Abstract:
:The reactive intermediates formed in the catalase-peroxidase from Synechocystis PCC6803 upon reaction with peroxyacetic acid, and in the absence of peroxidase substrates, are the oxoferryl-porphyrin radical and two subsequent protein-based radicals that we have previously assigned to a tyrosyl (Tyr()) and tryptophanyl (Trp()) radicals by using multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy combined with deuterium labeling and site-directed mutagenesis. In this work, we have further investigated the Trp() in order to identify the site for the tryptophanyl radical formation, among the 26 Trp residues of the enzyme and to possibly understand the protein constraints that determine the selective formation of this radical. Based on our previous findings about the absence of the Trp() intermediate in four of the Synechocystis catalase-peroxidase variants on the heme distal side (W122F, W106A, H123Q, and R119A) we constructed new variants on Trp122 and Trp106 positions. Trp122 is very close to the iron on the heme distal side while Trp106 belongs to a short stretch (11 amino acid residues on the enzyme surface) that is highly conserved in catalase-peroxidases. We have used EPR spectroscopy to characterize the changes on the heme microenvironment induced by these mutations as well as the chemical nature of the radicals formed in each variant. Our findings identify Trp106 as the tryptophanyl radical site in Synechocystis catalase-peroxidase. The W122H and W106Y variants were specially designed to mimic the hydrogen-bond interactions of the naturally occurring Trp residues. These variants clearly demonstrated the important role of the extensive hydrogen-bonding network of the heme distal side, in the formation of the tryptophanyl radical. Moreover, the fact that W106Y is the only Synechocystis catalase-peroxidase variant of the distal heme side that recovers a catalase activity comparable to the WT enzyme, strongly indicates that the integrity of the extensive hydrogen-bonding network is also essential for the catalatic activity of the enzyme.
