Abstract
Enzymes are nature's ultimate machinery to catalyze complex reactions. Though enzymes are evolved to catalyze specific reactions, they also show significant promiscuity in reactions and substrate selection. Metalloenzymes contain a metal ion or metal cofactor in their active site, which is crucial in their catalytic activity. Depending on the metal and its coordination environment, the metal ion or cofactor may function as a Lewis acid or base and a redox center and thus can catalyze a plethora of natural reactions. In fact, the versatility in the oxidation state of the metal ions provides metalloenzymes with a high level of catalytic adaptability and promiscuity. In this chapter, we discuss different aspects of promiscuity in metalloenzymes by using several recent experimental and theoretical works as case studies. We start our discussion by introducing the concept of promiscuity and then we delve into the mechanistic insight into promiscuity at the molecular level.

Abstract
Class Ic ribonucleotide reductases (RNRIc) and R2-like ligand-binding oxidases (R2lox) are known to contain heterobimetallic MnIIFeII cofactors. How these enzymes assemble MnIIFeII cofactors has been a long-standing puzzle due to the weaker binding affinity of MnII versus FeII. In addition, the heterobimetallic selectivity of RNRIc and R2lox has yet to be reproduced with coordination complexes, leading to the hypothesis that RNRIc and R2lox overcome the thermodynamic preference for coordination of FeII over MnII with their carefully constructed three-dimensional protein structures. Herein, we report the selective formation of a heterobimetallic MnIIFeII complex accomplished in the absence of a protein scaffold. Treatment of the ligand Py4DMcT (L) with equimolar amounts of FeII and MnII along with two equivalents of acetate (OAc) affords [LMnIIFeII (OAc)2(OTf)]+ (MnIIFeII) in 80% yield, while the diiron complex [LFeIIFeII(OAc)2(OTf)]+ (FeIIFeII) is produced in only 8% yield. The formation of MnIIFeII is favored regardless of the order of addition of FeII and MnII sources. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of single crystals of MnIIFeII reveals an unsymmetrically coordinated carboxylate ligand─a primary coordination sphere feature shared by both RNRIc and R2lox that differentiates the two metal binding sites. Anomalous XRD studies confirm that MnIIFeII exhibits the same site selectivity as R2lox and RNRIc, with the FeII (d6) center preferentially occupying the distorted octahedral site. We conclude that the successful assembly of MnIIFeII originates from (1) Fe-deficient conditions, (2) site differentiation, and (3) the inability of ligand L to house a dimanganese complex.

Abstract
Bimetallic active sites in enzymes catalyze small-molecule conversions that are among the top 10 challenges in chemistry. As different metal cofactors are typically incorporated in varying protein scaffolds, it is demanding to disentangle the individual contributions of the metal and the protein matrix to the activity. Here, we compared the structure, properties, and hydrogen peroxide reactivity of four homobimetallic cofactors (Mn(II)2, Fe(II)2, Co(II)2, Ni(II)2) that were reconstituted into a four-helix bundle protein. Reconstituted proteins were studied in solution and in crystals. All metals bind with high affinity and yield similar cofactor structures. Cofactor variants react with H2O2 but differ in their turnover rates, accumulated oxidation states, and trapped peroxide-bound intermediates. Varying the metal composition thus creates opportunities to tune the reactivity of the bimetallic cofactor and to study and functionalize reactive species.

