Abstract
Nitriles are uncommon in nature and are typically constructed from oximes through the oxidative decarboxylation of amino acid substrates or from the derivatization of carboxylic acids. Here we report a third nitrile biosynthesis strategy featuring the cyanobacterial nitrile synthase AetD. During the biosynthesis of the eagle-killing neurotoxin, aetokthonotoxin, AetD transforms the 2-aminopropionate portion of 5,7-dibromo-L-tryptophan to a nitrile. Employing a combination of structural, biochemical and biophysical techniques, we characterized AetD as a non-haem diiron enzyme that belongs to the emerging haem-oxygenase-like dimetal oxidase superfamily. High-resolution crystal structures of AetD together with the identification of catalytically relevant products provide mechanistic insights into how AetD affords this unique transformation, which we propose proceeds via an aziridine intermediate. Our work presents a unique template for nitrile biogenesis and portrays a substrate binding and metallocofactor assembly mechanism that may be shared among other haem-oxygenase-like dimetal oxidase enzymes.

Abstract
Non-heme iron enzymes play key roles in antibiotic, neurotransmitter, and natural product biosynthesis, DNA repair, hypoxia regulation, and disease states. These enzymes had been refractory to traditional bioinorganic spectroscopic methods. Thus, we developed variable-temperature variable-field magnetic circular dichroism (VTVH MCD) spectroscopy to experimentally define the excited and ground ligand field states of non-heme ferrous enzymes (Solomon et al., 1995). This method provides detailed geometric and electronic structure insight and thus enables a molecular level understanding of catalytic mechanisms. Application of this method across the five classes of non-heme ferrous enzymes has defined that a general mechanistic strategy is utilized where O2 activation is controlled to occur only in the presence of all cosubstrates.

[PMID: 38781256 PMCID: PMC11168414 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.4c01365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Nonheme Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent histone lysine demethylases 2A (KDM2A) catalyze the demethylation of the mono- or dimethylated lysine 36 residue in the histone H3 peptide (H3K36me1/me2), which plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation and can be involved in many cancers. Although the overall catalytic mechanism of KDMs has been studied, how KDM2 catalysis takes place in contrast to other KDMs remains unknown. Understanding such differences is vital for enzyme redesign and can help in enzyme-selective drug design. Herein, we employed molecular dynamics (MD) and combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) to explore the complete catalytic mechanism of KDM2A, including dioxygen diffusion and binding, dioxygen activation, and substrate oxidation. Our study demonstrates that the catalysis of KDM2A is controlled by the conformational change of the second coordination sphere (SCS), specifically by a change in the orientation of Y222, which unlocks the 2OG rearrangement from off-line to in-line mode. The study demonstrates that the variant Y222A makes the 2OG rearrangement more favorable. Furthermore, the study reveals that it is the size of H3K36me3 that prevents the 2OG rearrangement, thus rendering the enzyme inactivity with trimethylated lysine. Calculations show that the SCS and long-range interacting residues that stabilize the HAT transition state in KDM2A differ from those in KDM4A, KDM7B, and KDM6A, thus providing the basics for the enzyme-selective redesign and modulation of KDM2A without influencing other KDMs.

Abstract
The diiron active site is pivotal in catalyzing transformations in both biological and chemical systems. Recently, a range of biomimetic diiron catalysts have been synthesized, drawing inspiration from the active architecture of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO). These catalysts have been successfully deployed for the dehydrogenation of indolines, marking a significant advancement in the field. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have identified a novel mechanistic pathway that governs the dehydrogenation of indolines catalyzed by a biomimetic diiron complex. Specifically, this reaction is facilitated by the transfer of a hybrid atom from the C1 position of the substrate to the distal oxygen atom of the Fe(III)Fe(III)-1,1-μ-hydroperoxy active species. This transfer serves as the rate-limiting step for the heterolytic cleavage of the OO bond, ultimately generating the substrate cation. The mechanism we propose aligns well with mechanistic investigations incorporating both kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements and evaluations of stereochemical selectivity. This research contributes to the broader scientific understanding of catalysis involving biomimetic diiron complexes and offers valuable insights into the catalytic behaviors of non-heme diiron metalloenzymes.

Reconstitution of the Final Steps in the Biosynthesis of Valanimycin Reveals the Origin of Its Characteristic Azoxy Moiety. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202315844.

Abstract
Valanimycin is an azoxy-containing natural product isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces viridifaciens MG456-hF10. While the biosynthesis of valanimycin has been partially characterized, how the azoxy group is constructed remains obscure. Herein, the membrane protein VlmO and the putative hydrazine synthetase ForJ from the formycin biosynthetic pathway are demonstrated to catalyze N-N bond formation converting O-(l-seryl)-isobutyl hydroxylamine into N-(isobutylamino)-l-serine. Subsequent installation of the azoxy group is shown to be catalyzed by the non-heme diiron enzyme VlmB in a reaction in which the N-N single bond in the VlmO/ForJ product is oxidized by four electrons to yield the azoxy group. The catalytic cycle of VlmB appears to begin with a resting μ-oxo diferric complex in VlmB, as supported by Mössbauer spectroscopy. This study also identifies N-(isobutylamino)-d-serine as an alternative substrate for VlmB leading to two azoxy regioisomers. The reactions catalyzed by the kinase VlmJ and the lyase VlmK during the final steps of valanimycin biosynthesis are established as well. The biosynthesis of valanimycin was thus fully reconstituted in vitro using the enzymes VlmO/ForJ, VlmB, VlmJ and VlmK. Importantly, the VlmB-catalyzed reaction represents the first example of enzyme-catalyzed azoxy formation and is expected to proceed by an atypical mechanism.

