Generation and electron paramagnetic resonance spin trapping detection of thiyl radicals in model proteins and in the R1 subunit of Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase.

Abstract:

:In the Escherichia coli class Ia ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), the best characterized RNR, there is no spectroscopic evidence for the existence of the postulated catalytically essential thiyl radical (R-S(*)) in the substrate binding subunit R1. We report first results on artificially generated thiyl radicals in R1 using two different methods: chemical oxidation by Ce(IV)/nitrilotriacetate (NTA) and laser photolysis of nitric oxide from nitrosylated cysteines. In both cases, EPR spin trapping at room temperature using phenyl-N-t-butylnitrone, and controls with chemically blocked cysteines, has shown that the observed spin adduct originates from thiyl radicals. The EPR line shape of the protein-bound spin adduct is typical for slow motion of the nitroxide moiety, which indicates that the majority of trapped thiyl radicals are localized in a folded region of R1. In aerobic R1 samples without spin trap that were frozen after treatment with Ce(IV)/NTA or laser photolysis, we observed sulfinyl radicals (R-S(*)=O) assigned via their g-tensor components 2.0213, 2.0094, and 2.0018 and the hyperfine tensor components 1.0, 1.1, and 0.9 mT of one beta-proton. Sulfinyl radicals are the reaction products of thiyl radicals and oxygen and give additional evidence for generation of thiyl radicals in R1 by the procedures used.
