Autocatalytic formation of a hydroxy group at C beta of trp171 in lignin peroxidase

Biochemistry

Abstract

In the high-resolution crystal structures of two lignin peroxidase isozymes from the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium a significant electron density at single bond distance from the C beta of Trp171 was observed and interpreted as a hydroxy group. To further clarify the nature of this feature, we carried out tryptic digestion of the enzyme and isolated the Trp171 containing peptide. Under ambient conditions, this peptide shows an absorbance spectrum typical of tryptophan. At elevated temperature, however, the formation of an unusual absorbance spectrum with lambda max = 333 nm can be followed that is identical to that of N-acetyl-alpha, beta-didehydrotryptophanamide, resulting upon water elimination from beta-hydroxy tryptophan. The Trp171 containing tryptic peptide isolated from the recombinant and refolded lignin peroxidase produced from Escherichia coli does not contain the characteristic 333 nm absorbance band at any temperature. However, treatment with 3 equiv of H2O2 leads to complete hydroxylation of Trp171. Reducing substrates compete with this process, e.g., in the presence of 0.5 mM veratryl alcohol, about 7 equiv of H2O2 is necessary for complete modification. We conclude that the hydroxylation at the C b...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
