Benzoyl-CoA reductase (BCR) from the bacterium Thauera aromatica catalyzes the two-electron reduction of benzoyl-CoA (BCoA) to a nonaromatic cyclic diene. In a process analogous to enzymatic nitrogen reduction, BCR couples the electron transfer to the aromatic ring to a stoichiometric hydrolysis of 2 ATP͞2e ؊ . Reduced but not oxidized BCR hydrolyzes ATP to ADP. In this work, purified BCR was shown to catalyze an isotope exchange from [ 14 C]ADP to [ 14 C]ATP, which was Ϸ15% of the ATPase activity in the presence of equimolar amounts of ADP and ATP. In accordance, BCR (␣␤␥␦-composition) autophosphorylated its ␥-subunit when incubated with [␥-32 P]ATP. Formation of the enzyme-phosphate was independent of the redox state, whereas only dithionitereduced BCR catalyzed a dephosphorylation associated with the ATPase activity. This finding suggests that the ATPase-and autophosphatase-partial activities of BCR exhibit identical redox dependencies. BCoA or the nonphysiological electron-accepting substrate hydroxylamine stimulated the redox-dependent effects; the rates of both the overall ATPase and the autophosphatase activities of reduced BCR were increased 6-fold. In contrast, BCoA and hydroxylamine had no effect on oxidized and phosphorylated BCR. The reactivity of the phosphoamino acid fits best with a phosphoamidate or acylphosphate linkage. The results obtained suggest a mechanism of ATP hydrolysis-driven electron transfer, which differs from that of nitrogenase by the transient formation of a phosphorylated enzyme.B enzoyl-CoA (BCoA) is a central intermediate in the metabolism of many aromatic compounds in anaerobic bacteria. This compound becomes reduced by benzoyl-CoA reductase (BCR), a key enzyme in anaerobic aromatic metabolism (1, 2). It catalyzes the reductive dearomatization of BCoA to cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA ( Fig. 1; ref. 3). In this reaction, the hydrolysis of two ATP to ADP and Pi is stoichiometrically coupled to the transfer of two single electrons from reduced ferredoxin to the aromatic substrate. Notably, BCR also catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of the nonphysiological substrate hydroxylamine (2). The stoichiometric coupling of ATP hydrolysis to an electron transfer process has long been considered as a unique feature of nitrogenases (4, 5). However, there are no amino acid sequence similarities between BCR and nitrogenases.The reduction of the aromatic ring is a mechanistically and energetically difficult process that in organic synthesis requires solvated electrons, which are generated by dissolving alkali metals in liquid ammonia. In a so-called Birch mechanism, the reduction of the aromatic ring proceeds in single electron and proton transfer steps by means of radical intermediates (6). A similar mechanism has been proposed for enzymatic benzene ring reduction (7). The crucial step is the first electron transfer to the aromatic ring yielding a nonaromatic radical anion, which requires a redox potential of Ϫ1.9 V (3). BCR overcomes this high redox barrier by coupling a stoichiomet...

Benzoyl-CoA reductases (BCRs) are key enzymes of anaerobic aromatic metabolism in facultatively anaerobic bacteria. The highly oxygen-sensitive enzymes catalyze the ATP-dependent reductive dearomatization of the substrate, yielding cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA (1,5-dienoyl-CoA). In extracts from anaerobically grown denitrifying Thauera aromatica, we detected a benzoate-induced, benzoyl-CoA-forming, 1,5-dienoyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase activity. This activity co-purified with BCR but could be partially separated from it by hydroxyapatite chromatography. After activity staining on native gels, a monomeric protein with a subunit molecular weight of M r 76,000 was identified. Mass spectrometric analysis of tryptic digests identified peptides from NADH oxidases/2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductases/"old yellow" enzymes. The UV-visible spectrum of the enriched enzyme suggested the presence of flavin and Fe/S-cofactors, and it was bleached upon the addition of 1,5-dienoyl-CoA. The enzyme had a high affinity for dioxygen as electron acceptor (K m ‫؍‬ 10 M) and therefore is referred to as 1,5-dienoyl-CoA oxidase (DCO). The likely product formed from dioxygen reduction was H 2 O. DCO was highly specific for 1,5-dienoyl-CoA (K m ‫؍‬ 27 M). The initial rate of DCO followed a Nernst curve with half-maximal activity at ؉10 mV. We propose that DCO provides protection for the extremely oxygensensitive BCR enzyme when the bacterium degrades aromatic compounds at the edge of steep oxygen gradients. The redox-dependent switch in DCO guarantees that DCO is only active during oxidative stress and circumvents futile dearomatization/ rearomatization reactions catalyzed by BCR and DCO.The central intermediate generated by most anaerobic bacteria capable of using aromatic compounds as growth substrates is benzoyl-CoA, which then serves as the substrate for dearomatizing benzoyl-CoA reductases (BCRs) 2 (1-5). With the exception of the enzyme from Rhodopseudomonas palustris, all BCRs appear to catalyze the two-electron reduction of benzoyl-CoA, yielding cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA (1,5-dienoyl-CoA; Fig. 1). The catalytic mechanism of BCR is considered to proceed in analogy to the Birch reduction in chemical synthesis and involves electron transfer steps at extremely low redox potentials (6). Two completely different classes of dearomatizing benzoyl-CoA reductases have been described. In BCR from facultative anaerobes, the electron transfer from reduced ferredoxin to benzoyl-CoA is coupled to a stoichiometric ATP-hydrolysis (1 ATP/electron transferred) (7,8). The biochemistry of ATP-dependent BCR enzymes has so far only been studied with the enzyme from the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica. It has an ␣␤␥␦ subunit composition with two functionally different modules: (i) the electron activation module is composed of the ␣␦ subunits (49 and 29 kDa, respectively) and harbors two ATP-binding sites and the so-called electron entry 1ϩ/2ϩ cluster; (ii) the benzoylCoA reduction module is formed by the ␤␥ subunits (48 and 44 kDa, respe...
