Publication Abstract from PubMed Catalytic long-range proton transfer in [NiFe]-hydrogenases has long been associated with a highly conserved glutamate (E) situated within 4 A of the active site. Substituting for glutamine (Q) in the O2-tolerant [NiFe]-hydrogenase-1 from Escherichia coli produces a variant (E28Q) with unique properties that have been investigated using protein film electrochemistry, protein film infrared electrochemistry, and X-ray crystallography. At pH 7 and moderate potential, E28Q displays approximately 1% of the activity of the native enzyme, high enough to allow detailed infrared measurements under steady-state conditions. Atomic-level crystal structures reveal partial displacement of the amide side chain by a hydroxide ion, the occupancy of which increases with pH or under oxidizing conditions supporting formation of the superoxidized state of the unusual proximal [4Fe-3S] cluster located nearby. Under these special conditions, the essential exit pathway for at least one of the H(+) ions produced by H2 oxidation, and assumed to be blocked in the E28Q variant, is partially repaired. During steady-state H2 oxidation at neutral pH (i.e., when the barrier to H(+) exit via Q28 is almost totally closed), the catalytic cycle is dominated by the reduced states "Nia-R" and "Nia-C", even under highly oxidizing conditions. Hence, E28 is not involved in the initial activation/deprotonation of H2, but facilitates H(+) exit later in the catalytic cycle to regenerate the initial oxidized active state, assumed to be Nia-SI. Accordingly, the oxidized inactive resting state, "Ni-B", is not produced by E28Q in the presence of H2 at high potential because Nia-SI (the precursor for Ni-B) cannot accumulate. The results have important implications for understanding the catalytic mechanism of [NiFe]-hydrogenases and the control of long-range proton-coupled electron transfer in hydrogenases and other enzymes.
