PG - 4956-69 LID - 10.1021/bi5002757 [doi] AB - The coelomic O2-binding hemoglobin dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the sea worm Amphitrite ornata is a dual-function heme protein that also possesses a peroxidase activity. Two different starting oxidation states are required for reversible O2 binding (ferrous) and peroxidase (ferric) activity, bringing into question how DHP manages the two functions. In our previous study, the copresence of substrate 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) and H2O2 was found to be essential for the conversion of oxy-DHP to enzymatically active ferric DHP. On the basis of that study, a functional switching mechanism involving substrate radicals (TCP(*)) was proposed. To further support this mechanism, herein we report details of our investigations into the H2O2-mediated conversion of oxy-DHP to the ferric or ferryl ([TCP] < [H2O2]) state triggered by both biologically relevant [TCP and 4-bromophenol (4-BP)] and nonrelevant (ferrocyanide) compounds. At <50 muM H2O2, all of these conversion reactions are completely inhibited by ferric heme ligands (KCN and imidazole), indicating the involvement of ferric DHP. Furthermore, the spin-trapping reagent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) effectively inhibits the TCP/4-BP (but not ferrocyanide)-triggered conversion of oxy-DHP to ferric DHP. These results and O2 concentration-dependent conversion rates observed in this study demonstrate that substrate TCP triggers the conversion of oxy-DHP to a peroxidase by TCP(*) oxidation of the deoxyferrous state. TCP(*) is progressively generated, by increasingly produced amounts of ferric DHP, upon H2O2 oxidation of TCP catalyzed initially by trace amounts of ferric enzyme present in the oxy-DHP sample. The data presented herein further address the mechanism of how the halophenolic substrate triggers the conversion of hemoglobin DHP into a peroxidase.
