This reaction is stoichiometrically quenched in the presence of sulphite. The 2.07 A crystal structure of SPU bound to BQ shows the presence of a 1,4-hydroquinone moiety covalently bound to the thiol group of alphaCys322, a key residue found on the mobile flap regulating the substrate access to the active site. The 1.75 A crystal structure obtained when sulphite is added to a solution of SPU previously incubated with BQ shows the presence of a 2,5-dihydroxy-benzenesulphonate moiety bound to the alphaCys322 thiol group. These data reveal how the active site cysteine reacts with a prototypical BQ moiety, found in a large number of natural substances potentially suitable to control the urease activity.
