J.Biol.Chem., :111389-111389, 2026 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The nitro group is an important functional group found in the nitroimidazoles, antibiotic therapeutics for anaerobic pathogens. In the biosynthetic pathway to the nitroimidazole antibiotic azomycin, a nitro-forming enzyme RohS - a member of the heme-oxygenase-like dimetal/domain-containing oxidase/oxygenase (HDO) family - catalyzes a six-electron oxidation of 2-aminoimidazole to 2-nitroimidazole. Here we present the 2.20 Å resolution crystal structure of RohS and identify a potential active site pocket consisting of seven key residues important for metal coordination. By comparing the structures and sequences of two RohS homologs - one functionally active and one inactive - we convert the inactive RohS to its active form, thus revealing a key residue for metal coordination in RohS catalysis. Altogether, our work provides structural basis for further mechanistic investigation of this six-electron oxidation process and provides insight into the expanding repertoire of the HDO protein family and nitro-formation N-oxygenases.
