Abstract
Here, the choice of the first coordination shell of the metal center is analyzed from the perspective of charge maintenance in a binary enzyme-substrate complex and an O2-bound ternary complex in the nonheme iron oxygenases. Comparing homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase and gentisate dioxygenase highlights the significance of charge maintenance after substrate binding as an important factor that drives the reaction coordinate. We then extend the charge analysis to several common types of nonheme iron oxygenases containing either a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad or a 3-His or 4-His ligand motif, including extradiol and intradiol ring-cleavage dioxygenases, thiol dioxygenases, α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenases, and carotenoid cleavage oxygenases. After forming the productive enzyme-substrate complex, the overall charge of the iron complex at the 0, +1, or +2 state is maintained in the remaining catalytic steps. Hence, maintaining a constant charge is crucial to promote the reaction of the iron center beginning from the formation of the Michaelis or ternary complex. The charge compensation to the iron ion is tuned not only by protein-derived carboxylate ligands but also by substrates. Overall, these analyses indicate that charge maintenance at the iron center is significant when all the necessary components form a productive complex. This charge maintenance concept may apply to most oxygen-activating metalloenzymes systems that do not draw electrons and protons step-by-step from a separate reactant, such as NADH, via a reductase. The charge maintenance perception may also be useful in proposing catalytic pathways or designing prototypical reactions using artificial or engineered enzymes for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Biodegradation of terephthalate (TPA) is a highly desired catabolic process for the bacterial utilization of this Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) depolymerization product, but to date, the structure of terephthalate dioxygenase (TPDO), a Rieske oxygenase (RO) that catalyzes the dihydroxylation of TPA to a cis-diol is unavailable. In this study, we characterized the steady-state kinetics and first crystal structure of TPDO from Comamonas testosteroni KF1 (TPDOKF1). The TPDOKF1 exhibited the substrate specificity for TPA (kcat/Km = 57 ± 9 mM-1s-1). The TPDOKF1 structure harbors characteristics RO features as well as a unique catalytic domain that rationalizes the enzyme's function. The docking and mutagenesis studies reveal that its substrate specificity to TPA is mediated by Arg309 and Arg390 residues, two residues positioned on opposite faces of the active site. Additionally, residue Gln300 is also proven to be crucial for the activity, its substitution to alanine decreases the activity (kcat) by 80%. Together, this study delineates the structural features that dictate the substrate recognition and specificity of TPDO. Importance The global plastic pollution has become the most pressing environmental issue. Recent studies on enzymes depolymerizing polyethylene terephthalate plastic into terephthalate (TPA) show some potential in tackling this. Microbial utilization of this released product, TPA is an emerging and promising strategy for waste-to-value creation. Research from the last decade has discovered terephthalate dioxygenase (TPDO), as being responsible for initiating the enzymatic degradation of TPA in a few Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of TPDO from Comamonas testosteroni KF1 and revealed that it possesses a unique catalytic domain featuring two basic residues in the active site to recognize TPA. Biochemical and mutagenesis studies demonstrated the crucial residues responsible for the substrate specificity of this enzyme.

Shape-function of a novel metapyrocatechase, RW4-MPC: Metagenomics to SAXS data based insight into deciphering regulators of function. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 188:1012-1024.

Abstract
The oxygenases have attracted considerable attention in enzyme-mediated bioremediation of xenobiotic compounds due to their high specificity, cost-effectiveness, and targeted field applications. Here, we performed a functional metagenomics approach to cope with cultivability limitations to isolate a novel extradiol dioxygenase. Fosmid clone harboring dioxygenase gene was sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatics tools. One ring-cleaving dioxygenase RW4-MPC (metapyrocatechase) was purified and characterized to examine its degradation efficiency. The RW4-MPC was significantly active in the temperature and pH range of 5 to 40 °C, and 7-10, respectively, with an optimum temperature of 25 °C and pH 8. To gain insight into observed differential activity, Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) data of the protein samples were analyzed, which brought forth that the RW4-MPC molecules form tight globular tetramers in solution. This native association was stable till 35 °C, and protein started to associate at higher temperatures, explaining heat-induced loss of function. Similarly, RW4-MPC aggregated or lost globular profile below pH 7 or at pH 10, respectively. The kinetic parameters showed the six folds high catalytic efficiency of RW4-MPC towards 2,3-dihydroxy biphenyl than catechol and its derivatives. RW4-MPC molecules showed remarkable retention of functionality in hypersaline conditions with more than 70% activity in a buffer having 3 M NaCl concentration. In concordance, SAXS data analysis showed retention of functional shape profile in hypersaline conditions. The halotolerant and oxygen insensitive nature of this enzyme makes it a potential candidate for bioremediation.

Abstract
This study aims to clarify the interaction mechanism of substrate with catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) through multi-technique combination. A novel C23O (named C23O-2G) was cloned, heterogeneously expressed, and identified as a new member in subfamily I.2 of extradiol dioxygenases. Based on the simulations of molecular docking and dynamics, the exact binding sites of catechol on C23O-2G were identified, and the catalytic mechanism mediated by key residues was proposed. The roles of the predicted residues during catalysis were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis, and the mutation of Thr254 could significantly increase catalytic efficiency and substrate specificity of C23O-2G. The binding and thermodynamic parameters obtained from fluorescence spectra suggested that catechol could effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of C23O-2G via static and dynamic quenching mechanisms and spontaneously formed C23O-2G/catechol complex by the binding forces of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force. The results of UV-vis spectra, synchronous fluorescence, and CD spectra revealed obvious changes in the microenvironment and conformation of C23O-2G, especially for the secondary structure. The atomic force microscope images further demonstrated the changes from an appearance point of view. This study could improve our mechanistic understanding of representative dioxygenases involved in aromatic compound degradation.

