Abstract
The iron(II)- and 2-(oxo)glutarate-dependent (Fe/2OG) oxygenases catalyze an array of challenging transformations via a common iron(IV)-oxo (ferryl) intermediate, which in most cases abstracts hydrogen (H•) from an aliphatic carbon of the substrate. Although it has been shown that the relative disposition of the Fe–O and C–H bonds can control the rate of H• abstraction and fate of the resultant substrate radical, there remains a paucity of structural information on the actual ferryl states, owing to their high reactivity. We demonstrate here that the stable vanadyl ion [(VIV-oxo)2+] binds along with 2OG or its decarboxylation product, succinate, in the active site of two different Fe/2OG enzymes to faithfully mimic their transient ferryl states. Both ferryl and vanadyl complexes of the Fe/2OG halogenase, SyrB2, remain stably bound to its carrier protein substrate (L-aminoacyl-S-SyrB1), whereas the corresponding complexes harboring transition metals (Fe, Mn) in lower oxidation states dissociate. In the well-studied hydroxylase, taurine:2OG dioxygenase (TauD), the disposition of the substrate C–H bond relative to the vanadyl ion defined by pulse electron paramagnetic resonance methods is consistent with the crystal structure of the reactant complex and computational models of the ferryl state. Vanadyl substitution may thus afford access to structural details of the key ferryl intermediates in this important enzyme class.
Graphical Abstract
The vanadyl ion can be used as a mimic of the key ferryl intermediate in Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzymes. The stability and electronic structure of the vanadyl ion allow structural characterization techniques not permitted by the native intermediate, opening new avenues for understanding catalysis in this important class of enzymes.
Introduction
The iron- and 2-(oxo)glutarate-dependent (Fe/2OG) oxygenases catalyze a variety of chemical transformations at unactivated carbon centers, including hydroxylation, halogenation, desaturation, cyclization, and stereoinversion reactions.1,2 In humans, these reactions play essential roles in connective tissue biosynthesis,3 oxygen and body mass homeostasis,4–6 DNA repair,7–9 epigenetic inheritance, and control of transcription.10–12 In microbes and plants, these reactions are found in both primary metabolism and, notably, in biosynthetic pathways to specialized secondary metabolites that have been widely deployed as drugs.1,2 Remarkably, members of this large enzyme family are believed to initiate these sundry reactions via a common FeIV-oxo (ferryl) intermediate.2,13–18 The strategies used by individual enzymes to direct the ferryl intermediate to different outcomes remain poorly understood. A deeper understanding could facilitate deployment of their broad capabilities in biotechnological applications.2
The mechanistic logic employed by the enzyme class was first elucidated for members of the hydroxylase subclass.13 Dioxygen activation occurs at a mononuclear FeII cofactor, coordinated by a (His)2(Asp)1 “facial triad” of protein ligands,19,20 and is followed by oxidative decarboxylation of 2OG, producing succinate, CO2, and the key ferryl complex.13–15,21 The ferryl intermediate abstracts a hydrogen atom (H•) from a carbon of the substrate,22 producing a substrate radical and an FeIII–OH form of the cofactor. The substrate radical then couples with the hydroxo ligand (often termed “rebound”) to produce the alcohol product and return the cofactor to its FeII oxidation state.23
Fe/2OG halogenases employ a similar strategy but divert the intermediate produced by H• abstraction; the substrate radical instead couples with a halogen (Cl or Br) coordinated cis to the hydroxo.17,24 How these enzymes prevent the facile rebound step to enable cis-halogen transfer has been the subject of much computational and experimental analysis.2 For the halogenase SyrB2, correlations of substrate structure with rate constants for H• abstraction and halogenation/hydroxylation partition ratios suggested that positioning of the target C–H moiety away from the oxo/hydroxo ligand is crucial for selective halogenation.25 Subsequent direct measurements of substrate positioning by pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods on an iron-nitrosyl ({FeNO}7) surrogate for the catalytic intermediates confirmed that the target hydrogen is held farther from the iron center, with an Fe–H vector more nearly perpendicular to the Fe–N vector (which presumably mimics the Fe–O vector of the intermediate states), for a substrate that is primarily halogenated than for a substrate that is primarily hydroxylated.26 Presumably, this configuration poises the substrate radical closer to the halogen ligand to favor its transfer over the normally facile rebound step. Computational analyses suggested that this perpendicular approach engages a π-type frontier molecular orbital (FMO) of the ferryl complex in the H•-abstraction step and promotes halogen transfer in the resultant cis-halo-hydroxo-FeIII/substrate-radical state.27,28 Importantly, these studies suggested that the perpendicular configuration is achieved not by a relocation of the substrate from its usual position above the vacant axial site of the O2-reactive square-pyramidal FeII cofactor form (which is trans to the C-terminal His ligand and has been called the “inline” position; Figure 1A) but rather by relocation of the ferryl oxo group into an adjacent site (“offline”, cis to the C-terminal histidine; Figure 1C).1,27,29 The first crystal structure of an Fe/2OG halogenase with its substrate bound, that of the WelO5•FeII•2OG•12-epi-fischerindole U complex, confirmed substrate binding in the usual (inline) configuration (Figure 1A), lending credence to the hypothesis that the oxo must shift offline in the ferryl state to promote halogenation (Figure 1C).30 It has been suggested that deployment of offline ferryl intermediates could be a general strategy to suppress hydroxylation in other (perhaps all) non-hydroxylation outcomes mediated by Fe/2OG enzymes,31–34 but appropriate experimental methods to test this hypothesis have yet to emerge.
