Panda S, Phan H, Karlin KD. Heme-copper and Heme O 2-derived synthetic (bioinorganic) chemistry toward an understanding of cytochrome c oxidase dioxygen chemistry. J Inorg Biochem 2023; 249:112367. [PMID: 37742491 PMCID: PMC10615892 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2023.112367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), also widely known as mitochondrial electron-transport-chain complex IV, is a multi-subunit transmembrane protein responsible for catalyzing the last step of the electron transport chain, dioxygen reduction to water, which is essential to the establishment and maintenance of the membrane proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Although many intermediates in the CcO catalytic cycle have been spectroscopically and/or computationally authenticated, the specifics regarding the IP intermediate, hypothesized to be a heme-Cu (hydro)peroxo species whose O-O bond homolysis is supported by a hydrogen-bonding network of water molecules, are largely obscured by the fast kinetics of the A (FeIII-O2•-/CuI/Tyr) → PM (FeIV=O/CuII-OH/Tyr•) step. In this review, we have focused on the recent advancements in the design, development, and characterization of synthetic heme-peroxo‑copper model complexes, which can circumvent the abovementioned limitation, for the investigation of the formation of IP and its O-O cleavage chemistry. Novel findings regarding (a) proton and electron transfer (PT/ET) processes, together with their contributions to exogenous phenol induced O-O cleavage, (b) the stereo-electronic tunability of the secondary coordination sphere (especially hydrogen-bonding) on the geometric and spin state alteration of the heme-peroxo‑copper unit, and (c) a plausible mechanism for the Tyr-His cofactor biogenesis, are discussed in great detail. Additionally, since the ferric-superoxide and the ferryl-oxo (Compound II) species are critically involved in the CcO catalytic cycle, this review also highlights a few fundamental aspects of these heme-only (i.e., without copper) species, including the structural and reactivity influences of electron-donating trans-axial ligands and Lewis acid-promoted H-bonding.

Abstract
While native CO2 -reducing enzymes display remarkable catalytic efficiency and product selectivity, few artificial biocatalysts have been engineered to allow understanding how the native enzymes work. To address this issue, we report cobalt porphyrin substituted myoglobin (CoMb) as a homogeneous catalyst for photo-driven CO2 to CO conversion in water. The activity and product selectivity were optimized by varying pH and concentrations of the enzyme and the photosensitizer. Up to 2000 TON(CO) was attained at low enzyme concentrations with low product selectivity (15 %), while a product selectivity of 74 % was reached by increasing the enzyme loading but with a compromised TON(CO). The efficiency of CO generation and overall TON(CO) were further improved by introducing positively charged residues (Lys or Arg) near the active stie of CoMb, which demonstrates the value of tuning the enzyme secondary coordination sphere to enhance the CO2 -reducing performance of a protein-based photocatalytic system.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes catalyze a variety of reactions using a limited number of natural amino acids and metallocofactors. Therefore, the environment beyond the primary coordination sphere must play an important role in both conferring and tuning their phenomenal catalytic properties, enabling active sites with otherwise similar primary coordination environments to perform a diverse array of biological functions. However, since the interactions beyond the primary coordination sphere are numerous and weak, it has been difficult to pinpoint structural features responsible for the tuning of activities of native enzymes. Designing artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers an excellent basis to elucidate the roles of these interactions and to further develop practical biological catalysts. In this review, we highlight how the secondary coordination spheres of ArMs influence metal binding and catalysis, with particular focus on the use of native protein scaffolds as templates for the design of ArMs by either rational design aided by computational modeling, directed evolution, or a combination of both approaches. In describing successes in designing heme, nonheme Fe, and Cu metalloenzymes, heteronuclear metalloenzymes containing heme, and those ArMs containing other metal centers (including those with non-native metal ions and metallocofactors), we have summarized insights gained on how careful controls of the interactions in the secondary coordination sphere, including hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions, allow the generation and tuning of these respective systems to approach, rival, and, in a few cases, exceed those of native enzymes. We have also provided an outlook on the remaining challenges in the field and future directions that will allow for a deeper understanding of the secondary coordination sphere a deeper understanding of the secondary coordintion sphere to be gained, and in turn to guide the design of a broader and more efficient variety of ArMs.