Abstract
The release of synthetic chemical pollutants in the environment is posing serious health risks. Enzymes, including oxygenases, play a crucial role in xenobiotic degradation. In the present study, we employed a functional metagenomics approach to overcome the limitation of cultivability of microbes under standard laboratory conditions in order to isolate novel dioxygenases capable of degrading recalcitrant pollutants. Fosmid clones possessing dioxygenase activity were further sequenced, and their genes were identified using bioinformatics tools. Two positive fosmid clones, SD3 and RW1, suggested the presence of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (BphC-SD3) and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O-RW1), respectively. Recombinant versions of these enzymes were purified to examine their pollutant-degrading abilities. The crystal structure of BphC-SD3 was determined at 2.6-Å resolution, revealing a two-domain architecture, i.e., N-terminal and C-terminal domains, with the sequential arrangement of βαβββ in each domain, characteristic of Fe-dependent class II type I extradiol dioxygenases. The structure also reveals the presence of conserved amino acids lining the catalytic pocket and Fe3+ metal ion in the large funnel-shaped active site in the C-terminal domain. Further studies suggest that Fe3+ bound in the BphC-SD3 active site probably imparts aerobic stability. We further demonstrate the potential application of BphC-SD3 in biosensing of catecholic compounds. The halotolerant and oxygen-resistant properties of these enzymes reported in this study make them potential candidates for bioremediation and biosensing applications.IMPORTANCE The disposal and degradation of xenobiotic compounds have been serious issues due to their recalcitrant properties. Microbial oxygenases are the fundamental enzymes involved in biodegradation that oxidize the substrate by transferring oxygen from molecular oxygen. Among oxygenases, catechol dioxygenases are more versatile in biodegradation and are well studied among the bacterial world. The use of catechol dioxygenases in the field is currently not practical due to their aerobically unstable nature. The significance of our research lies in the discovery of aerobically stable and halotolerant catechol dioxygenases that are efficient in degrading the targeted environmental pollutants and, hence, could be used as cost-effective alternatives for the treatment of hypersaline industrial effluents. Moreover, the structural determination of novel catechol dioxygenases would greatly enhance our knowledge of the function of these enzymes and facilitate directed evolution to further enhance or engineer desired properties.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein Rv0577 is a prominent antigen in tuberculosis patients, the component responsible for neutral red staining of virulent strains of M. tuberculosis, a putative component in a methylglyoxal detoxification pathway, and an agonist of toll-like receptor 2. It also has an amino acid sequence that is 36% identical to that of Streptomyces coelicolor AfsK-binding protein A (KbpA), a component in the complex secondary metabolite pathways in the Streptomyces genus. To gain insight into the biological function of Rv0577 and the family of KpbA kinase regulators, the crystal structure for Rv0577 was determined to a resolution of 1.75 Å, binding properties with neutral red and deoxyadenosine were surveyed, backbone dynamics were measured, and thermal stability was assayed by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The protein is composed of four approximate repeats with a βαβββ topology arranged radially in consecutive pairs to form two continuous eight-strand β-sheets capped on both ends with an α-helix. The two β-sheets intersect in the center at roughly a right angle and form two asymmetric deep "saddles" that may serve to bind ligands. Nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift perturbation experiments show that neutral red and deoxyadenosine bind to Rv0577. Binding to deoxyadenosine is weaker with an estimated dissociation constants of 4.1 ± 0.3 mM for saddle 1. Heteronuclear steady-state {1H}-15N nuclear Overhauser effect, T1, and T2 values were generally uniform throughout the sequence with only a few modest pockets of differences. Circular dichroism spectroscopy characterization of the thermal stability of Rv0577 indicated irreversible unfolding upon heating with an estimated melting temperature of 56 °C.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen is utilized in numerous metabolic pathways fundamental for life. Mononuclear nonheme iron-dependent oxygenase enzymes are well known for their involvement in some of these pathways, activating O2 so that oxygen atoms can be incorporated into their primary substrates. These reactions often initiate pathways that allow organisms to use stable organic molecules as sources of carbon and energy for growth. From the myriad of reactions in which these enzymes are involved, this perspective recounts the general mechanisms of aromatic dihydroxylation and oxidative ring cleavage, both of which are ubiquitous chemical reactions found in life-sustaining processes. The organic substrate provides all four electrons required for oxygen activation and insertion in the reactions mediated by extradiol and intradiol ring-cleaving catechol dioxygenases. In contrast, two of the electrons are provided by NADH in the cis-dihydroxylation mechanism of Rieske dioxygenases. The catalytic nonheme Fe center, with the aid of active site residues, facilitates these electron transfers to O2 as key elements of the activation processes. This review discusses some general questions for the catalytic strategies of oxygen activation and insertion into aromatic compounds employed by mononuclear nonheme iron-dependent dioxygenases. These include: (1) how oxygen is activated, (2) whether there are common intermediates before oxygen transfer to the aromatic substrate, and (3) are these key intermediates unique to mononuclear nonheme iron dioxygenases?

Abstract
The non-heme Fe enzymes are ubiquitous in nature and perform a wide range of functions involving O2 activation. These had been difficult to study relative to heme enzymes; however, spectroscopic methods that provide significant insight into the correlation of structure with function have now been developed. This Current Topics article summarizes both the molecular mechanism these enzymes use to control O2 activation in the presence of cosubstrates and the oxygen intermediates these reactions generate. Three types of O2 activation are observed. First, non-heme reactivity is shown to be different from heme chemistry where a low-spin FeIII-OOH non-heme intermediate directly reacts with substrate. Also, two subclasses of non-heme Fe enzymes generate high-spin FeIV═O intermediates that provide both σ and π frontier molecular orbitals that can control selectivity. Finally, for several subclasses of non-heme Fe enzymes, binding of the substrate to the FeII site leads to the one-electron reductive activation of O2 to an FeIII-superoxide capable of H atom abstraction and electrophilic attack.

