Abstract
Phototropins, a class of light-activated protein kinases, are essential for several blue light responses in plants and algae, including phototropism. These proteins contain two internal light, oxygen, and voltage sensitive (LOV) domains, which bind flavin chromophores and undergo a reversible photochemical formation of a cysteinyl-flavin adduct as part of the light sensing process. While the photodynamic properties of such photosensory domains are dictated by interactions between the chromophore and surrounding protein, more distant residues can play a significant role as well. Here we explore the role of the Phe434 residue in the photosensory response of the second LOV domain of Avena sativa phototropin 1 (AsLOV2), a model photochemical system for these LOV domains. Phe434 is more than 6 Å from the FMN chromophore in AsLOV2; nevertheless, an F434Y point mutation is likely to change several structural features of the chromophore binding site, as we demonstrate using molecular dynamics simulations. Transient absorption signals spanning 15 decades in time were compared for wild-type AsLOV2 and the F434Y mutant, showing that the latter has significantly altered photodynamics, including (i) a faster intersystem crossing leading to triplet formation on a nanosecond time scale, (ii) biphasic formation of adduct-state kinetics on the microsecond time scale, and (iii) greatly accelerated ground-state recovery kinetics on a second time scale. We present mechanistic models that link these spectroscopic differences to changes in the configuration of the critical cysteine residue and in the chromophore's accessibility to solvent and oxygen according to MD trajectories and purging experiments. Taken together, these results demonstrate the importance of residues outside the chromophore-binding pocket in modulating LOV domain photodynamics.

Abstract
Hexose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.5) from Hansenula polymorpha was found to exhibit a dual covalent association of FAD with His79 via an 8 alpha-histidyl linkage as well as a covalent association between Cys138 and C-6 of the isoalloxazine moiety of FAD. Spectral properties of the wild-type enzyme exhibited maxima at 364 nm and 437 nm as well as a distinct shoulder at 445 nm. An H79K mutant enzyme exhibited only one maximum at 437 nm. The difference absorption spectrum between an oxidized and a substrate-reduced enzyme preparation showed maxima at 360 nm and 445 nm corresponding to an apparent novel type of association. Hexose oxidase showed a low, pH-independent fluorescence at 525 nm when excited at 450 nm. Flavin was released from the holoenzyme by treatment with trypsin. Sequencing of the flavopeptide revealed two peptides comprising positions 74-91 and 132-157 associated with FAD in equimolar amounts. A homology model of hexose oxidase was constructed using the crystal structure of glucooligosaccharide oxidase from Acremonium strictum as template. The model placed both of the sequences found above in the close vicinity of the FAD cofactor, and suggests covalent bonds between both His79 and Cys138 and FAD, in accordance with the chemical evidence. Based on the results, hexose oxidase is identified as incorporating FAD with a double covalent association with His79 and Cys138 in the holoenzyme. A reaction mechanism involving the concerted action of Tyr488 and Asp409 in hexose oxidase is suggested as the initiator of the proton abstraction from the substrate molecule in the active site.

Abstract
The hmd gene of histamine dehydrogenase from Nocardioides simplex was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the resulting enzyme was purified to homogeneity. The purified recombinant enzyme is almost identical with the native enzyme in view of molecular weight and specific activity, and is stoichiometrically assembled with the three cofactors 6-S-cysteinyl FMN, 4Fe-4S cluster, and ADP.

Abstract
Histamine dehydrogenase (NSHADH) can be isolated from cultures of Nocardioides simplex grown with histamine as the sole nitrogen source. A previous report suggested that NSHADH might contain the quinone cofactor tryptophan tryptophyl quinone (TTQ). Here, the hdh gene encoding NSHADH is cloned from the genomic DNA of N. simplex, and the isolated enzyme is subjected to a full spectroscopic characterization. Protein sequence alignment shows NSHADH to be related to trimethylamine dehydrogenase (TMADH: EC 1.5.99.7), where the latter contains a bacterial ferredoxin-type [4Fe-4S] cluster and 6-S-cysteinyl FMN cofactor. NSHADH has no sequence similarity to any TTQ containing amine dehydrogenases. NSHADH contains 3.6+/-0.3 mol Fe and 3.7+/-0.2 mol acid labile S per subunit. A comparison of the UV/vis spectra of NSHADH and TMADH shows significant similarity. The EPR spectrum of histamine reduced NSHADH also supports the presence of the flavin and [4Fe-4S] cofactors. Importantly, we show that NSHADH has a narrow substrate specificity, oxidizing only histamine (K(m)=31+/-11 microM, k(cat)/K(m)=2.1 (+/-0.4)x10(5)M(-1)s(-1)), agmatine (K(m)=37+/-6 microM, k(cat)/K(m)=6.0 (+/-0.6)x10(4)M(-1)s(-1)), and putrescine (K(m)=1280+/-240 microM, k(cat)/K(m)=1500+/-200 M(-1)s(-1)). A kinetic characterization of the oxidative deamination of histamine by NSHADH is presented that includes the pH dependence of k(cat)/K(m) (histamine) and the measurement of a substrate deuterium isotope effect, (D)(k(cat)/K(m) (histamine))=7.0+/-1.8 at pH 8.5. k(cat) is also pH dependent and has a reduced substrate deuterium isotope of (D)(k(cat))=1.3+/-0.2.

