additional information | the two tryptophan residues in MMOB and the single tryptophan residue in MMOR are converted to 5-fluorotryptophan (5FW) by expression in defined media containing 5-fluoroindole. In addition, the mechanistically significant N-terminal region of MMOB is 19F-labeled by reaction of the K15C variant with 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (BTFA). The 5FW and BTFA modifications cause minimal structural perturbation. Resonances from the 275 kDa complexes of sMMOH with 5FW-MMOB and BTFAK15C-5FW-MMOB are readily detected at 5 microM labeled protein concentration. This approach shows directly that MMOR and MMOB competitively bind to sMMOH with similar KD values, independent of the oxidation state of the sMMOH diiron cluster | Methylosinus trichosporium |

additional information | soluble methane monooxygenase component interactions monitored by 19F NMR spectroscopy. Modeling for regulation in which the dynamic equilibration of MMOR and MMOB with sMMOH allows a transient formation of key reactive complexes that irreversibly pull the reaction cycle forward. The slow kinetics of exchange of the sMMOH:MMOB complex is proposed to prevent MMOR-mediated reductive quenching of the high-valent reaction cycle intermediate Q before it can react with methane | Methylosinus trichosporium |
physiological function | soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) is a multicomponent metalloenzyme capable of catalyzing the conversion of methane to methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. The enzyme consists of three protein components: a 245 kDa (alphabetagamma)2 hydroxylase (sMMOH), a 38 kDa flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and 2Fe-2S cluster-containing reductase (MMOR), and a 15 kDa cofactorless regulatory component (MMOB). The sMMOH active site contains a dinuclear iron cluster, which serves to activate molecular oxygen for insertion into the C-H bond of methane. The resting state of sMMOH contains a diferric cluster (Fe3+Fe3+, sMMOHox) in which the irons are bridged by two solvent (OH- or H2O) molecules in addition to the carboxylate of Glu144. sMMOHox can form a complex with MMOR and receive two electrons to form the diferrous cluster (Fe2+Fe2+, sMMOHred) in which Glu243 shifts to bridge the irons via one carboxylate oxygen, one bridging solvent is lost, and the bond to the second solvent is weakened. In this new configuration, the diiron cluster can bind O2 between the irons upon dissociation of the weakly bound solvent. But O2 binding is observed to be very slow in the absence of the regulatory component MMOB. Binding of MMOB effects a 1000fold increase in the rate constant for the O2 binding to the diiron cluster to form the first spectroscopically distinct intermediate of the reaction cycle, termed P*. One cause of the decreased rate of O2 binding in the sMMOH active site in the absence of MMOB is the near closure of the molecular tunnel that mediates the transit of O2 from the solvent. This bottleneck is relieved by conformational changes in both MMOB and sMMOHred when the sMMOHred:MMOB complex forms. A second cause of the low reactivity of O2 with sMMOHred is the position of the Glu209 ligand to the diiron cluster, which blocks the approach to the open iron coordination site. An angle change of this residue in the sMMOHred:MMOB complex exposes the site for O2 binding. The formation of intermediate P* is followed by a spontaneous formation of a peroxo-intermediate P, and finally, O-O bond cleavage to yield the reactive dinuclear Fe4+ intermediate Q. Q can react directly with methane to form methanol with the incorporation of one atom of oxygen sourced from O2. Intermediate Q is generated and stabilized by precisely coordinated sMMO protein component interactions. Regulation of electron transfer in the sMMO system, mechanism, modeling, detailed overview. MMOR causes both the N-terminal tail and the core region of MMOB to dissociate from sMMOH | Methylosinus trichosporium |
