ABSTRACT
The heme-dependent l-tyrosine hydroxylases (TyrHs) in natural product biosynthesis constitute a new enzyme family in contrast to the nonheme iron enzymes for DOPA production. A representative TyrH exhibits dual reactivity of C-H and C-F bond cleavage when challenged with 3-fluoro-l-tyrosine (3-F-Tyr) as a substrate. However, little is known about how the enzyme mediates two distinct reactions. Herein, a new TyrH from the thermophilic bacterium Streptomyces sclerotialus (SsTyrH) was functionally and structurally characterized. A de novo crystal structure of the enzyme-substrate complex at 1.89-Å resolution provides the first comprehensive structural study of this hydroxylase. The binding conformation of l-tyrosine indicates that C-H bond hydroxylation is initiated by electron transfer. Mutagenesis studies confirmed that an active site histidine, His88, participates in catalysis. We also obtained a 1.68-Å resolution crystal structure in complex with the monofluorinated substrate, 3-F-Tyr, which shows one binding conformation but two orientations of the fluorine atom with a ratio of 73, revealing that the primary factor of product distribution is the substrate orientation. During in crystallo reaction, a ferric-hydroperoxo intermediate (compound 0, Fe3+-OOH) was observed with 3-F-Tyr as a substrate based on characteristic spectroscopic features. We determined the crystal structure of this compound 0-type intermediate and refined it to 1.58-Å resolution. Collectively, this study provided the first molecular details of the heme-dependent TyrH and determined the primary factor that dictates the partitioning between the dual reactivities of C-H and C-F bond activation.