Abstract
The extradiol, aromatic ring-cleaving enzyme homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (HPCD) catalyzes a complex chain of reactions that involve second sphere residues of the active site. The importance of the second-sphere residue His200 was demonstrated in studies of HPCD variants, such as His200Cys (H200C), which revealed significant retardations of certain steps in the catalytic process as a result of the substitution, allowing novel reaction cycle intermediates to be trapped for spectroscopic characterization. As the H200C variant largely retains the wild-type active site structure and produces the correct ring-cleaved product, this variant presents a valuable target for mechanistic HPCD studies. Here, the high-spin Fe(II) states of resting H200C and the H200C-homoprotocatechuate enzyme-substrate (ES) complex have been characterized with Mössbauer spectroscopy to assess the electronic structures of the active site in these states. The analysis reveals a high-spin Fe(II) center in a low symmetry environment that is reflected in the values of the zero-field splitting (ZFS) (D ≈ - 8 cm(-1), E/D ≈ 1/3 in ES), as well as the relative orientations of the principal axes of the (57)Fe magnetic hyperfine (A) and electric field gradient (EFG) tensors relative to the ZFS tensor axes. A spin Hamiltonian analysis of the spectra for the ES complex indicates that the magnetization axis of the integer-spin S = 2 Fe(II) system is nearly parallel to the symmetry axis, z, of the doubly occupied dxy ground orbital deduced from the EFG and A-values, an observation, which cannot be rationalized by DFT assisted crystal-field theory. In contrast, ORCA/CASSCF calculations for the ZFS tensor in combination with DFT calculations for the EFG- and A-tensors describe the experimental data remarkably well.

Abstract
The TK2203 protein from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1 (262 residues, 29 kDa) is a putative extradiol dioxygenase catalyzing the cleavage of C-C bonds in catechol derivatives. It contains three metal-binding residues, but has no significant sequence similarity to proteins for which structures have been determined. Here, the first crystal structure of the TK2203 protein was determined at 1.41 Å resolution to investigate its functional role. Structure analysis reveals that this protein shares the same fold and catalytic residues as other extradiol dioxygenases, strongly suggesting the same enzymatic activity. Furthermore, the important region contributing to substrate selectivity is discussed.

Abstract
2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (2,3-DBDO) is an extradiol-type dioxygenase that involved in third step of biphenyl degradation pathway. The nucleotide sequence of the bphC gene from Comamonas sp. SMN4, which encodes 2,3-DBDO with His-tag, was cloned into a plasmid pQE30 in E. coli. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the purified active 2,3-DBDO showed a single band around 33 kDa, corresponding the molecular mass of 2,3-DBDO subunit. Two fractions around 170 and 100 kDa were separated in gel filtration chromatography, but only former one (the fraction of 170 kDa) has 2,3-DBDO activity. The 2,3-DBDO was reported as the polymeric protein consisted of eight subunits. However, the fraction corresponding octameric protein of 2,3-DBDO was not found in the gel filtration chromatography. The 2,3-DBDO was exhibited the maximum activity at pH 9.0 and was stable at pH 8.0, relatively. The circular dichroism (CD) data showed that 2,3-DBDO had an α-helical folding structures at neutral pHs ranged from pH 4.5 to pH 9.0. However, this high stable folding structure was converted to unfolded structure in acidic region (pH 2.5) or in high pH (pH 12.0). The enzyme was thermally stable and active up to 40 °C. The conformational data by CD spectra were consistent with the stability of 2,3-DBDO by checking the activity. The binding affinity (Km ) for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl, 3-metylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol and catechol was 11.7, 24 μM, 50 mM and 625 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Type II extradiol dioxygenase, 2′-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (FlnD1D2) involved in the fluorene degradation pathway of Rhodococcus sp. DFA3 was purified to homogeneity from a heterologously expressing Escherichia coli. Gel filtration chromatography and SDS-PAGE suggested that FlnD1D2 is an α4β4 heterooctamer and that the molecular masses of these subunits are 30 and 9.9 kDa, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 8.0 and 30 °C, respectively. Assessment of metal ion effects suggested that exogenously supplied Fe2+ increases enzyme activity 3.2-fold. FlnD1D2 catalyzed meta-cleavage of 2′-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl homologous compounds, but not single-ring catecholic compounds. The Km and kcat/Km values of FlnD1D2 for 2,3-dihidroxybiphenyl were 97.2 μM and 1.5 × 10−2 μM−1sec−1, and for 2,2′,3-trihydroxybiphenyl, they were 168.0 μM and 0.5 × 10−2 μM−1sec−1, respectively. A phylogenetic tree of the large and small subunits of type II extradiol dioxygenases suggested that FlnD1D2 constitutes a novel subgroup among heterooligomeric type II extradiol dioxygenases.

Abstract
Kinetic and spectroscopic studies have shown that the conserved active site residue His200 of the extradiol ring-cleaving homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (FeHPCD) from Brevibacterium fuscum is critical for efficient catalysis. The roles played by this residue are probed here by analysis of the steady-state kinetics, pH dependence, and X-ray crystal structures of the FeHPCD position 200 variants His200Asn, His200Gln, and His200Glu alone and in complex with three catecholic substrates (homoprotocatechuate, 4-sulfonylcatechol, and 4-nitrocatechol) possessing substituents with different inductive capacity. Structures determined at 1.35-1.75 Å resolution show that there is essentially no change in overall active site architecture or substrate binding mode for these variants when compared to the structures of the wild-type enzyme and its analogous complexes. This shows that the maximal 50-fold decrease in kcat for ring cleavage, the dramatic changes in pH dependence, and the switch from ring cleavage to ring oxidation of 4-nitrocatechol by the FeHPCD variants can be attributed specifically to the properties of the altered second-sphere residue and the substrate. The results suggest that proton transfer is necessary for catalysis, and that it occurs most efficiently when the substrate provides the proton and His200 serves as a catalyst. However, in the absence of an available substrate proton, a defined proton-transfer pathway in the protein can be utilized. Changes in the steric bulk and charge of the residue at position 200 appear to be capable of altering the rate-limiting step in catalysis and, perhaps, the nature of the reactive species.

