CHLOROPEROXIDASE FROM THE FUNGUS CURVULARIA INAEQUALIS
OverviewOverview
The chloroperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.-) from the fungus Curvularia inaequalis, belongs to a class of vanadium enzymes that oxidize halides in the, presence of hydrogen peroxide to the corresponding hypohalous acids. The, 2.1 A crystal structure (R = 20%) of an azide chloroperoxidase complex, reveals the geometry of the catalytic vanadium center. Azide coordinates, directly to the metal center, resulting in a structure with azide, three, nonprotein oxygens, and a histidine as ligands. In the native state, vanadium will be bound as hydrogen vanadate(V) in a trigonal bipyramidal, coordination with the metal coordinated to three oxygens in the equatorial, plane, to the OH group at one apical position, and to the epsilon 2, nitrogen of a histidine at the other apical position. The protein fold is, mainly alpha-helical with two four-helix bundles as main structural motifs, and an overall structure different from other structures. The helices pack, together to a compact molecule, which explains the high stability of the, protein. An amino acid sequence comparison with vanadium-containing, bromoperoxidase from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum shows high, similarities in the regions of the metal binding site, with all hydrogen, vanadate(V) interacting residues conserved except for lysine-353, which is, an asparagine.
