Publication Abstract from PubMedProtocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase (3,4-PCD) utilizes a ferric ion to catalyze the aromatic ring cleavage of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (PCA) by incorporation of both atoms of dioxygen to yield beta-carboxy-cis, cis-muconate. The crystal structures of the anaerobic 3,4-PCD.PCA complex, aerobic complexes with two heterocyclic PCA analogs, 2-hydroxyisonicotinic acid N-oxide (INO) and 6-hydroxynicotinic acid N-oxide (NNO), and ternary complexes of 3,4-PCD.INO.CN and 3,4-PCD. NNO.CN have been determined at 2.1-2.2 A resolution and refined to R-factors between 0.165 and 0.184. PCA, INO, and NNO form very similar, asymmetrically chelated complexes with the active site Fe3+ that result in dissociation of the endogenous axial tyrosinate Fe3+ ligand, Tyr447 (147beta). After its release from the iron, Tyr447 is stabilized by hydrogen bonding to Tyr16 (16alpha) and Asp413 (113beta) and forms the top of a small cavity adjacent to the C3-C4 bond of PCA. The equatorial Fe3+ coordination site within this cavity is unoccupied in the anaerobic 3,4-PCD.PCA complex but coordinates a solvent molecule in the 3,4-PCD.INO and 3,4-PCD.NNO complexes and CN- in the 3,4-PCD.INO.CN and 3,4-PCD.NNO.CN complexes. This shows that an O2 analog can occupy the cavity and suggests that electrophilic O2 attack on PCA is initiated from this site. Both the dissociation of the endogenous Tyr447 and the expansion of the iron coordination sphere are novel features of the 3,4-PCD. substrate complex which appear to play essential roles in the activation of substrate for O2 attack. Together, the structures presented here and in the preceding paper [Orville, A. M., Elango, N. , Lipscomb, J. D., & Ohlendorf, D. H. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 10039-10051] provide atomic models for several steps in the reaction cycle of 3,4-PCD and related Fe3+-containing dioxygenases.