Abstract
DesB, which is derived from Sphingobium sp. SYK-6, is a type II extradiol dioxygenase that catalyzes a ring opening reaction of gallate. While typical extradiol dioxygenases show broad substrate specificity, DesB has strict substrate specificity for gallate. The substrate specificity of DesB seems to be required for the efficient growth of S. sp. SYK-6 using lignin-derived aromatic compounds. Since direct coordination of hydroxyl groups of the substrate to the non-heme iron in the active site is a critical step for the catalytic reaction of the extradiol dioxygenases, the mechanism of the substrate recognition and coordination of DesB was analyzed by biochemical and crystallographic methods. Our study demonstrated that the direct coordination between the non-heme iron and hydroxyl groups of the substrate requires a large shift of the Fe (II) ion in the active site. Mutational analysis revealed that His124 and His192 in the active site are essential to the catalytic reaction of DesB. His124, which interacts with OH (4) of the bound gallate, seems to contribute to proper positioning of the substrate in the active site. His192, which is located close to OH (3) of the gallate, is likely to serve as the catalytic base. Glu377' interacts with OH (5) of the gallate and seems to play a critical role in the substrate specificity. Our biochemical and structural study showed the substrate recognition and catalytic mechanisms of DesB.

Abstract
Catechol 2,3-dioxygenases (C23Os, E.C.1.13.12.2) are two domain enzymes that catalyze degradation of monoaromatic hydrocarbons. The catalytically active C-domain of all known C23Os comprises ferrous ion ligands as well as residues forming active site pocket. The aim of this work was to examine and discuss the effect of nonsense mutation at position 289 on the activity of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from Planococcus strain. Although the mutant C23O showed the same optimal temperature for activity as the wild-type protein (35°C), it exhibited activity slightly more tolerant to alkaline pH. Mutant enzyme exhibited also higher affinity to catechol as a substrate. Its Km (66.17 µM) was approximately 30% lower than that of wild-type enzyme. Interestingly, removal of the C-terminal residues resulted in 1.5- to 1.8-fold (P < 0.05) increase in the activity of C23OB61 against 4-methylcatechol and 4-chlorocatechol, respectively, while towards catechol the activity of the protein dropped to about 80% of that of the wild-type enzyme. The results obtained may facilitate the engineering of the C23O for application in the bioremediation of polluted areas.

Abstract
PcpA (2,6-dichloro-p-hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase) from Sphingobium chlorophenolicum, a non-haem Fe(II) dioxygenase capable of cleaving the aromatic ring of p-hydroquinone and its substituted variants, is a member of the recently discovered p-hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenases. Here we report the 2.6 Å structure of PcpA, which consists of four βαβββ motifs, a hallmark of the vicinal oxygen chelate superfamily. The secondary co-ordination sphere of the Fe(II) centre forms an extensive hydrogen-bonding network with three solvent exposed residues, linking the catalytic Fe(II) to solvent. A tight hydrophobic pocket provides p-hydroquinones access to the Fe(II) centre. The p-hydroxyl group is essential for the substrate-binding, thus phenols and catechols, lacking a p-hydroxyl group, do not bind to PcpA. Site-directed mutagenesis and kinetic analysis confirm the critical catalytic role played by the highly conserved His10, Thr13, His226 and Arg259. Based on these results, we propose a general reaction mechanism for p-hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenases.

Abstract
Homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (FeHPCD) utilizes an active site Fe(II) to activate O(2) in a reaction cycle that ultimately results in aromatic ring cleavage. Here, the roles of the conserved active site residue Tyr257 are investigated by solving the X-ray crystal structures of the Tyr257-to-Phe variant (Y257F) in complex with the substrate homoprotocatechuate (HPCA) and the alternative substrate 4-nitrocatechol (4NC). These are compared with structures of the analogous wild type enzyme complexes. In addition, the oxy intermediate of the reaction cycle of Y257F-4NC + O(2) is formed in crystallo and structurally characterized. It is shown that both substrates adopt a previously unrecognized, slightly nonplanar, strained conformation affecting the geometries of all aromatic ring carbons when bound in the FeHPCD active site. This global deviation from planarity is not observed for the Y257F variant. In the Y257F-4NC-oxy complex, the O(2) is bound side-on to the Fe(II), while the 4NC is chelated in two adjacent sites. The ring of the 4NC in this complex is planar, in contrast to the equivalent FeHPCD intermediate, which exhibits substantial local distortion of the substrate hydroxyl moiety (C2-O(-)) that is hydrogen bonded to Tyr257. We propose that Tyr257 induces the global and local distortions of the substrate ring in two different ways. First, van der Waals conflict between the Tyr257-OH substituent and the substrate C2 carbon is relieved by adopting the globally strained structure. Second, Tyr257 stabilizes the localized out-of-plane position of the C2-O(-) by forming a stronger hydrogen bond as the distortion increases. Both types of distortions favor transfer of one electron out of the substrate to form a reactive semiquinone radical. Then, the localized distortion at substrate C2 promotes formation of the key alkylperoxo intermediate of the cycle resulting from oxygen attack on the activated substrate at C2, which becomes sp(3) hybridized. The inability of Y257F to promote the distorted substrate structure may explain the observed 100-fold decrease in the rates of the O(2) activation and insertion steps of the reaction.

