文摘

Tyramine 尾-monooxygenase (T尾M), the insect homologue of dopamine 尾-monooxygenase, is a neuroregulatory enzyme that catalyzes the 尾-hydroxylation of tyramine to yield octopamine. Mutation of the methionine (Met) ligand to Cu_M of T尾M, Met471Cys, yielded a form of T尾M that is catalytically active but susceptible to inactivation during turnover [Hess, C. R., Wu, Z., Ng, A., Gray, E. E., McGuirl, M. M., and Klinman, J. P. (2008) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130, 11939鈥?1944]. Further, although the wild-type (WT) enzyme undergoes coordination of Met471 to Cu_M in its reduced form, the generation of Met471Cys almost completely eliminates this interaction [Hess, C. R., Klinman, J. P., and Blackburn, N. J. (2010) J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 15, 1195鈥?207]. The aim of this study is to identify the chemical consequence of the poor ability of Cys to coordinate Cu_M. We show that Met471Cys T尾M is 5-fold more susceptible to inactivation than the WT enzyme in the presence of the cosubstrate/reductant ascorbate and that this process is not facilitated by the substrate tyramine. The resulting 50-fold smaller ratio for turnover to inactivation in the case of Met471Cys prevents full turnover of the substrate under all conditions examined. Liquid chromatography鈥搕andem mass spectrometry analysis of proteolytic digests of inactivated Met471Cys T尾M leads to the identification of cysteic acid at position 471. While both Met and Cys side chains are expected to be similarly subject to oxidative damage in proteins, the enhanced reactivity of Met471Cys toward solution oxidants in T尾M is attributed to its weaker interaction with Cu(I)_M.