Abstract
Heterobimetallic Mn/Fe proteins represent a new cofactor paradigm in bioinorganic chemistry and pose countless outstanding questions. The assembly of the active site defies common chemical convention by contradicting the Irving-Williams series, while the scope of reactivity remains unexplored. In this work, the assembly and C-H bond activation process in the Mn/Fe R2-like ligand-binding oxidase (R2lox) protein is investigated using a suite of biophysical techniques, including time-resolved optical spectroscopy, global kinetic modeling, X-ray crystallography, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, protein electrochemistry, and mass spectrometry. Selective metal binding is found to be under thermodynamic control, with the binding sites within the apo-protein exhibiting greater MnII affinity than FeII affinity. The comprehensive analysis of structure and reactivity of wild-type R2lox and targeted primary and secondary sphere mutants indicate that the efficiency of C-H bond activation directly correlates with the Mn/Fe cofactor reduction potentials and is inversely related to divalent metal binding affinity. These findings suggest the R2lox active site is precisely tuned for achieving both selective heterobimetallic binding and high levels of reactivity and offer a mechanism to examine the means by which proteins achieve appropriate metal incorporation.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) activation is a central challenge in chemistry and catalyzed at prototypic dimetal cofactors in biological enzymes with diverse functions. Analysis of intermediates is required to elucidate the reaction paths of reductive O2 cleavage. An oxidase protein from the bacterium Geobacillus kaustophilus, R2lox, was used for aerobic in-vitro reconstitution with only 57Fe(II) or Mn(II) plus 57Fe(II) ions to yield [FeFe] or [MnFe] cofactors under various oxygen and solvent isotopic conditions including 16/18O and H/D exchange. 57Fe-specific X-ray scattering techniques were employed to collect nuclear forward scattering (NFS) and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) data of the R2lox proteins. NFS revealed Fe/Mn(III)Fe(III) cofactor states and Mössbauer quadrupole splitting energies. Quantum chemical calculations of NRVS spectra assigned molecular structures, vibrational modes, and protonation patterns of the cofactors, featuring a terminal water (H2O) bound at iron or manganese in site 1 and a metal-bridging hydroxide (μOH-) ligand. A procedure for quantitation and correlation of experimental and computational NRVS difference signals due to isotope labeling was developed. This approach revealed that the protons of the ligands as well as the terminal water at the R2lox cofactors exchange with the bulk solvent whereas 18O from 18O2 cleavage is incorporated in the hydroxide bridge. In R2lox, the two water molecules from four-electron O2 reduction are released in a two-step reaction to the solvent. These results establish combined NRVS and QM/MM for tracking of iron-based oxygen activation in biological and chemical catalysts and clarify the reductive O2 cleavage route in an enzyme.

Abstract
A heterobimetallic Mn/Fe cofactor is present in the R2 subunit of class Ic ribonucleotide reductases (R2c) and in R2-like ligand-binding oxidases (R2lox). Although the protein-derived metal ligands are the same in both groups of proteins, the connectivity of the two metal ions and the chemistry each cofactor performs are different: in R2c, a one-electron oxidant, the Mn/Fe dimer is linked by two oxygen bridges (μ-oxo/μ-hydroxo), whereas in R2lox, a two-electron oxidant, it is linked by a single oxygen bridge (μ-hydroxo) and a fatty acid ligand. Here, we identified a second coordination sphere residue that directs the divergent reactivity of the protein scaffold. We found that the residue that directly precedes the N-terminal carboxylate metal ligand is conserved as a glycine within the R2lox group but not in R2c. Substitution of the glycine with leucine converted the resting-state R2lox cofactor to an R2c-like cofactor, a μ-oxo/μ-hydroxo-bridged MnIII/FeIII dimer. This species has recently been observed as an intermediate of the oxygen activation reaction in WT R2lox, indicating that it is physiologically relevant. Cofactor maturation in R2c and R2lox therefore follows the same pathway, with structural and functional divergence of the two cofactor forms following oxygen activation. We also show that the leucine-substituted variant no longer functions as a two-electron oxidant. Our results reveal that the residue preceding the N-terminal metal ligand directs the cofactor's reactivity toward one- or two-electron redox chemistry, presumably by setting the protonation state of the bridging oxygens and thereby perturbing the redox potential of the Mn ion.

