The role of protein crystallography in defining the mechanisms of biogenesis and catalysis in copper amine oxidase. Int J Mol Sci 2012; 13:5375-5405. [PMID: 22754303 PMCID: PMC3382800 DOI: 10.3390/ijms13055375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2012] [Revised: 04/22/2012] [Accepted: 04/26/2012] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Copper amine oxidases (CAOs) are a ubiquitous group of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of primary amines to aldehydes coupled to the reduction of O2 to H2O2. These enzymes utilize a wide range of substrates from methylamine to polypeptides. Changes in CAO activity are correlated with a variety of human diseases, including diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer’s disease, and inflammatory disorders. CAOs contain a cofactor, 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone (TPQ), that is required for catalytic activity and synthesized through the post-translational modification of a tyrosine residue within the CAO polypeptide. TPQ generation is a self-processing event only requiring the addition of oxygen and Cu(II) to the apoCAO. Thus, the CAO active site supports two very different reactions: TPQ synthesis, and the two electron oxidation of primary amines. Crystal structures are available from bacterial through to human sources, and have given insight into substrate preference, stereospecificity, and structural changes during biogenesis and catalysis. In particular both these processes have been studied in crystallo through the addition of native substrates. These latter studies enable intermediates during physiological turnover to be directly visualized, and demonstrate the power of this relatively recent development in protein crystallography.

Abstract
A previously unknown redox cofactor has been identified in the active site of lysyl oxidase from the bovine aorta. Edman sequencing, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectra, and resonance Raman studies showed that this cofactor is a quinone. Its structure is derived from the crosslinking of the epsilon-amino group of a peptidyl lysine with the modified side chain of a tyrosyl residue, and it has been designated lysine tyrosylquinone. This quinone appears to be the only example of a mammalian cofactor formed from the crosslinking of two amino acid side chains. This discovery expands the range of known quino-cofactor structures and has implications for the mechanism of their biogenesis.

Abstract
Much conflicting data have appeared in the literature regarding the nature of the active site structures responsible for catalysis in three classes of copper enzymes: the copper amine oxidases, dopamine beta-monooxygenase and galactose oxidase. Although pyrroloquinoline quinone has been proposed to be the active site cofactor in each instance, new findings indicate this is not the case. Instead, recently available data indicate a spectrum of strategies for substrate activation, which range from direct metal catalysis (dopamine beta-monooxygenase) to the involvement of protein-derived radicals (galactose oxidase) and protein-derived quinones (copper amine oxidases).

Abstract
The carbonyl cofactor of bovine plasma amine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6), recently shown to be 6-hydroxydopa (also known as topa), has been spin labeled to the extent of one label per enzyme dimer molecule, using 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (4-amino-TEMPO) and 4-hydrazino-TEMPO followed by reduction with borohydride. By studying the EPR spectra of the labeled enzyme, it has been deduced that there is no magnetic interaction between the copper and the spin label, and that the spin label is at least 1.3 nm distant from the copper(II) ion in the resting enzyme. The bound label is strongly immobilized, is in a sterically constricted environment, and is not accessible to small anions. Removal of the copper does not alter the EPR spectrum of the label. The results are similar to results for porcine plasma amine oxidase, and show that the copper is not close to, and does not directly interact with, the topa-bound substrate.

Abstract
Soybean isoenzymes lipoxygenases-1, -2a, -2b and -2c were examined spectroscopically for the presence of covalently bound pyrrolo quinoline quinone (PQQ) after derivatization by phenylhydrazine (PH), 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH). DNPH derivatization of PQQ after a pronase digestion step of lipoxygenase-1 in the presence of an anion exchange gel fixing the cofactor was also investigated. None of these experiments provided evidence for the presence of PQQ contrary to previous report by Van der Meer et al (1). We have checked, by EPR spectroscopy, that the three reactants used were able to reduce the active site ferric iron. Our results were confirmed by the absence of enzyme inhibition by cis- and trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane or benzylamine in the presence of NaBH3CN which have been reported to react with PQQ and to inactivate quinoproteins (2,3).

Abstract
The identification of the organic cofactor of pig plasma benzylamine oxidase is described. Acid hydrolysis of the enzyme in argon in the presence of phenylhydrazine (6 h at 115 degrees C in 0.027 M sulphuric acid) allowed the isolation of an adduct which was purified by HPLC and identified as phenylhydrazone of pyridoxal by spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry and mass spectrometry.