Abstract
Azoxy compounds exhibit a wide array of biological activities and possess distinctive chemical properties. Although there has been considerable interest in the biosynthetic mechanisms of azoxy metabolites, the enzymatic basis responsible for azoxy bond formation has remained largely enigmatic. In this study, we unveil the enzyme cascade that constructs the azoxy bond in valanimycin biosynthesis. Our research demonstrates that a pair of metalloenzymes, comprising a membrane-bound hydrazine synthase and a nonheme diiron azoxy synthase, collaborate to convert an unstable pathway intermediate to an azoxy product through a hydrazine-azo-azoxy pathway. Additionally, by characterizing homologues of this enzyme pair from other azoxy metabolite pathways, we propose that this two-enzyme cascade could represent a conserved enzymatic strategy for azoxy bond formation in bacteria. These findings provide significant mechanistic insights into biological N-N bond formation and should facilitate the targeted isolation of bioactive azoxy compounds through genome mining.

Abstract
The extradiol dioxygenases (EDOs) and intradiol dioxygenases (IDOs) are nonheme iron enzymes that catalyze the oxidative aromatic ring cleavage of catechol substrates, playing an essential role in the carbon cycle. The EDOs and IDOs utilize very different FeII and FeIII active sites to catalyze the regiospecificity in their catechol ring cleavage products. The factors governing this difference in cleavage have remained undefined. The EDO homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (HPCD) and IDO protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase (PCD) provide an opportunity to understand this selectivity, as key O2 intermediates have been trapped for both enzymes. Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (in conjunction with density functional theory calculations) is used to define the geometric and electronic structures of these intermediates as FeII-alkylhydroperoxo (HPCD) and FeIII-alkylperoxo (PCD) species. Critically, in both intermediates, the initial peroxo bond orientation is directed toward extradiol product formation. Reaction coordinate calculations were thus performed to evaluate both the extra- and intradiol O-O cleavage for the simple organic alkylhydroperoxo and for the FeII and FeIII metal catalyzed reactions. These results show the FeII-alkylhydroperoxo (EDO) intermediate undergoes facile extradiol O-O bond homolysis due to its extra e-, while for the FeIII-alkylperoxo (IDO) intermediate the extradiol cleavage involves a large barrier and would yield the incorrect extradiol product. This prompted our evaluation of a viable mechanism to rearrange the FeIII-alkylperoxo IDO intermediate for intradiol cleavage, revealing a key role in the rebinding of the displaced Tyr447 ligand in this rearrangement, driven by the proton delivery necessary for O-O bond cleavage.

Abstract
Hemin possesses great potential in eliminating organic pollutants due to its mild reaction condition, light-harvesting efficiency, and environmental friendliness. However, it has drawbacks such as being easy to aggregate and hard to recycle, and poor stability should be improved in practical application. Herein, the subject developed an electrospinning approach to enable the hemin particulates to be immobilized onto polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers stably. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was adopted as an oxidant in the system to simulate the enzymatic catalysis of hemin in an organism. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS), and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) analysis was employed to discuss the morphology, structure, and mechanism of the prepared n-hemin/PAN nanocomposite membranes, and 0.02 mmol L-1 of the rhodamine B (RhB) removal activity in different conditions was also verified with these membranes. The kinetic studies showed that n-hemin/PAN nanocomposite membranes maintained excellent properties both in adsorption and degradation. Around 42% RhB could be adsorbed in the dark, while 91% RhB decolorized under xenon lamp irradiation in 110 min, suggesting the catalytic performance of n-hemin/PAN was greatly driven by light irradiation. Differing from the axial coordinated hemin complexes, n-hemin/PAN would catalyze hydrogen peroxide into •OH radicals rather than •OOH and high-valent metal-oxo species. This work provides an effective way to support hemin as nanocomposite membranes, in which the molecular interaction between polymer and hemin made their light adsorption an obvious red shift.

