S K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopic investigation of the Ni-containing superoxide dismutase active site: new structural insight into the mechanism
Abstract
Superoxide dismutases protect cells from the toxic effects of reactive oxygen species derived from superoxide. Nickel-containing superoxide dismutases (NiSOD), found in Streptomyces species and in cyanobacteria, are distinct from Mn-, Fe-, or Cu/Zn-containing SODs in amino acid sequence and metal ligand environment. Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopic investigations were carried out for a series of mono- and binuclear Ni model compounds with varying sulfur ligation, and for oxidized and reduced NiSOD to elucidate the types of Ni-S interactions found in the two oxidation states. The S K-edge XAS spectra clearly indicate the presence of Ni(III)-bound terminal thiolate in the oxidized enzyme and the absence of such coordination to Ni(II) in the peroxide-reduced enzyme. This striking change in the S ligation for Ni with redox suggests that, upon peroxide reduction, an electron is transferred to the Ni(III) site and the terminal thiolate becomes protonated, providing an efficient mechanism for proton-coupled electron transfer.
