Abstract
The dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin (DHP), first isolated from the coelom of a marine terebellid polychaete, Amphitrite ornata, is an example of a multi-functional heme enzyme. Long known for its reversible oxygen (O2) binding, further studies have established DHP activity as a peroxidase, oxidase, oxygenase, and peroxygenase. The specific reactivity depends on substrate binding at various internal and external binding sites. This study focuses on comparison of the binding and reactivity of the substrate 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) in the isoforms DHPA and B. There is strong interest in the degradation of DCP because of its wide use in the chemical industry, presence in waste streams, and particular reactivity to form dioxins, some of the most toxic compounds known. The catalytic efficiency is 3.5 times higher for DCP oxidation in DHPB than DHPA by a peroxidase mechanism. However, DHPA and B both show self-inhibition even at modest concentrations of DCP. This phenomenon is analogous to the self-inhibition of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) at higher concentration. The activation energies of the electron transfer steps in DCP in DHPA and DHPB are 19.3 ± 2.5 and 24.3 ± 3.2 kJ/mol, respectively, compared to 37.2 ± 6.5 kJ/mol in horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which may be a result of the more facile electron transfer of an internally bound substrate in DHPA. The x-ray crystal structure of DHPA bound with DCP determined at 1.48 Å resolution, shows tight substrate binding inside the heme pocket of DHPA (PDB 8EJN). This research contributes to the studies of DHP as a naturally occurring bioremediation enzyme capable of oxidizing a wide range of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
The multifunctional catalytic globin dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the marine worm Amphitrite ornata was shown to catalyze the H2O2-dependent oxidation of 2,4- and 2,6-dihalophenols (DXP; X = F, Cl, Br). Product identification by LC-MS revealed multiple monomeric products with varying degrees of oxidation and/or dehalogenation, as well as oligomers with n up to 6. Mechanistic and 18O-labeling studies demonstrated sequential dihalophenol oxidation via peroxidase and peroxygenase activities. Binding studies established that 2,4-DXP (X = Cl, Br) have the highest affinities of any known DHP substrate. X-ray crystallography identified different binding positions for 2,4- and 2,6-DXP substrates in the hydrophobic distal pocket of DHP. Correlation between the number of halogens and the substrate binding orientation revealed a halogen-dependent binding motif for mono- (4-halophenol), di- (2,4- and 2,6-dihalophenol) and trihalophenols (2,4,6-trihalopenol). Taken together, the findings here on dihalophenol reactivity with DHP advance our understanding of how these compounds bridge the inhibitory and oxidative functions of their mono- and trihalophenol counterparts, respectively, and provide further insight into the protein structure-function paradigm relevant to multifunctional catalytic globins in comparison to their monofunctional analogs.

Abstract
As multifunctional catalytic hemoglobins, dehaloperoxidase isoenzymes A and B (DHP A and B) are among the most versatile hemoproteins in terms of activities displayed. The ability of DHP to bind over twenty different substrates in the distal pocket might appear to resemble the promiscuousness of monooxygenase enzymes, yet there are identifiable substrate-specific interactions that can steer the type of oxidation (O-atom vs. electron transfer) that occurs inside the DHP distal pocket. Here, we have investigated the DHP A(V59W) mutant in order to probe the limits of conformational flexibility in the distal pocket as it relates to the genesis of this substrate-dependent activity differentiation. The X-ray crystal structure of the metaquo DHP A(V59W) mutant (PDB 3K3U) and the V59W mutant in complex with fluoride [denoted as DHP A(V59W-F)] (PDB 7MNH) show significant mobility of the tryptophan in the distal pocket, with two parallel conformations having W59-N[Formula: see text] H-bonded to a heme-bound ligand (H2O or F[Formula: see text], and another conformation [observed only in DHP A(V59W-F)] that brings W59 sufficiently close to the heme as to preclude axial ligand binding. UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopic studies show that DHP A(V59W) is 5-coordinate high spin (5cHS) at pH 5 and 6-coordinate high spin (6cHS) at pH 7, whereas DHP A(V59W-F) is 6cHS from pH 5 to 7. Enzyme assays confirm robust peroxidase activity at pH 5, but complete loss of activity at pH 7. We find no evidence that tryptophan plays a role in the oxidation mechanism ([Formula: see text]. radical formation). Instead, the data reveal a new mechanism of DHP inhibition, namely a shift towards a non-reactive form by OH[Formula: see text] ligation to the heme-Fe that is strongly stabilized (presumably through H-bonding interactions) by the presence of W59 in the distal cavity.