Abstract
SznF is a nonheme diiron-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the critical N-nitrosation involved in the formation of the N-nitrosourea moiety in the pancreatic cancer drug streptozotocin. The N-nitrosation contains two successive N-hydroxylation and N-nitrosation steps, which are carried out by two separate active sites, namely, the central domain and cupin domain. Recently, the crystal structure of SznF was obtained, and the central domain was proved to contain a diiron cofactor to catalyze the N-hydroxylation. In this work, to gain insights into the O2 activation and the successive N-hydroxylation mechanism, on the basis of the high-resolution crystal structure, the enzyme-substrate complex models were constructed, and a series of combined QM/MM calculations were performed. Based on our calculations, the activation of O2 starts from the diiron(II,III)-superoxo (S) to generate the diiron(IV)-oxo species (Q) via a diiron(III,III)-peroxo (P)-like transition state or unstable intermediate (P'), and species P' can be described as a hybridization of diiron(IV)-oxo species and diiron(III,III)-peroxo (P) owing to the long distances of Fe1-Fe2 (4.22 Å) and O1-O2 (1.89 Å), which is different from those of other nonheme diiron enzymes. In the following hydroxylation of Nδ and Nε, the Nδ-hydroxylation was confirmed to occur first, agreeing with the experimental observations. Because the diiron(IV)-oxo species (Q) is responsible for hydroxylation, the reaction follows the H-abstraction/OH rebound mechanism, and the first abstraction occurs on the Nδ-H rather than Nε-H, which may be attributed to the different orientation of Fe(IV)-oxo relative to N-H as well as the bond dissociation enthalpies of two N-H bonds. The hydroxylation of N-methyl-L-arginine does not employ the diiron(III,III)-hydroperoxo (P″) to trigger the electrophilic attack of the guanidine to directly form the N-O bond, as previously suggested. In addition, our calculations also revealed that the direct attack of the Fe(IV)═O unit to the Nδ of the substrate corresponds to a higher barrier than that in the H-abstraction/OH rebound mechanism. These results may provide useful information for understanding the formation of the di-hydroxylation intermediate involved in the biosynthesis of N-nitrosation.

Abstract
μ-1,2-Peroxo-diferric intermediates (P) of non-heme diiron enzymes are proposed to convert upon protonation either to high-valent active species or to activated P′ intermediates via hydroperoxo-diferric intermediates. Protonation of synthetic μ-1,2-peroxo model complexes occurred at the μ-oxo and not at the μ-1,2-peroxo bridge. Here we report a stable μ-1,2-peroxo complex {FeIII(μ-O)(μ-1,2-O2)FeIII} using a dinucleating ligand and study its reactivity. The reversible oxidation and protonation of the μ-1,2-peroxo-diferric complex provide μ-1,2-peroxo FeIVFeIII and μ-1,2-hydroperoxo-diferric species, respectively. Neither the oxidation nor the protonation induces a strong electrophilic reactivity. Hence, the observed intramolecular C-H hydroxylation of preorganized methyl groups of the parent μ-1,2-peroxo-diferric complex should occur via conversion to a more electrophilic high-valent species. The thorough characterization of these species provides structure-spectroscopy correlations allowing insights into the formation and reactivities of hydroperoxo intermediates in diiron enzymes and their conversion to activated P′ or high-valent intermediates. Iron coordination complexes can be used to gain insight on biologically relevant iron-oxygen compounds generated in iron metalloenzymes. Here, the authors characterise a μ-1,2-hydroperoxo FeIIIFeIII and a μ-1,2-peroxo FeIVFeIII, and study their reactivity in C-H activation.

Abstract
Four cobalt(II)-carboxylate complexes [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(benzoate)](BPh4) (1), [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(benzilate)](ClO4) (2), [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(mandelate)](BPh4) (3), and [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(MPA)](BPh4) (4) (HMPA = 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetic acid) of the 6-Me3-TPA (tris((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)amine) ligand were isolated to investigate their ability in H2O2-dependent selective oxygenation of C-H and CC bonds. All six-coordinate complexes contain a high-spin cobalt(II) center. While the cobalt(II) complexes are inert toward dioxygen, each of these complexes reacts readily with hydrogen peroxide to form a diamagnetic cobalt(III) species, which decays with time leading to the oxidation of the methyl groups on the pyridine rings of the supporting ligand. Intramolecular ligand oxidation by the cobalt-based oxidant is partially inhibited in the presence of external substrates, and the substrates are converted to their corresponding oxidized products. Kinetic studies and labelling experiments indicate the involvement of a metal-based oxidant in affecting the chemo- and stereo-selective catalytic oxygenation of aliphatic C-H bonds and epoxidation of alkenes. An electrophilic cobalt-oxygen species that exhibits a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) value of 5.3 in toluene oxidation by 1 is proposed as the active oxidant. Among the complexes, the cobalt(II)-benzoate (1) and cobalt(II)-MPA (4) complexes display better catalytic activity compared to their α-hydroxy analogues (2 and 3). Catalytic studies with the cobalt(II)-acetonitrile complex [(6-Me3-TPA)CoII(CH3CN)2](ClO4)2 (5) in the presence and absence of externally added benzoate support the role of the carboxylate co-ligand in oxidation reactions. The proposed catalytic reaction involves a carboxylate-bridged dicobalt complex in the activation of H2O2 followed by the oxidation of substrates by a metal-based oxidant.

