An Arylamine N-oxygenase involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic nitro compounds : characterization, mechanism and structural analysis

초록

영어

p-Aminobenzoate N-oxygenase (AurF) from Streptomyces thioluteus catalyzes the formation of unusual polyketide synthease starter unit p-nitrobenzoic acid (pNBA) from p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA) in the biosynthesis of antibiotic aureothin. Homologous AurF proteins are expected to be also involved in the biosynthesis of other aromatic nitro compounds such as spectinabilin, alloaureothin, griseulin and SNF4435C/D. AurF is a metalloenzyme, but its native enzymatic activity has not been demonstrated in vitro and its catalytic mechanism is unclear. In addition, the nature of the cofactor remains a controversy1,2. Here we report the in vitro reconstitution of the enzymatic activity by both biological and chemical methods, the crystal structure of AurF in oxidized state, and the co-crystal structure of AurF with product pNBA. Our combined biochemical and structural analysis unequivocally indicate that AurF is a nonheme di-iron monooxygenase that catalyzes sequential oxidation of aminoarenes to nitroarenes via hydroxylamine and nitrosoamine intermediates.