Abstract
Fluorochemicals are a widely distributed class of compounds and have been utilized across a wide range of industries for decades. Given the environmental toxicity and adverse health threats of some fluorochemicals, the development of new methods for their decomposition is significant to public health. However, the carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is among the most chemically robust bonds; consequently, the degradation of fluorinated hydrocarbons is exceptionally difficult. Here, metalloenzymes that catalyze the cleavage of this chemically challenging bond are reviewed. These enzymes include histidine-ligated heme-dependent dehaloperoxidase and tyrosine hydroxylase, thiolate-ligated heme-dependent cytochrome P450, and four nonheme oxygenases, namely, tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent hydroxylase, Rieske dioxygenase, and thiol dioxygenase. While much of the literature regarding the aforementioned enzymes highlights their ability to catalyze C-H bond activation and functionalization, in many cases, the C-F bond cleavage has been shown to occur on fluorinated substrates. A copper-dependent laccase-mediated system representing an unnatural radical defluorination approach is also described. Detailed discussions on the structure-function relationships and catalytic mechanisms provide insights into biocatalytic defluorination, which may inspire drug design considerations and environmental remediation of halogenated contaminants.

Abstract
The use of oxidoreductases as biocatalysts in the syntheses of functionalized, monomeric pyrroles has been a challenge owing to, among a number of factors, undesired polypyrrole formation. Here, we have investigated the ability of dehaloperoxidase (DHP), the coelomic hemoglobin from the terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata, to catalyze the H2O2-dependent oxidation of pyrroles as a new class of substrate for this enzyme. Substrate oxidation was observed for all compounds employed (pyrrole, N-methylpyrrole, 2-methylpyrrole, 3-methylpyrrole and 2,5-dimethylpyrrole) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Using pyrrole as a representative substrate, only a single oxidation product, 4-pyrrolin-2-one, was observed, and notably without formation of polypyrrole. Reactivity could be initiated from all three biologically relevant oxidation states for this catalytic globin: ferric, ferrous and oxyferrous. Isotope labeling studies determined that the O-atom incorporated into the 4-pyrrolin-2-one product was derived exclusively from H2O2, indicative of a peroxygenase mechanism. Consistent with this observation, single- and double-mixing stopped-flow UV-visible spectroscopic studies supported Compound I, but not Compounds ES or II, as the catalytically-relevant ferryl intermediate involved in pyrrole oxidation. Electrophilic addition of the ferryl oxygen to pyrrole is proposed as the mechanism of O-atom transfer. The results demonstrate the breadth of chemical reactivity afforded by dehaloperoxidase, and provide further evidence for establishing DHP as a multifunctional globin with practical applications as a biocatalyst.

Abstract
In this research, we studied the phototransformation of 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) by UV irradiation in aqueous solution. Effects of typical environmental factors (i.e., pH and the initial concentration of TBP, Fe3+ and NO2-) were also investigated. Results showed that the transformation process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The transformation rate constant of TBP decreased with increasing initial concentration and increased with increasing Fe3+ and NO2- concentrations as well as increasing pH. Ten photoproducts were tentatively identified after irradiation of TBP, according to HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS and GC/MS analysis. Among them, two dihydroxylated dibromobenzene compounds (di-OH-DBB) were found to be predominant over the reaction time, indicating that hydrodebromination of TBP could be the main phototransformation mechanism. In addition, the identification of eight OH-PBDEs and di-OH-PBBs suggested that photodimerization might also be a reaction pathway for TBP photochemical reactions.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from Amphitrite ornata, having been shown to catalyze the hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation of trihalophenols to dihaloquinones, is the first oxygen binding globin that possesses a biologically relevant peroxidase activity. The catalytically competent species in DHP appears to be Compound ES, a reactive intermediate that contains both a ferryl heme and a tyrosyl radical. By simulating the EPR spectra of DHP activated by H2O2, Thompson et al. (Thompson, M. K., Franzen, S., Ghiladi, R. A., Reeder, B. J., and Svistunenko, D. A. (2010) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132, 17501-17510) proposed that two different radicals, depending on the pH, are formed, one located on either Tyr-34 or Tyr-28 and the other on Tyr-38. To provide additional support for these simulation-based assignments and to deduce the role(s) that tyrosyl radicals play in DHP, stopped-flow UV-visible and rapid-freeze-quench EPR spectroscopic methods were employed to study radical formation in DHP when three tyrosine residues, Tyr-28, Tyr-34, and Tyr-38, were replaced either individually or in combination with phenylalanines. The results indicate that radicals form on all three tyrosines in DHP. Evidence for the formation of DHP Compound I in several tyrosine mutants was obtained. Variants that formed Compound I showed an increase in the catalytic rate for substrate oxidation but also an increase in heme bleaching, suggesting that the tyrosines are necessary for protecting the enzyme from oxidizing itself. This protective role of tyrosines is likely an evolutionary adaptation allowing DHP to avoid self-inflicted damage in the oxidative environment.

