ISOPENICILLIN N SYNTHASE WITH L-D-(A-AMINOADIPOYL)-L-CYSTEINYL-D-ISODEHYDROVALINE
Overview
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-haem iron oxidase that catalyses, the formation of bicyclic isopenicillin N from, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV). In this study we, report a novel activity for the iron of the IPNS active site, which, behaves as a Lewis acid to catalyse the elimination of HF from the, fluorinated substrate analogue, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-beta-fluorovaline (ACbetaFV)., X-Ray crystallographic studies of IPNS crystals grown anaerobically with, ACbetaFV reveal that the valinyl beta-fluorine is missing from the active, site region, and suggest the presence of the unsaturated tripeptide, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-isodehydrovaline in place of, substrate ACbetaFV. (19)F NMR studies confirm the release of fluoride from, ACbetaFV in the presence of the active IPNS enzyme. These results suggest, a new mode of reactivity for the IPNS iron centre, a mechanism of action, that has not previously been reported for any of the iron oxidase enzymes.
