Publication Abstract from PubMed Although the oxidative condensation of two thiosulfate anions to tetrathionate constitutes a well-documented and significant part of the natural sulfur cycle little is known about the enzymes catalyzing this reaction. In the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum, the reaction is catalyzed by the periplasmic diheme c-type cytochrome thiosulfate dehydrogenase (TsdA). Here, we report the crystal structure of the 'as-isolated' form of A. vinosum TsdA to 1.98 A resolution, and those of several redox states of the enzyme to different resolutions. The protein contains two typical class I c-type cytochrome domains wrapped around two hemes axially coordinated by His-53/Cys-96 and His-164/Lys-208. These domains are very similar suggesting a gene duplication event during evolution. A ligand switch from Lys-208 to Met-209 is observed upon reduction of the enzyme. Cys-96 is an essential residue for catalysis with the specific activity of the enzyme being completely abolished in several TsdA-Cys-96 variants. TsdA-K208N, K208G and M209G variants were catalytically active in thiosulfate oxidation as well as in tetrathionate reduction, pointing to heme 2 as the electron exit point. In this study, we provide spectroscopic and structural evidence that the TsdA reaction cycle involves the transient presence of heme 1 in the high-spin state caused by movement of the Sgamma atom of Cys-96 out of the iron coordination sphere. Based on the presented data, we draw important conclusions about the enzyme and propose a possible reaction mechanism for TsdA.