Abstract
The widespread use of chlorinated phenols (CPs) as a wood preservative has led to numerous contaminated sawmill sites. However, it remains challenging to assess the extent of in situ degradation of CPs. We evaluated the use of compound-specific chlorine and carbon isotope analysis (Cl- and C-CSIA) to assess CP biotransformation. In a laboratory system, we measured isotopic fractionation during oxidative 2,4,6-trichlorophenol dechlorination by representative soil enzymes (C. fumago chloroperoxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and laccase from T. versicolor). Using a mathematical model, the validity of the Rayleigh approach to evaluate apparent kinetic isotope effects (AKIE) was confirmed. A small but significant Cl-AKIE of 1.0022 ± 0.0006 was observed for all three enzymes, consistent with a reaction pathway via a cationic radical species. For carbon, a slight inverse isotope effect was observed (C-AKIE = 0.9945 ± 0.0019). This fractionation behavior is clearly distinguishable from reported reductive dechlorination mechanisms. Based on these results we then assessed degradation and apportioned different types of technical CP mixtures used at two former sawmill sites. To our knowledge, this is the first study that makes use of two-element CSIA to study sources and transformation of CPs in the environment.

Abstract
A strain Bacillus sp. GZT capable of debrominating and mineralizing 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) was isolated and characterized by morphological observation, biochemical and physiological identification as well as 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Biodegradation kinetics experiments demonstrated that initial TBP concentration had a predominant effect on degradation efficiency. Within 120h, the highest TBP degradation and debromination efficiencies were up to 93.2% and 89.3%, respectively, under the optimum condition. Ten metabolic intermediates including five brominated compounds, three oxidative products and two cellular metabolites were all identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer, and six key intermediates were doubly validated by authentic standards. The proposed biodegradation mechanism inferred that reductive debromination as a major degradation pathway could simultaneously take place at ortho- and para-positions on TBP, while methylated debromination was also found as a minor degradation pathway during this process. Within 148h degradation, nearly one-third of 3mg/L TBP could be completely mineralized.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP), discovered in the marine terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata, is the first heme-containing globin with a peroxidase activity. The sequence and crystal structure of DHP argue that it evolved from an ancient O(2) transport and storage globin. Thus, DHP retains an oxygen carrier function but also has the ability to degrade halophenol toxicants in its living environment. Sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) in the ferric state has a peroxidase activity ∼10 times lower than that of DHP. The catalytic activity enhancement observed in DHP appears to have been generated mainly by subtle changes in the positions of the proximal and distal histidine residues that appeared during DHP evolution. Herein, we report investigations into the mechanism of action of DHP derived from examination of "peroxidase-like" Mb mutants and "Mb-like" DHP mutants. The dehalogenation ability of wild-type Mb is augmented in the peroxidase-like Mb mutants (F43H/H64L, G65T, and G65I Mb) but attenuated in the Mb-like T56G DHP variant. X-ray crystallographic data show that the distal His residues in G65T Mb and G65I are positioned ∼0.3 and ∼0.8 Å, respectively, farther from the heme iron compared to that in the wild-type protein. The H93K/T95H double mutant Mb with the proximal His shifted to the "DHP-like" position has an increased peroxidase activity. In addition, a better dehaloperoxidase (M86E DHP) was generated by introducing a negative charge near His89 to enhance the imidazolate character of the proximal His. Finally, only minimal differences in dehalogenation activities are seen among the exogenous ligand-free DHP, the acetate-bound DHP, and the distal site blocker L100F DHP mutant. Thus, we conclude that binding of halophenols in the internal binding site (i.e., distal cavity) is not essential for catalysis. This work provides a foundation for a new structure-function paradigm for peroxidases and for the molecular evolution of the dual-function enzyme DHP.