Abstract
PtmU3 is a newly identified nonheme diiron monooxygenase, which installs a C-5 β-hydroxyl group into the C-19 CoA-ester intermediate involved in the biosynthesis of unique diterpene-derived scaffolds of platensimycin and platencin. PtmU3 possesses a noncanonical diiron active site architecture of a saturated six-coordinate iron center and lacks the μ-oxo bridge. Although the hydroxylation process is a simple reaction for nonheme mononuclear iron-dependent enzymes, how PtmU3 employs the diiron center to catalyze the H-abstraction and OH-rebound is still unknown. In particular, the electronic characteristic of diiron is also unclear. To understand the catalytic mechanism of PtmU3, we constructed two reactant models in which both the Fe1II-Fe2III-superoxo and Fe1II-Fe2IV═O are considered to trigger the H-abstraction and performed a series of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations. Our calculation results reveal that PtmU3 is a special monooxygenase, that is, both atoms of the dioxygen molecule can be incorporated into two molecules of the substrate by the successive reactions. In the first-round reaction, PtmU3 uses the Fe1II-Fe2III-superoxo to install a hydroxyl group into the substrate, generating the high-reactive Fe1II-Fe2IV═O complex. In the second-round reaction, the Fe1II-Fe2IV═O species is responsible for the hydroxylation of another molecule of the substrate. In the diiron center, Fe2 adopts the high spin state (S = 5/2) during the catalysis, whereas for Fe1, in addition to its structural role, it may also play an assistant role for Fe1 catalysis. In the two successive OH-installing steps, the H-abstraction is always the rate-liming step. E241 and D308 not only act as bridging ligands to connect two Fe ions but also take part in the electron reorganization. Owing to the high reactivity of Fe1II-Fe2IV═O compared to Fe1II-Fe2III-superoxo, besides the C5-hydroxylation, the C3- or C18-hydroxylation was also calculated to be feasible.

Abstract
Methanotrophic bacteria utilize the nonheme diiron enzyme soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) to convert methane to methanol in the first step of their metabolic cycle under copper-limiting conditions. The structure of the sMMO Fe(IV)2 intermediate Q responsible for activating the inert C-H bond of methane (BDE = 104 kcal/mol) remains controversial, with recent studies suggesting both "open" and "closed" core geometries for its active site. In this study, we employ nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to probe the geometric and electronic structure of intermediate Q at cryogenic temperatures. These data demonstrate that Q decays rapidly during the NRVS experiment. Combining data from several years of measurements, we derive the NRVS vibrational features of intermediate Q as well as its cryoreduced decay product. A library of 90 open and closed core models of intermediate Q is generated using density functional theory to analyze the NRVS data of Q and its cryoreduced product as well as prior spectroscopic data on Q. Our analysis reveals that a subset of closed core models reproduce these newly acquired NRVS data as well as prior data. The reaction coordinate with methane is also evaluated using both closed and open core models of Q. These studies show that the potent reactivity of Q toward methane resides in the "spectator oxo" of its Fe(IV)2O2 core, in contrast to nonheme mononuclear Fe(IV)═O enzyme intermediates that H atoms abstract from weaker C-H bonds.

Abstract
Nuclear resonant vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) is a synchrotron radiation (SR)-based nuclear inelastic scattering spectroscopy that measures the phonons (i.e., vibrational modes) associated with the nuclear transition. It has distinct advantages over traditional vibration spectroscopy and has wide applications in physics, chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, materials sciences, and geology, as well as many other research areas. In this article, we present a scientific and figurative description of this yet modern tool for the potential users in various research fields in the future. In addition to short discussions on its development history, principles, and other theoretical issues, the focus of this article is on the experimental aspects, such as the instruments, the practical measurement issues, the data process, and a few examples of its applications. The article concludes with introduction to non-57Fe NRVS and an outlook on the impact from the future upgrade of SR rings.

Abstract
μ‐1,2‐peroxo‐bridged diiron(III) intermediates P are proposed as reactive intermediates in various biological oxidation reactions. In sMMO, P acts as an electrophile, and performs hydrogen atom and oxygen atom transfers to electron‐rich substrates. In cyanobacterial ADO, however, P is postulated to react by nucleophilic attack on electrophilic carbon atoms. In biomimetic studies, the ability of μ‐1,2‐peroxo‐bridged dimetal complexes of Fe, Co, Ni and Cu to act as nucleophiles that effect deformylation of aldehydes is documented. By performing reactivity and theoretical studies on an end‐on μ‐1,2‐peroxodicobalt(III) complex 1 involving a non‐heme ligand system, L1, supported on a Sn6O6 stannoxane core, we now show that a peroxo‐bridged dimetal complex can also be a reactive electrophile. The observed electrophilic chemistry, which is induced by the constraints provided by the Sn6O6 core, represents a new domain for metal−peroxide reactivity.

