Electronic Structure of the Peroxy Intermediate and Its Correlation to the Native Intermediate in the Multicopper Oxidases:  Insights into the Reductive Cleavage of the O−O Bond

Abstract: The multicopper oxidases (MCOs) utilize a blue type 1 (T1) copper site and a trinuclear Cu cluster composed of a type 2 (T2) and a binuclear type 3 (T3) site that together catalyze the four-electron reduction of O2 to H2O. Reaction of the fully reduced enzyme with O2 proceeds via two sequential two-electron steps generating the peroxy intermediate (PI) and the native intermediate (NI). While a detailed description of the geometric and electronic structure of NI has been developed, this has been more elusive fo… Show more

“…Importantly, if an Asp, present in the crystal structure (D94 in Fet3p) near the T2 Cu, is included in the calculation a structure consistent with the spectrum is obtained with the peroxide binding η 2 to the T3 Cu B (nearer to the Asp) and η 1 to each of the other two Cu's (figure 13, right). 38 This computational result is consistent with experimental results where the D94A and D94N mutants do not react with O 2 , while replacing D with a negatively charged E residue allows the O 2 reaction to occur. 39,40 This μ 3 -1,1,2 structure appears to be required for the irreversible binding of O 2 and its activation for further reduction.…”

“…From electronic structure calculations supported by spectroscopic data (figure 14) both the T2 and T3Cu B are oxidized due to the presence of the Asp which reduces their potential, and each has significant π* σ character leading to the strong AF coupling determined experimentally for PI. 38 …”

“…Alternatively, the deoxy Lc T3 Cu site in the multicopper oxidases is electrostatically stable and does not react with O 2 when the T2 Cu is not present. When the type 2 Cu is also present, the trinuclear Cu cluster does react with O 2 to form a 2-electron reduced peroxide, bridging between the type 2 and type 3 Cu centers (27,28). The trinuclear Cu cluster further promotes cleavage of the OOO bond by stabilizing the products of peroxide reduction (oxo and hydroxo moieties) through multiple bridging interactions requiring a large change in Cu-Cu distance.…”