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata is a bifunctional enzyme that possesses both hemoglobin and peroxidase activities. The bifunctional nature of DHP as a globin peroxidase appears to be at odds with the traditional starting oxidation state for each individual activity. Namely, reversible oxygen binding is only mediated via a ferrous heme in globins, and peroxidase activity is initiated from ferric centers and to the exclusion of the oxyferrous oxidation state from the peroxidase cycle. Thus, to address what appears to be a paradox, herein we report the details of our investigations into the DHP catalytic cycle when initiated from the deoxy- and oxyferrous states using biochemical assays, stopped-flow UV-visible, and rapid-freeze-quench electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies, and anaerobic methods. We demonstrate the formation of Compound II directly from deoxyferrous DHP B upon its reaction with hydrogen peroxide and show that this occurs both in the presence and in the absence of trihalophenol. Prior to the formation of Compound II, we have identified a new species that we have preliminarily attributed to a ferrous-hydroperoxide precursor that undergoes heterolysis to generate the aforementioned ferryl intermediate. Taken together, the results demonstrate that the oxyferrous state in DHP is a peroxidase competent starting species, and an updated catalytic cycle for DHP is proposed in which the ferric oxidation state is not an obligatory starting point for the peroxidase catalytic cycle of dehaloperoxidase. The data presented herein provide a link between the peroxidase and oxygen transport activities, which furthers our understanding of how this bifunctional enzyme is able to unite its two inherent functions in one system.

Abstract
The crystal structures of the dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin from A. ornata (DHP A) each report a crystallographic dimer in the unit cell. Yet, the largest dimer interface observed is 450 Å(2), an area significantly smaller than the typical value of 1200-2000 Å(2) and in contrast to the extensive interface region of other known dimeric hemoglobins. To examine the oligomerization state of DHP A in solution, we used gel permeation by fast protein liquid chromatography and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Gel permeation experiments demonstrate that DHP A elutes as a monomer (15.5 kDa) and can be separated from green fluorescent protein, which has a molar mass of 27 kDa, near the 31 kDa expected for the DHP A dimer. By SAXS, we found that DHP A is primarily monomeric in solution, but with a detectable level of dimer (~10%), under all conditions studied up to a protein concentration of 3.0 mM. These concentrations are likely 10-100-fold lower than the K(d) for dimer formation. Additionally, there was no significant effect either on the overall conformation of DHP A or its monomer-dimer equilibrium upon addition of the DHP A inhibitor, 4-iodophenol.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the annelid Amphitrite ornata is a catalytically active hemoglobin-peroxidase that possesses a unique internal binding cavity in the distal pocket above the heme. The previously published crystal structure of DHP shows 4-iodophenol bound internally. This led to the proposal that the internal binding site is the active site for phenol oxidation. However, the native substrate for DHP is 2,4,6-tribromophenol, and all attempts to bind 2,4,6-tribromophenol in the internal site under physiological conditions have failed. Herein, we show that the binding of 4-halophenols in the internal pocket inhibits enzymatic function. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DHP has a unique two-site competitive binding mechanism in which the internal and external binding sites communicate through two conformations of the distal histidine of the enzyme, resulting in nonclassical competitive inhibition. The same distal histidine conformations involved in DHP function regulate oxygen binding and release during transport and storage by hemoglobins and myoglobins. This work provides further support for the hypothesis that DHP possesses an external binding site for substrate oxidation, as is typical for the peroxidase family of enzymes.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from Amphitrite ornata is a heme protein that can function both as a hemoglobin and as a peroxidase. This report describes the use of 77 K cryoreduction EPR/ENDOR techniques to study both functions of DHP. Cryoreduced oxyferrous [Fe(II)-O(2)] DHP exhibits two EPR signals characteristic of a peroxoferric [Fe(III)-O(2)(2-)] heme species, reflecting the presence of conformational substates in the oxyferrous precursor. (1)H ENDOR spectroscopy of the cryogenerated substates shows that H-bonding interactions between His N(ε)H and heme-bound O(2) in these conformers are similar to those in the β-chain of oxyferrous hemoglobin A (HbA) and oxyferrous myoglobin, respectively. Decay of cryogenerated peroxoferric heme DHP intermediates upon annealing at temperatures above 180 K is accompanied by the appearance of a new paramagnetic species with an axial EPR signal with g(⊥) = 3.75 and g(∥) = 1.96, characteristic of an S = 3/2 spin state. This species is assigned to Compound I (Cpd I), in which a porphyrin π-cation radical is ferromagnetically coupled with an S = 1 ferryl [Fe(IV)═O] ion. This species was also trapped by rapid freeze-quench of the ambient-temperature reaction mixture of ferric [Fe(III)] DHP and H(2)O(2). However, in the latter case Cpd I is reduced very rapidly by a nearby tyrosine to form Cpd ES [(Fe(IV)═O)(porphyrin)/Tyr(•)]. Addition of the substrate analogue 2,4,6-trifluorophenol (F(3)PhOH) suppresses formation of the Cpd I intermediate during annealing of cryoreduced oxyferrous DHP at 190 K but has no effect on the spectroscopic properties of the remaining cryoreduced oxyferrous DHP intermediates and kinetics of their decay. These observations indicate that substrate (i) binds to oxyferrous DHP outside of the distal pocket and (ii) can reduce Cpd I to Cpd II [Fe(IV)═O]. These assumptions are also supported by the observation that F(3)PhOH has only a small effect on the EPR properties of radiolytically cryooxidized and cryoreduced ferrous [Fe(II)] DHP. EPR spectra of cryoreduced ferrous DHP disclose the multiconformational nature of the ferrous DHP precursor. The observation and characterization of Cpds I, II, and ES in the absence and in the presence of F(3)PhOH provides definitive evidence of a mechanism involving consecutive one-electron steps and clarifies the role of all intermediates formed during turnover.