A combination of pulsed EPR, CW EPR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies has been employed to probe the geometric and electronic structure of the periplasmic molybdenum-dependent methionine sulfoxide reductase (MsrP). O and H pulsed EPR spectra show that the Mo(V) enzyme form does not possess an exchangeable HO/OH ligand bound to Mo as found in the sulfite oxidizing enzymes of the same family. The nature of the unusual CW EPR spectrum has been re-evaluated in light of new data on the MsrP-N45R variant and related small-molecule analogues of the active site. These data point to a novel "thiol-blocked" [(PDT)MoO(S)(thiolate)] structure, which is supported by new EXAFS data. We discuss these new results in the context of ligand-based and metal-based redox chemistry in the enzymatic oxygen atom transfer reaction.
采用脉冲电子顺磁共振(EPR)、连续波 EPR 和 X 射线吸收光谱学相结合的方法,研究了周质钼依赖型蛋氨酸亚砜还原酶(MsrP)的几何和电子结构。O 和 H 脉冲 EPR 谱表明,Mo(V)酶形式不具有与亚硫酸氧化酶家族相同的可交换的 HO/OH 配体结合到 Mo 上。根据 MsrP-N45R 变体和相关活性位点小分子类似物的新数据,重新评估了异常连续波 EPR 谱的性质。这些数据指向一种新的“硫醇封锁”[(PDT)MoO(S)(硫醇盐)]结构,新的 EXAFS 数据支持这一结构。我们在酶促氧原子转移反应中基于配体和基于金属的氧化还原化学的背景下讨论了这些新结果。