Abstract
Artemisinin (ARS) and its semi-synthetic derivatives are effective drugs to treat malaria and possess multiple therapeutic activities based on their endoperoxide bridge. Here, we showed that ARS displayed antibacterial efficacy in Drosophila systemic infections caused by bacterial pathogens but killed only Vibrio cholerae (VC) in vitro, involving reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and/or DNA damage. This selective antibacterial activity of ARS was attributed to the higher intracellular copper levels in VC, in that the antibacterial activity was observed in vitro upon addition of cuprous ions even against other bacteria and was compromised by the copper-specific chelators neocuproine (NC) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) in vitro and in vivo. We suggest that copper can enhance or reinforce the therapeutic activities of ARS to be repurposed as an antibacterial drug for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Antonini and Brunori's 1971 book "Hemoglobin and Myoglobin in Their Reactions with Ligands" was a truly remarkable publication that summarized almost 100 years of research on O2 binding to these globins. Over the ensuing 50 years, ultra-fast laser photolysis techniques, high-resolution and time resolved X-ray crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, and libraries of recombinant myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb) variants have provided structural interpretations of O2 binding to these proteins. The resultant mechanisms provide quantitative descriptions of the stereochemical factors that govern overall affinity, including proximal and distal steric restrictions that affect iron reactivity and favorable positive electrostatic interactions that preferentially stabilize bound O2. The pathway for O2 uptake and release by Mb and subunits of Hb has been mapped by screening libraries of site-directed mutants in laser photolysis experiments. O2 enters mammalian Mb and the α and β subunits of human HbA through a channel created by upward and outward rotation of the distal His at the E7 helical position, is non-covalently captured in the interior of the distal cavity, and then internally forms a bond with the heme Fe(II) atom. O2 dissociation is governed by disruption of hydrogen bonding interactions with His (E7), breakage of the Fe(II)-O2 bond, and then competition between rebinding and escape through the E7-gate. The structural features that govern the rates of both the individual steps and overall reactions have been determined and provide the framework for: (1) defining the physiological functions of specific globins and their evolution; (2) understanding the clinical features of hemoglobinopathies; and (3) designing safer and more efficient acellular hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) for transfusion therapy, organ preservation, and other commercially relevant O2 transport and storage processes.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCO), nitric oxide reductases (NOR), and sulfite reductases (SiR) catalyze the multi-electron and multi-proton reductions of O2, NO, and SO32-, respectively. Each of these reactions is important to drive cellular energy production through respiratory metabolism and HCO, NOR, and SiR evolved to contain heteronuclear active sites containing heme/copper, heme/nonheme iron, and heme-[4Fe-4S] centers, respectively. The complexity of the structures and reactions of these native enzymes, along with their large sizes and/or membrane associations, make it challenging to fully understand the crucial structural features responsible for the catalytic properties of these active sites. In this review, we summarize progress that has been made to better understand these heteronuclear metalloenzymes at the molecular level though study of the native enzymes along with insights gained from biomimetic models comprising either small molecules or proteins. Further understanding the reaction selectivity of these enzymes is discussed through comparisons of their similar heteronuclear active sites, and we offer outlook for further investigations.

Abstract
The metallobiochemistry underlying the formation of the inorganic N-N-bond-containing molecules nitrous oxide (N2O), dinitrogen (N2), and hydrazine (N2H4) is essential to the lifestyles of diverse organisms. Similar reactions hold promise as means to use N-based fuels as alternative carbon-free energy sources. This review discusses research efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying biological N-N bond formation in primary metabolism and how the associated reactions are tied to energy transduction and organismal survival. These efforts comprise studies of both natural and engineered metalloenzymes as well as synthetic model complexes.

