experimental and quantification approaches for a reliable analysis of protein absorption below 320 nm are presented.

Abstract
We present here a computational study of reactions at a model complex of the SyrB2 enzyme active site. SyrB2, which chlorinates L-threonine in the syringomycin biosynthetic pathway, belongs to a recently discovered class of alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG), non-heme Fe(II)-dependent halogenases that share many structural and chemical similarities with hydroxylases. Namely, halogenases and hydroxylases alike decarboxylate the alphaKG co-substrate, facilitating formation of a high-energy ferryl-oxo intermediate that abstracts a hydrogen from the reactant complex. The reaction mechanisms differ at this point, and mutation of active site residues (Asp for the hydroxylase to Ala or Ala to Asp/Glu for halogenase) fails to reproduce hydroxylating activity in SyrB2 or halogenating activity in similar hydroxylases. Using a density functional theory approach with a recently implemented Hubbard U correction for accurate treatment of transition-metal chemistry, we explore probable reaction pathways and mechanisms via a model complex consisting of only the iron center and its direct ligands. We show that the first step, alphaKG decarboxylation, is barrierless and exothermic, but the subsequent hydrogen abstraction step has an energetic barrier consistent with that accessible under biological conditions. In the model complex we use, radical chlorination is barrierless and exothermic, whereas the analogous hydroxylation is found to have a small energetic barrier. The hydrogen abstraction and radical chlorination steps are strongly coupled: the barrier for the hydrogen abstraction step is reduced when carried out concomitantly with the exothermic chlorination step. Our work suggests that the lack of chlorination in mutant hydroxylases is most likely due to poor binding of chlorine in the active site, whereas mutant halogenases do not hydroxylate for energetic reasons. Although secondary shell residues undoubtedly modulate the overall reactivity and binding of relevant substrates, we show that a small model compound consisting exclusively of the direct ligands to the metal can help explain reactivity heretofore not yet understood in the halogenase SyrB2.

Abstract
beta-diketone-cleaving enzyme Dke1 is a homotetrameric Fe2+-dependent dioxygenase from Acinetobacter johnsonii. The Dke1protomer adopts a single-domain beta-barrel fold characteristic of the cupin superfamily of proteins and features a mononuclear non-haem Fe2+ centre where a triad of histidine residues, His-62, His-64 and His-104, co-ordinate the catalytic metal. To provide structure-function relationships for the peculiar metal site of Dke1 in relation to the more widespread 2-His-1-Glu/Asp binding site for non-haem Fe2+,we replaced each histidine residue individually with glutamate and asparagine and compared binding of Fe2+ and four non-native catalytically inactive metals with purified apo-forms of wild-type and mutant enzymes. Results from anaerobic equilibrium microdialysis (Fe2+) and fluorescence titration (Fe2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+) experiments revealed the presence of two broadly specific metal-binding sites in native Dke1 that bind Fe2+ with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 5 microM (site I) and approximately 0.3 mM (site II). Each mutation, except for the substitution of asparagine for His-104, disrupted binding of Fe2+, but not that of the other bivalent metal ions, at site I,while leaving metal binding at site II largely unaffected. Dke1 mutants harbouring glutamate substitutions were completely inactive and not functionally complemented by external Fe2+.The Fe2+ catalytic centre activity (kcat) of mutants with asparagine substitution of His-62 and His-104 was decreased 140- and 220-fold respectively, compared with the kcat value of 8.5 s(-1) for the wild-type enzyme in the reaction with pentane-2,4-dione.The H64N mutant was not catalytically competent, except in the presence of external Fe2+ (1 mM) which elicited about 1/1000 of wild-type activity. Therefore co-ordination of Fe2+ by Dke1 requires an uncharged metallocentre, and three histidine ligands are needed for the assembly of a fully functional catalytic site. Oxidative inactivation of Dke1 was shown to involve conversion of enzyme-bound Fe2+ into Fe3+, which is then released from the metal centre.

Abstract
Fe(II)/alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases uniformly possess a double-stranded beta-helix fold with two conserved histidines and one carboxylate coordinating their mononuclear ferrous ions. Oxidative decomposition of the alpha-keto acid is proposed to generate a ferryl-oxo intermediate capable of hydroxylating unactivated carbon atoms in a myriad of substrates. This Perspective focuses on a subgroup of these enzymes that are involved in pyrimidine salvage, purine decomposition, nucleoside and nucleotide hydroxylation, DNA/RNA repair, and chromatin modification. The varied reaction schemes are presented, and selected structural and kinetic information is summarized.

