In addition to pMMO, many other copper proteins are encoded in the genomes of methanotrophs, including proteins that contain periplasmic copper-A chaperone (PCuAC) domains. Using bioinformatics analyses, we identified three distinct classes of PCuAC domain-containing proteins in methanotrophs, termed PmoF1, PmoF2, and PmoF3. PCuAC domains from other types of bacteria bind a single Cu(I) ion via an HxnMx21/22HxM motif, which is also present in PmoF3, but PmoF1 and PmoF2 lack this motif entirely. Instead, the PCuAC domains of PmoF1 and PmoF2 bind only Cu(II), and PmoF1 binds additional Cu(II) ions in a His-rich extension to its PCuAC domain. Crystal structures of the PmoF1 and PmoF2 PCuAC domains reveal that Cu(II) is coordinated by an N-terminal histidine brace Hx10H motif. This binding site is distinct from those of previously characterized PCuAC domains, but resembles copper centers in CopC proteins and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) enzymes. Bioinformatics analysis of the entire PCuAC family revealed previously unappreciated diversity, including sequences that contain both the HxnMx21/22HxMand Hx10H motifs, and sequences that lack either set of copper-binding ligands. These findings provide the first characterization of an additional class of copper proteins from methanotrophs, further expand the PCuAC family, and afford new insight into the biological significance of histidine brace-mediated copper coordination. PCuAC domains from methane-oxidizing bacteria use a histidine brace to bind copper.,Fisher OS, Sendzik MR, Ross MO, Lawton TJ, Hoffman BM, Rosenzweig AC J Biol Chem. 2019 Sep 16. pii: RA119.010093. doi: 10.1074/jbc.RA119.010093.
