Radical Enzymes PPO N PPO O N O HO OH HO Jian Jin MacMillan Group Meeting November 23, 2015 Enzymes ■ Definition ■ Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts. ■ Catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. ■ Most enzymes are proteins, a few are catalytic RNA molecules. ■ Structure ■ Enzymes are linear chains of amino acids that fold to produce a three-dimensional structure. ■ The sequence of the amino acids specifies the structure. ■ The structure determines the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Blake, C. C.; Koenig, D. F.; Mair, G. A.; North, A. C.; Phillips, D. C.; Sarma, V. R. Nature, 1965, 206, 757. Enzymes ■ Substrate Binding Enzymes must bind their substrates before they can catalyze any chemical reaction. ■ "Key and lock" model: In 1894, Emil Fischer proposed: the enzyme and the substrate fit exactly into one another. ■ Induced fit model: In 1958, Daniel Koshland suggested a modification: the active site is continuously reshaped by interactions with the substrate. no exact fit of substrate and enzyme substrate binding enzyme changes shape by induced fit Fischer, E. Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin, 1894, 27, 2985. Koshland, D. E. PNAS, USA, 1958, 44, 98. Enzymes ■ Cofactors ■ Some enzymes do not need additional components to show full activity. Others require non-protein molecules called cofactors to be bound for activity. ■ Cofactors can be either inorganic or organic compounds.

SAM radical Enzymes ■ Introduction To date, there are about 40 different radical reactions catalyzed by characterized SAM radical enzymes. The 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical initiates catalysis generally by hydrogen atom abstraction from the substrate. ■ Classes of SAM radical enzymes ■ Recylcling SAM radical enzymes: the resulting 5'-deoxyadenosine is recycled to regenerate SAM. ■ Irreversible SAM radical enzymes: 5'-deoxyadenosine is dumped irreversibly.

  • Abstract Gas-Phase Chemistry of Tryptophan

    Abstract Gas-Phase Chemistry of Tryptophan

    ABSTRACT GAS-PHASE CHEMISTRY OF TRYPTOPHAN-BASED RADICALS Andrii Piatkivskyi, Ph.D. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Northern Illinois University, 2014 Victor Ryzhov, Director This work is devoted to the fundamental study of gas-phase tryptophan-based radical cations. It covers: mechanisms of the radical ion formation in the gas-phase; the description and contrast of the two types of tryptophan side chain radicals (π and N-indolyl) based on their reactivities, infrared spectra, structural energetics and fragmentation patterns; investigation of the N-indolyl tryptophan radical cation fragmentation pathways; formation of the two types of tryptophan radicals (π and N-indolyl) within short peptides; their characterization and comparison based on the fragmentation patterns and reactivity; and gas-phase study of intramolecular radical migration from tryptophan to cysteine and from tryptophan to tyrosine side chains within short peptides. Two different approaches were followed to regiospecifically form desired radicals on the tryptophan side chain. The tryptophan π-radical cation was formed via electron transfer during dissociation of ternary metal complex ([CuII(terpy)(Trp)] 2+), while N-indolyl radical was formed by the homolytic cleavage of the NO group from the N-nitrosylated tryptophan during gas-phase fragmentation. Both radicals were exposed to the low-energy collision-induced dissociation in order to elucidate and contrast their fragmentation. To estimate the fragmentation pathway of the N-indolyl tryptophan radical cation, additional experiments (including H/D exchange, dissociation of tryptophan derivatives and DFT calculations) were carried out. The radical reactivity has been tested via gas-phase ion-molecule reactions with benzeneselenol, 1-propanethiol and di-tert-butyl nitroxide.

