PubMed Abstract: Obtaining structures of intact redox states of metal centers derived from zero dose X-ray crystallography can advance our mechanistic understanding of metalloenzymes. In dye-decolorising heme peroxidases (DyPs), controversy exists regarding the mechanistic role of the distal heme residues aspartate and arginine in the heterolysis of peroxide to form the catalytic intermediate compound I (Fe =O and a porphyrin cation radical). Using serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX), we have determined the pristine structures of the Fe and Fe =O redox states of a B-type DyP. These structures reveal a water-free distal heme site that, together with the presence of an asparagine, imply the use of the distal arginine as a catalytic base. A combination of mutagenesis and kinetic studies corroborate such a role. Our SFX approach thus provides unique insight into how the distal heme site of DyPs can be tuned to select aspartate or arginine for the rate enhancement of peroxide heterolysis.