Abstract
1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (1s2p RIXS) has proven successful in the determination of the differential orbital covalency (DOC, the amount of metal vs ligand character in each d molecular orbital) of highly covalent centrosymmetric iron environments including heme models and enzymes. However, many reactive intermediates have noncentrosymmetric environments, e.g., the presence of strong metal-oxo bonds, which results in the mixing of metal 4p character into the 3d orbitals. This leads to significant intensity enhancement in the metal K-pre-edge and as shown here, the associated 1s2p RIXS features, which impact their insight into electronic structure. Binuclear oxo bridged high spin Fe(III) complexes are used to determine the effects of 4p mixing on 1s2p RIXS spectra. In addition to developing the analysis of 4p mixing on K-edge XAS and 1s2p RIXS data, this study explains the selective nature of the 4p mixing that also enhances the analysis of L-edge XAS intensity in terms of DOC. These 1s2p RIXS biferric model studies enable new structural insight from related data on peroxo bridged biferric enzyme intermediates. The dimeric nature of the oxo bridged Fe(III) complexes further results in ligand-to-ligand interactions between the Fe(III) sites and angle dependent features just above the pre-edge that reflect the superexchange pathway of the oxo bridge. Finally, we present a methodology that enables DOC to be obtained when L-edge XAS is inaccessible and only 1s2p RIXS experiments can be performed as in many metalloenzyme intermediates in solution.

Abstract
In biosynthesis of the pancreatic cancer drug streptozotocin, the tridomain nonheme-iron oxygenase SznF hydroxylates Nδ and Nω' of Nω-methyl-l-arginine before oxidatively rearranging the triply modified guanidine to the N-methyl-N-nitrosourea pharmacophore. A previously published structure visualized the monoiron cofactor in the enzyme's C-terminal cupin domain, which promotes the final rearrangement, but exhibited disorder and minimal metal occupancy in the site of the proposed diiron cofactor in the N-hydroxylating heme-oxygenase-like (HO-like) central domain. We leveraged our recent observation that the N-oxygenating µ-peroxodiiron(III/III) intermediate can form in the HO-like domain after the apo protein self-assembles its diiron(II/II) cofactor to solve structures of SznF with both of its iron cofactors bound. These structures of a biochemically validated member of the emerging heme-oxygenase-like diiron oxidase and oxygenase (HDO) superfamily with intact diiron cofactor reveal both the large-scale conformational change required to assemble the O2-reactive Fe2(II/II) complex and the structural basis for cofactor instability-a trait shared by the other validated HDOs. During cofactor (dis)assembly, a ligand-harboring core helix dynamically (un)folds. The diiron cofactor also coordinates an unanticipated Glu ligand contributed by an auxiliary helix implicated in substrate binding by docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The additional carboxylate ligand is conserved in another N-oxygenating HDO but not in two HDOs that cleave carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds to install olefins. Among ∼9,600 sequences identified bioinformatically as members of the emerging HDO superfamily, ∼25% conserve this additional carboxylate residue and are thus tentatively assigned as N-oxygenases.

Abstract
Compared to other Fen (n > 2) clusters, Fe2 cluster catalysts combined with vicinal nonmetallic sites are expected to be an ideal catalyst for ammonia synthesis with a lower N–H formation (0.47 eV) and N–N dissociation (0.50 eV) energy barrier at the same time.

Abstract
In nature, C-H bond oxidation of CH4 involves a peroxo intermediate that decays to the high-valent active species of either a "closed" {FeIV(μ-O)2FeIV} core or an "open" {FeIV(O)(μ-O)FeIV(O)} core. To mimic and to obtain more mechanistic insight in this reaction mode, we have investigated the reactivity of the bioinspired diiron complex [(susan){Fe(OH)(μ-O)Fe(OH)}]2+ [susan = 4,7-dimethyl-1,1,10,10-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane], which catalyzes CH3OH oxidation with H2O2 to HCHO and HCO2H. The kinetics is faster in the presence of a proton. 18O-labeling experiments show that the active species, generated by a decay of the initially formed peroxo intermediate [(susan){FeIII(μ-O)(μ-O2)FeIII}]2+, contains one reactive oxygen atom from the μ-oxo and another from the μ-peroxo bridge of its peroxo precursor. Considering an FeIVFeIV active species, a "closed" {FeIV(μ-O)2FeIV} core explains the observed labeling results, while a scrambling of the terminal and bridging oxo ligands is required to account for an "open" {FeIV(O)(μ-O)FeIV(O)} core.

Abstract
The Pseudomonas virulence factor (pvf) operon is essential for the biosynthesis of two very different natural product scaffolds: the (dihydro)pyrazine-N-oxides and the diazeniumdiolate, valdiazen. PvfB is a member of the non-heme diiron N-oxygenase enzyme family that commonly convert anilines to their nitroaromatic counterparts. In contrast, we show that PvfB catalyzes N-oxygenation of the α-amine of valine, first to the hydroxylamine and then the nitroso, while linked to the carrier protein of PvfC. PvfB modification of PvfC-tethered valine was observed directly by protein NMR spectroscopy, establishing the intermediacy of the hydroxylamine. This work reveals a central role for PvfB in the biosynthesis of (dihydro)pyrazine-N-oxides and valdiazen.

