Abstract
The family of flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) plays an important role in the scavenging and detoxification of both molecular oxygen and nitric oxide. Using electrons from a flavin mononucleotide cofactor molecular oxygen is reduced to water and nitric oxide is reduced to nitrous oxide and water. While the mechanism for NO reduction in FDPs has been studied extensively, there is very little information available about O2 reduction. Here we use hybrid density functional theory (DFT) to study the mechanism for O2 reduction in FDPs. An important finding is that a proton coupled reduction is needed after the O2 molecule has bound to the diferrous diiron active site and before the OO bond can be cleaved. This is in contrast to the mechanism for NO reduction, where both NN bond formation and NO bond cleavage occurs from the same starting structure without any further reduction, according to both experimental and computational results. This computational result for the O2 reduction mechanism should be possible to evaluate experimentally. Another difference between the two substrates is that the actual OO bond cleavage barrier is low, and not involved in rate-limiting the reduction process, while the barrier connected with bond cleavage/formation in the NO reduction process is of similar height as the rate-limiting steps. We suggest that these results may be part of the explanation for the generally higher activity for O2 reduction as compared to NO reduction in most FDPs. Comparisons are also made to the O2 reduction reaction in the family of heme‑copper oxidases.

Martins MC, Alves CM, Teixeira M, Folgosa F. The flavodiiron protein from Syntrophomonas wolfei has five domains and acts both as an NADH:O 2 or an NADH:H 2 O 2 oxidoreductase. FEBS J 2024; 291:1275-1294. [PMID: 38129989 DOI: 10.1111/febs.17040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) are a family of enzymes with a significant role in O2 /H2 O2 and/or NO detoxification through the reduction of these species to H2 O or N2 O, respectively. All FDPs contain a minimal catalytic unit of two identical subunits, each one having a metallo-β-lactamase-like domain harboring the catalytic diiron site, and a flavodoxin-like domain. However, more complex and diverse arrangements in terms of domains are found in this family, of which the class H enzymes are among the most complex. One of such FDPs is encoded in the genome of the anaerobic bacterium Syntrophomonas wolfei subsp. wolfei str. Goettingen G311. Besides the core domains, this protein is predicted to have three additional ones after the flavodoxin core domain: two short-chain rubredoxins and a NAD(P)H:rubredoxin oxidoreductase-like domain. This enzyme, FDP_H, was produced and characterized and the presence of the predicted cofactors was investigated by a set of biochemical and spectroscopic methodologies. Syntrophomonas wolfei FDP_H exhibited a remarkable O2 reduction activity with a kcat = 52.0 ± 1.2 s-1 and a negligible NO reduction activity (~ 100 times lower than with O2 ), with NADH as an electron donor, that is, it is an oxygen-selective FDP. In addition, this enzyme showed the highest turnover value for H2 O2 reduction (kcat = 19.1 ± 2.2 s-1 ) ever observed among FDPs. Kinetic studies of site-directed mutants of iron-binding cysteines at the two rubredoxin domains demonstrated the essential role of these centers since their absence leads to a significant decrease or even abolishment of O2 and H2 O2 reduction activities.

Abstract
Flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs) equip pathogens with resistance to nitric oxide (NO), an important immune defense agent in mammals, allowing these pathogens to proliferate in the human body, potentially causing chronic infections. Understanding the mechanism of how FNORs mediate the reduction of NO contributes to the greater goal of developing new therapeutic approaches against drug-resistant strains. Recent density functional theory calculations suggest that a second coordination sphere (SCS) tyrosine residue provides a hydrogen bond that is critical for the reduction of NO to N2O at the active site of FNORs [J. Lu, B. Bi, W. Lai and H. Chen, Origin of Nitric Oxide Reduction Activity in Flavo-Diiron NO Reductase: Key Roles of the Second Coordination Sphere, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2019, 58, 3795-3799]. Specifically, this H-bond stabilizes the hyponitrite intermediate and reduces the energetic barrier for the N-N coupling step. At the same time, the role of the Fe⋯Fe distance and its effect on the N-N coupling step has not been fully investigated. In this study, we equipped the H[BPMP] (= 2,6-bis[[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl]-4-methylphenol) ligand with SCS amide groups and investigated the corresponding diiron complexes with 0-2 bridging acetate ligands. These amide groups can form hydrogen bonds with the bridging acetate ligand(s) and potentially the coordinated NO groups in these model complexes. At the same time, by changing the number of bridging acetate ligands, we can systematically vary the Fe⋯Fe distance. The reactivity of these complexes with NO was then investigated, and the formation of stable iron(II)-NO complexes was observed. Upon one-electron reduction, these NO complexes form Dinitrosyl Iron Complexes (DNICs), which were further characterized using IR and EPR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria employ iron-containing enzymes to detoxify nitric oxide (NO•) produced by mammals as part of their immune response. Two classes of diiron proteins, flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs) and the hemerythrin-like proteins from mycobacteria (HLPs), are upregulated in bacteria in response to an increased local NO• concentration. While FNORs reduce NO• to nitrous oxide (N2O), the HLPs have been found to either reduce nitrite to NO• (YtfE), or oxidize NO• to nitrite (Mka-HLP). Various structural and functional models of the diiron site in FNORs have been developed over the years. However, the NO• oxidation reactivity of Mka-HLP has yet to be replicated with a synthetic complex. Compared to the FNORs, the coordination environment of the diiron site in Mka-HLP contains one less carboxylate ligand and, therefore, is expected to be more electron-poor. Herein, we synthesized a new diiron complex that models the electron-poor coordination environment of the Mka-HLP diiron site. The diferrous precursor FeIIFeII reacts with NO• to form a diiron dinitrosyl species ({FeNO}72), which is in equilibrium with a mononitrosyl diiron species (FeII{FeNO}7) in solution. Both complexes can be isolated and fully characterized. However, only oxidation of {FeNO}72 produced nitrite in high yield (71%). Our study provides the first model that reproduces the NO• oxidase reactivity of Mka-HLP and suggests intermediacy of an {FeNO}6/{FeNO}7 species.

