The structure of tryptophan 7-halogenase (PrnA)suggests a mechanism for regioselective chlorination
[PRNA_PSEFL] Involved in the biosynthesis of the antifungal antibiotic pyrrolnitrin. Catalyze the chlorination of tryptophan (Trp) at C7 position to yield 7-chloro-L-tryptophan (7-CLT). The reaction between FADH2, Cl-, and O2 generates the powerful oxidant HOCl, which is presumed to carry out the chlorination reaction. The reaction of HOCl with the active site Lys-79 generates a lysine chloramine, which plays a key role in directing regiospecific chlorination of substrate in this important class of biosynthetic enzymes. It is also able to use bromide ions to generate monobrominated Trp.[1][2][3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Chlorinated natural products include vancomycin and cryptophycin A. Their biosynthesis involves regioselective chlorination by flavin-dependent halogenases. We report the structural characterization of tryptophan 7-halogenase (PrnA), which regioselectively chlorinates tryptophan. Tryptophan and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) are separated by a 10 angstrom-long tunnel and bound by distinct enzyme modules. The FAD module is conserved in halogenases and is related to flavin-dependent monooxygenases. On the basis of biochemical studies, crystal structures, and by analogy with monooxygenases, we predict that FADH2 reacts with O2 to make peroxyflavin, which is decomposed by Cl-. The resulting HOCl is guided through the tunnel to tryptophan, where it is activated to participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution.