Abstract
The alkylating warhead of the pancreatic cancer drug streptozotocin (SZN) contains an N-nitrosourea moiety constructed from Nω-methyl-l-arginine (l-NMA) by the multi-domain metalloenzyme SznF. The enzyme's central heme-oxygenase-like (HO-like) domain sequentially hydroxylates Nδ and Nω' of l-NMA. Its C-terminal cupin domain then rearranges the triply modified arginine to Nδ-hydroxy-Nω-methyl-Nω-nitroso-l-citrulline, the proposed donor of the functional pharmacophore. Here we show that the HO-like domain of SznF can bind Fe(II) and use it to capture O2, forming a peroxo-Fe2(III/III) intermediate. This intermediate has absorption- and Mössbauer-spectroscopic features similar to those of complexes previously trapped in ferritin-like diiron oxidases and oxygenases (FDOs) and, more recently, the HO-like fatty acid oxidase UndA. The SznF peroxo-Fe2(III/III) complex is an intermediate in both hydroxylation steps, as shown by the concentration-dependent acceleration of its decay upon exposure to either l-NMA or Nδ-hydroxy-Nω-methyl-l-Arg (l-HMA). The Fe2(III/III) cluster produced upon decay of the intermediate has a small Mössbauer quadrupole splitting parameter, implying that, unlike the corresponding product states of many FDOs, it lacks an oxo-bridge. The subsequent decomposition of the product cluster to one or more paramagnetic Fe(III) species over several hours explains why SznF was previously purified and crystallographically characterized without its cofactor. Programmed instability of the oxidized form of the cofactor appears to be a unifying characteristic of the emerging superfamily of HO-like diiron oxidases and oxygenases (HDOs).

Abstract
A full understanding of the catalytic action of non-heme iron (NHFe) and non-heme diiron (NHFe2) enzymes is still beyond the grasp of contemporary computational and experimental techniques. Many of these enzymes exhibit fascinating chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity, in spite of employing highly reactive intermediates which are necessary for activations of most stable chemical bonds. Herein, we study in detail one intriguing representative of the NHFe2 family of enzymes: soluble Δ9 desaturase (Δ9D), which desaturates rather than performing the thermodynamically favorable hydroxylation of substrate. Its catalytic mechanism has been explored in great detail by using QM(DFT)/MM and multireference wave function methods. Starting from the spectroscopically observed 1,2-μ-peroxo diferric P intermediate, the proton-electron uptake by P is the favored mechanism for catalytic activation, since it allows a significant reduction of the barrier of the initial (and rate-determining) H-atom abstraction from the stearoyl substrate as compared to the "proton-only activated" pathway. Also, we ruled out that a Q-like intermediate (high-valent diamond-core bis-μ-oxo-[FeIV]2 unit) is involved in the reaction mechanism. Our mechanistic picture is consistent with the experimental data available for Δ9D and satisfies fairly stringent conditions required by Nature: the chemo-, stereo-, and regioselectivity of the desaturation of stearic acid. Finally, the mechanisms evaluated are placed into a broader context of NHFe2 chemistry, provided by an amino acid sequence analysis through the families of the NHFe2 enzymes. Our study thus represents an important contribution toward understanding the catalytic action of the NHFe2 enzymes and may inspire further work in NHFe(2) biomimetic chemistry.

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

Abstract
Ferritin-like carboxylate-bridged non-heme diiron enzymes activate O2 for a variety of difficult reactions throughout nature. These reactions often begin by abstraction of hydrogen from strong CH bonds. The enzymes activate O2 at their diferrous cofactors to form canonical diferric peroxo intermediates, with a range of possible coordination modes. Herein, we explore the ability of high-energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD XAS) to provide insight into the nature of peroxo level intermediates in non-heme diiron proteins. Freeze quenched (FQ) peroxo intermediates from p-aminobenzoate N-oxygenase (AurF), aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO), and the β subunit of class Ia ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli (Ecβ) are investigated. All three intermediates are proposed to adopt different peroxo binding modes, and each exhibit different Fe Kα HERFD XAS pre-edge features and intensities. As these FQ-trapped samples consist of multiple species, deconvolution of HERFD XAS spectra based on speciation, as determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy, is also necessitated - yielding 'pure' diferric peroxo HERFD XAS spectra from dilute protein samples. Finally, the impact of a given peroxo coordination mode on the HERFD XAS pre-edge energy and intensity is evaluated through time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of the XAS spectra on a series of hypothetical model complexes, which span a full range of possible peroxo coordination modes to a diferric core. The utility of HERFD XAS for future studies of enzymatic intermediates is discussed.

Abstract
Nonheme diiron monooxygenases make up a rapidly growing family of oxygenases that are rarely identified in secondary metabolism. Herein, we report the in vivo, in vitro, and structural characterizations of a nonheme diiron monooxygenase, PtmU3, that installs a C-5 β-hydroxyl group in the unified biosynthesis of platensimycin and platencin, two highly functionalized diterpenoids that act as potent and selective inhibitors of bacterial and mammalian fatty acid synthases. This hydroxylation sets the stage for the subsequent A-ring cleavage step key to the unique diterpene-derived scaffolds of platensimycin and platencin. PtmU3 adopts an unprecedented triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) barrel structural fold for this class of enzymes and possesses a noncanonical diiron active site architecture with a saturated six-coordinate iron center lacking a μ-oxo bridge. This study reveals the first member of a previously unidentified superfamily of TIM-barrel-fold enzymes for metal-dependent dioxygen activation, with the majority predicted to act on CoA-linked substrates, thus expanding our knowledge of nature's repertoire of nonheme diiron monooxygenases and TIM-barrel-fold enzymes.