Abstract
Non-heme iron halogenases (NHFe-Hals) catalyze the direct insertion of a chloride/bromide ion at an unactivated carbon position using a high-valent haloferryl intermediate. Despite more than a decade of structural and mechanistic characterization, how NHFe-Hals preferentially bind specific anions and substrates for C-H functionalization remains unknown. Herein, using lysine halogenating BesD and HalB enzymes as model systems, we demonstrate strong positive cooperativity between anion and substrate binding to the catalytic pocket. Detailed computational investigations indicate that a negatively charged glutamate hydrogen-bonded to iron's equatorial-aqua ligand acts as an electrostatic lock preventing both lysine and anion binding in the absence of the other. Using a combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy, binding affinity studies, stopped-flow kinetics investigations, and biochemical assays, we explore the implication of such active site assembly towards chlorination, bromination, and azidation reactivities. Overall, our work highlights previously unknown features regarding how anion-substrate pair binding govern reactivity of iron halogenases that are crucial for engineering next-generation C-H functionalization biocatalysts.

Abstract
Transition-metal-mediated reductive coupling of nitric oxide (NO(g)) to nitrous oxide (N2O(g)) has significance across the fields of industrial chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and environmental health. Herein, we elucidate a density functional theory (DFT)-supplemented mechanism of NO(g) reductive coupling at a copper-ion center, [(tmpa)CuI(MeCN)]+ (1) {tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine}. At -110 °C in EtOH (<-90 °C in MeOH), exposing 1 to NO(g) leads to a new binuclear hyponitrite intermediate [{(tmpa)CuII}2(μ-N2O22-)]2+ (2), exhibiting temperature-dependent irreversible isomerization to the previously characterized κ2-O,O'-trans-[(tmpa)2Cu2II(μ-N2O22-)]2+ (OOXray) complex. Complementary stopped-flow kinetic analysis of the reaction in MeOH reveals an initial mononitrosyl species [(tmpa)Cu(NO)]+ (1-(NO)) that binds a second NO molecule, forming a dinitrosyl species [(tmpa)CuII(NO)2] (1-(NO)2). The decay of 1-(NO)2 requires an available starting complex 1 to form a dicopper-dinitrosyl species hypothesized to be [{(tmpa)Cu}2(μ-NO)2]2+ (D) bearing a diamond-core motif, en route to the formation of hyponitrite intermediate 2. In contrast, exposing 1 to NO(g) in 2-MeTHF/THF (v/v 4:1) at <-80 °C leads to the newly observed transient metastable dinitrosyl species [(tmpa)CuII(NO)2] (1-(NO)2) prior to its disproportionation-mediated transformation to the nitrite product [(tmpa)CuII(NO2)]+. Our study furnishes a near-complete profile of NO(g) activation at a reduced Cu site with tripodal tetradentate ligation in two distinctly different solvents, aided by detailed spectroscopic characterization of metastable intermediates, including resonance Raman characterization of the new dinitrosyl and hyponitrite species detected.

Abstract
Treatment of a dicopper(I,I) complex with excess amounts of NO leads to the formation of a dicopper dinitrosyl [Cu2(NO)2]2+ complex capable of (i) releasing two equivalents of NO reversibly in 90% yield and (ii) reacting with another equivalent of NO to afford N2O and dicopper nitrosyl oxo species [Cu2(NO)(O)]2+. Resonance Raman characterization of the [Cu2(NO)2]2+ complex shows a 15N-sensitive N═O stretch at 1527.6 cm-1 and two Cu-N stretches at 390.6 and 414.1 cm-1, supporting a symmetric diamond-core structure with bis-μ-NO ligands. The conversion of [Cu2(NO)2]2+ to [Cu2(NO)O]2+ occurs via a rate-limiting reaction with NO and bypasses the dicopper oxo intermediate, a mechanism distinct from that of diFe-mediated NO reduction to N2O.