Abstract
Homoprotocatechuate (HPCA; 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate or 4-carboxymethyl catechol) and O(2) bind in adjacent ligand sites of the active site Fe(II) of homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (FeHPCD). We have proposed that electron transfer from the chelated aromatic substrate through the Fe(II) to O(2) gives both substrates radical character. This would promote reaction between the substrates to form an alkylperoxo intermediate as the first step in aromatic ring cleavage. Several active site amino acids are thought to promote these reactions through acid/base chemistry, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Here the role of Tyr257 is explored by using the Tyr257Phe (Y257F) variant, which decreases k(cat) by about 75%. The crystal structure of the FeHPCD-HPCA complex has shown that Tyr257 hydrogen bonds to the deprotonated C2-hydroxyl of HPCA. Stopped-flow studies show that at least two reaction intermediates, termed Y257F(Int1)(HPCA) and Y257F(Int2)(HPCA), accumulate during the Y257F-HPCA + O(2) reaction prior to formation of the ring-cleaved product. Y257F(Int1)(HPCA) is colorless and is formed as O(2) binds reversibly to the HPCA−enzyme complex. Y257F(Int2)(HPCA) forms spontaneously from Y257F(Int1)(HPCA) and displays a chromophore at 425 nm (ε(425) = 10 500 M(−1) cm(−1)). Mössbauer spectra of the intermediates trapped by rapid freeze quench show that both intermediates contain Fe(II). The lack of a chromophore characteristic of a quinone or semiquinone form of HPCA, the presence of Fe(II), and the low O(2) affinity suggest that Y257F(Int1)(HPCA) is an HPCA-Fe(II)-O(2) complex with little electron delocalization onto the O(2). In contrast, the intense spectrum of Y257F(Int2)(HPCA) suggests the intermediate is most likely an HPCA quinone-Fe(II)-(hydro)peroxo species. Steady-state and transient kinetic analyses show that steps of the catalytic cycle are slowed by as much as 100-fold by the mutation. These effects can be rationalized by a failure of Y257F to facilitate the observed distortion of the bound HPCA that is proposed to promote transfer of one electron to O(2).

Abstract
Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase is present in several types of bacteria and undergoes degradation of environmental pollutants through an important key biochemical pathways. Specifically, this enzyme cleaves aromatic rings of several environmental pollutants such as toluene, xylene, naphthalene and biphenyl derivatives. Hence, the importance of Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase and its role in the degradation of environmental pollutants made us to predict the three-dimensional structure of Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase from Burkholderia cepacia. The 10ns molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to check the stability of the modeled Catechol 2, 3- dioxygenase. The results show that the model was energetically stable, and it attains their equilibrium within 2000 ps of production MD run. The docking of various petroleum hydrocarbons into the Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase reveals that the benzene, O-xylene, Toluene, Fluorene, Naphthalene, Carbazol, Pyrene, Dibenzothiophene, Anthracene, Phenanthrene, Biphenyl makes strong hydrogen bond and Van der waals interaction with the active site residues of H150, L152, W198, H206, H220, H252, I254, T255, Y261, E271, L276 and F309. Free energy of binding and estimated inhibition constant of these compounds demonstrates that they are energetically stable in their binding cavity. Chrysene shows positive energy of binding in the active site atom of Fe. Except Pyrene all the substrates made close contact with Fe atom by the distance ranges from 1.67 to 2.43 Å. In addition to that, the above mentioned substrate except pyrene all other made π-π stacking interaction with H252 by the distance ranges from 3.40 to 3.90 Å. All these docking results reveal that, except Chrysene all other substrate has good free energy of binding to hold enough in the active site and makes strong VdW interaction with Catechol-2,3-dioxygenase. These results suggest that, the enzyme is capable of catalyzing the above-mentioned substrate.

Abstract
Tailoring enzymes catalyze reactions that modify natural product backbone structures before, during, or after their biosynthesis to create a final product with specific biological activities. Such reactions can be catalyzed by a myriad of different enzyme families and are responsible for a wide variety of transformations including regio- and/or stereospecific acylation, alkylation, glycosylation, halogenation, and oxidation. Within a broad group of oxidative tailoring enzymes, there is a rapidly growing family of nonheme iron- and oxygen-dependent enzymes that catalyze a variety of remarkable hydroxylation, desaturation, halogenation, and oxidative cyclization reaction in the biosynthesis of several important metabolites, including carbapenems, penicillins, cephalosporins, clavams, prodiginines, fosfomycin, syringomycin, and coronatine. In this chapter, we report an expedient method for analyzing tailoring enzymes that catalyze oxidative cyclization reactions in prodiginine biosynthesis via expression of the corresponding genes in a heterologous host, feeding of putative biosynthetic intermediates to the resulting strains, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of the metabolites produced.

Abstract
In this study, two statistical experimental designs, Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and response surface methodology (RSM), were employed to enhance the expression of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (BphC_LA-4), which was subsequently used for the construction of catechol biosensor. Ten important factors were evaluated by PBD, and four significant parameters were then optimized by RSM. Under the favorable fermentation conditions, the maximal specific activity of BphC_LA-4 was about 0.58U/mg with catechol as substrate. Meanwhile, homology modeling and molecular docking were utilized to help understand the interaction between BphC_LA-4 and catecholic substrates, which illustrated that BphC_LA-4 presented lower binding affinity towards 4-methylcatechol in comparison with 3-methylcatechol and catechol. Interestingly, the BphC_LA-4 enzyme electrode prepared by SiO2 sol-gel showed good response to all these three catecholic compounds. The differences of selectivity to 4-methylcatechol between free and immobilized enzyme implied that the introduction of electro-catalysis might have an effect on the enzyme-catalysis process.

Abstract
A feasible and sensitive biosensor for catechol and its derivatives using 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (BphC)-modified glassy carbon electrode was successfully constructed by polyvinyl alcohol-modified SiO₂ sol-gel method. The as-prepared biosensor was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the surface topography of the film was imaged by atomic force microscope. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was applied to reveal the catalytic mechanism. BphC embedded in SiO₂ gel maintained its bioactivity well and exhibited excellent eletrocatalytical response to both catechol and some of its derivatives (such as 3-methylcatechol and 4-methylcatechol). The biosensor showed a linear amperometric response range between 0.002 mM and 0.8 mM catechol. And the sensitivity was 1.268 mA/(mM cm²) with a detection limit of 0.428 μM for catechol (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the BphC biosensor exhibited perfect selectivity for catechol in the mixtures of catechol and phenol. It was suggested that this flexible protocol would open up a new avenue for designing other ring-cleavage enzyme biosensors, which could be widely used for monitoring various kinds of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
High-resolution crystal structures are reported for apo, holo, and substrate-bound forms of a toxoflavin-degrading metalloenzyme (TflA). In addition, the degradation reaction is shown to be dependent on oxygen, Mn(II), and dithiothreitol in vitro. Despite its low sequence identity with proteins of known structure, TflA is structurally homologous to proteins of the vicinal oxygen chelate superfamily. Like other metalloenzymes in this superfamily, the TflA fold contains four modules that associate to form a metal binding site; however, the fold displays a rare rearrangement of the structural modules indicative of domain permutation. Moreover, unlike the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad commonly utilized by vicinal oxygen chelate dioxygenases and other dioxygen-activating non-heme Fe(II) enzymes, the metal center in TflA consists of a 1-His-2-carboxylate facial triad. The substrate-bound complex shows square-pyramidal geometry in which one position is occupied by O5 of toxoflavin. The open coordination site is predicted to be the dioxygen binding site. TflA appears to stabilize the reduced form of toxoflavin through second-sphere interactions. This anionic species is predicted to be the electron source responsible for reductive activation of oxygen to produce a peroxytoxoflavin intermediate.