Abstract
While two classes of non-heme iron enzymes use ferric centers to activate singlet organic substrates for the spin forbidden reaction with 3O2, most classes use high spin ferrous sites to activate dioxygen. These FeII active sites do not exhibit intense absorption bands and have an integer spin ground state thus are mostly EPR inactive. We have developed new spectroscopic methodologies that provide geometric and electronic structural insight into the ferrous centers and their interactions with cosubstrates for dioxygen activation and into the nature of the intermediates generated in these reactions. First, we present our variable-temperature variable-field magnetic circular dichroism (VTVH MCD) methodology to experimentally define the geometric and electronic structure of the high spin ferrous active site. Then, we focus on using Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy (NRVS, performed at SPring-8) to define geometric structure and VTVH MCD to define the electronic structure of the FeIII-OOH and FeIV=O intermediates generated in O2 activation and the spin state dependence of their frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) in controlling reactivity. Experimentally validated reaction coordinates are derived for the anticancer drug bleomycin in its cleavage of DNA and for an alpha- ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase in its selective halogenation over the thermodynamically favored hydroxylation of substrate.

Abstract
Computational chemistry provides a versatile toolbox for studying mechanistic details of catalytic reactions and holds promise to deliver practical strategies to enable the rational in silico catalyst design. The versatile reactivity and nontrivial electronic structure effects, common for systems based on 3d transition metals, introduce additional complexity that may represent a particular challenge to the standard computational strategies. In this review, we discuss the challenges and capabilities of modern electronic structure methods for studying the reaction mechanisms promoted by 3d transition metal molecular catalysts. Particular focus will be placed on the ways of addressing the multiconfigurational problem in electronic structure calculations and the role of expert bias in the practical utilization of the available methods. The development of density functionals designed to address transition metals is also discussed. Special emphasis is placed on the methods that account for solvation effects and the multicomponent nature of practical catalytic systems. This is followed by an overview of recent computational studies addressing the mechanistic complexity of catalytic processes by molecular catalysts based on 3d metals. Cases that involve noninnocent ligands, multicomponent reaction systems, metal-ligand and metal-metal cooperativity, as well as modeling complex catalytic systems such as metal-organic frameworks are presented. Conventionally, computational studies on catalytic mechanisms are heavily dependent on the chemical intuition and expert input of the researcher. Recent developments in advanced automated methods for reaction path analysis hold promise for eliminating such human-bias from computational catalysis studies. A brief overview of these approaches is presented in the final section of the review. The paper is closed with general concluding remarks.

Abstract
The extradiol dioxygenases are a large subclass of mononuclear nonheme Fe enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of catechols distal to their OH groups. These enzymes are important in bioremediation, and there has been significant interest in understanding how they activate O2. The extradiol dioxygenase homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (HPCD) provides an opportunity to study this process, as two O2 intermediates have been trapped and crystallographically defined using the slow substrate 4-nitrocatechol (4NC): a side-on Fe-O2-4NC species and a Fe-O2-4NC peroxy bridged species. Also with 4NC, two solution intermediates have been trapped in the H200N variant, where H200 provides a second-sphere hydrogen bond in the wild-type enzyme. While the electronic structure of these solution intermediates has been defined previously as FeIII-superoxo-catecholate and FeIII-peroxy-semiquinone, their geometric structures are unknown. Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) is an important tool for structural definition of nonheme Fe-O2 intermediates, as all normal modes with Fe displacement have intensity in the NRVS spectrum. In this study, NRVS is used to define the geometric structure of the H200N-4NC solution intermediates in HPCD as an end-on FeIII-superoxo-catecholate and an end-on FeIII-hydroperoxo-semiquinone. Parallel calculations are performed to define the electronic structures and protonation states of the crystallographically defined wild-type HPCD-4NC intermediates, where the side-on intermediate is found to be a FeIII-hydroperoxo-semiquinone. The assignment of this crystallographic intermediate is validated by correlation to the NRVS data through computational removal of H200. While the side-on hydroperoxo semiquinone intermediate is computationally found to be nonreactive in peroxide bridge formation, it is isoenergetic with a superoxo catecholate species that is competent in performing this reaction. This study provides insight into the relative reactivities of FeIII-superoxo and FeIII-hydroperoxo intermediates in nonheme Fe enzymes and into the role H200 plays in facilitating extradiol catalysis.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2017 The participation of non-heme dinuclear iron cluster-containing monooxygenases in natural product biosynthetic pathways has been recognized only recently. At present, two families have been discovered. The archetypal member of the first family, CmlA, catalyzes β-hydroxylation of l-p-aminophenylalanine (l-PAPA) covalently linked to the nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) CmlP, thereby effecting the first step in the biosynthesis of chloramphenicol by Streptomyces venezuelae. CmlA houses the diiron cluster in a metallo-β-lactamase protein fold instead of the 4-helix bundle fold of nearly every other diiron monooxygenase. CmlA couples O2 activation and substrate hydroxylation via a structural change caused by formation of the l-PAPA-loaded CmlP:CmlA complex. The other new diiron family is typified by two enzymes, AurF and CmlI, which catalyze conversion of aryl-amine substrates to aryl-nitro products with incorporation of oxygen from O2. AurF from Streptomyces thioluteus catalyzes the formation of p-nitrobenzoate from p-aminobenzoate as a precursor to the biostatic compound aureothin, whereas CmlI from S. venezuelae catalyzes the ultimate aryl-amine to aryl-nitro step in chloramphenicol biosynthesis. Both enzymes stabilize a novel type of peroxo-intermediate as the reactive species. The rare 6-electron N-oxygenation reactions of CmlI and AurF involve two progressively oxidized pathway intermediates. The enzymes optimize efficiency by utilizing one of the reaction pathway intermediates as an in situ reductant for the diiron cluster, while simultaneously generating the next pathway intermediate. For CmlI, this reduction allows mid-pathway regeneration of the peroxo intermediate required to complete the biosynthesis. CmlI ensures specificity by carrying out the multistep aryl-amine oxygenation without dissociating intermediate products.