Abstract
Here, a method is described which exploits X-ray anomalous dispersion (XAD) to quantify mixtures of metal ions in the binding sites of proteins and can be applied to metalloprotein crystals of average quality. This method has successfully been used to study site-specific metal binding in a protein from the R2-like ligand-binding oxidase family which assembles a heterodinuclear Mn/Fe cofactor. While previously only the relative contents of Fe and Mn in each metal-binding site have been assessed, here it is shown that the method can be extended to quantify the relative occupancies of at least three different transition metals, enabling complex competition experiments. The number of different metal ions that can be quantified is only limited by the number of high-quality anomalous data sets that can be obtained from one crystal, as one data set has to be collected for each transition-metal ion that is present (or is suspected to be present) in the protein, ideally at the absorption edge of each metal. A detailed description of the method, Q-XAD, is provided.

Abstract
This review discusses the chemical mechanisms of ascorbate-dependent reduction and solubilization of ferritin's ferric iron core and subsequent release of ferrous iron. The process is accelerated by low concentrations of Fe(II) that increase ferritin's intrinsic ascorbate oxidase activity, hence increasing the rate of ascorbate radical formation. These increased rates of ascorbate oxidation provide reducing equivalents (electrons) to ferritin's core and speed the core reduction rates with subsequent solubilization and release of Fe(II). Ascorbate-dependent solubilization of ferritin's iron core has consequences relating to the interpretation of 59Fe uptake sourced from 59Fe-lebelled holotransferrin into ferritin. Ascorbate-dependent reduction of the ferritin core iron solubility increases the size of ferritin's iron exchangeable pool and hence the rate and amount of exchange uptake of 59Fe into ferritin, whilst simultaneously increasing net iron release rate from ferritin. This may rationalize the inconsistency that ascorbate apparently stabilizes 59Fe ferritin and retards lysosomal ferritinolysis and whole cell 59Fe release, whilst paradoxically increasing the rate of net iron release from ferritin. This capacity of ascorbate and iron to synergise ferritin iron release has pathological significance, as it lowers the concentration at which ascorbate activates ferritin's iron release to within the physiological range (50-250 μM). These effects have relevance to inflammatory pathology and to the pro-oxidant effects of ascorbate in cancer therapy and cell death by ferroptosis.

Novel ATP-cone-driven allosteric regulation of ribonucleotide reductase via the radical-generating subunit. eLife 2018; 7:31529.

Abstract
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are key enzymes in DNA metabolism, with allosteric mechanisms controlling substrate specificity and overall activity. In RNRs, the activity master-switch, the ATP-cone, has been found exclusively in the catalytic subunit. In two class I RNR subclasses whose catalytic subunit lacks the ATP-cone, we discovered ATP-cones in the radical-generating subunit. The ATP-cone in the Leeuwenhoekiella blandensis radical-generating subunit regulates activity via quaternary structure induced by binding of nucleotides. ATP induces enzymatically competent dimers, whereas dATP induces non-productive tetramers, resulting in different holoenzymes. The tetramer forms by interactions between ATP-cones, shown by a 2.45 Å crystal structure. We also present evidence for an MnIIIMnIV metal center. In summary, lack of an ATP-cone domain in the catalytic subunit was compensated by transfer of the domain to the radical-generating subunit. To our knowledge, this represents the first observation of transfer of an allosteric domain between components of the same enzyme complex. When a cell copies its DNA, it uses four different building blocks called deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs). These consist of one of the four ‘bases’ (A, T, C and G), which pair up to link the two strands of DNA in the double helix, bound to a sugar and a phosphate group. If the cell contains too little or too much of one of these building blocks, an incorrect base may be inserted into the DNA. This results in a mutation, which in bacteria can cause death, and in animals may lead to cancer. The enzyme that fabricates and carefully controls the amount of each dNTP building block inside a cell is called ribonucleotide reductase. Once there are enough building blocks in a cell the enzyme is turned off. A part of the enzyme called the ATP-cone acts as an on/off switch to control this activity. The ribonucleotide reductase consists of a large component and a small component. Until now, studies of the ATP-cone have found it only in the large component of the enzyme. However, when looking through a public database of sequence data, Rozman Grinberg et al. noticed that ribonucleotide reductases in some bacteria have their ATP-cone joined to the small component. Does this ATP-cone also control the amounts of dNTP building blocks inside cells and, if so, how? Rozman Grinberg et al. studied one such ATP-cone in a ribonucleotide reductase from a bacterium (named Leeuwenhoekiella blandensis) found in the Mediterranean Sea. This revealed that when the amount of dNTP building blocks reaches a certain limit, the ATP-cone turns off the enzyme. Examining the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme using a technique called X-ray crystallography revealed that when turned off, the enzyme’s small components are glued together in pairs. This prevents them from working. Rozman Grinberg et al. also discovered that this enzyme contains a new type of metal center with two manganese ions suggesting that a new reaction mechanism may operate in this class of ribonucleotide reductase. These findings support a theory that biological on/off switches can evolve rapidly. In addition to its evolutionary and biomedical interest, understanding how the ATP-cone works might help to improve the enzymes used in industrial processes.

