Reduced (Cu+) peptidylglycine alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase with bound peptide and dioxygen

Overview

Copper active sites play a major role in enzymatic activation of dioxygen., We trapped the copper-dioxygen complex in the enzyme, peptidylglycine-alphahydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM) by freezing protein, crystals that had been soaked with a slow substrate and ascorbate in the, presence of oxygen. The x-ray crystal structure of this precatalytic, complex, determined to 1.85-angstrom resolution, shows that oxygen binds, to one of the coppers in the enzyme with an end-on geometry. Given this, structure, it is likely that dioxygen is directly involved in the electron, transfer and hydrogen abstraction steps of the PHM reaction. These, insights may apply to other copper oxygen-activating enzymes, such as, dopamine beta-monooxygenase, and to the design of biomimetic complexes.