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata is a bifunctional enzyme that possesses both hemoglobin and peroxidase activities. Of the two DHP isoenzymes identified to date, much of the recent focus has been on DHP A, whereas very little is known pertaining to the activity, substrate specificity, mechanism of function, or spectroscopic properties of DHP B. Herein, we report the recombinant expression and purification of DHP B, as well as the details of our investigations into its catalytic cycle using biochemical assays, stopped-flow UV-visible, resonance Raman, and rapid freeze-quench electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies, and spectroelectrochemistry. Our experimental design reveals mechanistic insights and kinetic descriptions of the dehaloperoxidase mechanism which have not been previously reported for isoenzyme A. Namely, we demonstrate a novel reaction pathway in which the products of the oxidative dehalogenation of trihalophenols (dihaloquinones) are themselves capable of inducing formation of oxyferrous DHP B, and an updated catalytic cycle for DHP is proposed. We further demonstrate that, unlike the traditional monofunctional peroxidases, the oxyferrous state in DHP is a peroxidase-competent starting species, which suggests that the ferric oxidation state may not be an obligatory starting point for the enzyme. The data presented herein provide a link between the peroxidase and oxygen transport activities which furthers our understanding of how this bifunctional enzyme is able to unite its two inherent functions in one system.

Abstract
X-ray crystal structures of the metcyano form of dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin (DHP A) fromAmphitrite ornata(DHPCN) and the C73S mutant of DHP A (C73SCN) were determined using synchrotron radiation in order to further investigate the geometry of diatomic ligands coordinated to the heme iron. The DHPCN structure was also determined using a rotating-anode source. The structures show evidence of photoreduction of the iron accompanied by dissociation of bound cyanide ion (CN−) that depend on the intensity of the X-ray radiation and the exposure time. The electron density is consistent with diatomic molecules located in two sites in the distal pocket of DHPCN. However, the identities of the diatomic ligands at these two sites are not uniquely determined by the electron-density map. Consequently, density functional theory calculations were conducted in order to determine whether the bond lengths, angles and dissociation energies are consistent with bound CN−or O2in the iron-bound site. In addition, molecular-dynamics simulations were carried out in order to determine whether the dynamics are consistent with trapped CN−or O2in the second site of the distal pocket. Based on these calculations and comparison with a previously determined X-ray crystal structure of the C73S–O2form of DHP [de Serranoet al.(2007),Acta Cryst.D63, 1094–1101], it is concluded that CN−is gradually replaced by O2as crystalline DHP is photoreduced at 100 K. The ease of photoreduction of DHP A is consistent with the reduction potential, but suggests an alternative activation mechanism for DHP A compared with other peroxidases, which typically have reduction potentials that are 0.5 V more negative. The lability of CN−at 100 K suggests that the distal pocket of DHP A has greater flexibility than most other hemoglobins.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin (DHP A) is a dual function protein found in the terrebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata. A. ornata is an annelid, which inhabits estuary mudflats with other polychaetes that secrete a range of toxic brominated phenols. DHP A is capable of binding and oxidatively dehalogenating some of these compounds. DHP A possesses the ability to bind halophenols in a distinct, internal distal binding pocket. Since its discovery, the distal binding pocket has been reported as the sole binding location for halophenols; however, data herein suggest a distinction between inhibitor (monohalogenated phenol) and substrate (trihalogenated phenol) binding locations. Backbone (13)Calpha, (13)Cbeta, carbonyl (13)C, amide (1)H, and amide (15)N resonance assignments have been made, and various halophenols were titrated into the protein. (1)H-(15)N HSQC experiments were collected at stoichiometric intervals during each titration, and binding locations specific for mono- and trihalogenated phenols have been identified. Titration of monohalogenated phenol induced primary changes around the distal binding pocket, while introduction of trihalogenated phenols created alterations of the distal histidine and the local area surrounding W120, a structural region that corresponds to a possible dimer interface region recently observed in X-ray crystal structures of DHP A.