Abstract
The Rieske dioxygenases are a major subclass of mononuclear nonheme iron enzymes that play an important role in bioremediation. Recently, a high-spin FeIII-(hydro)peroxy intermediate (BZDOp) has been trapped in the peroxide shunt reaction of benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase. Defining the structure of this intermediate is essential to understanding the reactivity of these enzymes. Nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) is a recently developed synchrotron technique that is ideal for obtaining vibrational, and thus structural, information on Fe sites, as it gives complete information on all vibrational normal modes containing Fe displacement. In this study, we present NRVS data on BZDOp and assign its structure using these data coupled to experimentally calibrated density functional theory calculations. From this NRVS structure, we define the mechanism for the peroxide shunt reaction. The relevance of the peroxide shunt to the native FeII/O2 reaction is evaluated. For the native FeII/O2 reaction, an FeIII-superoxo intermediate is found to react directly with substrate. This process, while uphill thermodynamically, is found to be driven by the highly favorable thermodynamics of proton-coupled electron transfer with an electron provided by the Rieske [2Fe-2S] center at a later step in the reaction. These results offer important insight into the relative reactivities of FeIII-superoxo and FeIII-hydroperoxo species in nonheme Fe biochemistry.

Abstract
A growing subset of metalloenzymes activates dioxygen with nonheme diiron active sites to effect substrate oxidations that range from the hydroxylation of methane and the desaturation of fatty acids to the deformylation of fatty aldehydes to produce alkanes and the six-electron oxidation of aminoarenes to nitroarenes in the biosynthesis of antibiotics. A common feature of their reaction mechanisms is the formation of O2 adducts that evolve into more reactive derivatives such as diiron(II,III)-superoxo, diiron(III)-peroxo, diiron(III,IV)-oxo, and diiron(IV)-oxo species, which carry out particular substrate oxidation tasks. In this review, we survey the various enzymes belonging to this unique subset and the mechanisms by which substrate oxidation is carried out. We examine the nature of the reactive intermediates, as revealed by X-ray crystallography and the application of various spectroscopic methods and their associated reactivity. We also discuss the structural and electronic properties of the model complexes that have been found to mimic salient aspects of these enzyme active sites. Much has been learned in the past 25 years, but key questions remain to be answered.

Abstract
The final step in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic chloramphenicol is the oxidation of an aryl-amine substrate to an aryl-nitro product catalyzed by the N-oxygenase CmlI in three two-electron steps. The CmlI active site contains a diiron cluster ligated by three histidine and four glutamate residues and activates dioxygen to perform its role in the biosynthetic pathway. It was previously shown that the active oxidant used by CmlI to facilitate this chemistry is a peroxo-diferric intermediate (CmlIP). Spectroscopic characterization demonstrated that the peroxo binding geometry of CmlIP is not consistent with the μ-1,2 mode commonly observed in nonheme diiron systems. Its geometry was tentatively assigned as μ-η2:η1 based on comparison with resonance Raman (rR) features of mixed-metal model complexes in the absence of appropriate diiron models. Here, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and rR studies have been used to establish a refined structure for the diferric cluster of CmlIP. The rR experiments carried out with isotopically labeled water identified the symmetric and asymmetric vibrations of an Fe-O-Fe unit in the active site at 485 and 780 cm-1, respectively, which was confirmed by the 1.83 Å Fe-O bond observed by XAS. In addition, a unique Fe···O scatterer at 2.82 Å observed from XAS analysis is assigned as arising from the distal O atom of a μ-1,1-peroxo ligand that is bound symmetrically between the irons. The (μ-oxo)(μ-1,1-peroxo)diferric core structure associated with CmlIP is unprecedented among diiron cluster-containing enzymes and corresponding biomimetic complexes. Importantly, it allows the peroxo-diferric intermediate to be ambiphilic, acting as an electrophilic oxidant in the initial N-hydroxylation of an arylamine and then becoming a nucleophilic oxidant in the final oxidation of an aryl-nitroso intermediate to the aryl-nitro product.
