Other than its unique tetranuclear active site CuZ, the binuclear electron entry point CuA is also utilized in other enzymes, including cytochrome c oxidase. In the CuA site of Pseudomonas stutzeri N2OR, a histidine ligand was found to undergo a conformational flip upon binding of the substrate N2O between the two copper centers. Here we report on the systematic mutagenesis and spectroscopic and structural characterization of this histidine and surrounding H-bonding residues, based on an established functional expression system for PsN2OR in E. coli. A single hydrogen bond from Ser550 is sufficient to stabilize an unbound conformation of His583, as shown in a Asp576Ala variant, while the additional removal of the hydrogen bond in a Asp576Ala/Ser550Ala double variant compelled His583 to stay in a bound conformation as a ligand to CuA. Systematic mutagenesis of His583 to Ala, Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln, Lys, Phe, Tyr, and Trp showed that although both the CuZ and CuA sites were present in all the variants, only the ones with a protonable side chain, i.e., His, Asp, and Glu, were able to mediate electron transfer at physiological pH. This observation is in line with a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism at the CuA site of N2OR.