Abstract
An active site, cofactor-containing peptide has been obtained in high yield from bovine serum amine oxidase. Sequencing of this pentapeptide indicates: Leu-Asn-X-Asp-Tyr. Analysis of the peptide by mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance leads to the identification of X as 6-hydroxydopa. This result indicates that, contrary to previous proposals, pyrroloquinoline quinone is not the active site cofactor in mammalian copper amine oxidases. Although 6-hydroxydopa has been implicated in neurotoxicity, the data presented suggest that this compound has a functional role at an enzyme active site.

Abstract
A method for the isolation and identification of covalently bound pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) contained in some enzymatic proteins is presented. The method involves acid hydrolysis of the protein in the presence of phenylhydrazine, separation of the adduct by elution from Sep-Pak C18 cartridges, isolation by HPLC, and either direct analysis by mass spectrometry with direct electron impact or conversion into trimethylsilyl derivatives followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Under the prescribed conditions of hydrolysis, PLP forms its phenylhydrazone and is released from the protein and hydrolyzed to the phenylhydrazone of pyridoxal, which shows a typical fragmentation in direct electron impact and in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after silylation. The yield in phenylhydrazone of pyridoxal is on the order of 50% (+/- 5% SE, n = 15) when PLP is added to 10 mg of protein in amounts ranging from 20 to 40 nmol. Analysis of pig plasma benzylamine oxidase by this procedure confirms the presence of covalently bound pyridoxal phosphate in this enzyme.

Abstract
Methylamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) from Arthrobacter P1 was inactivated by NaCNBH3 in the presence of [14C]benzylamine, leading to the incorporation of 1 mol of radiolabeled substrate/mol of enzyme subunit at complete inactivation. By contrast, no labeling of enzyme was observed using [3H]NaCNBH3 as reductant. These results are analogous to those previously reported for the eukaryotic enzyme, bovine serum plasma amine oxidase [(1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 962-965]. The observed pattern of labeling is consistent with the presence of dicarbonyl cofactor at the active site of methylamine oxidase. Further, these studies suggest that our reductive trapping technique, in which the pattern of radiolabeling of an enzyme is compared using C-14 substrate vs tritiated reductant, may serve as a general assay for covalently bound dicarbonyl structures.

Abstract
Methylamine oxidase (MAOx) from Gram-positive soil bacterium Arthrobacter P1 catalyzes the oxidation of CH3NH2 to H2C = O and NH4+ via reduction of O2 to H2O2. Past work indicates that MAOx is similar to mammalian plasma amine oxidase (PAO) and diamine oxidase (DAO), plant DAO, and yeast peroxisomal amine oxidase (YAO). All have Mr congruent to 170,000 and are composed of 2 identical subunits, each of which contains 1 atom of Cu(II) and one molecule of quinonoid cofactor. Herein, we report further evidence as to the striking similarity of these enzymes, and describe properties of MAOx which offer insights into understanding the eukaryotic oxidases. It is our belief that the structure of the quinone cofactor, and the Cu(II) site in MAOx are identical to these sites in PAO and DAO.

Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase enzymes (SSAO) are found in animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. In vertebrates, their distribution in tissues and blood plasma varies between species. Studies of the SSAO enzymes have concentrated on their biochemical identities separate from those of MAO. Attention is now being paid to their possible physiological and pharmacological significance. These may include, besides the scavenging of circulating amines, functions dependent upon the hydrogen peroxide these enzymes produce. Modulation, by SSAO, of blood vessel tone may be due to the control of amine concentration itself or to actions of released peroxide. In the plasma the activity of SSAO may be susceptible to hormonal control as well as being an indicator of copper status of the animal. However, SSAO may convert xenobiotics to more toxic metabolites. Use of highly selective SSAO inhibitors, such as procarbazine and B24 should enable these preliminary observations to be examined further.

Abstract
The best conditions for extractions of free pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) from crude biological samples were investigated with various organic solvents and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges. PQQ was measured with use of its native fluorescence in aqueous solution. PQQ was well extracted into n-butanol under acid conditions, and addition of NaCl did not improve the solvent extraction. PQQ, which had been extracted into n-butanol, could be re-extracted into an aqueous phase by addition of either n-heptane or pyridine, or combination of them. PQQ, which had been adsorbed to Sep-Pak C18 cartridges, could be eluted with a mixture of pyridine and water with very excellent recovery. The recovery of 1 micrograms PQQ, which had been added to 1 g human liver, brain and 1 ml plasma and had undergone the n-butanol and the Sep-Pak extractions, was 50, 75 and 105%, respectively. From the blank fluorescence, endogenous levels of free PQQ in human liver, brain and plasma were found not greater than 0.41, 0.08 and 0.13 micrograms/g or ml, respectively, if present.

