Publication Abstract from PubMed Dioxygenases catalyze a diverse range of chemical reactions that involve the incorporation of oxygen into a substrate and typically use a transition metal or organic cofactor for reaction. Bacterial 1-H-3- hydroxy-4-oxoquinaldine-2,4-dioxygenase (HOD) belongs to a class of oxygenases able to catalyze this energetically unfavourable reaction without any cofactor. In the quinaldine metabolic pathway HOD breaks down its natural N-heteroaromatic substrate using a mechanism that is still incompletely understood. Experimental and computational approaches were combined to study the initial step of the catalytic cycle. We have investigated the role of the active site His251/Asp126 dyad, proposed to be involved in substrate hydroxyl group deprotonation, a critical requirement for subsequent oxygen reaction. The pH profiles obtained under steady-state conditions for the H251A and D126A variants show a strong pH effect on their kcat and kcat/Km constants, with a decrease in kcat/Km of 5500-fold and 9-fold at pH 10.5, respectively. Substrate deprotonation studies under transient-state conditions show that this step is not rate limiting and yield a pKa value of ~7.2 for wt HOD. A large solvent isotope effect was found and the pKa value was shifted to ~8.3 in D2O. Crystallographic and computational studies reveal that the mutations have minor effect on substrate positioning. Computational work shows that both His251 and Asp126 are essential for the proton transfer driving force of the initial reaction. This multi-disciplinary study offers unambiguous support to the view that substrate deprotonation, driven by the His/Asp dyad, is an essential requirement for its activation.
