Hydrogenase maturation endopeptidases are crucial enzymes. They process the large subunit of [NiFe]-hydrogenases, enabling metal center bridging and closure for enzyme activity.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Enzymology
  • Structural Biology

Background:

  • [NiFe]-hydrogenases are vital enzymes catalyzing hydrogen oxidation/production.
  • Their maturation involves complex post-translational modifications.
  • Hydrogenase maturation endopeptidases perform a critical terminal processing step.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the structural characteristics of hydrogenase maturation endopeptidases.
  • To summarize knowledge on their substrate specificity.
  • To discuss the proposed reaction mechanism of these enzymes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of structural, biochemical, and mechanistic studies.
  • Analysis of published data on enzyme-substrate interactions.
  • Compilation of proposed catalytic pathways.

Main Results:

  • Endopeptidases cleave a C-terminal extension from the large subunit precursor.
  • This cleavage induces a conformational change essential for metal center maturation.
  • The process facilitates bridging of Fe and Ni atoms by a cysteine thiolate.

Conclusions:

  • Hydrogenase maturation endopeptidases are key regulators of [NiFe]-hydrogenase activity.
  • Understanding their structure and mechanism is crucial for enzyme function.
  • Further research can elucidate specific substrate interactions and catalytic details.
