The reactions of recombinant cytochrome c peroxidase [CcP(MI)] and a number of CcP(MI) mutants with native and ruthenium-labeled horse ferrocytochrome c have been studied by stopped-flow spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis. At 100 mM ionic strength, pH 7.5, native horse ferrocytochrome c reduces the radical on the indole group of Trp-191 in cytochrome c peroxidase compound I (CMPI) with a second-order rate constant of 1.3 x 10(8) M-1 s-1. Ferrocytochrome c then reduces the oxyferryl heme Fe(IV) in CMPII with a rate constant of 2.0 x 10(6) M-1 s-1. The rate constant for the reduction of the radical is nearly independent of pH from 5 to 8, but the rate constant for reduction of the oxyferryl heme Fe(IV) increases 33-fold as the pH is decreased from 8 to 5. This increase in rate is correlated with the pH dependence of the electron transfer equilibrium between the radical and the oxyferryl heme Fe(IV) in the transient form of CMPII. The second-order rate constants for reduction of the radical and the oxyferryl heme in the mutants Y39F, Y42F, H181G, W223F, and Y229F are nearly the same as for wild-type CcP(MI). The intracomplex rate constants for reduction of the radical in these mutants by the ruthenium-labeled cytochrome c derivatives are also similar to that for CcP(MI). This rules out a direct role for these aromatic residues in electron transfer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Article Synopsis
- - NHM-Fe enzymes are diverse in their catalytic abilities, featuring simple iron centers ligated by amino acids like histidine and aspartic acid.
- - A commonly found reactive iron intermediate, the S=2 oxyferryl (Fe(IV)-oxo), has been identified in certain NHM-Fe enzymes, but no common intermediate was known for 3-His/4-His-Fe enzymes until recently.
- - The review highlights the discovery of the first S=1 Fe(IV) intermediate in the enzyme OvoA, discussing its significance, differences from the S=2 species, and potential implications for other similar enzymes.
Interactive Regulation between Aliphatic Hydroxylation and Aromatic Hydroxylation of Thaxtomin D in TxtC: A Theoretical Investigation.

TxtC is an unusual bifunctional cytochrome P450 that is able to perform sequential aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation of the diketopiperazine substrate thaxtomin D in two distinct sites to produce thaxtomin A. Though the X-ray structure of TxtC complexed with thaxtomin D revealed a binding mode for its aromatic hydroxylation, the preferential hydroxylation site is aliphatic C. It is thus intriguing to unravel how TxtC accomplishes such two-step catalytic hydroxylation on distinct aliphatic and aromatic carbons and why the aliphatic site is preferred in the hydroxylation step.

This work describes the rational amelioration of mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 in a human hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (hH-PGDS) inhibitor (cpd 1). We utilized metabolism reports in order to check if patterns in the metabolism of 1 and similar compounds by CYP3A4 could be deciphered. Then we used structure based design, first modifying the CYP3A4 crystal structure (pdb code: 4NY4) by adding an oxyferryl moiety to the heme, followed by validating the modified structure to obtain the 1' and 4 position oxidation products of midazolam and then recapitulating the metabolism patterns deciphered previously for 1 and analogs.

Stable nitroxide radicals have multiple biological effects, although the mechanisms underlying them are not fully understood. Their protective effect against oxidative damage has been mainly attributed to scavenging deleterious radicals, oxidizing reduced metal ions and reducing oxyferryl centers of heme proteins. Yet, the potential of nitroxides to protect heme proteins against inactivation while suppressing or enhancing their catalytic activities has been largely overlooked.

Cyclooxygenases (COXs) are heme-containing sequence homodimers that utilize tyrosyl radical-based catalysis to oxygenate substrates. Tyrosyl radicals are formed from a single turnover of substrate in the peroxidase active site generating an oxy-ferryl porphyrin cation radical intermediate that subsequently gives rise to a Tyr-385 radical in the cyclooxygenase active site and a Tyr-504 radical nearby. We have utilized double-quantum coherence (DQC) spectroscopy to determine the distance distributions between Tyr-385 and Tyr-504 radicals in COX-2.
