Comments
In this enzyme, the dinuclear metal center (Fe/Zn or Fe/Mn) seems to play a key role in the catalysis [6]. According to the paper [6], the metal coordination of the phosphate ester seems to be essential in the following functions:
(a) lower the pKa of the metal-coordinated water molecule, in order to make the water nucleohilic.
(b) neutralize the negative charge on the oxygen atoms of the phosphate ester, in order to increase the electrophilicity of the phosphorous atom, making it more susceptible to the nucelophilic attack.
(c) orient the substrate for in-line attack.
Moreover, the redox state of the iron is also important [6]. Fe3+ is required for the role as Lewis acid to lower the pKa of the bound water, whilst Fe2+ has a decreased Lewis acidity [6].
Furthermore, two arginine residues (Arg122/Arg254 for 1aui) seem to stabilize the transition state by neutralizing the negatively charged phosphate ester [6].
Although the paper [6] suggested many possible roles of His151/Asp121 (such as acid/base, substrate binding, general base, and orienting the nucleophilic hydroxide solvent molecule) in the catalysis, it proposed a dissociative (SN1-like) mechanism, where the histidine residue play a dual role as a general base and a general acid, as follows;
(1) Substrate phosphoryl group might also coordinate to one or both metal ions. The two arginine residues, Arg122/Arg254, may neutralize charge by forming hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms of the phosphoryl group, which make the substrate more electrophilic and ready for attack by a nucleophile.
(2) His151 acts as a general base to abstract proton from the metal-bound water molecule, or may orient the nucleophilic water for optimal nucleophilic attack of the phosphate ester.
(3) A dissociative transition state is formed, where bond cleavage to the leaving group has occurred prior to bond formation to the nucleophile.
(4) A metal-bound water hydroxide coordinated to Fe3+ acts as the attacking nucleophile, with the Fe3+ working as a Lewis acid to lower the pKa of the water.
(5) P-O bond cleavage in the transition state results in a negative charge on the leaving group, which causes neutralization of the negative charge by protonation with a general acid (His151) or by coordination to a metal ion (Zn2+). Here, the two arginine residues are also important for the transition state stabilization.
(6) The phosphate bridge the two metal ions of the dinuclear center.
(7) The phosphate is exchanged by a solvent water molecule, which regenerates the enzyme for another turnover.
On the other hand, the paper [4] suggested that the metal-bound water molecule acts as a nucleophile to attack the phosphorus atom of a phosphate group in an SN2 mechanism (associative mechanism).