Abstract
Rieske-type non-heme iron oxygenases/oxidases catalyze a wide range of transformations. Their applications in bioremediation or biocatalysis face two key barriers: the need of expensive NAD(P)H as a reductant and a proper reductase to mediate the electron transfer from NAD(P)H to the oxygenases. To bypass the need of both the reductase and NAD(P)H, using Rieske-type oxygenase (Stc2) catalyzed oxidative demethylation as the model system, we report Stc2 photocatalysis using eosin Y/sulfite as the photosensitizer/sacrificial reagent pair. In a flow-chemistry setting to separate the photo-reduction half-reaction and oxidation half-reaction, Stc2 photo-biocatalysis outperforms the Stc2-NAD(P)H-reductase (GbcB) system. In addition, in a few other selected Rieske enzymes (NdmA, CntA, and GbcA), and a flavin-dependent enzyme (iodotyrosine deiodinase, IYD), the eosin Y/sodium sulfite photo-reduction pair could also serve as the NAD(P)H-reductase surrogate to support catalysis, which implies the potential applicability of this photo-reduction system to other redox enzymes.

Abstract
A particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is described for the fitting of ground-state spin Hamiltonian parameters from variable-temperature/variable-field (VTVH) magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) data. This PSO algorithm is employed to define the ground state of two catalytic intermediates from a flavodiiron protein (FDP), a class of enzymes with nitric oxide reductase activity. The bimetallic iron active site of this enzyme proceeds through a biferrous intermediate and a mixed ferrous-{FeNO}7 intermediate during the catalytic cycle, and the MCD spectra of these intermediates are presented and analyzed. The fits of the spin Hamiltonians are shown to provide important geometric and electronic insight into these species that is compared and contrasted with previous reports.

Abstract
A dimeric dithiolate-bridged species, [Fe(NO)(PS2)]2 (1) containing two {FeNO}7 units, can be isolated by treating [Fe(CO)2(NO)2] with PS2H2 (PS2H2 = bis(2-dimercaptophenyl)phenylphosphine). Crystallographic studies reveal the syn-configuration of NO units and the bridging thiolates in the butterfly shape of the 2Fe2S core. Addition of PPh3 to the solution of dinuclear 1 leads to the formation of mononuclear {FeNO}7 [Fe(NO)(PS2)(PPh3)] (2) that shows electrochemical responses similar to those of 1. One-electron reduction of 1 with Cp*2Co or KC8 results in the isolation of thiolate-bridged bimetallic DNIC, [(PS2)Fe(μ-PS2)Fe(NO)2]- ([3]-), confirmed by several spectroscopies including single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The bimetallic DNIC [3]- is a rare example obtained from the one-electron reduction of a dinuclear Fe-NO {FeNO}7 model complex. With the assistance of redox behaviors of 2, electrochemical studies imply that the reduction of 1 leads to the formation of a mononuclear {FeNO}8 [Fe(NO)(PS2)(THF)]- intermediate, which involves disproportionation or NO- transfer to yield [3]-. Based on IR data and magnetic properties, the electronic structure of [3]- can be described as a FeII/{Fe(NO)2}9 state. Isolation of the {Fe(NO)2}9 moiety coordinated by the Fe ancillary complex lends strong support to the NO scrambling behavior in the effectiveness of the activity of flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs).

Flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs), found in pathogenic bacteria, are capable of reducing nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) to detoxify NO released by the human immune system. Previously, we reported the first FNOR model system that mediates direct NO reduction (Dong, H. T.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2018, 140, 13429-13440), but no intermediate of the reaction could be characterized. Here, we present a new set of model complexes that, depending on the ligand substitution, can either mediate direct NO reduction or stabilize a highly activated high-spin (hs) {FeNO}7 complex, the first intermediate of the reaction. The precursors, [{FeII(MPA-(RPhO)2)}2] (1, R = H and 2, R = tBu, Me), were prepared first and fully characterized. Complex 1 (without steric protection) directly reduces NO to N2O almost quantitatively, which constitutes only the second example of this reaction in model systems. Contrarily, the reaction of sterically protected 2 with NO forms the stable mononitrosyl complex 3, which shows one of the lowest N-O stretching frequencies (1689 cm-1) observed so far for a mononuclear hs-{FeNO}7 complex. This study confirms that an N-O stretch ≤1700 cm-1 represents the appropriate level of activation of the FeNO unit to enable direct NO reduction. The higher activation level of these hs-{FeNO}7 complexes required for NO reduction compared to those formed in FNORs emphasizes the importance of hydrogen bonding residues in the active sites of FNORs to activate the bound NO ligands for direct N-N coupling and N2O formation. The implications of these results for FNORs are further discussed.