Abstract
Reaction of the sterically hindered alpha-ketocarboxylate 2,6-di(mesityl)benzoylformate (MesBF) with the iron(II) complexes LFeCl 2 [L = N, N, N', N'-tetramethylpropylenediamine (Me 4pda) or 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmby)] yielded LFe(Cl)(MesBF) ( 1 or 2). X-ray crystal structures of these complexes showed that they closely model the active site structure of the nonheme iron halogenase enzyme SyrB2. A similar synthetic procedure using benzoylformate with L = dmby yielded (dmby)Fe[(O 2CC(O)Ph)] 2 ( 3) instead, demonstrating the need for the sterically hindered alpha-ketocarboxylate to assemble the halogenase model compounds. In order to make reactivity comparisons among the structurally related iron(II) complexes of benzoylformates of varying steric properties, the complexes [LFe(O 2CC(O)Ar)] n ( 4- 6) were prepared, where L' = tris(pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa) and Ar = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl, 2,6-di p-tolylphenyl, or 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, respectively. X-ray structures for the latter two cases ( 5 and 6) revealed dinuclear topologies ( n = 2), but UV-vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopy indicated that all three complexes dissociated in varying degrees to monomers in CH 2Cl 2 solution. Although compounds 1- 6 were oxidized by O 2, oxidative decarboxylation of the alpha-ketocarboxylate ligand(s) only occurred for 3. These results indicate that the steric hindrance useful for structural modeling of the halogenase active site prohibits functional mimicry of the enzyme.

Abstract
Xanthine/alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) dioxygenase (XanA) is a non-heme mononuclear Fe(II) enzyme that decarboxylates alphaKG to succinate and CO(2) while hydroxylating xanthine to generate uric acid. In the absence of a XanA crystal structure, a homology model was used to target several putative active site residues for mutagenesis. Wild-type XanA and ten enzyme variants were purified from recombinant Escherichia coli cells and characterized. The H149A and D151A variants were inactive and the H340A variant exhibited only 0.17% of the wild-type enzyme activity, consistent with the proposed role of His149, Asp151, and His340 as Fe ligands. The K122A variant led to a 2-fold increase in the K(d) of alphaKG as measured by fluorescence quenching analysis, in agreement with Lys122 acting to stabilize the binding of alphaKG. The N358A variant exhibited a 23-fold decrease in k(cat)/K(m) compared to wild-type XanA, pointing to a key role of Asn358 in catalysis. 9-Methylxanthine was exploited as an alternate substrate, and the C357A, E137A, and D138A variants were found to exhibit relatively enhanced activity consistent with Cys357, Glu137, and Asp138 being proximal to N-9 or involved in its proper positioning. 6,8-Dihydroxypurine was identified as a slow-binding competitive inhibitor of XanA, and significant decreases (E137A and D138A) or increases (Q356A and N358A) in K(i)(app) of the variants were interpreted in terms of distinct interactions between this compound and the corresponding active site side chains. Further support for Cys357 residing at the active site was obtained using thiol-specific reagents that inactivated wild-type enzyme (with partial protection by substrate), whereas the C357A variant was resistant to these reagents. The Q101A, Q356A, and C357A variants showed elevated ferroxidase activity in the absence of substrates, pointing to the presence of the corresponding side chains at the active site. These results confirm most aspects of the homology model and provide additional insight into the enzyme reactivity.

Abstract
The interaction of CrII with taurine/alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) dioxygenase (TauD) was examined. CrII replaces FeII and binds stoichiometrically with alphaKG to the FeII/alphaKG binding site of the protein, with additional CrII used to generate a chromophore attributed to a CrIII-semiquinone in a small percentage of the sample. Formation of the latter oxygen-sensitive species requires the dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) quinone form of Tyr-73. This preformed side chain is generated by intracellular self-hydroxylation of Tyr-73 to form DOPA, which is subsequently oxidized to the quinone. No chromophore is generated when using NaBH4-treated sample, protein isolated from anaerobically grown cells, inactive TauD variants that are incapable of self-hydroxylation, or the Y73F active mutant of TauD. A CrIII-DOPA semiquinone also was observed in the herbicide hydroxylase SdpA.
