まとめ
菌類の酸素酵素FtmOx1は,水素原子直接移転 (HAT) を使用して,ヴェルキュロゲンのエンドペロキシデーションを行う. 重要なチロシン残基であるY68は 最終段階では水素ドナーとして機能し 前のモデルに異議を唱えます
科学分野:
- 生物化学

背景:
- 炭素から鉄への水素原子移転 (HAT) は酵素反応において極めて重要です.
- 酸素リバウンドを防ぐことは,水酸化以外の反応に不可欠です.
- FtmOx1は,真菌の酸素酶であり,以前は,Tyr 224を,verruculogenのバイオシンセシスにおけるHAT中間体として使用すると考えられていた.
研究 の 目的:
- FtmOx1触媒によるベルキュロゲン内酸化のメカニズムを再調査する.
- 最終的な水素原子移転段階に含まれる特定のチロシン残基を特定する.
- 酵素-基板複合ドッキングの改訂モデルを提案する.
主な方法:
- FtmOx1のサイト指向型変異で,候補チロシン残基をフェニララニンで置き換える.
- 異なる酸素濃度下での反応産物の分析
- 放射性中間物質のスペクトル観測
主要な成果:
- C21からフェリル中間体への直接のHATが発生し,競争的な酸素リバウンドが発生します.
- 低酸素濃度では水酸化が促進され,高濃度では内酸化が促進される.
- ミュタゲネシスは,Tyr 224ではなく,Tyr 68をC26の必須の水素ドナーと特定した.
結論:
- このメカニズムは,C21からHATを直接取り込み,最終段階ではTyr 68を重要なH原子ドナーとして識別します.
- 新しいドッキングモデルでは,C21は鉄のコファクター近く,C26はTyr 68の近くにある.
- アスコルバートは,酵素の周回を阻害することなく,一時的なチロシンラジカルを抑制することができます.

Hydrogen Bonds
131.9K
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

Hydrogen Bonds
13.5K
A hydrogen bond is formed when a weakly positive hydrogen atom already bonded to one electronegative atom (for example, the oxygen in the water molecule) is attracted to another electronegative atom from another polar molecule, such as water (H2O), hydrogen fluoride (HF), or ammonia (NH3). The huge electronegativity difference between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded (4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for an N atom), combined with the very small size of an H atom...

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
18.3K
Receptor tyrosine kinases or RTKs are membrane-bound receptors that phosphorylate specific tyrosine on protein substrates. RTKs regulate cellular growth, differentiation, survival, and migration. They contain an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytosolic tail with intrinsic kinase activity. Several extracellular signaling molecules activate RTKs in one or more ways and relay the signal downstream. Ligands such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or...

Radical Formation: Abstraction
4.3K
The electron of an atom can be abstracted from a compound by a relatively unstable radical to generate a new radical of relatively greater stability. For example, an initiator which forms radicals by homolysis can abstract a suitable species like a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom from a compound to generate a new radical. This ability of radicals to propagate by abstraction is a crucial feature of radical chain reactions.
Even though homolysis produces radicals, it is different from radical...

ATP Synthase: Mechanism
16.9K
In animals, the mitochondrial F1F0 ATP synthase is the key protein that synthesizes ATP molecules through a complex catalytic mechanism. While the nuclear genome encodes the majority of ATP synthase subunits, the mitochondrial genome encodes some of the enzyme's most critical components. The formation of this multi-subunit enzyme is a complex multi-step process regulated at the level of transcription, translation, and assembly. Defects in one or more of these steps can result in decreased...

ATP Synthase: Structure
15.3K
ATP synthase or ATPase is among the most conserved proteins found in bacteria, mammals, and plants. This enzyme can catalyze a forward reaction in response to the electrochemical gradient, producing ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. ATP synthase can also work in a reverse direction by hydrolyzing ATP and generating an electrochemical gradient. Different forms of ATP synthases have evolved special features to meet the specific demands of the cell. Based on their specific feature, ATP...
