The interaction of CrII with taurine/alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) dioxygenase (TauD) was examined. CrII replaces FeII and binds stoichiometrically with alphaKG to the FeII/alphaKG binding site of the protein, with additional CrII used to generate a chromophore attributed to a CrIII-semiquinone in a small percentage of the sample. Formation of the latter oxygen-sensitive species requires the dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) quinone form of Tyr-73. This preformed side chain is generated by intracellular self-hydroxylation of Tyr-73 to form DOPA, which is subsequently oxidized to the quinone. No chromophore is generated when using NaBH4-treated sample, protein isolated from anaerobically grown cells, inactive TauD variants that are incapable of self-hydroxylation, or the Y73F active mutant of TauD. A CrIII-DOPA semiquinone also was observed in the herbicide hydroxylase SdpA.
研究了CrII与牛磺酸/α-酮戊二酸(αKG)双加氧酶(TauD)的相互作用。CrII取代FeII并与αKG化学计量地结合到蛋白质的FeII/αKG结合位点,在一小部分样品中额外的CrII用于生成归因于CrIII-半醌的发色团。后一种对氧敏感的物种的形成需要Tyr-73的二羟基苯丙氨酸(DOPA)醌形式。这种预先形成的侧链是由Tyr-73的细胞内自羟基化形成DOPA产生的,随后DOPA被氧化为醌。当使用NaBH4处理的样品、从厌氧生长的细胞中分离的蛋白质、不能自羟基化的无活性TauD变体或TauD的Y73F活性突变体时,不会产生发色团。在除草剂羟化酶SdpA中也观察到了CrIII-DOPA半醌。