Abstract
Amine oxidase from pig plasma (PPAO) has two bound Cu2+ ions and at least one pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) moiety as cofactors. It is shown that recovery of activity by copper-depleted PPAO is linear with respect to added Cu2+ ions. Recovery of e.s.r. and optical spectral characteristics of active-site copper parallel the recovery of catalytic activity. These results are consistent with both Cu2+ ions contributing to catalysis. Further e.s.r. studies indicate that the two copper sites in PPAO, unlike those in amine oxidases from other sources, are chemically distinct. These comparative studies establish that non-identity of the Cu2+ ions in PPAO is not a requirement for amine oxidase activity. It is shown through the use of a new assay procedure that there are two molecules of PQQ bound per molecule of protein in PPAO; only the more reactive of these PQQ moieties is required for activity.

Abstract
Recent evidence has revealed that lysyl oxidase, plasma amine oxidase and diamine oxidase each contain copper and pyrroloquinoline quinone at their active sites as cofactors essential to their catalytic functions. It thus seems likely that these enzymes will share similar mechanisms of action. Since mechanism-based inhibitors of lysyl oxidase have important chemotherapeutic potential for the control of fibrotic disease, the relative inhibitory potential of such agents toward catalytically similar amine oxidases was assessed in the present study using purified preparations of lysyl oxidase, diamine oxidase, plasma amine oxidase and the flavin-dependent mitochondrial monoamine oxidase A and B. The results indicate that there is sufficient difference between the sensitivities of lysyl oxidase and the other amine oxidases to beta-aminopropionitrile to warrant its consideration as an antifibrotic agent in vivo, while also revealing that aminoguanidine, clorgyline and deprenyl are sufficiently selective for diamine oxidase, monoamine oxidase A and monoamide oxidase B, respectively, to differentiate between lysyl oxidase and these enzymes at appropriate concentrations.

Abstract
Porcine kidney diamine oxidase, a PQQ-enzyme, can be directly measured by formazan production with putrescine and nitroblue tetrazolium. This cyclic reaction in air is unaffected by superoxide dimutase, suggesting a two electron transfer between substrate-reduced PQQ-locus and nitroblue tetrazolium, without intermediate formation of superoxide. With albumin-bound PQQ and detergent-exposed PQQ-loci, glycine can be oxidized by PQQ and electrons repetitively transferred through PQQ-sites to nitroblue tetrazolium, the rate of formazan production detecting picomoles of exposed PQQ-locus. Exposed PQQ-loci are also reducible with NaCNBH3. Nitroblue tetrazolium, reoxidizes the reduced PQQ-locus with formazan production. These experiments suggest that the PQQ-locus of quinoproteins contains a [ketone-ketoimine in equilibrium with ketoamine] redox center.

Abstract
9-Hydrazinoacridine irreversibly labeled pig plasma amine oxidase by covalent attachment to the active carbonyl cofactor. The visible absorption spectrum of the modified protein displays new absorption bands at 495 and 525 nm. Its emission spectrum exhibited maxima at 415 and 440 nm. In addition, both absorption and emission spectra were insensitive to pH changes between 6 and 10. Phase modulation fluorometry was used to determine fluorescence lifetimes of Zn2+- and Co2+-substituted acridinyl plasma amine oxidase. Energy transfer efficiency was 22%; the distance separating the Co2+ ion (in the copper binding site) and the acridine moiety (the amine substrate binding site) ranges between 11.7 and 14.7 A. This work defines the proximity of the metal and substrate (and hence the carbonyl cofactor) and precludes any direct interaction between Cu2+ and pyrroloquinoline quinone or between Cu2+ and the substrate.