Structural characterization of high-valent iron enzyme intermediates by X-ray crystallography has been impeded by their short lifetimes, which typically do not exceed a few seconds. However, the ferryl complexes of several Fe/2OG enzymes have been trapped by rapid-mixing/freeze-quenching techniques and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Limitations of this approach are that the resultant structural information is limited to the first coordination sphere of the cofactor and interpretation often relies on comparison of measured parameters to those predicted semi-empirically for a set of computationally-derived structural models.
Pulse EPR methods can provide a priori local structural information beyond the first coordination sphere via the distance and orientation dependencies of electron-nuclear hyperfine interactions (e.g., with 1H, 2H, 13C, etc.), but the application of such methods to ferryl complexes in Fe/2OG enzymes has been precluded by the integer-electron-spin (S = 2) ground states of the intermediates.
As introduced above, reaction of the FeII-containing enzyme-substrate complexes with nitric oxide (NO•) has been used to generate EPR-active {FeNO}7 complexes with S = 3/2 ground states, and measurement of hyperfine (HF) couplings between the metal center and deuteria incorporated at strategic positions in the substrates has afforded details of substrate positioning.26,35–37 However, these {FeNO}7 complexes mimic the putative {FeOO}8 adduct which precedes ferryl formation, and it seems unlikely that oxidative addition of NO would accurately reproduce local or global structural changes accompanying ferryl formation, for several reasons. Firstly, NO is a diatomic ligand with greater steric bulk than the oxo group of the ferryl. Secondly, the iron is oxidized by NO formally to the +III oxidation state rather than the +IV state generated by O2 activation. Finally, reaction with NO fails to bring about decarboxylation of 2OG, leaving the co-substrate coordinated in the {FeNO7} complex, whereas the ferryl complex formed by O2 activation has succinate at the corresponding site. These issues cast doubt on the extent to which structural details of the {FeNO}7 complexes can explain or predict the reactivity of the corresponding ferryl intermediates.
Seeking a stable, more accurate mimic of the reactive ferryl state for use in EPR and crystallographic structural studies, we considered the vanadyl ion [(VIVO)2+] as a candidate. Stable for many hours in aqueous solution, vanadyl has previously been used to probe divalent metal (e.g. Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+) sites in proteins and would thus be expected to bind in the cofactor sites of Fe/2OG enzymes.38 Structurally, the vanadyl ion has striking similarities to the ferryl moiety. Both have +2 net charges resulting from bonding between the tetravalent metal cation and divalent oxide anion.39 Moreover, the metal-oxo bonds have similar lengths, ranging from 1.58 to 1.63 Å for octahedral vanadyl complexes with oxygen and nitrogen coordination40–45 and from 1.61 to 1.64 Å for the ferryl intermediates in the Fe/2OG hydroxylase, TauD, and halogenases, CytC3 and SyrB2.17,46,47 Importantly, the d1 configuration of VIV gives the vanadyl ion an S = 1/2 ground state, which makes it EPR active and amenable to accurate determination of distances between vanadium and nearby magnetic nuclei by EPR methods.