Abstract
A density functional theory study was carried out to investigate the reduction mechanisms of NO to N2O using a dicopper complex reported by Zhang and coworkers (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2019, 141, 10159-10164). The reaction mechanism consists of three steps: N-N bond formation, isomerization of the resultant N2O2 moiety, and cleavage of the N-O bond.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially with iron, is at the heart of many biological transformations involving NO. A series of heme proteins, nitric oxide synthases (NOS), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and nitrophorins, are responsible for the biosynthesis, sensing, and transport of NO. Alternatively, NO can be generated from nitrite by heme- and copper-containing nitrite reductases (NIRs). The NO-bearing small molecules such as nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) can serve as an alternative vehicle for NO storage and transport. Once NO is formed, the rich reaction chemistry of NO leads to a wide variety of biological activities including reduction of NO by heme or non-heme iron-containing NO reductases and protein post-translational modifications by DNICs. Much of our understanding of the reactivity of metal sites in biology with NO and the mechanisms of these transformations has come from the elucidation of the geometric and electronic structures and chemical reactivity of synthetic model systems, in synergy with biochemical and biophysical studies on the relevant proteins themselves. This review focuses on recent advancements from studies on proteins and model complexes that not only have improved our understanding of the biological roles of NO but also have provided foundations for biomedical research and for bio-inspired catalyst design in energy science.

Abstract
In spite of the comprehensive study of the metal-mediated conversion of NO to N2O disclosing the conceivable processes/mechanism in biological and biomimetic studies, in this study, the synthesis cycles and mechanism of NO reduction to N2O triggered by the electronically localized dinuclear {Fe(NO)2}10-{Fe(NO)2}9 dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) [Fe(NO)2(μ-bdmap)Fe(NO)2(THF)] (1) (bdmap = 1,3- bis(dimethylamino)-2-propanolate) were investigated in detail. Reductive conversion of NO to N2O triggered by complex 1 in the presence of exogenous ·NO occurs via the simultaneous formation of hyponitrite-bound {[Fe2(NO)4(μ-bdmap)]2(κ4-N2O2)} (2) and [NO2]--bridged [Fe2(NO)4(μ-bdmap)(μ-NO2)] (3) (NO disproportionation yielding N2O and complex 3). EPR/IR spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the electrochemical study uncover the reversible redox transformation of {Fe(NO)2}9-{Fe(NO)2}9 [Fe2(NO)4(μ-bdmap)(μ-OC4H8)]+ (7) ↔ {Fe(NO)2}10-{Fe(NO)2}9 1 ↔ {Fe(NO)2}10-{Fe(NO)2}10 [Fe(NO)2(μ-bdmap)Fe(NO)2]- (6) and characterize the formation of complex 1. Also, the synthesis study and DFT computation feature the detailed mechanism of electronically localized {Fe(NO)2}10-{Fe(NO)2}9 DNIC 1 reducing NO to N2O via the associated hyponitrite-formation and NO-disproportionation pathways. Presumably, the THF-bound {Fe(NO)2}9 unit of electronically localized {Fe(NO)2}10-{Fe(NO)2}9 complex 1 served as an electron buffering reservoir for accommodating electron redistribution, and the {Fe(NO)2}10 unit of complex 1 acted as an electron-transfer channel to drive exogeneous ·NO coordination to yield proposed relay intermediate κ2-N,O-[NO]--bridged [Fe2(NO)4(μ-bdmap)(μ-NO)] (A) for NO reduction to N2O.

Abstract
Selective coupling of NO by a nonclassical dinuclear dinitrosyliron complex (D-DNIC) to form N2O is reported. The coupling is facilitated by the pyridinediimine (PDI) ligand scaffold, which enables the necessary denticity changes to produce mixed-valent, electron-deficient tethered DNICs. One-electron oxidation of the [{Fe(NO)2}]210/10 complex Fe2(PyrrPDI)(NO)4 (4) results in NO coupling to form N2O via the mixed-valent {[Fe(NO)2]2}9/10 species, which possesses an electron-deficient four-coordinate {Fe(NO)2}10 site, crucial in N-N bond formation. The hemilability of the PDI scaffold dictates the selectivity in N-N bond formation because stabilization of the five-coordinate {Fe(NO)2}9 site in the mixed-valent [{Fe(NO)2}]29/10 species, [Fe2(Pyr2PDI)(NO)4][PF6] (6), does not result in an electron-deficient, four-coordinate {Fe(NO)2}10 site, and hence no N-N coupling is observed.