    Dietary Reference Intakes for Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, and Choline http://www.nap.edu/catalog/6015.html 9 Vitamin B12 SUMMARY Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) functions as a coenzyme for a critical methyl transfer reaction that converts homocysteine to methionine and for a separate reaction that converts L-methylmalonyl- coenzyme A (CoA) to succinyl-CoA. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin B12 is based on the amount needed for the maintenance of hematological status and normal serum vitamin B12 values. An assumed absorption of 50 percent is in- cluded in the recommended intake. The RDA for adults is 2.4 µg/ day of vitamin B12. Because 10 to 30 percent of older people may be unable to absorb naturally occurring vitamin B12, it is advisable for those older than 50 years to meet their RDA mainly by consum- ing foods fortified with vitamin B12 or a vitamin B12-containing supplement. Individuals with vitamin B12 deficiency caused by a lack of intrinsic factor require medical treatment. The median intake of vitamin B12 from food in the United States was estimated to be approximately 5 µg/day for men and 3.5 µg/day for women. The ninety-fifth percentile of vitamin B12 intake from both food and supplements was approximately 27 µg/day. In one Canadian province the mean dietary intake was estimated to be approxi- mately 7 µg/day for men and 4 µg/day for women. There is not sufficient scientific evidence to set a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for vitamin B12 at this time.

  • Design and Fine-Tuning Redox Potentials of Metalloproteins Involved in Electron Transfer in Bioenergetics

    Design and Fine-Tuning Redox Potentials of Metalloproteins Involved in Electron Transfer in Bioenergetics

    1 Design and Fine-tuning Redox Potentials of Metalloproteins Involved in Electron Transfer in Bioenergetics Parisa Hosseinzadeh and Yi Lu Abstract: 1. Introduction A significant portion of biological processes are involved with providing vital energy sources such as ATP, and controlling the flow of energy through living systems. These bioenergetics processes, the most important of which are photosynthesis and respiration, require electron transfer (ET) between different redox partners. Metalloproteins are one of the most widely used ET centers in biology. They can be classified into three major classes: cupredoxins, which include type 1 copper (T1Cu) proteins and CuA centers [1- 10], cytochromes [10-17], and iron-sulfur (FeS) proteins [10,18-24]. Each class of ET proteins transfer electrons between different redox partners which possess different reduction potentials (E°) (Figure 1). Therefore, the ET centers need to adjust their E° in a way that matches those of their redox partners. No single class of protein can cover the entire range of physiological E°, which is between ~ -1V, at which protons are reduced to H2, and 1V, at which water is oxidized to O2. Cupredoxins usually function at the high end of the E°, while FeS proteins are mostly involved in ET reactions possessing relatively low E° [10]. The E°’s of FeS proteins overlap significantly with those of cytochromes that often have intermediate E° among the three classes of ET proteins. Figure 1. Reduction potential range of metal centers in electron transfer metalloprotein. Adapted from ref. [10] 2 In this review, we first describe the importance of tuning E° of ET centers, including the metalloproteins described above.

SPORMANN * Environmental Engineering and Science, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,1 and Department of Biological Sciences,2 Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-4020 Received 18 May 2001/Accepted 23 August 2001 Biochemical studies in Azoarcus sp. strain T have demonstrated that anaerobic oxidation of both toluene and m-xylene is initiated by addition of the aromatic hydrocarbon to fumarate, forming benzylsuccinate and 3-methyl benzylsuccinate, respectively. Partially purified benzylsuccinate synthase was previously shown to catalyze both of these addition reactions. In this study, we identified and sequenced the genes encoding benzylsuccinate synthase from Azoarcus sp. strain T and examined the role of this enzyme in both anaerobic toluene and m-xylene mineralization. Based on reverse transcription-PCR experiments and transcriptional start site mapping, we found that the structural genes encoding benzylsuccinate synthase, bssCAB, together with two additional genes, bssD and bssE, were organized in an operon in the order bssDCABE. bssD is believed to encode an activating enzyme, similar in function to pyruvate formate-lyase activase. bssE shows homology Downloaded from to tutH from Thauera aromatica strain T1, whose function is currently unknown. A second operon that is upstream of bssDCABE and divergently transcribed contains two genes, tdiS and tdiR.

They possess interesting biological properties such as antibiotic or anticancer activities, making them attractive for therapeutic applications. In contrast to polyketides and non-ribosomal peptides, RiPPs derive from ribosomal peptides and are post-translationally modified by diverse enzyme families.
