OverviewOverview

The binding and oxidation of an artificial substrate, 2-aminothiazole, by, an engineered cavity of cytochrome c peroxidase is described. The W191G, mutant has been shown to create a buried cavity into which a number of, small heterocyclic compounds will bind [Fitzgerald, M. M., Churchill, M., J., McRee, D. E., & Goodin, D. B. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 3807-3818], providing a specific site near the heme from which substrates might be, oxidized. In this study, we show by titration calorimetry that, 2-aminothiazole binds to W191G with a Kd of 0.028 mM at pH 6. A crystal, structure at 2.3 A resolution of W191G in the presence of 2-aminothiazole, reveals the occupation of this compound in the cavity, and indicates that, it is in van der Waals contact with the heme. The WT enzyme reacts with, ... [(full description)]