Abstract
The interaction between the physiological electron transfer partners trimethylamine dehydrogenase (TMADH) and electron-transferring flavoprotein (ETF) from Methylophilus methylotrophus has been examined with particular regard to the proposal that the former protein "imprints" a conformational change on the latter. The results indicate that the absorbance change previously attributed to changes in the environment of the FAD of ETF upon binding to TMADH is instead caused by electron transfer from partially reduced, as-isolated TMADH to ETF. Prior treatment of the as-isolated enzyme with the oxidant ferricenium essentially abolishes the observed spectral change. Further, when the semiquinone form of ETF is used instead of the oxidized form, the mirror image of the spectral change seen with as-isolated TMADH and oxidized ETF is observed. This is attributable to a small amount of electron transfer in the reverse of the physiological direction. Kinetic determination of the dissociation constant and limiting rate constant for electron transfer within the complex of (reduced) TMADH with (oxidized) ETF is reconfirmed and discussed in the context of a recently proposed model for the interaction between the two proteins that involves "structural imprinting" of ETF.

Abstract
The trimethylamine dehydrogenase-electron transferring flavoprotein (TMADH.ETF) electron transfer complex has been studied by fluorescence and absorption spectroscopies. These studies indicate that a series of conformational changes occur during the assembly of the TMADH.ETF electron transfer complex and that the kinetics of assembly observed with mutant TMADH (Y442F/L/G) or ETF (alpha R237A) complexes are much slower than are the corresponding rates of electron transfer in these complexes. This suggests that electron transfer does not occur in the thermodynamically most favorable state (which takes too long to form), but that one or more metastable states (which are formed more rapidly) are competent in transferring electrons from TMADH to ETF. Additionally, fluorescence spectroscopy studies of the TMADH.ETF complex indicate that ETF undergoes a stable conformational change (termed structural imprinting) when it interacts transiently with TMADH to form a second, distinct, structural form. The mutant complexes compromise imprinting of ETF, indicating a dependence on the native interactions present in the wild-type complex. The imprinted form of semiquinone ETF exhibits an enhanced rate of electron transfer to the artificial electron acceptor, ferricenium. Overall molecular conformations as probed by small-angle x-ray scattering studies are indistinguishable for imprinted and non-imprinted ETF, suggesting that changes in structure likely involve confined reorganizations within the vicinity of the FAD. Our results indicate a series of conformational events occur during the assembly of the TMADH.ETF electron transfer complex, and that the properties of electron transfer proteins can be affected lastingly by transient interaction with their physiological redox partners. This may have significant implications for our understanding of biological electron transfer reactions in vivo, because ETF encounters TMADH at all times in the cell. Our studies suggest that caution needs to be exercised in extrapolating the properties of in vitro interprotein electron transfer reactions to those occurring in vivo.

Abstract
The family of flavoenzymes in which the flavin coenzyme redox cofactor is covalently attached to the protein through an amino acid side chain is covered in this review. Flavin-protein covalent linkages have been shown to exist through each of five known linkages: (a) 8alpha-N(3)-histidyl, (b) 8alpha-N(1)-histidyl, (c) 8alpha-S-cysteinyl, (d) 8alpha-O-tyrosyl, or (e) 6-S-cysteinyl with the flavin existing at either the flavin mononucleotide or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) levels. This class of enzymes is widely distributed in diverse biological systems and catalyzes a variety of enzymatic reactions. Current knowledge on the mechanism of covalent flavin attachment is discussed based on studies on the 8alpha-S-cysteinylFAD of monoamine oxidases A and B, as well as studies on other flavoenzymes. The evidence supports an autocatalytic quinone-methide mechanism of protein flavinylation. Proposals to explain the structural and mechanistic advantages of a covalent flavin linkage in flavoenzymes are presented. It is concluded that multiple factors are involved and include: (a) stabilization of the apoenzyme structure, (b) steric alignment of the cofactor in the active site to facilitate catalysis, and (c) modulation of the redox potential of the covalent flavin through electronic effects of 8alpha-substitution.