Results and Discussion
To evaluate the potential of vanadyl to serve as a ferryl mimic, we first tested for its capacity to bind in the cofactor site of TauD, the most extensively studied Fe/2OG oxygenase. A sample prepared by adding vanadyl sulfate to apo TauD, along with succinate and taurine, (Figure 2A) exhibited a strong g ~ 2 X-band continuous-wave (CW) EPR signal with splitting characteristic of hyperfine coupling to the 51V nucleus (~100% natural abundance, I = 7/2). This signal was greatly diminished in intensity in a sample from which the enzyme was omitted, as vanadyl in solution at biological pH exists in a polymeric, EPR-silent form;48 the observed signal therefore arises from a TauD•(VIVO) complex (Figure S1). Global simulation of the X- and Q-band EPR spectra yielded the parameters g = [1.944, 1.979, 1.981] ± 0.001 and AV = [519, 185, 192] ± 3 MHz (Figure S2). The A//component of the vanadium hyperfine tensor can be related to the identity of the ligands in the equatorial plane of the vanadyl (i.e., cis to the -oxo); the observed value of 519 MHz (173 × 10−4 cm−1) is very close to the expected value of 520 MHz (174 × 10−4 cm−1) for three carboxylate oxygen and one histidine nitrogen (with the plane of the histidine ring perpendicular to the V-oxo bond) ligands.38 Although asymmetry and the presence of potentially-bidentate carboxylate ligands may produce deviations from predicted values and thus this agreement is not definitive, the observed value of A//is certainly compatible with the proposed geometry.
Further evidence for binding of the vanadyl in the cofactor site was provided by deuterium hyperfine sublevel correlation (2H-HYSCORE) spectra (Figure 2, B–D), which report on interactions between the electron spin and nearby deuterium nuclei. In 2H-HYSCORE spectra, resonances are centered at the Larmor frequency of the deuterium. Hyperfine coupling is manifest by splitting along the anti-diagonal, whereas nuclear quadrupolar interactions cause further splitting along the diagonal (Figure 2B). For samples of the TauD•(VIVO)•succinate•taurine complex prepared with 1,1,2,2-[2H4]-taurine (d4-taurine), a feature centered at ν L = 2.25 MHz was readily observed in the HYSCORE spectrum (Figure 2B) collected at the point of maximum EPR absorption (344 mT). The appearance of such a feature indicates that vanadyl does, as expected, bind in the active site, close to (< 5 Å from) the taurine-binding site. In spectra of samples prepared using 2,2,3,3-[2H4]-succinate, a weaker feature was seen, showing proximity of the vanadyl to the co-product bound in the active site (Figure 2C). No features attributable to deuterium were observed from a sample prepared with unlabeled taurine and succinate (Figure 2D).
To establish that vanadyl substitution can provide a spin probe for structural analysis, we defined the position of taurine relative to the VIVO unit by pulse EPR, as previously done for the {Fe-NO}7 complexes.26,35,36 Field-dependent 2H-HYSCORE spectra were collected for a sample of the TauD•(VIVO)•succinate•d4-taurine complex (Figure 3). The resulting patterns were simulated with a single deuterium hyperfine coupling of [0.26, 0.26, −0.68] ± 0.05 MHz with Euler angles of [0, 35, 15] ± 10° relative to the g tensor (Figure 3); the deuterium nuclear quadrupole interaction was simulated as [−0.06, −0.06, 0.12] ± 0.03 MHz with Euler angles [0, −50, 15] ± 10°. That a single coupling can account for the observed signals strongly suggests that only the most proximal deuteron on C1 (inferred to be the pro-R hydron from crystal structures of TauD)49,50 meaningfully contributes to these spectra. This coupling can be considered in terms of an anisotropic component, T, and an isotropic component, Aiso: A2H = [1, 1, −2]T + Aiso (i.e., an axial tensor of magnitude T = 0.30 MHz and an isotropic component of magnitude Aiso = −0.04 MHz). The anisotropic component can be related to the V-2H distance according to the point-dipole approximation, which yields 3.4 ± 0.2 Å. Moreover, the second Euler angle (35°) corresponds to the O≡V–2H angle, as the unique axis of the (approximately axial) g tensor is collinear with the V≡O bond. Although the observation of isotropic hyperfine coupling is usually indicative of through-bond delocalization of spin density onto the nucleus of interest, through-space isotropic coupling has been observed for atoms in tight van der Waals contact, consistent with the small isotropic component observed here.51–53