Abstract
Flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs) protect microbes from nitrosative stress under anaerobic conditions by mediating the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O). The proposed mechanism for the catalytic reduction of NO by FNORs involves a dinitrosyldiiron intermediate with a [hs-{FeNO}7]2 formulation, which produces N2O and a diferric species. Moreover, both NO and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been implicated in several similar physiological functions in biology and are also known to cross paths in cell signaling. Here we report the synthesis, spectroscopic and theoretical characterization, and N2O production activity of an unprecedented monohydrosulfidodinitrosyldiiron compound, with a [(HS)hs-{FeNO}7/hs-{FeNO}7] formulation, that models the key dinitrosyl intermediate of FNORs. The generation of N2O from this unique compound follows a semireduced pathway, where one-electron reduction generates a reactive hs-{FeNO}8 center via the occupation of an Fe-NO antibonding orbital. In contrast to the well-known reactivity of H2S and NO, the coordinated hydrosulfide remains unreactive toward NO and acts only as a spectator ligand during the NO reduction process.

Abstract
A new nonheme iron(II) complex, FeII (Me3 TACN)((OSiPh2 )2 O) (1), is reported. Reaction of 1 with NO(g) gives a stable mononitrosyl complex Fe(NO)(Me3 TACN)((OSiPh2 )2 O) (2), which was characterized by Mössbauer (δ=0.52 mm s-1 , |ΔEQ |=0.80 mm s-1 ), EPR (S=3/2), resonance Raman (RR) and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopies. The data show that 2 is an {FeNO}7 complex with an S=3/2 spin ground state. The RR spectrum (λexc =458 nm) of 2 combined with isotopic labeling (15 N, 18 O) reveals ν(N-O)=1680 cm-1 , which is highly activated, and is a nearly identical match to that seen for the reactive mononitrosyl intermediate in the nonheme iron enzyme FDPnor (ν(NO)=1681 cm-1 ). Complex 2 reacts rapidly with H2 O in THF to produce the N-N coupled product N2 O, providing the first example of a mononuclear nonheme iron complex that is capable of converting NO to N2 O in the absence of an exogenous reductant.

Abstract
Reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) is associated with immense biological and health implications. Flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs) are diiron containing enzymes that catalyze the two electron reduction of NO to N2O and help certain pathogenic bacteria to survive under "nitrosative stress" in anaerobic growth conditions. Consequently, invading bacteria can proliferate inside the body of mammals by bypassing the immune defense mechanism involving NO and may thus lead to harmful infections. Various mechanisms, namely the direct reduction, semireduction, superreduction and hyponitrite mechanisms, have been proposed over time for catalytic NO reduction by FNORs. Model studies in relation to the diiron active site of FNORs have immensely helped to replicate the minimal structure-reactivity relationship and to understand the mechanism of NO reduction. A brief overview of the FNOR activity and the proposed reaction mechanisms followed by a systematic description and detailed analysis of the model studies is presented, which describes the development in the area of NO reduction by diiron complexes and its implications. A great deal of successful modeling chemistry as well as the shortcomings related to the synthesis and reactivity studies is discussed in detail. Finally, future prospects in this particular area of research are proposed, which in due course may bring more clarity in the understanding of this important redox reaction.

Abstract
A novel metal-organic framework (MOF) containing one-dimensional, Fe2+ chains bridged by dipyrazolate linkers and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) ligands has been synthesized. The unusual chain-type metal nodes feature accessible coordination sites on adjacent metal centers, resulting in motifs that are reminiscent of the active sites in non-heme diiron enzymes. The MOF facilitates direct reduction of nitric oxide (NO), producing nearly quantitative yields of nitrous oxide (N2 O) and emulating the reactivity of flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs). The ferrous form of the MOF can be regenerated via a synthetic cycle involving reduction with cobaltocene (CoCp2 ) followed by reaction with trimethylsilyl triflate (TMSOTf).

Abstract
We previously reported the synthesis and preliminary characterization of a unique series of low-spin (ls) {FeNO}8-10 complexes supported by an ambiphilic trisphosphineborane ligand, [Fe(TPB)(NO)]+/0/-. Herein, we use advanced spectroscopic techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to extract detailed information as to how the bonding changes across the redox series. We find that, in spite of the highly reduced nature of these complexes, they feature an NO+ ligand throughout with strong Fe-NO π-backbonding and essentially closed-shell electronic structures of their FeNO units. This is enabled by an Fe-B interaction that is present throughout the series. In particular, the most reduced [Fe(TPB)(NO)]- complex, an example of a ls-{FeNO}10 species, features a true reverse dative Fe → B bond where the Fe center acts as a strong Lewis-base. Hence, this complex is in fact electronically similar to the ls-{FeNO}8 system, with two additional electrons "stored" on site in an Fe-B single bond. The outlier in this series is the ls-{FeNO}9 complex, due to spin polarization (quantified by pulse EPR spectroscopy), which weakens the Fe-NO bond. These data are further contextualized by comparison with a related N2 complex, [Fe(TPB)(N2)]-, which is a key intermediate in Fe(TPB)-catalyzed N2 fixation. Our present study finds that the Fe → B interaction is key for storing the electrons needed to achieve a highly reduced state in these systems, and highlights the pitfalls associated with using geometric parameters to try to evaluate reverse dative interactions, a finding with broader implications to the study of transition metal complexes with boratrane and related ligands.