Abstract
Trimethylamine dehydrogenase from the pseudomonad Methylophilus methylotrophus has been examined using the technique of pulse radiolysis to rapidly introduce a single reducing equivalent into the enzyme. Using enzyme that has had its iron-sulfur center rendered redox-inert by prior reaction with ferricenium hexafluorophosphate, we determined the spectral change associated with formation of both the anionic and neutral forms that were generated at high and low pH, respectively, of the unique 6-cysteinyl-FMN of the enzyme. With native enzyme, electron transfer was observed within the radiolytically generated one-electron reduced enzyme but only at low pH (6.0). The kinetics and thermodynamics of this electron transfer in one-electron reduced enzyme may be compared with that studied previously in the two-electron reduced enzyme. In contrast to previous studies with two-electron reduced enzyme in which a pK(a) of approximately 8 was determined for the flavin semiquinone, in the one-electron reduced enzyme the semiquinone was not substantially protonated even at pH 6. 0. These results indicate that reduction of the iron-sulfur center of the enzyme significantly decreases the pK(a) of the flavin semiquinone of the active site. This provides further evidence, in conjunction with the strong magnetic interaction known to exist between the centers in the two-electron reduced enzyme, that the two redox-active centers in trimethylamine dehydrogenase are in intimate contact with one another in the active site of the enzyme.

Abstract
Tyr-169 in trimethylamine dehydrogenase is one component of a triad also comprising residues His-172 and Asp-267. Its role in catalysis and in mediating the magnetic interaction between FMN cofactor and the 4Fe/4S center have been investigated by stopped-flow and EPR spectroscopy of a Tyr-169 to Phe (Y169F) mutant of the enzyme. Tyr-169 is shown to play an important role in catalysis (mutation to phenylalanine reduces the limiting rate constant for bleaching of the active site flavin by about 100-fold) but does not serve as a general base in the course of catalysis. In addition, we are able to resolve two kinetically influential ionizations involved in both the reaction of free enzyme with free substrate (as reflected in klim/Kd), and in the breakdown of the Eox.S complex (as reflected in klim). In EPR studies of the Y169F mutant, it is found that the ability of the Y169F enzyme to form the spin-interacting state between flavin semiquinone and reduced 4Fe/4S center characteristic of wild-type enzyme is significantly compromised. The present results are consistent with Tyr-169 representing the ionizable group of pKa approximately 9.5, previously identified in pH-jump studies of electron transfer, whose deprotonation must occur for the spin-interacting state to be established.

Abstract
The reductive half-reaction of trimethylamine dehydrogenase with its physiological substrate trimethylamine has been examined by stopped-flow spectroscopy over the pH range 6.0-11.0, with attention focusing on the fastest of the three kinetic phases of the reaction, the flavin reduction/substrate oxidation process. As in previous work with the slow substrate diethylmethylamine, the reaction is found to consist of three well resolved kinetic phases. The observed rate constant for the fast phase exhibits hyperbolic dependence on the substrate concentration with an extrapolated limiting rate constant (klim) greater than 1000 s-1 at pH above 8.5, 10 degrees C. The kinetic parameter klim/Kd for the fast phase exhibits a bell-shaped pH dependence, with two pKa values of 9.3 +/- 0.1 and 10. 0 +/- 0.1 attributed to a basic residue in the enzyme active site and the ionization of the free substrate, respectively. The sigmoidal pH profile for klim gives a single pKa value of 7.1 +/- 0. 2. The observed rate constants for both the intermediate and slow phases are found to decrease as the substrate concentration is increased. The steady-state kinetic behavior of trimethylamine dehydrogenase with trimethylamine has also been examined, and is found to be adequately described without invoking a second, inhibitory substrate-binding site. The present results demonstrate that: (a) substrate must be protonated in order to bind to the enzyme; (b) an ionization group on the enzyme is involved in substrate binding; (c) an active site general base is involved, but not strictly required, in the oxidation of substrate; (d) the fast phase of the reaction with native enzyme is considerably faster than observed with enzyme isolated from Methylophilus methylotrophus that has been grown up on dimethylamine; and (e) a discrete inhibitory substrate-binding site is not required to account for excess substrate inhibition, the kinetic behavior of trimethylamine dehydrogenase can be readily explained in the context of the known properties of the enzyme.