Substrate positioning in TauD was previously interrogated for the aforementioned {FeNO}7 complex.36,37 For comparison to the metrics provided by the VIVO probe, we reexamined the iron-nitrosyl complex in the presence of d4-taurine and 2OG by field-dependent 2H-HYSCORE (Figure S3). The data were simulated with a single deuterium hyperfine coupling of [0.26, 0.44, −0.70] ± 0.05 MHz with Euler angles of [0, 30, 93] ± 10° and a deuterium nuclear quadrupole interaction of [−0.04, −0.04, 0.08] ± 0.03 MHz with Euler angles [0, 40, 25] ± 10°. The anisotropic magnitude (T = 0.35 MHz) and second Euler angle (30°) are quite similar to those obtained in the previous study of the {Fe-NO}7 complex and above on the vanadyl complex.36,37
To assess the coordination geometry of the vanadyl ion in TauD and the extent to which it mimics the proposed structure of the ferryl intermediate, we interrogated the complex by x-ray absorption methods. The vanadium K-edge lies at ~ 5480 eV (Figure S4), consistent with the +IV oxidation state.54 The spectrum (Figure S5) also has an intense pre-edge feature with an intensity (99 ± 3 units) that is nearly identical to that of the six-coordinate VO(H2O)52+ ion (106 ± 4 units; Figure S5). This observed intensity is appreciably lower than that seen for formally square pyramidal vanadyl complexes, likely owing to the presence of a weakly coordinating axial ligand in TauD that partially restores centrosymmetry, and hence the observed pre-edge is most consistent with an octahedral geometry distorted by the presence of an oxo ligand.54 Such a geometry could arise from vanadium coordination by the facial triad and bidentate coordination by succinate, a first sphere that would be identical to that favored in previous spectroscopic and computational studies of the ferryl complex.55 Fits to the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data revealed a coordination sphere composed of two shells: one at 1.60 Å, corresponding to the oxo ligand, and another at 2.05 Å (Figure S6 and Table S1–S3), corresponding to the protein and succinate ligands. The fitting analysis is consistent with previous structural characterization of vanadyl complexes40–45 and notably similar to the first-sphere metrics obtained by EXAFS on the ferryl intermediate in TauD (shells at 1.62 and 2.05 Å).46
From the structural metrics extracted from the HYSCORE and EXAFS analysis of the TauD vanadyl complex, a geometric model for the key atoms in the H• abstraction step effected by the ferryl complex was constructed (Scheme 1). The model has a V≡O–2H angle of (120 ± 10)° and an O–2H distance of (2.3 ± 0.3) Å. Extrapolated to the ferryl complex, this geometry would be consistent with the expectation of efficient σ-channel H• abstraction by the ferryl state in this hydroxylation reaction and is compatible with previous x-ray crystal structures.49,50
The above experiments indicate that the complex of TauD with vanadyl, succinate, and taurine has a structure very similar to that proposed for the ferryl intermediate. Despite this agreement, we sought more compelling evidence of faithful mimicry in a biological context by testing whether binding of vanadyl can replicate a unique feature of the ferryl complex that was found for SyrB2. The substrate of SyrB2 is the carrier protein, SyrB1, with L-threonine appended via thioester linkage to its phosphopantetheine cofactor (L-threoninyl-S-SyrB1); it undergoes chlorination of the L-threonine methyl group. The chloroferryl complex in SyrB2 can be markedly stabilized (t1/2 ~ 110 min) by use of the alternative substrate, L-cyclopropylglycinyl-S-SyrB1, owing to the greater C–H bond strength of the cyclopropyl side chain.17 Neither the apo (metal-free) nor the MnII form (in the presence or absence of 2OG/succinate) of SyrB2 makes a stable complex with L-threoninyl-S-SyrB1; consequently, the two proteins are almost completely resolved by chromatography on an appropriate size-exclusion matrix at 4 °C (Figures 4A, blue and black traces, and S7). By contrast, in the cyclopropyl-stabilized ferryl intermediate state, the two proteins remain associated during chromatography under the same conditions, as evidenced by the shift to shorter elution times (Figure 4A, red trace). The elution time of the new peak is consistent with formation of a 1:1 complex of SyrB1 and SyrB2. In this experiment, chromatography was initiated as soon as possible after formation of the ferryl complex by O2 exposure, and the elution required ~ 30 min, a time scale on which the ferryl complex is stable.17 By contrast, increasing delays between formation of the stabilized ferryl complex and the chromatography step led to decreasing intensity in the ~ 13-min peak of the complex and regain of intensity