Abstract
Nonheme oxoiron(IV) complexes can serve as synthons for generating heterobimetallic oxo-bridged dimetal complexes by reaction with divalent metal complexes. The formation of FeIII-O-CrIII and FeIII-O-MnIII complexes is described herein. The latter complexes may serve as models for the FeIII-X-MnIII active sites of an emerging class of Fe/Mn enzymes represented by the Class 1c ribonucleotide reductase from Chlamydia trachomatis and the R2-like ligand-binding oxidase (R2lox) found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These synthetic complexes have been characterized by UV-Vis, resonance Raman, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, as well as electrospray mass spectrometry. The FeIII-O-CrIII complexes exhibit a three-band UV-Vis pattern that differs from the simpler features associated with FeIII-O-FeIII complexes. The positions of these features are modulated by the nature of the supporting polydentate ligand on the iron center, and their bands intensify dramatically in two examples upon the binding of an axial cyanate or thiocyanate ligand trans to the oxo bridge. In contrast, the FeIII-O-MnIII complexes resemble FeIII-O-FeIII complexes more closely. Resonance Raman characterization of the FeIII-O-MIII complexes reveals an 18O-sensitive vibration in the range of 760-890 cm-1. This feature has been assigned to the asymmetric FeIII-O-MIII stretching mode and correlates reasonably with the Fe-O bond distance determined by EXAFS analysis. The likely binding of an acetate as a bridging ligand to the FeIII-O-MnIII complex 12 lays the foundation for further efforts to model the heterobimetallic active sites of Fe/Mn enzymes.

Abstract
In plants, algae and cyanobacteria, Photosystem II (PSII) catalyzes the light-driven splitting of water at a protein-bound Mn4CaO5-cluster, the water-oxidizing complex (WOC). In the photosynthetic organisms, the light-driven formation of the WOC from dissolved metal ions is a key process because it is essential in both initial activation and continuous repair of PSII. Structural information is required for understanding of this chaperone-free metal-cluster assembly. For the first time, we obtained a structure of PSII from Thermosynechococcus elongatus without the Mn4CaO5-cluster. Surprisingly, cluster-removal leaves the positions of all coordinating amino acid residues and most nearby water molecules largely unaffected, resulting in a pre-organized ligand shell for kinetically competent and error-free photo-assembly of the Mn4CaO5-cluster. First experiments initiating (i) partial disassembly and (ii) partial re-assembly after complete depletion of the Mn4CaO5-cluster agree with a specific bi-manganese cluster, likely a di-µ-oxo bridged pair of Mn(III) ions, as an assembly intermediate.