Abstract
Oxygen affinity is an important property of metalloproteins that helps elucidate their reactivity profile and mechanism. Heretofore, oxygen affinity values were determined either using flash photolysis and polarography techniques that require expensive instrumentation, or using oxygen titration methods which are erroneous at low nanomolar and at high millimolar oxygen concentrations. Here, we describe an inexpensive, easy-to-setup, and a one-pot method for oxygen affinity measurements that uses the enzyme chlorite dismutase (Cld) as a precise in situ oxygen source. Using this method, we measure thermodynamic and kinetic oxygen affinities (Kd and KM) of different classes of heme and non-heme metalloproteins involved in oxygen transport, sensing, and catalysis. The method enables oxygen affinity measurements over a wide concentration range from 10 nM to 5 mM which is unattainable by simply diluting oxygen-saturated buffers. In turn, we were able to precisely measure oxygen affinities of a model set of eight different metalloproteins with affinities ranging from 48 ± 3 nM to 1.18 ± 0.03 mM. Overall, the Cld method is easy and inexpensive to set up, requires significantly lower quantities of protein, enables precise oxygen affinity measurements, and is applicable for proteins exhibiting nanomolar-to-millimolar affinity values.

Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyzes the reduction of dioxygen to water utilizing a heterobinuclear active site composed of a heme moiety and a mononuclear copper center coordinated to three histidine residues, one of which is covalently cross-linked to a tyrosine residue via a post-translational modification (PTM). Although this tyrosine-histidine moiety has functional and structural importance, the pathway behind this net oxidative C-N bond coupling is still unknown. A novel route employing an iron(III) meso-substituted isoporphyrin derivative, isoelectronic with Cmpd-I ((Por•+)FeIV═O), is for the first time proposed to be a key intermediate in the Tyr-His cofactor biogenesis. Newly synthesized iron(III) meso-substituted isoporphyrins were prepared with azide, cyanide, and substituted imidazole functionalities, by adding nucleophiles to an iron(III) π-dication species formed via addition of trifluoroacetic acid to F8Cmpd-I (F8 = (tetrakis(2,6-difluorophenyl)porphyrinate)). Isoporphyrin derivatives were characterized at cryogenic temperatures via ESI-MS and UV-vis, 2H NMR, and EPR spectroscopies. Addition of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene or 4-methoxyphenol to the imidazole-substituted isoporphyrin led to formation of the organic product containing the imidazole coupled to aromatic substrate via a new C-N bond, as detected via cryo-ESI-MS. Experimental evidence for the formation of an imidazole-substituted isoporphyrin and its promising reactivity to form the imidazole-phenol coupled product yields viability to the herein proposed pathway behind the PTM (i.e., biogenesis) leading to the key covalent Tyr-His cross-link in CcO.

Abstract
Despite the availability of a vast variety of metal ions in the periodic table, biology uses only a selective few metal ions. Most of the redox active metals used belong to the first row of transition metals in the periodic table and include Fe, Co, Ni, Mn and Cu. On the other hand, Ca, Zn and Mg are the most commonly used redox inactive metals in biology. In this chapter, we discuss the periodic table's impact on bio-inorganic chemistry, by exploring reasons behind this selective choice of metals biology. A special focus is placed on the chemical and functional reasons why one metal ion is preferred over another one. We discuss the implications of metal choice in various biological processes including catalysis, electron transfer, redox sensing and signaling. We find that bioavailability of metal ions along with their redox potentials, coordination flexibility, valency and ligand affinity determine the specificity of metals for biological processes. Understanding the implications underlying the selective choice of metals of the periodic table in these biological processes can help design more efficient catalysts, more precise biosensors and more effective drugs.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCOs) are terminal enzymes on the mitochondrial or bacterial respiratory electron transport chain, which utilize a unique heterobinuclear active site to catalyze the 4H+/4e- reduction of dioxygen to water. This process involves a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a tyrosine (phenolic) residue and additional redox events coupled to transmembrane proton pumping and ATP synthesis. Given that HCOs are large, complex, membrane-bound enzymes, bioinspired synthetic model chemistry is a promising approach to better understand heme-Cu-mediated dioxygen reduction, including the details of proton and electron movements. This review encompasses important aspects of heme-O2 and copper-O2 (bio)chemistries as they relate to the design and interpretation of small molecule model systems and provides perspectives from fundamental coordination chemistry, which can be applied to the understanding of HCO activity. We focus on recent advancements from studies of heme-Cu models, evaluating experimental and computational results, which highlight important fundamental structure-function relationships. Finally, we provide an outlook for future potential contributions from synthetic inorganic chemistry and discuss their implications with relevance to biological O2-reduction.