in the peak of free SyrB2 (Figure 4, orange and gold traces). The time scale for this shift matched the previously published kinetics of decay of the ferryl complex formed in the presence of the non-native substrate. Incomplete formation of the complex (indicated by the presence of the SyrB2 peak at 16 mL) is likely due the combination of decay of the ferryl complex (predicted to be ~20% upon elution from the column) and an inactive protein fraction frequently observed in this enzyme class.18,23 The data indicate that conformational changes coupled to ferryl formation strengthen the protein-protein interactions between SyrB1 and SyrB2 and prevent the release of the substrate during the lifetime of the reactive intermediate, presumably as an adaptation to prevent enzyme auto-oxidation. A similar observation was reported for the class I-a ribonucleotide reductase from E. coli, in which radical translocation from the cofactor (β) subunit into the catalytic (α) subunit was seen to increase their mutual affinity by 25-fold.56
Remarkably, the presence of vanadyl (along with 2OG) in the active site of SyrB2 reproduces the stability of the enzyme’s complex with its carrier protein substrate (Figure 4B, compare blue and red traces). Even the extent of incomplete formation of the complex is reproduced. Surprisingly, little complex formation is observed in the presence of vanadyl and succinate. The basis for this requirement for the co-substrate rather than co-product is currently unclear and warrants further structural studies. Nevertheless, it is clear that the surrounding protein framework of SyrB2, which has adapted to interact strongly with SyrB1 only in the ferryl state, responds to the presence of vanadyl in the same manner. This profound similarity in a global conformational effect strongly suggests that vanadyl is a faithful mimic of the ferryl state, giving credence to the utility of the vanadyl ion as a structural probe.
The data demonstrate the suitability of the vanadyl ion as an analogue of the ferryl intermediate in Fe/2OG oxygenases and its utility as a structural probe. It binds along with succinate and taurine in the TauD active site, where it adopts a distorted octahedral geometry similar to that previously proposed for the ferryl complex55 and exhibits a metal-oxo bond length (1.60 Å) nearly identical to that determined for the key intermediate state (1.62 Å).46 Remarkably, in addition to accurately reproducing these cofactor-proximal metrics in TauD, the vanadyl ion also reproduces the global conformational effect (manifested by stabilization of its enzyme-substrate complex) that accompanies ferryl formation in SyrB2. Although its utility as an EPR probe to extract precise substrate-positioning information is partly precedented by the prior studies on the {Fe-NO}7 complexes in TauD and other systems,26,35–37 the expectation that it should more accurately mimic the geometries of the ferryl complexes makes it potentially superior for rationalizing the reactivities of the key intermediates. Moreover, the stability of the vanadyl complexes under biological conditions hints at the exciting prospect of obtaining X-ray crystal structures of the ferryl-mimicking states to map local and global protein motions that accompany ferryl formation and control its reactivity.57 Thus, the new structural probe may help unravel incompletely understood mechanisms of reaction control in Fe/2OG oxygenases, thereby enabling their rational reprogramming for biotechnological applications.
Materials and Methods
Materials
Commercially available materials were used without further purification. 1,1,2,2-[2H4]-taurine was purchased from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories. 2,2,3,3-[2H4]-succinic acid was purchased from Sigma.
Preparation of the TauD•(VIVO)•taurine•succinate complex
TauD was purified as previously described.14 Vanadyl sulfate was dissolved in 2.5 mM sulfuric acid at a concentration of 50 mM. TauD, vanadyl, succinate and taurine were mixed to final concentrations of 1.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 5.0 mM, respectively. The solution was then transferred to an EPR tube or x-ray absorption cell and frozen in liquid N2.
Preparation of the TauD•{FeNO}7•taurine•2OG complex
The TauD {Fe-NO}7 complex was prepared in the manner previously described for SyrB2.26 TauD, iron, 2-oxoglutarate and taurine were mixed to concentrations of 1.13, 1.04, 5.67, and 5.67 mM, respectively; the resulting solution was concentrated in a centrifugal filter by approximately four-fold, transferred to an EPR tube, and frozen in liquid N2.