Abstract
A thermostable manganese(II)-dependent 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl-1,2-dioxygenase derived from Bacillus sp. JF8 was crystallized. The initial screening for crystallization was performed by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method using a crystallization robot, resulting in the growth of two crystal forms. The first crystal belonged to space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a = 62.7, b = 71.4, c = 93.6 A, alpha = 71.2, beta = 81.0, gamma = 64.0 degrees, and diffracted to 1.3 A resolution. The second crystal belonged to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 74.2, b = 90.8, c = 104.3 A, and diffracted to 1.3 A resolution. Molecular-replacement trials using homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase from Arthrobacter globiformis (28% amino-acid sequence identity) as a search model provided a satisfactory solution for both crystal forms.

Abstract
Gallate dioxygenase (DesB) from Sphingobium sp. SYK-6, which belongs to the type II extradiol dioxygenase family, was purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Two crystal forms were obtained. The form I crystal belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 136.2, b = 53.6, c = 55.1 angstrom, beta = 112.8 degrees, and diffracted to 1.6 angstrom resolution. The form II crystal belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 56.2, b = 64.7, c = 116.1 angstrom, beta = 95.1 degrees, and diffracted to 1.9 angstrom resolution. A molecular-replacement calculation using LigAB as a search model yielded a satisfactory solution for both crystal forms.

Abstract
The extradiol aromatic ring-cleaving dioxygenases activate molecular oxygen by binding both O(2) and the catecholic substrate to a reduced active site metal, generally Fe(II). Progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of this reaction through the combined use of kinetic, computational, biomimetic, structural, and diagnostic chemical approaches. It appears that O(2) is activated by accepting an electron transferred from the substrate through the metal, thereby simultaneously activating oxygen and substrate for reaction with each other.

Abstract
Ring-cleaving dioxygenases catalyze the oxygenolytic fission of catecholic compounds, a critical step in the aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds by bacteria. Two classes of these enzymes have been identified, based on the mode of ring cleavage: intradiol dioxygenases utilize non-heme Fe(III) to cleave the aromatic nucleus ortho to the hydroxyl substituents; and extradiol dioxygenases utilize non-heme Fe(II) or other divalent metal ions to cleave the aromatic nucleus meta to the hydroxyl substituents. Recent genomic, structural, spectroscopic, and kinetic studies have increased our understanding of the distribution, evolution, and mechanisms of these enzymes. Overall, extradiol dioxygenases appear to be more versatile than their intradiol counterparts. Thus, the former cleave a wider variety of substrates, have evolved on a larger number of structural scaffolds, and occur in a wider variety of pathways, including biosynthetic pathways and pathways that degrade non-aromatic compounds. The catalytic mechanisms of the two enzymes proceed via similar iron-alkylperoxo intermediates. The ability of extradiol enzymes to act on a variety of non-catecholic compounds is consistent with proposed differences in the breakdown of this iron-alkylperoxo intermediate in the two enzymes, involving alkenyl migration in extradiol enzymes and acyl migration in intradiol enzymes. Nevertheless, despite recent advances in our understanding of these fascinating enzymes, the major determinant of the mode of ring cleavage remains unknown.

Abstract
Oxidase and oxygenase enzymes allow the use of relatively unreactive O2 in biochemical reactions. Many of the mechanistic strategies used in nature for this key reaction are represented within the 2-histidine-1-carboxylate facial triad family of non-heme Fe(II)-containing enzymes. The open face of the metal coordination sphere opposite the three endogenous ligands participates directly in the reaction chemistry. Here, data from several studies are presented showing that reductive O2 activation within this family is initiated by substrate (and in some cases cosubstrate or cofactor) binding, which then allows coordination of O2 to the metal. From this starting point, the O2 activation process and the reactions with substrates diverge broadly. The reactive species formed in these reactions have been proposed to encompass four oxidation states of iron and all forms of reduced O2 as well as several of the reactive oxygen species that derive from O-O bond cleavage.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
A specific marking and detection technique is a fundamental requirement for the safer use of genetically modified (GM) organisms. Here we propose a simple and effective method for directly marking functional transgenes in GM organisms. For that purpose, we introduced nucleotide substitutions (NS), based on the degeneracy of codons as markers (NS markers), into the
bphC
(2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase) and
tomA3
(toluene-
ortho
-monooxygenase) gene frames using a PCR-based method. No change was observed in the enzyme activity of translated proteins, and alignments with homologous genes showed the uniqueness of the NS markers. Furthermore, we constructed
tomA3
variations harboring NS markers in different positions. Although the translational products were identical, the constructed variation genes could be distinguished through their marker patterns by multiplex PCR, showing that NS markers could serve as product-specific tags for identifying individual GM organisms. This direct method of marking the functional transgene provides a simple, low-risk, and robust marking method without causing the gene functions to deteriorate.

