PCC 6803 substr. Kazusa. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.21Å Ligands: CL, CO Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function ACOX_SYNY3 Cleaves a number of carotenals and carotenols in the all-trans configuration at the 15-15' double bond producing retinal or retinol, respectively. Also shows activity toward lycopenals and the corresponding alcohols. Does not cleave beta-carotene or lycopene. Publication Abstract from PubMed Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCO) are non-heme iron enzymes that catalyze oxidative cleavage of alkene bonds in carotenoid and stilbenoid substrates. Previously, we showed that the iron cofactor of CAO1, a resveratrol-cleaving member of this family, can be substituted with cobalt to yield a catalytically inert enzyme useful for trapping active site-bound stilbenoid substrates for structural characterization. Metal substitution may provide a general method for identifying the natural substrates for CCOs in addition to facilitating structural and biophysical characterization of CCO-carotenoid complexes under normal aerobic conditions. Here, we demonstrate the general applicability of cobalt substitution in a prototypical carotenoid cleaving CCO, apocarotenoid oxygenase (ACO) from Synechocystis. Among the non-native divalent metals investigated, cobalt was uniquely able to stably occupy the ACO metal binding site and inhibit catalysis. Analysis by X-ray crystallography and X-ray absorption spectroscopy demonstrate that the Co(II) forms of both ACO and CAO1 exhibit a close structural correspondence to the native Fe(II) enzyme forms. Hence, cobalt substitution is an effective strategy for generating catalytically inert but structurally intact forms of CCOs.