Abstract
1. Stereospecific deuterated benzylamine enantiomers, R(alpha-2H1)-and S(alpha-2H1)-benzylamine, were synthesized by a combined chemical and enzymatic method. 2. The retention or cleavage of the deuterium atom during deamination of benzylamine catalyzed by amine oxidases from different sources was assessed by a GC-MS procedure and confirmed by HPLC separation of the products and by the observation of a deuterium isotope effect. 3. Three types of stereospecific abstraction of hydrogen atoms from the alpha-carbon of benzylamine during deamination were observed: (a) In the first type of deamination the pro-R hydrogen is removed from the alpha-carbon. Enzymes in this category are mitochondrial MAO from different tissues; (b) The second type of deamination involves the abstraction of pro-S hydrogen. Soluble enzymes such as rat aorta benzylamine oxidase or diamine oxidase from hog kidney and pea seedling have been found to belong to this group; and (c) Bovine plasma amine oxidase exhibits the third type of deamination where no absolute stereospecificity is required. 4. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect during the deamination of benzylamine by the different amine oxidase varies greatly, i.e. VH/VD ranged from 1.7 to 4.0.

Abstract
NN-Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) was able to bind, at 1.0 mM concentration, only about 50% the Cu(II) ions of bovine plasma amine oxidase. Under reducing conditions, this Cu(II) was removed with inactivation of the enzyme. Up to 90% activity could be recovered by treatment with excess Cu(II). The organic cofactor, sensitive to carbonyl reagents, was reduced in the half-Cu-depleted protein and no longer bound phenylhydrazine. The fully reacted protein, in the presence of 10 mM-DDC, lost 50% Cu(II) upon storage at -20 degrees C, but in this case the residual Cu(II) was in the DDC-bound form and the cofactor was in the oxidized state, as it could still bind phenylhydrazine. In the presence of DDC, the rate of reaction with phenylhydrazine was always low, even at 50% DDC saturation, and all derivatives showed identical modifications of the optical and e.p.r. spectra with respect to the phenylhydrazone of the native protein. It is concluded that the two Cu(II) ions are not equivalent, that removal of a single Cu(II) is sufficient to inhibit the re-oxidation of the organic cofactor, and that both Cu(II) ions are in some way involved in the reaction with phenylhydrazine. After reaction with DDC, the optical and e.p.r. spectra of 63Cu(II)-amine oxidase and of 63Cu(II)-carbonic anhydrase [Morpurgo, Desideri, Rigo, Viglino & Rotilio (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 746, 168-175] are very similar and show distorted equatorial co-ordination to Cu(II) of two sulphur atoms and two magnetically equivalent nitrogen atoms.

Abstract
Homogeneous methylamine dehydrogenase (primary-amine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.99.3, MADH) from the bacterium Thiobacillus versutus was treated with the inhibitor phenylhydrazine (PH). Derivatization of the cofactor in MADH took place in a fast reaction to give compound I. A different product, compound II, was formed in a slow reaction at high O2 concentrations. The compounds I and II could be removed from the protein by proteolysis with pronase and purified to homogeneity. Products showing identical absorption spectra and chromatographic behaviour were isolated from the reaction mixture after incubating pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) with PH. Upon dissolving in dimethyl sulphoxide, both the enzyme-derived as well as the model-system-derived compounds I and II were nearly quantitatively transformed into PQQ. The conclusion is, therefore, that MADH from T. versutus contains covalently bound PQQ, removable from the protein with pronase, and not a structural analogue of this cofactor without the carboxylic acid groups, as was recently proposed for MADH from Bacterium W3A1 [(1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 141, 562-568]. The properties of compounds I and II suggest that they are the 'azo adduct' and the 'hydrazone adduct' of PH and PQQ at the C(5)-position, respectively. The finding that the reaction of a hydrazine with PQQ can lead to two different products, in enzymes as well as in a model system, has important implications for the interpretation of recent comparative studies aimed at detection of PQQ in amine oxidoreductases with Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
When the cyanide complex of the copper protein, pig kidney diamine oxidase, is reduced anaerobically by cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane), the broad, 480 nm, absorption band characteristic of the resting enzyme is bleached and a new absorption spectrum with features at 457, 429, 403 (shoulder), 360 (shoulder) and 332 nm appears. Concomitantly, the EPR spectrum of the enzyme Cu(II)-CN complex decreases in intensity and a new signal is observed that is attributable to an organic free radical. The g values and hyperfine splittings are similar to those previously assigned to a free radical observed when the cyanide complex of lentil seedling diamine oxidase is reacted with the substrate p-dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine [(1984) FEBS Lett. 176, 378-380]. The optical absorption and EPR spectra of the organic radical observed in both proteins are consistent with the same semiquinone-type structure, as expected if pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ) is the bound cofactor found in both enzymes.
