Comments
This enzyme was transferred from E.C. 1.6.4.2 to E.C. 1.8.1.7.
This enzyme catalyzes the following reactions (see [3], [13], [16]):
(A) Hydride or electron transfer from NADPH to FAD, forming FADH2 (Reduction of FAD by NADPH):
(A0) This hydride transfer involves Glu201, Lys 66 and Tyr197.
(B) Electron transfer from FADH2 to redox-active disulfide bond Cys63-Cys58 (oxidized form), forming reduced form of cysteine residues:
(B1) The C4a atom of flavin (FADH2) makes a nucleophilic attack on the sulfur atom of Cys63, causing Cys58 to leave as a thiolate ion (SN2-like reaction).
(B2) This reaction proceeds via a short-lived (unstable) intermediate (covalent bond between C4a of flavin and sulfur atom of Cys63).
(B3) The fate of the transferred hydrogen on the flavin is not clear (see [16]).
(C) Electron transfer from Cys58 (and Cys63) to glutathione disulfide (or oxidized glutathione, GSSG), producing two glutathione molecules (GSH) (see [3], [16]):
(C0) Glu472 modulates the pKa of His467'. Moreover, Tyr114 might assist His467' (see [40]).
(C1) His467' acts as a general base to deprotonate the sulfur of Cys58.
(C2) Cys58 makes a nucleophilic attack on the Cys-I of GSSG, forming a mixed disulfide bond between C58 and GSH-I, and causing Cys-II to leave as a thiolate ion. (During this reaction, electrons shift from Cys58 to Cys-I.)
(C2') The protonated sidechain of His467' polarizes the mixed disulfide bond.
(C3) Cys63 makes a nucleophilic attack on the Cys58, forming a disulfide bond again, and causing Cys-I to leave as a thiolate ion. Here, His467' acts as a general acid to protonate the thiolate of Cys-I.
