Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The α-keto acid dependent dioxygenases are a major subgroup within the O2-activating mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes. For this class, the resting ferrous, the substrate plus cofactor-bound ferrous, and the Fe(IV)=O sites of the reaction have been well studied. The initial O2-binding and activation steps are experimentally inaccessible and thus are not well understood. In this study, NO is used as an O2 analog to probe the effects of α-keto acid binding in 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). A combination of EPR, UV-vis absorption, MCD, and VTVH MCD spectroscopies in conjunction with computational models is used to explore the HPPD-NO and HPPD-HPP-NO complexes. New spectroscopic features are observed which result from α-keto acid binding to the {FeNO}7 site. The α-keto acid ligand is a strong donor which promotes the transfer of charge from Fe to NO. The calculations are extended to the O2 reaction coordinate where the strong donation associated with α-keto acid binding promotes a new, S=1 bridged Fe(IV)-peroxy species. These studies provide insight into the effects of a strong donor ligand on O2 binding and activation by Fe(II) in the α-keto acid dependent dioxygenases and are likely relevant to other subgroups in the O2 activating non-heme ferrous enzymes.
