Two [Fe(IV)=O Trp*] intermediates in M. tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase discriminated by multifrequency (9-285 GHz) EPR spectroscopy: reactivity toward isoniazid.
2007
We have characterized the intermediates formed in the peroxidase cycle of the multifunctional heme-containing enzyme KatG of M. tuberculosis. Selected Trp variants from the heme proximal (W321F) and distal (W107F and W91F) sides were analyzed together with the wild-type enzyme with regard to the reaction with peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide (in the catalase-inactive W107F). The 9 GHz EPR spectrum of the enzyme upon reaction with peroxyacetic acid showed the contribution of three protein-based radical species, two Trp• and a Tyr•, which could be discerned using a combined approach of multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy with selective deuterium labeling of tryptophan and tyrosine residues and site-directed mutagenesis. Trp321, a residue in H-bonding interactions with the iron through Asp381 and the heme axial ligand His270, was identified as one of the radical sites. The 9 GHz EPR signal of the Trp321 radical species was consistent with an exchange-coupled species simil...