Abstract
When p-cresol methylhydroxylase (PCMH) is expressed in its natural host Pseudomonas putida, or when the genes of the alpha and beta subunits of the enzyme are expressed together in the heterologous host Escherichia coli, flavin-adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is covalently attached to Tyr384 of the alpha subunit and the correct alpha 2 beta 2 form of the enzyme is assembled. The apoflavoprotein has been expressed in E. coli in the absence of the beta cytochrome c subunit and purified. While noncovalent FAD binding to apoflavoprotein in the absence of the cytochrome subunit could not be directly demonstrated, circumstantial evidence suggests that this indeed occurs. Covalent flavinylation requires one molecule each of FAD and cytochrome for each flavoprotein subunit. The flavinylation process leads to the 2-electron-reduced form of covalently bound FAD, and the resulting alpha 2 beta 2 enzyme is identical to wild-type PCMH. This work presents clear evidence that covalent flavinylation occurs by a self-catalytic mechanism; an external enzyme or chaperon is not required, nor is prior chemical activation of FAD or of the protein. This work is the first to define the basic chemistry of covalent flavinylation of an enzyme to produce the normal, active species, and confirms a long standing, postulated chemical mechanism of this process. It also demonstrates, for the first time, the absolute requirement for a partner subunit in the post-translational modification of a protein. It is proposed that the covalent FAD bond to Tyr384 and the phenolic portion of this Tyr are part of the essential electron transfer path from FAD to heme.

Abstract
The pH dependence of static optical/EPR spectra of trimethylamine dehydrogenase reduced to the level of two equivalents (TMADH2eq) has been examined and indicates the existence of three different states for this iron-sulfur flavoprotein. At pH 6, TMADH2eq exists principally in a form possessing flavin mononucleotide hydroquinone, with its iron-sulfur center oxidized. At pH 8, the enzyme principally contains flavin mononucleotide semiquinone and reduced iron-sulfur, but despite the proximity of the two centers to one another, their magnetic moments do not interact. At pH 10, TMADH2eq exhibits the EPR spectrum that is diagnostic of a previously characterized spin-interacting state in which the magnetic moments of the flavin semiquinone and reduced iron-sulfur center are strongly ferromagnetically coupled. The kinetics of the interconversion of these three states have been investigated using a pH jump technique in both H2O and D2O. The observed kinetics are consistent with a reaction mechanism involving sequential protonation/deprotonation and intramolecular electron transfer events. All reactions studied show a normal solvent kinetic isotope effect. Proton inventory analysis indicates that at least one proton is involved in the reaction between pH 6 and 8, which principally controls intramolecular electron transfer, whereas at least two protons are involved between pH 8 and 10, which principally control formation of the spin-interacting state. The results of these and previous studies indicate that for TMADH2eq, between pH 10 and 6, at least three protonation/deprotonation events are associated with intramolecular electron transfer and formation of the spin-interacting state, with estimated pK alpha values of 6.0, 8.0, and approximately 9.5. These pK alpha values are attributed to the flavin hydroquinone, flavin semiquinone, and an undesignated basic group on the protein, respectively.

Abstract
Sarcosine oxidase was purified to homogeneity from Corynebacterium sp. P-1, a soil organism isolated by a serial enrichment technique. The enzyme contains 1 mol of noncovalently bound flavin [flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)] plus 1 mol of covalently bound flavin [8 alpha-(N3-histidyl)-FAD] per mole of enzyme (Mr 168,000). The two flavins appear to have different roles in catalysis. The enzyme has an unusual subunit composition, containing four dissimilar subunits (Mr 100,000, 42,000, 20,000, and 6000). The same subunits are detected in Western blot analysis of cell extracts prepared in the presence of trichloroacetic acid, indicating that the subunits are a genuine property of the enzyme as it exists in vivo. The presence of both covalent and noncovalent flavin in a single enzyme is extremely unusual and has previously been observed only with a sarcosine oxidase from a soil Corynebacterium isolated in Japan. The enzymes exhibit many similarities but are distinguishable in electrophoretic studies. Immunologically, the enzymes are cross-reactive but not identical. The results indicate that the synthesis of a sarcosine oxidase containing both covalent and noncovalent flavin is not a particularly unusual event in corynebacteria.

Abstract
Trimethylamine hydrogenase isolated from bacterium W3A1 grown on dimethylamine was of variable, but low specific activity and had modified spectral properties. Chemical analyses for Fe, S and P indicated that the [4Fe-4S] clusters of the modified enzyme are intact and that the covalently bound flavin is probably present, but in modified form. A peptide with absorbance maximum at 358 nm and fluorescence excitation and emission maxima in dimethylformamide at 358 nm and 495 nm, respectively, was isolated by gel chromatography and HPLC of tryptic peptides of acetamidylated, modified trimethylamine dehydrogenase. These spectral properties are similar to those of 4a- or 5a-substituted flavins and suggest that the enzyme had been modified by in vivo reaction with a suicide inhibitor. This inhibitor, or a compound giving rise to it, seems to be present in a commercial source of dimethylamine.
