Crystal Structure of AauDyP Complexed with Imidazole
Structural highlights
FunctionDYP_AURAJ Manganese-independent peroxidase that is able to convert a large number of compounds, but its physiological substrate is not known. In addition to classic peroxidase substrates (e.g. 2,6-dimethoxyphenol), oxidizes dyes such as Reactive Blue 5 and Reactive Black 5.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedDye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) such as AauDyPI from the fungus Auricularia auricula-judae are able to oxidize substrates of different kinds and sizes. A crystal structure of an AauDyPI-imidazole complex gives insight into the binding patterns of organic molecules within the heme cavity of a DyP. Several small N-containing heterocyclic aromatics are shown to bind in the AauDyPI heme cavity, hinting to susceptibility of DyPs to azole-based inhibitors similar to cytochromes P450. Imidazole is confirmed as a competitive inhibitor with regard to peroxide binding. In contrast, bulky substrates such as anthraquinone dyes are converted at the enzyme surface. In the crystal structure a substrate analog, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), binds to a tyrosine-rich hollow harboring Y25, Y147, and Y337. Spin trapping with a nitric oxide donor uncovers Y229 as an additional tyrosine-based radical center in AauDyPI. Multi-frequency EPR spectroscopy further reveals the presence of at least one intermediate tryptophanyl radical center in activated AauDyPI with W377 as the most likely candidate.