Abstract
Intermediates in the reaction cycle of an oxygenase are usually very informative with respect to the chemical mechanism of O 2 activation and insertion. However, detection of these intermediates is often complicated by their short lifetime and the regulatory mechanism of the enzyme designed to ensure specificity. Here, the methods used to detect the intermediates in an extradiol dioxygenase, a Rieske cis-dihydrodiol dioxygenase, and soluble methane monooxygenase are discussed. The methods include the use of alternative, chromophoric substrates, mutagenesis of active site catalytic residues, forced changes in substrate binding order, control of reaction rates using regulatory proteins, and initialization of catalysis in crystallo.

Abstract
We report the structures of three intermediates in the O2 activation and insertion reactions of an extradiol ring-cleaving dioxygenase. A crystal of Fe2+-containing homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase was soaked in the slow substrate 4-nitrocatechol in a low O2 atmosphere. The x-ray crystal structure shows that three different intermediates reside in different subunits of a single homotetrameric enzyme molecule. One of these is the key substrate-alkylperoxo-Fe2+ intermediate, which has been predicted, but not structurally characterized, in an oxygenase. The intermediates define the major chemical steps of the dioxygenase mechanism and point to a general mechanistic strategy for the diverse 2-His-1-carboxylate enzyme family.

Abstract
Complexes Cu(O2Ncat)(tbeda) (1) and Cu(O2Ncat)(tmeda) (2) (tbeda = N,N,N',N'-tetrabenzylethylenediamine, tmeda=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenenediamine, O2NcatH2=4-nitrocatechol) have been prepared by the reaction of copper(II) perchlorate with 4-nitrocatechol in the presence of triethylamine and the appropriate bidentate ligand. These compounds represent structural and functional model systems for the copper-containing catechol 1,2-dioxygenase. Both complexes have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and by UV-vis, IR, and EPR spectroscopies. Upon protonation of 1 and 2 with perchloric acid, the bidentate coordination of O2Ncat could be reversible converted to the monodentate coordination of O2NcatH. The equilibrium constants were found to be 4200 and 3500, respectively, by measuring the UV-vis spectra in DMF. Back-titration with morpholine proved the reversibility of both reactions. Kinetic data on the oxygenation of 1 and 2 revealed overall second-order rate equations with kinetic parameters: ktbeda=(4.63+/-0.23)x10(-2) mol-1 dm3 s-1, DeltaH=51+/-6 kJ mol-1, DeltaS=-137+/-16 J mol-1 K-1; ktmeda=(0.89+/-0.23) mol-1 dm3 s-1, DeltaH=85+/-7 kJ mol-1, DeltaS=-57+/-19 J mol-1 K-1 at 365.16 K. Oxygenation of 1, 2, and [Cu(O2NcatH)(L)]ClO4 (L=tbeda, tmeda) in DMF solution at ambient conditions gives the corresponding intradiol ring-cleaved (2-nitro-muconato)copper(II) complexes. These data support the assumption that the reaction of the differently coordinated catecholate ligand with dioxygen shows only 1,2-dioxygenase activity.

Abstract
Mononuclear iron(II)- and iron(III)-catecholato complexes with three members of a new 3,3-bis(1-alkylimidazol-2-yl)propionate ligand family have been synthesized as models of the active sites of the extradiol cleaving catechol dioxygenases. These enzymes are part of the superfamily of dioxygen-activating mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes that feature the so-called 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad. The tridentate, tripodal, and monoanionic ligands used in this study include the biologically relevant carboxylate and imidazole donor groups. The structure of the mononuclear iron(III)-tetrachlorocatecholato complex [Fe(L3)(tcc)(H2O)] was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which shows a facial N,N,O capping mode of the ligand. For the first time, a mononuclear iron complex has been synthesized, which is facially capped by a ligand offering a tridentate Nim,Nim,Ocarb donor set, identical to the endogenous ligands of the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad. The iron complexes are five-coordinate in noncoordinating media, and the vacant coordination site is accessible for Lewis bases, e.g., pyridine, or small molecules such as dioxygen. The iron(II)-catecholato complexes react with dioxygen in two steps. In the first reaction the iron(II)-catecholato complexes rapidly convert to the corresponding iron(III) complexes, which then, in a second slow reaction, exhibit both oxidative cleavage and auto-oxidation of the substrate. Extradiol and intradiol cleavage are observed in noncoordinating solvents. The addition of a proton donor results in an increase in extradiol cleavage. The complexes add a new example to the small group of synthetic iron complexes capable of eliciting extradiol-type cleavage and provide more insight into the factors determining the regioselectivity of the enzymes.

Iron(III) complexes of certain meridionally coordinating tridentate ligands as models for non-heme iron enzymes: The role of carboxylate coordination. J Inorg Biochem 2006; 100:1527-34. [PMID: 16814389 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2006.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2005] [Revised: 04/13/2006] [Accepted: 05/10/2006] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The iron(III) complexes [Fe(pda)Cl(H(2)O)(2)] (1), [Fe(tpy)Cl(3)] (2), and [Fe(bbp)Cl(3)] (3), where H(2)pda is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, tpy is 2,2':6,2''-terpyridine and bbp is 2,6-bis(benzimidazolyl)pyridine, have been isolated and studied as functional models for the intradiol-cleaving catechol dioxygenase enzymes. Mixed ligand complexes of H(2)pda with the bidentate ligands 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) have been also prepared and studied. All the complexes have been characterized using absorption spectral and electrochemical methods. The spectral changes in the catecholate adducts of the complexes generated in situ have been investigated. Upon interacting the complexes with catecholate anions a low energy catecholate to iron(III) charge transfer band appears, which is similar to that observed for enzyme-substrate complexes. All the complexes catalyze the oxidative intradiol cleavage of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (H(2)dbc) in the presence of dioxygen. Interestingly, on replacing the pyridyl groups in 2 and the bulky benzimidazole groups in 3 by the carboxylate groups, the yields of the intradiol cleavage products of dioxygenation increases, 1 (50%)>2 (20%)>3 (10%). The higher intradiol yield for 1 has been ascribed to the meridional coordination of two carboxylate groups of pda(2-). In contrast to the trend in the intradiol cleavage yields, a tremendous decrease in the rate (200 times) is observed on replacing the two pyridyl moieties in 2 by two carboxylates as in 1 and a significant decrease in rate is observed on replacing the pyridyl moieties in 2 by strongly sigma-donating benzimidazole moieties as in 3. This is in conformity with the decrease in Lewis acidities of the iron(III) centers.