XAS Data Collection and Processing
X-ray absorption spectra were collected on beamline 7-3 at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource under ring conditions of 3 GeV and 500 mA. A Si(220) monochromator (φ=90°) was used for energy selection of the incident beam; harmonic rejection was achieved using a Rh-coated mirror (9 keV) and by detuning the monochromator by 85%. The energy of the incident beam was calibrated by using a vanadium foil upstream of the sample (5465.2 eV). Scans were carried out over the energy range of 5235–6250 eV for a total exposure of 800 seconds. The beam intensity was measured using N2-filled ion chambers before the sample. The sample was placed at 45° relative to the incident beam and the Kα fluorescence was monitored using a 30 element germanium detector. Sample temperature was maintained at 10 K in a liquid helium flow cryostat.
Data processing was performed with the EXAFSPAK software package.58 Three-segment splines (of orders 2, 3, and 3) were removed from the EXAFS using PySpline59 and the EXAFS data were then fit using OPT. Appropriate structural models were adapted from Sinnecker et al.55 (replacing Fe with V), and scattering paths for EXAFS fits were generated using FEFF 9.0 (additional details can be found in the Supporting Information).60 During EXAFS fitting, the distances, Debye-Waller factors, and E0 parameter were all allowed to float while coordination numbers were systematically varied; for all fits the passive electron reduction factor (S02) was fixed at 1. For XANES analysis, the pre-edge region was fit using BlueprintXAS61 and the edge jump obtained from the fits was normalized to 1; reported areas and intensity-weighted average energies are the average of at least 21 physically reasonable fits.
EPR Measurements
X-band continuous wave (CW) measurements were performed on a Bruker ESP 300 spectrometer with an ER 041 MR microwave bridge and an ER 4116DM resonator. All other EPR measurements were performed on a Bruker Elexsys E580 X-band spectrometer equipped with a SuperX-FT microwave bridge. For pulse EPR measurements at X-band, a Bruker ER 4118X-MS5 resonator was used in concert with an Oxford CF935 helium flow cryostat. Microwave pulses generated by the microwave bridge were amplified by a 1 kW traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier (Applied Systems Engineering, model 117x). Pulse EPR spectra at Q-band frequencies were acquired using a home-built intermediate-frequency extension of the SuperX-FT X-band bridge that has a Millitech 5W pulse power amplifier. All experiments were conducted on a home-built TE011 resonator utilizing the open resonator concept developed by Annino et al.62 and mechanical construction of the probehead similar to that presented by Reijerse et al.63 This setup allows t(π/2) = 12–16 ns at maximum input power with spectrometer dead time (including the resonator ring time) of 100–120 ns. Data acquisition and control of experimental parameters were performed by using Bruker XEPR software.
EPR Analysis
Data processing and spectral simulations were performed using Kazan viewer, a home-written suite of utilities in MATLAB.64 One-dimensional EPR simulations were performed using the “pepper” utility from the EasySpin software package.65 HYSCORE data were analyzed by simultaneous frequency domain simulation of all field-dependent spectra until a satisfactory solution was achieved. The rhombicity of the hyperfine coupling, ε, was defined as
(1) |
Euler angles (y-convention) are reported with respect to the 51V hyperfine coupling tensor, which is collinear with the g matrix in our simulations.
Geometric information was calculated using a point-dipole model, according to the formula
(2) |
Deviations from this idealized model could result from significant delocalization of spin density onto the vanadyl oxo ligand. However, available experimental and theoretical results suggest this delocalization is likely to be 5–20%.67,67 At these levels of spin density on oxygen, deviations from the point dipole model are calculated using a geometric model to be within the stated experimental error.
Size Exclusion Chromatography
SyrB1 and SyrB2 were purified and SyrB1 was charged with L-cyclopropylglycine as previously described.17 Oxygen was reomoved from L-cyclopropylglycinyl-S-SyrB1 and SyrB2 as previously described. SyrB2; Fe2+, Mn2+, or VO2+; Cl−; 2OG; and L-cyclopropylglycinyl-S-SyrB1 were mixed in an MBraun (Stratham, NH) anoxic chamber to final concentrations of 0.54 mM, 0.50 mM, 10 mM, 2.6 mM, and 0.56 mM, respectively, with a final volume of 0.150 mL. After removal from the anoxic chamber, samples were mixed with 0.40 mL air-saturated buffer and then centrifuged briefly. Either immediately or after the specified delay, samples were applied to a GE Healthcare Superdex 200 10/300 GL column at 4 °C using a 100 μL sample loop and eluted at 0.7 mL/min with 1.2 column volumes of 50 mM sodium HEPES pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl.