Abstract
The metallobiochemistry underlying the formation of the inorganic N-N-bond-containing molecules nitrous oxide (N2O), dinitrogen (N2), and hydrazine (N2H4) is essential to the lifestyles of diverse organisms. Similar reactions hold promise as means to use N-based fuels as alternative carbon-free energy sources. This review discusses research efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying biological N-N bond formation in primary metabolism and how the associated reactions are tied to energy transduction and organismal survival. These efforts comprise studies of both natural and engineered metalloenzymes as well as synthetic model complexes.

Abstract
Cytochrome (cyt) P460 is a c-type monoheme enzyme found in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and methanotrophs; additionally, genes encoding it have been found in some pathogenic bacteria. Cyt P460 is defined by a unique post-translational modification to the heme macrocycle, where a lysine (Lys) residue covalently attaches to the 13' meso carbon of the porphyrin, modifying this heme macrocycle into the enzyme's eponymous P460 cofactor, similar to the cofactor found in the enzyme hydroxylamine oxidoreductase. This cross-link imbues the protein with unique spectroscopic properties, the most obvious of which is the enzyme's green color in solution. Cyt P460 from the AOB Nitrosomonas europaea is a homodimeric redox enzyme that produces nitrous oxide (N2O) from 2 equiv of hydroxylamine. Mutation of the Lys cross-link results in spectroscopic features that are more similar to those of standard cyt c' proteins and renders the enzyme catalytically incompetent for NH2OH oxidation. Recently, the necessity of a second-sphere glutamate (Glu) residue for redox catalysis was established; it plausibly serves as proton relay during the first oxidative half of the catalytic cycle. Herein, we report the first crystal structure of a cross-link deficient cyt P460. This structure shows that the positioning of the catalytically essential Glu changes by approximately 0.8 Å when compared to a cross-linked, catalytically competent cyt P460. It appears that the heme-Lys cross-link affects the relative position of the P460 cofactor with respect to the second-sphere Glu residue, therefore dictating the catalytic competency of the enzyme.

Abstract
Thiol dioxygenases are non-heme mononuclear iron enzymes that catalyze the O2-dependent oxidation of free thiols (-SH) to produce the corresponding sulfinic acid (-SO2-). Regardless of the phylogenic domain, the active site for this enzyme class is typically comprised of two major features: (1) a mononuclear ferrous iron coordinated by three protein-derived histidines and (2) a conserved sequence of outer Fe-coordination-sphere amino acids (Ser-His-Tyr) spatially adjacent to the iron site (∼3 Å). Here, we utilize a promiscuous 3-mercaptopropionic acid dioxygenase cloned from Azotobacter vinelandii (Av MDO) to explore the function of the conserved S-H-Y motif. This enzyme exhibits activity with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3mpa), l-cysteine (cys), as well as several other thiol-bearing substrates, thus making it an ideal system to study the influence of residues within the highly conserved S-H-Y motif (H157 and Y159) on substrate specificity and reactivity. The pKa values for these residues were determined by pH-dependent steady-state kinetics, and their assignments verified by comparison to H157N and Y159F variants. Complementary electron paramagnetic resonance and Mössbauer studies demonstrate a network of hydrogen bonds connecting H157-Y159 and Fe-bound ligands within the enzymatic Fe site. Crucially, these experiments suggest that the hydroxyl group of Y159 hydrogen bonds to Fe-bound NO and, by extension, Fe-bound oxygen during native catalysis. This interaction alters both the NO binding affinity and rhombicity of the 3mpa-bound iron-nitrosyl site. In addition, Fe coordination of cys is switched from thiolate only to bidentate (thiolate/amine) for the Y159F variant, indicating that perturbations within the S-H-Y proton relay network also influence cys Fe binding denticity.

Abstract
A cuprous chelate bearing a secondary sphere hydrogen bonding functionality, [(PV-tmpa)CuI]+, transforms •NO(g) to N2O(g) in high-yields in methanol. Ligand derived proton transfer facilitates N-O bond cleavage of a putative hyponitrite intermediate releasing N2O(g), underscoring the crucial balance between H-bonding capabilities and acidities in (bio)chemical •NO(g) coupling systems.

