Abstract
Coproheme decarboxylases (ChdCs) are terminal enzymes of the coproporphyrin-dependent heme biosynthetic pathway. In this reaction, two propionate groups are cleaved from the redox-active iron-containing substrate, coproheme, to form vinyl groups of the heme b product. The two decarboxylation reactions proceed sequentially, and a redox-active three-propionate porphyrin, called monovinyl, monopropionate deuteroheme (MMD), is transiently formed as an intermediate. While the reaction mechanism for the first part of the redox reaction, which is initiated by hydrogen peroxide, has been elucidated in some detail, the second part of this reaction, starting from MMD, has not been studied. Here, we report the optimization of enzymatic MMD production by ChdC and purification by reversed-phase chromatography. With the obtained MMD, we were able to study the second part of heme b formation by actinobacterial ChdC from Corynebacterium diphtheriae, starting with Compound I formation upon the addition of hydrogen peroxide. The results indicate that the second part of the decarboxylation reaction is analogous to the first part, although somewhat slower, which is explained by differences in the active site architecture and its H-bonding network. The results are discussed in terms of known kinetic and structural data and help to fill some mechanistic gaps in the overall reaction catalyzed by ChdCs.

Abstract
![]()
Catalase-peroxidases
(KatGs) are unique bifunctional heme peroxidases
with an additional posttranslationally formed redox-active Met-Tyr-Trp
cofactor that is essential for catalase activity. On the basis of
studies of bacterial KatGs, controversial mechanisms of hydrogen peroxide
oxidation were proposed. The recent discovery of eukaryotic KatGs
with differing pH optima of catalase activity now allows us to scrutinize
those postulated reaction mechanisms. In our study, secreted KatG
from the fungus Magnaporthe grisea (MagKatG2) was used to analyze the role of a remote KatG-typical mobile
arginine that was shown to interact with the Met-Tyr-Trp adduct in
a pH-dependent manner in bacterial KatGs. Here we present crystal
structures of MagKatG2 at pH 3.0, 5.5, and 7.0 and
investigate the mobility of Arg461 by molecular dynamics simulation.
Data suggest that at pH ≥4.5 Arg461 mostly interacts with the
deprotonated adduct Tyr. Elimination of Arg461 by mutation to Ala
slightly increases the thermal stability but does not alter the active
site architecture or the kinetics of cyanide binding. However, the
variant Arg461Ala lost the wild-type-typical optimum of catalase activity
at pH 5.25 (kcat = 6450 s–1) but exhibits a broad plateau between pH 4.5 and 7.5 (kcat = 270 s–1 at pH 5.5). Moreover,
significant differences in the kinetics of interconversion of redox
intermediates of wild-type and mutant protein mixed with either peroxyacetic
acid or hydrogen peroxide are observed. These findings together with
published data from bacterial KatGs allow us to propose a role of
Arg461 in the H2O2 oxidation reaction of KatG.
