To survive in the host, the T. cruzi parasite needs antioxidant defense systems. One of these is a hybrid heme peroxidase, the T. cruzi ascorbate peroxidase-cytochrome c peroxidase enzyme (TcAPx-CcP). TcAPx-CcP has high sequence identity to members of the class I peroxidase family, notably ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP), as well as a mitochondrial peroxidase from Leishmania major (LmP). The aim of this work was to solve the structure and examine the reactivity of the TcAPx-CcP enzyme. Low temperature electron paramagnetic resonance spectra support the formation of an exchange-coupled [Fe(IV)=O Trp(233)(*+)] compound I radical species, analogous to that used in CcP and LmP. We demonstrate that TcAPx-CcP is similar in overall structure to APX and CcP, but there are differences in the substrate-binding regions. Furthermore, the electron transfer pathway from cytochrome c to the heme in CcP and LmP is preserved in the TcAPx-CcP structure. Integration of steady state kinetic experiments, molecular dynamic simulations, and bioinformatic analyses indicates that TcAPx-CcP preferentially oxidizes cytochrome c but is still competent for oxidization of ascorbate. The results reveal that TcAPx-CcP is a credible cytochrome c peroxidase, which can also bind and use ascorbate in host cells, where concentrations are in the millimolar range. Thus, kinetically and functionally TcAPx-CcP can be considered a hybrid peroxidase.