While there are numerous examples of low-spin heme iron-nitrosyl complexes in different oxidation states, much less is known about high-spin (hs) non-heme iron-nitrosyls in oxidation states other than the formally ferrous NO adducts ({FeNO}7 in the Enemark-Feltham notation). In this study, we present a complete series of hs-{FeNO}6-8 complexes using the TMG3tren coligand. Redox transformations from the hs-{FeNO}7 complex [Fe(TMG3tren)(NO)]2+ to its {FeNO}6 and {FeNO}8 analogs do not alter the coordination environment of the iron center, allowing for detailed comparisons between these species. Here, we present new MCD, NRVS, XANES/EXAFS, and Mössbauer data, demonstrating that these redox transformations are metal based, which allows us to access hs-Fe(II)-NO-, Fe(III)-NO-, and Fe(IV)-NO- complexes. Vibrational data, analyzed by NCA, directly quantify changes in Fe-NO bonding along this series. Optical data allow for the identification of a "spectator" charge-transfer transition that, together with Mössbauer and XAS data, directly monitors the electronic changes of the Fe center. Using EXAFS, we are also able to provide structural data for all complexes. The magnetic properties of the complexes are further analyzed (from magnetic Mössbauer). The properties of our hs-{FeNO}6-8 complexes are then contrasted to corresponding, low-spin iron-nitrosyl complexes where redox transformations are generally NO centered. The hs-{FeNO}8 complex can further be protonated by weak acids, and the product of this reaction is characterized. Taken together, these results provide unprecedented insight into the properties of biologically relevant non-heme iron-nitrosyl complexes in three relevant oxidation states.

Abstract
A copper complex, [CuI(tmpa)(MeCN)]+, effectively reductively couples NO(g) at RT in methanol (MeOH), giving a structurally characterized hyponitrito-dicopper(II) adduct. Hydrogen-bonding from MeOH is critical for the hyponitrite complex formation and stabilization. This complex exhibits the reverse redox process in aprotic solvents, giving CuI + NO(g), leading to CuI-mediated NO(g)-disproportionation. The relationship of this chemistry to biological iron and/or copper mediated NO(g) reductive coupling to give N2O(g) is discussed.

