Can also catalyze minor side reactions: oxalate oxidation to produce H(2)O(2), and oxalate-dependent, H(2)O(2)-independent dye oxidations. Publication Abstract from PubMed Oxalate decarboxylase (OxDC) catalyzes the Mn-dependent conversion of the oxalate monoanion into CO2 and formate. EPR-based strategies for investigating the catalytic mechanism of decarboxylation are complicated by the difficulty of assigning the signals associated with the two Mn(II) centers located in the N- and C-terminal cupin domains of the enzyme. We now report a mutational strategy that has established the assignment of EPR fine structure parameters to each of these Mn(II) centers at pH 8.5. These experimental findings are also used to assess the performance of a multistep strategy for calculating the zero-field splitting parameters of protein-bound Mn(II) ions. Despite the known sensitivity of calculated D and E values to the computational approach, we demonstrate that good estimates of these parameters can be obtained using cluster models taken from carefully optimized DFT/MM structures. Overall, our results provide new insights into the strengths and limitations of theoretical methods for understanding electronic properties of protein-bound Mn(II) ions, thereby setting the stage for future EPR studies on the electronic properties of the Mn(II) centers in OxDC and site-specific variants.