Abstract
X-ray crystallography at X-ray free-electron laser sources is a powerful method for studying macromolecules at biologically relevant temperatures. Moreover, when combined with complementary techniques like X-ray emission spectroscopy, both global structures and chemical properties of metalloenzymes can be obtained concurrently, providing insights into the interplay between the protein structure and dynamics and the chemistry at an active site. The implementation of such a multimodal approach can be compromised by conflicting requirements to optimize each individual method. In particular, the method used for sample delivery greatly affects the data quality. We present here a robust way of delivering controlled sample amounts on demand using acoustic droplet ejection coupled with a conveyor belt drive that is optimized for crystallography and spectroscopy measurements of photochemical and chemical reactions over a wide range of time scales. Studies with photosystem II, the phytochrome photoreceptor, and ribonucleotide reductase R2 illustrate the power and versatility of this method.

Abstract
Enzymes with a dimetal-carboxylate cofactor catalyze reactions among the top challenges in chemistry such as methane and dioxygen (O2) activation. Recently described proteins bind a manganese-iron cofactor (MnFe) instead of the classical diiron cofactor (FeFe). Determination of atomic-level differences of homo- versus hetero-bimetallic cofactors is crucial to understand their diverse redox reactions. We studied a ligand-binding oxidase from the bacterium Geobacillus kaustophilus (R2lox) loaded with a FeFe or MnFe cofactor, which catalyzes O2 reduction and an unusual tyrosine-valine ether cross-link formation, as revealed by X-ray crystallography. Advanced X-ray absorption, emission, and vibrational spectroscopy methods and quantum chemical and molecular mechanics calculations provided relative Mn/Fe contents, X-ray photoreduction kinetics, metal-ligand bond lengths, metal-metal distances, metal oxidation states, spin configurations, valence-level degeneracy, molecular orbital composition, nuclear quadrupole splitting energies, and vibrational normal modes for both cofactors. A protonation state with an axial water (H2O) ligand at Mn or Fe in binding site 1 and a metal-bridging hydroxo group (μOH) in a hydrogen-bonded network is assigned. Our comprehensive picture of the molecular, electronic, and dynamic properties of the cofactors highlights reorientation of the unique axis along the Mn-OH2 bond for the Mn1(III) Jahn-Teller ion but along the Fe-μOH bond for the octahedral Fe1(III). This likely corresponds to a more positive redox potential of the Mn(III)Fe(III) cofactor and higher proton affinity of its μOH group. Refined model structures for the Mn(III)Fe(III) and Fe(III)Fe(III) cofactors are presented. Implications of our findings for the site-specific metalation of R2lox and performance of the O2 reduction and cross-link formation reactions are discussed.

Divergent assembly mechanisms of the manganese/iron cofactors in R2lox and R2c proteins. J Inorg Biochem 2016; 162:164-177.

Abstract
A manganese/iron cofactor which performs multi-electron oxidative chemistry is found in two classes of ferritin-like proteins, the small subunit (R2) of class Ic ribonucleotide reductase (R2c) and the R2-like ligand-binding oxidase (R2lox). It is unclear how a heterodimeric Mn/Fe metallocofactor is assembled in these two related proteins as opposed to a homodimeric Fe/Fe cofactor, especially considering the structural similarity and proximity of the two metal-binding sites in both protein scaffolds and the similar first coordination sphere ligand preferences of MnII and FeII. Using EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies as well as X-ray anomalous dispersion, we examined metal loading and cofactor activation of both proteins in vitro (in solution). We find divergent cofactor assembly mechanisms for the two systems. In both cases, excess MnII promotes heterobimetallic cofactor assembly. In the absence of FeII, R2c cooperatively binds MnII at both metal sites, whereas R2lox does not readily bind MnII at either site. Heterometallic cofactor assembly is favored at substoichiometric FeII concentrations in R2lox. FeII and MnII likely bind to the protein in a stepwise fashion, with FeII binding to site 2 initiating cofactor assembly. In R2c, however, heterometallic assembly is presumably achieved by the displacement of MnII by FeII at site 2. The divergent metal loading mechanisms are correlated with the putative in vivo functions of R2c and R2lox, and most likely with the intracellular MnII/FeII concentrations in the host organisms from which they were isolated.