Abstract
A dinucleating macrocyclic ligand with two redox-active, pyridyldiimine components was shown to undergo reversible ligand folding to accommodate various substitution patterns, metal ion spin states, and degrees of Fe-Fe bonding within the cluster. An unfolded-ligand geometry with a rectangular Fe2(μ-Cl)2 core and an Fe-Fe distance of 3.3262(5) Å served as a direct precursor to two different folded-ligand complexes. Chemical reduction in the presence of PPh3 resulted in a diamagnetic, folded ligand complex with an Fe-Fe bonding interaction (dFe-Fe = 2.7096(17) Å) between two intermediate spin (SFe = 1) Fe(II) centers. Ligand folding was also induced through anion exchange on the unfolded-ligand species, producing a complex with three PhS- ligands and a temperature-dependent Fe-Fe distance. In this latter example, the weak ligand field of the thiolate ligands led to a product with weakly coupled, high-spin Fe(II) ions (SFe = 2; J = -50.1 cm-1) that form a bonding interaction in the ground state and a nonbonding interaction in the excited state(s), as determined by SQUID magnetometry and variable temperature crystallography. Finally, both folded-ligand complexes were shown to reform an unfolded-ligand geometry through convergent syntheses of a complex with an Fe-Fe bonded Fe2(μ-SPh)2 core (dFe-Fe = 2.7320(11) Å). Experimentally validated DFT calculations were used to investigate the electronic structures of all species as a way to understand the origin of Fe-Fe bonding interactions, the extent of ligand reduction, and the nature of the spin systems that result from multiple, weakly interacting spin centers.

Abstract
Microbial anaerobes are exposed in the natural environment and in their hosts, even if transiently, to fluctuating concentrations of oxygen and its derived reactive species, which pose a considerable threat to their anoxygenic lifestyle. To counteract these stressful conditions, they contain a multifaceted array of detoxifying systems that, in conjugation with cellular repairing mechanisms and in close crosstalk with metal homeostasis, allow them to survive in the presence of O2 and reactive oxygen species. Some of these systems are shared with aerobes, but two families of enzymes emerged more recently that, although not restricted to anaerobes, are predominant in anaerobic microbes. These are the iron-containing superoxide reductases, and the flavodiiron proteins, endowed with O2 and/or NO reductase activities, which are the subject of this Review. A detailed account of their physicochemical, physiological and molecular mechanisms will be presented, highlighting their unique properties in allowing survival of anaerobes in oxidative stress conditions, and comparing their properties with the most well-known detoxifying systems.

Abstract
The synthesis of a new nonheme iron NO binding complex, [FeII(CH3CN)(N3Py2PhSEtCN)](BF4)2 (1), is reported. Complex 1, which contains two sterically encumbering phenyl substituents, exhibits a high-spin (hs) FeII (S = 2) ground state in contrast to the S = 0 ground state for unsubstituted [FeII(CH3CN)(N3PySEtCN)(BF4)2. Reaction of 1 with NO(g) in CH3CN yields an {FeNO}7 (S = 3/2) complex 2, which slowly decays at 25 °C with loss of NO• to regenerate 1. One-electron reduction of 2 with Cr(C6H6)2 at -40 °C yields the metastable, S = 1 {FeNO}8 complex 3. The nitrosyl moieties in thioether-ligated 2 and 3 are significantly less activated than in thiolate-ligated [Fe(NO)(N3PyS)]+/0, a structurally analogous pair of hs {FeNO}7/8 complexes. Calculations reveal that reduction of 2 is iron-centered, which may be a general property of hs {FeNO}7/8 complexes.

Abstract
Flavo-diiron proteins (FDPs) are widespread in anaerobic bacteria, archaea, and protozoa, where they serve as the terminal components of dioxygen and nitric oxide reductive scavenging pathways. FDPs contain an N,O-ligated diiron site adjacent to a flavin mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor. The diiron site is structurally similar to those in hemerythrin, ribonucleotide reductase, and methane monooxygenase. However, only FDPs turn over NO to N2O at significant rates and yields. Previous studies revealed sequential binding of two NO molecules to the diferrous site, forming mono- and dinitrosyl intermediates leading to N2O formation. In the present work, these mono- and dinitrosyl intermediates have been characterized by EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies and DFT calculations. Our results show that the iron proximal to the cofactor binds the first NO to form the diiron mononitrosyl complex, implying the iron distal to the FMN binds the second NO to form the diiron dinitrosyl intermediate. The exchange-coupling constants, J (H = JS1·S2), were found to differ substantially, +17 cm-1 for the diiron mononitrosyl and +60 cm-1 for the diiron dinitrosyl. Notwithstanding this large difference, our findings indicate retention of at least one hydroxo bridge throughout the NOR catalytic cycle. The Mossbauer hyperfine parameters and DFT calculations confirmed a semibridging NO- ligand in the mononitrosyl intermediate that lowers the exchange parameter. The DFT calculations on the dinitrosyl intermediate suggest a contribution to J from direct exchange between the S = 1 spins on the NO- ligands, which could initiate N-N bond formation. Our results provide insight into why FDPs are the only known nonheme diiron enzymes that competently turn over NO to N2O.