Abstract
The enzymatic globin, dehaloperoxidase (DHP), from the terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata is designed to catalyze the oxidative dehalogenation of halophenol substrates. In this study, the ability of DHP to catalyze this reaction by a mechanism involving two consecutive one-electron steps via the normal order of addition of the oxidant cosubstrate (H(2)O(2)) before organic substrate [2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP)] is demonstrated. Specifically, 1 equiv of H(2)O(2) will fully convert 1 equiv of TCP to 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, implicating the role of multiple ferryl [Fe(IV)O] species. A significant amount of heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond of cumene hydroperoxide, consistent with transient formation of a Compound I [Fe(IV)O/porphyrin pi-cation radical] species, is observed upon its reaction with ferric DHP. In addition, a more stable high-valent Fe(IV)O-containing DHP intermediate [Compound II (Cpd II) or Compound ES] is characterized by UV-visible absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Spectral similarities are seen between this intermediate and horse heart myoglobin Cpd II. It is also shown in single-turnover experiments that the DHP Fe(IV)O intermediate is an active oxidant in halophenol oxidative dehalogenation. Furthermore, reaction of DHP with 4-chlorophenol leads to a dimeric product. The results presented herein are consistent with a normal peroxidase order of addition of the oxidant cosubstrate (H(2)O(2)) followed by organic substrate (TCP) and indicate that the enzymatic mechanism of DHP-catalyzed oxidative halophenol dehalogenation involves two consecutive one-electron steps with a dissociable radical intermediate.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP), the oxygen transport hemoglobin from the terebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata, is the first globin identified to possess a biologically relevant peroxidase activity. DHP has been shown to oxidize trihalophenols to dihaloquinones in a dehalogenation reaction that uses hydrogen peroxide as a substrate. Herein, we demonstrate that the first detectable intermediate following the addition of hydrogen peroxide to ferric DHP contains both a ferryl heme and a tyrosyl radical, analogous to Compound ES of cytochrome c peroxidase. Furthermore, we provide a detailed kinetic description for the reaction of preformed DHP Compound ES with the substrate 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and demonstrate the catalytic competency of this intermediate in generating the product 2,4-dichloroquinone. Using rapid-freeze-quench electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, we detected a g approximately 2.0058 signal confirming the presence of a protein radical in DHP Compound ES. In the absence of substrate, DHP Compound ES evolves to a new species, Compound RH, which is functionally unique to dehaloperoxidase. We propose that this intermediate plays a protective role against heme bleaching. While unreactive toward further oxidation, Compound RH can be reduced and subsequently bind dioxygen, generating oxyferrous DHP, which may represent the catalytic link between peroxidase and oxygen transport activities in this bifunctional protein.

Abstract
In order to interpret the observed isotopic fractionation it is necessaryto understand its relationship with the isotope effect(s) on steps that occur during the conversion of the initial reactant to the final product. We examine this relationship from the biochemical point of view and elaborate on the consequences of the assumptions that it is based on. We illustrate the discrepancies between theoretical and experimental interpretation of kinetic isotope effects on examples of dehalogenation reactions that occur at an aromatic carbon atom. The examples include 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase-catalyzed conversion of 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA to 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA, dehaloperoxidase-catalyzed conversion of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol to 2,6-dichloroquinone, and spontaneous hydrolysis of atrazine at pH 12. For this latter reaction we have measured the chlorine kinetic isotope effect and estimated its value theoretically at the DFT level of theory. Results of chlorine kinetic isotope effects suggest that the studied dechlorination reactions proceed in a single step with significant weakening of the carbon-chlorine bond in the transition state.
