The Role of Glu39 in MnII Binding and Oxidation by Manganese Peroxidase from Phanerochaete chrysoporium

Abstract: Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is a heme-containing enzyme produced by white-rot fungi and is part of the extracellular lignin degrading system in these organisms. MnP is unique among Mn binding enzymes in its ability to bind and oxidize Mn II and efficiently release Mn III . Initial site-directed mutagenesis studies identified the residues E35, E39, and D179 as the Mn binding ligands. However, an E39D variant was recently reported to display wild-type Mn binding and rate of oxidation, calling into question the ro… Show more

“…Site specific mutagenesis has implicated Asp179, Glu35, and Glu39 in Mn binding (Kusters-van Someren et al, 1995;Whitwam et al, 1997;Sollewijn Gelpke et al, 1999;Youngs et al, 2001).…”

“…Alteration of the proposed ligands in the Mn-binding site significantly affects Mn binding and oxidation (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), and crystals of both the single variant, D179N, and the double variant, E35Q/D179N, lack electron density at the proposed Mn-binding site (23), suggesting that Mn II is not bound. MnP is unique among enzymes using manganese as a redox cofactor.…”

“…Other ligands—the heme propionate and Asp179—do not move from their original positions whether a metal ion is bound or not, strongly suggesting that precise geometry is required for efficient Mn II -binding and oxidation. This is confirmed by steady-state and transient-state kinetic analyses of a MnP E39D single mutant and an E35D-E39D-D179E triple mutant [23]. The single and triple mutant variants exhibit 20- and 40-fold increase in K m , and 10 3 and 10 4 decrease in catalytic efficiency, respectively.…”
