چکیده

The conserved pterin dithiolene ligand that coordinates molybdenum (Mo) in the cofactor (Moco) of mononuclear Mo enzymes can exist in both a tricyclic pyranopterin dithiolene form and as a bicyclic pterin-dithiolene form as observed in protein crystal structures of several bacterial molybdoenzymes. Interconversion between the tricyclic and bicyclic forms via pyran scission and cyclization has been hypothesized to play a role in the catalytic mechanism of Moco. Therefore, understanding the interconversion between the tricyclic and bicyclic forms, a type of ring-chain tautomerism, is an important aspect of study to understand its role in catalysis. In this study, equilibrium constants (K(eq)) as well as enthalpy, entropy, and free energy values are obtained for pyran ring tautomerism exhibited by two Moco model complexes, namely, (Et4N)[Tp*Mo(O)(S2BMOPP)] (1) and (Et4N)[Tp*Mo(O)(S2PEOPP)] (2), as a solvent-dependent equilibrium process. Keq values obtained from (1)H NMR data in seven deuterated solvents show a correlation between solvent polarity and tautomer form, where solvents with higher polarity parameters favor the pyran form.

Pyranopterin Dithiolene Distortions Relevant to Electron Transfer in Xanthine Oxidase/Dehydrogenase

The reducing substrates 4-thiolumazine and 2,4-dithiolumazine have been used to form Mo(IV)-product complexes with xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase. These Mo(IV)-product complexes display an intense metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) band in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. Optical pumping into this MLCT band yields resonance Raman spectra of the Mo site that are de...

Mechanism of pyranopterin ring formation in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis.

The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is essential for all kingdoms of life, plays central roles in various biological processes, and must be biosynthesized de novo. During Moco biosynthesis, the characteristic pyranopterin ring is constructed by a complex rearrangement of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) into cyclic pyranopterin (cPMP) through the action of two enzymes, MoaA and MoaC (molybdenum cofac...

Pyranopterin conformation defines the function of molybdenum and tungsten enzymes.

We have analyzed the conformations of 319 pyranopterins in 102 protein structures of mononuclear molybdenum and tungsten enzymes. These span a continuum between geometries anticipated for quinonoid dihydro, tetrahydro, and dihydro oxidation states. We demonstrate that pyranopterin conformation is correlated with the protein folds defining the three major mononuclear molybdenum and tungsten enzy...

Long-term rescue of a lethal inherited disease by adeno-associated virus-mediated gene transfer in a mouse model of molybdenum-cofactor deficiency.

Molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) deficiency is a progressive neurological disorder that inevitably leads to early childhood death because of the lack of any effective therapy. In a mouse model of MoCo deficiency type A, the most frequent form of this autosomal recessively inherited disease, the affected animals show the biochemical characteristics of sulphite and xanthine intoxication and do not surv...

The Mechanism of Nucleotide-assisted Molybdenum Insertion into Molybdopterin

The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is synthesized by an ancient and conserved biosynthetic pathway. In plants, the two-domain protein Cnx1 catalyzes the insertion of molybdenum into molybdopterin (MPT), a metal-free phosphorylated pyranopterin carrying an ene-dithiolate. Recently, we identified a novel biosynthetic intermediate, adenylated molybdopterin (MPT-AMP), which is synthesized by the C-term...
