ISOPENICILLIN N SYNTHASE FROM ASPERGILLUS NIDULANS (OXYGEN EXPOSED PRODUCT FROM ANAEROBIC ACOV FE COMPLEX)
Overview
BACKGROUND: Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyses formation of, bicyclic isopenicillin N, precursor to all penicillin and cephalosporin, antibiotics, from the linear tripeptide, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine. IPNS is a non-haem, iron(II)-dependent enzyme which utilises the full oxidising potential of, molecular oxygen in catalysing the bicyclisation reaction. The reaction, mechanism is believed to involve initial formation of the beta-lactam ring, (via a thioaldehyde intermediate) to give an iron(IV)-oxo species, which, then mediates closure of the 5-membered thiazolidine ring. RESULTS: Here, we report experiments employing time-resolved crystallography to observe, turnover of an isosteric substrate analogue designed to intercept the, catalytic pathway at an early stage. Reaction in the crystalline, enzyme-substrate complex was initiated by the application of high-pressure, oxygen, and subsequent flash freezing allowed an oxygenated product to be, trapped, bound at the iron centre. A mechanism for formation of the, observed thiocarboxylate product is proposed. CONCLUSIONS: In the absence, of its natural reaction partner (the N-H proton of the, L-cysteinyl-D-valine amide bond), the proposed hydroperoxide intermediate, appears to attack the putative thioaldehyde species directly. These, results shed light on the events preceding beta-lactam closure in the IPNS, reaction cycle, and enhance our understanding of the mechanism for, reaction of the enzyme with its natural substrate.