Abstract
The presence of a nonheme metal, such as copper and iron, in the heme-copper oxidase (HCO) superfamily is critical to the enzymatic activity of reducing O2 to H2O, but the exact mechanism the nonheme metal ion uses to confer and fine-tune the activity remains to be understood. We herein report that manganese and cobalt can bind to the same nonheme site and confer HCO activity in a heme-nonheme biosynthetic model in myoglobin. While the initial rates of O2 reduction by the Mn, Fe, and Co derivatives are similar, the percentages of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation are 7%, 4%, and 1% and the total turnovers are 5.1 ± 1.1, 13.4 ± 0.7, and 82.5 ± 2.5, respectively. These results correlate with the trends of nonheme-metal-binding dissociation constants (35, 22, and 9 μM) closely, suggesting that tighter metal binding can prevent ROS release from the active site, lessen damage to the protein, and produce higher total turnover numbers. Detailed spectroscopic, electrochemical, and computational studies found no evidence of redox cycling of manganese or cobalt in the enzymatic reactions and suggest that structural and electronic effects related to the presence of different nonheme metals lead to the observed differences in reactivity. This study of the roles of nonheme metal ions beyond the Cu and Fe found in native enzymes has provided deeper insights into nature's choice of metal ion and reaction mechanism and allows for finer control of the enzymatic activity, which is a basis for the design of efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidase (HCO) is a class of respiratory enzymes that use a heme-copper center to catalyze O2 reduction to H2 O. While heme reduction potential (E°') of different HCO types has been found to vary >500 mV, its impact on HCO activity remains poorly understood. Here, we use a set of myoglobin-based functional HCO models to investigate the mechanism by which heme E°' modulates oxidase activity. Rapid stopped-flow kinetic measurements show that increasing heme E°' by ca. 210 mV results in increases in electron transfer (ET) rates by 30-fold, rate of O2 binding by 12-fold, O2 dissociation by 35-fold, while decreasing O2 affinity by 3-fold. Theoretical calculations reveal that E°' modulation has significant implications on electronic charge of both heme iron and O2 , resulting in increased O2 dissociation and reduced O2 affinity at high E°' values. Overall, this work suggests that fine-tuning E°' in HCOs and other heme enzymes can modulate their substrate affinity, ET rate and enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Nature uses dioxygen as a key oxidant in the transformation of biomolecules. Among the enzymes that are utilized for these reactions are copper-containing metalloenzymes, which are responsible for important biological functions such as the regulation of neurotransmitters, dioxygen transport, and cellular respiration. Enzymatic and model system studies work in tandem in order to gain an understanding of the fundamental reductive activation of dioxygen by copper complexes. This review covers the most recent advancements in the structures, spectroscopy, and reaction mechanisms for dioxygen-activating copper proteins and relevant synthetic models thereof. An emphasis has also been placed on cofactor biogenesis, a fundamentally important process whereby biomolecules are post-translationally modified by the pro-enzyme active site to generate cofactors which are essential for the catalytic enzymatic reaction. Significant questions remaining in copper-ion-mediated O2-activation in copper proteins are addressed.

Abstract
The 4H+/4e- reduction of O2 to water, a key fuel-cell reaction also carried out in biology by oxidase enzymes, includes the critical O-O bond reductive cleavage step. Mechanistic investigations on active-site model compounds, which are synthesized by rational design to incorporate systematic variations, can focus on and resolve answers to fundamental questions, including protonation and/or H-bonding aspects, which accompany electron transfer. Here, we describe the nature and comparative reactivity of two low-spin heme-peroxo-Cu complexes, LS-4DCHIm, [(DCHIm)F8FeIII-(O22-)-CuII(DCHIm)4]+, and LS-3DCHIm, [(DCHIm)F8FeIII-(O22-)-CuII(DCHIm)3]+ (F8 = tetrakis(2,6-difluorophenyl)-porphyrinate; DCHIm = 1,5-dicyclohexylimidazole), toward different proton (4-nitrophenol and [DMF·H+](CF3SO3-)) (DMF = dimethyl-formamide) or electron (decamethylferrocene (Fc*)) sources. Spectroscopic reactivity studies show that differences in structure and electronic properties of LS-3DCHIm and LS-4DCHIm lead to significant differences in behavior. LS-3DCHIm is resistant to reduction, is unreactive toward weakly acidic 4-NO2-phenol, and stronger acids cleave the metal-O bonds, releasing H2O2. By contrast, LS-4DCHIm forms an adduct with 4-NO2-phenol, which includes an H-bond to the peroxo O-atom distal to Fe (resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy and DFT). With addition of Fc* (2 equiv overall required), O-O reductive cleavage occurs, giving water, Fe(III), and Cu(II) products; however, a kinetic study reveals a one-electron rate-determining process, ket = 1.6 M-1 s-1 (-90 °C). The intermediacy of a high-valent [(DCHIm)F8FeIV═O] species is thus implied, and separate experiments show that one-electron reduction-protonation of [(DCHIm)F8FeIV═O] occurs faster (ket2 = 5.0 M-1 s-1), consistent with the overall postulated mechanism. The importance of the H-bonding interaction as a prerequisite for reductive cleavage is highlighted.