Abstract
Heme and non-heme iron-nitrosyl complexes are important intermediates in biology. While there are numerous examples of low-spin heme iron-nitrosyl complexes in different oxidation states, much less is known about high-spin (hs) non-heme iron-nitrosyls in oxidation states other than the formally ferrous NO adducts ({FeNO}7 in the Enemark-Feltham notation). In this study, we present a complete series of hs-{FeNO}6-8 complexes using the TMG3tren coligand. Redox transformations from the hs-{FeNO}7 complex [Fe(TMG3tren)(NO)]2+ to its {FeNO}6 and {FeNO}8 analogs do not alter the coordination environment of the iron center, allowing for detailed comparisons between these species. Here, we present new MCD, NRVS, XANES/EXAFS, and Mössbauer data, demonstrating that these redox transformations are metal based, which allows us to access hs-Fe(II)-NO-, Fe(III)-NO-, and Fe(IV)-NO- complexes. Vibrational data, analyzed by NCA, directly quantify changes in Fe-NO bonding along this series. Optical data allow for the identification of a "spectator" charge-transfer transition that, together with Mössbauer and XAS data, directly monitors the electronic changes of the Fe center. Using EXAFS, we are also able to provide structural data for all complexes. The magnetic properties of the complexes are further analyzed (from magnetic Mössbauer). The properties of our hs-{FeNO}6-8 complexes are then contrasted to corresponding, low-spin iron-nitrosyl complexes where redox transformations are generally NO centered. The hs-{FeNO}8 complex can further be protonated by weak acids, and the product of this reaction is characterized. Taken together, these results provide unprecedented insight into the properties of biologically relevant non-heme iron-nitrosyl complexes in three relevant oxidation states.

Abstract
A paramagnetic WIII alkyne complex bearing free terminal diphenylphosphino groups at the side-on coordinated alkyne was synthesized using a stepwise template strategy. This moderately stable metal supported open shell diphosphine shows an unprecedented spontaneous splitting of nitric oxide providing a WII-η2-C2{P(NH2)Ph2}{P(O)Ph2}+ complex featuring an amino phosphonium and a phosphine oxide substituent.

Abstract
Flavo-diiron proteins (FDPs) are non-heme iron containing enzymes that are widespread in anaerobic bacteria, archaea, and protozoa, serving as the terminal components to dioxygen and nitric oxide reductive scavenging pathways in these organisms. FDPs contain a dinuclear iron active site similar to that in hemerythrin, ribonucleotide reductase, and methane monooxygenase, all of which can bind NO and O2. However, only FDP competently turns over NO to N2O. Here, EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies allow electronic characterization of the diferric and diferrous species of FDP. The exchange-coupling constant J (Hex = JS1·S2) was found to increase from +20 cm-1 to +32 cm-1 upon reduction of the diferric to the diferrous species, indicative of (1) at least one hydroxo bridge between the iron ions for both states and (2) a change to the diiron core structure upon reduction. In comparison to characterized diiron proteins and synthetic complexes, the experimental values were consistent with a dihydroxo bridged diferric core, which loses one hydroxo bridge upon reduction. DFT calculations of these structures gave values of J and Mössbauer parameters in agreement with experiment. Although the crystal structure shows a hydrogen bond between the iron bound aspartate and the bridging solvent molecule, the DFT calculations of structures consistent with the crystal structure gave calculated values of J incompatible with the spectroscopic results. We conclude that the crystal structure of the diferric state does not represent the frozen solution structure and that a mono-μ-hydroxo diferrous species is the catalytically functional state that reacts with NO and O2. The new EPR spectroscopic probe of the diferric state indicated that the diferric structure of FDP prior to and immediately after turnover with NO are flavin mononucleotide (FMN) dependent, implicating an additional proton transfer role for FMN in turnover of NO.

Abstract
Development of sustainable biobutanol production platforms from lignocellulosic materials is impeded by inefficient five carbon sugar uptake by solventogenic bacteria. The recently isolated Clostridium sp. strain BOH3 is particularly advantaged in this regard as it serves as a model organism which can simultaneously utilize both glucose and xylose for high butanol (>15 g/L) production. Strain BOH3 was, therefore, investigated for its metabolic mechanisms for efficient five carbon sugar uptake using a quantitative proteomics based approach. The proteomics data show that proteins within the CAC1341-1349 operon play a pivotal role for efficient xylose uptake within the cells to produce butanol. Furthermore, up-regulation of key enzymes within the riboflavin synthesis pathway explained that xylose could induce higher riboflavin production capability of the bacteria (e.g., ∼80 mg/L from glucose vs. ∼120 mg/L from xylose). Overall results from the present experimental approach indicated that xylose-fed BOH3 cultures are subjected to high levels of redox stress which coupled with the solvent stress-trigger a sporulation response within the cells earlier than the glucose-fed cultures. The study lays the platform for metabolic engineering strategies in designing organisms for efficient butanol and other value-added chemicals such as riboflavin production. Biotechnol.
