The structure of tryptophan 7-halogenase (PrnA) suggests a mechanism for regioselective chlorination

Overview

Chlorinated natural products include vancomycin and cryptophycin A. Their, biosynthesis involves regioselective chlorination by flavin-dependent, halogenases. We report the structural characterization of tryptophan, 7-halogenase (PrnA), which regioselectively chlorinates tryptophan., Tryptophan and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are separated by a 10, angstrom-long tunnel and bound by distinct enzyme modules. The FAD module, is conserved in halogenases and is related to flavin-dependent, monooxygenases. On the basis of biochemical studies, crystal structures, and by analogy with monooxygenases, we predict that FADH2 reacts with O2, to make peroxyflavin, which is decomposed by Cl-. The resulting HOCl is, guided through the tunnel to tryptophan, where it is activated to, participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution.
