ISOPENICILLIN N SYNTHASE AMINOADIPOYL-CYSTEINYL-ALANINE-FE COMPLEX
OverviewOverview
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS), a non-heme iron(II)-dependent oxidase, catalyzes conversion of the tripeptide, delta-(l-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine (ACV) to bicyclic, isopenicillin N (IPN), concomitant with the reduction of dioxygen to two, molecules of water. Incubation of the "truncated"substrate analogues, delta-(l-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-glycine (ACG) and, delta-(l-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-alanine (ACA) with IPNS has, previously been shown to afford acyclic products, in which the substrate, cysteinyl residue has undergone a two-electron oxidation. We report X-ray, crystal structures for the anaerobic IPNS/Fe(II)/ACG and IPNS/Fe(II)/ACA, complexes, both in the absence and presence of the dioxygen analogue, nitric oxide. The overall protein structures are very similar to those of, the corresponding IPNS/Fe(II)/ACV complexes; however, significant, differences are apparent in the vicinity of the active site iron. The, structure of the IPNS/Fe(II)/ACG complex reveals that the C-terminal, carboxylate of this substrate is oriented toward the active site iron, atom, apparently hydrogen-bonded to an additional water ligand at the, metal; this is a different binding mode to that observed in the, IPNS/Fe(II)/ACV complex. ACA binds to the metal in a manner that is, intermediate between those observed for ACV and ACG. The addition of NO to, these complexes initiates conformational changes such that both the, IPNS/Fe(II)/ACG/NO and IPNS/Fe(II)/ACA/NO structures closely resemble the, IPNS/Fe(II)/ACV/NO complex. These results further demonstrate the, feasibility of metal-centered rearrangements in catalysis by non-heme iron, enzymes and provide insight into the delicate balance between, hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions and steric effects in the IPNS active, site.