Abstract
A unique distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry observed for the non-heme iron center in protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase (3,4-PCD) was carefully examined utilizing a sterically hindered iron salen complex, which well reproduces the endogenous His2Tyr2 donor set with water as an external ligand. X-ray crystal structures of a series of iron model complexes containing bis(3,5-dimesitylsalicylidene)-1,2-dimesitylethylenediamine indicate that a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry is achieved upon binding of water as an external ligand. The extent of a structural change of the iron center from a preferred square-pyramidal to a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry varies with the external ligand that is bound in the order Cl << EtO < H2O, which is consistent with the spectrochemical series. The distortion in the model system is not due to steric repulsions but electronic interactions between the external ligand and the iron center, as evidenced from the X-ray crystal structures of another series of iron model complexes with a less-hindered bis(3-xylylsalicylidene)-1,2-dimesitylethylenediamine ligand, as well as by density functional theory calculations. Further spectroscopic investigations indicate that a unique distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry is indeed maintained even in solution. The present model study provides a new viewpoint that a unique distorted trigonal-bipyramidal iron site might not be preorganized by a 3,4-PCD protein but could be electronically induced upon the binding of an external hydroxide ligand to the iron(III) center. The structural change induced by the external water ligand is also discussed in relation to the reaction mechanism of 3,4-PCD.

Abstract
RecA-dependent homologous recombination in Escherichia coli is a very effective way to construct chimeras between two homologous genes. The disadvantage of in vivo method is a small library size of chimeric genes in comparison with in vitro DNA shuffling. In order to overcome the disadvantage, we have developed novel in vivo DNA shuffling methods with successive homologous recombinations. Linearized DNA molecules with two homologous genes were made with ligation rather than the conventional restriction enzyme cleavage between two genes. The three-way ligation of a vector and two homologous bphC genes encoding 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases or the two-way ligation of the donor bphC gene and an acceptor plasmid carrying the homologous bphC gene generated a variety of linearized DNA molecules. The homologous recombination between the genes on the linearized DNA molecules created the large chimeric bphC gene libraries in a recBC sbcA E. coli strain. After three rounds of recombinations, chimeric bphC genes with four-part gene fragments by triple-crossover were easily obtained. By employing a 96-well microtiter plate high-throughput screening, thermally stable chimeric 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases were selected from chimeric bphC gene libraries. This opens up a new way for directed evolution of proteins in vivo.

Abstract
Human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) catalyzes the cleavage of the pyrrol ring of L-Trp and incorporates both atoms of a molecule of oxygen (O2). Here we report on the x-ray crystal structure of human IDO, complexed with the ligand inhibitor 4-phenylimidazole and cyanide. The overall structure of IDO shows two alpha-helical domains with the heme between them. A264 of the flexible loop in the heme distal side is in close proximity to the iron. A mutant analysis shows that none of the polar amino acid residues in the distal heme pocket are essential for activity, suggesting that, unlike the heme-containing monooxygenases (i.e., peroxidase and cytochrome P450), no protein group of IDO is essential in dioxygen activation or proton abstraction. These characteristics of the IDO structure provide support for a reaction mechanism involving the abstraction of a proton from the substrate by iron-bound dioxygen. Inactive mutants (F226A, F227A, and R231A) retain substrate-binding affinity, and an electron density map reveals that 2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethane sulfonic acid is bound to these residues, mimicking the substrate. These findings suggest that strict shape complementarities between the indole ring of the substrate and the protein side chains are required, not for binding, but, rather, to permit the interaction between the substrate and iron-bound dioxygen in the first step of the reaction. This study provides the structural basis for a heme-containing dioxygenase mechanism, a missing piece in our understanding of heme chemistry.

Abstract
The extradiol dioxygenase, 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (DHBD, EC 1.13.11.39), has been studied using magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), variable-temperature variable-field (VTVH) MCD, X-ray absorption (XAS) pre-edge, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies, which are analogous to methods used in earlier studies on the extradiol dioxygenase catechol 2,3-dioxygenase [Mabrouk et al. J. Am. Chem Soc. 1991, 113, 4053-4061]. For DHBD, the spectroscopic data can be correlated to the results of crystallography and with the results from density functional calculations to obtain detailed geometric and electronic structure descriptions of the resting and substrate (DHB) bound forms of the enzyme. The geometry of the active site of the resting enzyme, square pyramidal with a strong Fe-glutamate bond in the equatorial plane, localizes the redox active orbital in an orientation appropriate for O(2) binding. However, the O(2) reaction is not favorable, as it would produce a ferric superoxide intermediate with a weak Fe-O bond. Substrate binding leads to a new square pyramidal structure with the strong Fe-glutamate bond in the axial direction as indicated by a decrease in the (5)E(g) and increase in the (5)T(2g) splitting. Electronic structure calculations provide insight into the relative lack of dioxygen reactivity for the resting enzyme and its activation upon substrate binding.

Abstract
2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.39) from Pseudomonas sp. strain KKS102 (BphC) catalyzes the proximal extradiol cleavage of the catechol ring of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl (DHB), a key step in the biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyl. Because the active site Fe(II) ion of the extradiol dioxygenase is colorless, it has been difficult to monitor the reaction cycle kinetics. Here, we have found that BphC binds strongly the chromophoric substrate 3-formylcatechol (3FC) as a monoanion (Kd=0.8 microM) and cleaves it two orders of magnitude slower compared to DHB under air-saturation conditions. By utilizing 3FC as a probe, the reaction cycle kinetics of BphC was monitored for the first time. The binding of 3FC occurred in a three-step process involving rapid deprotonation of 3FC. The bound monoanionic 3FC reacted slowly with O2 in three steps, occurring in sequence, the ring opening step being the slowest one.
