On the regiospecificity of vanadium bromoperoxidase.

چکیده
Vanadium haloperoxidase enzymes catalyze the oxidation of halide ions by hydrogen peroxide, producing an oxidized intermediate, which can halogenate an organic substrate or react with a second equivalent of hydrogen peroxide to produce dioxygen. Haloperoxidases are thought to be involved in the biogenesis of halogenated natural products isolated from marine organisms, including indoles and terpenes, of which many are selectively oxidized or halogenated. Little has been shown concerning the ability of the marine haloperoxidases to catalyze regioselective reactions. Here we report the regiospecific bromoperoxidative oxidation of 1,3-di-tert-butylindole by V-BrPO from the marine algae Ascophyllum nodosum and Corallina officinalis. Both enzymes catalyze the regiospecific oxidation of 1,3-di-tert-butylindole in a reaction requiring both H(2)O(2) and Br(-) as substrates, but which produce the unbrominated 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2-indolinone product exclusively, in near quantitative yield (i.e. one H(2)O(2) consumed per product). By contrast, reactions with the controlled addition of aqueous bromine solution (HOBr = Br(2) = Br(3)(-)) produce three monobromo and one dibromo-2-indolinone products, all of which differ from the V-BrPO-catalyzed product. Further, reactivities of 1,3-di-tert-butyl-2-indolinone with both aqueous bromine and V-BrPO differ significantly and shed light onto the possible nature of the oxidizing intermediate. This is the first example of a regiospecific bromination by a vanadium haloperoxidase and further extends their usefulness as catalysts.

Sulfoxidation mechanism of vanadium bromoperoxidase from Ascophyllum nodosum. Evidence for direct oxygen transfer catalysis.
We have previously shown that vanadium bromoperoxidase from Ascophyllum nodosum mediates production of the (R)-enantiomer of methyl phenyl sulfoxide with 91% enantiomeric excess. Investigation of the intrinsic selectivity of vanadium bromoperoxidase reveals that the enzyme catalyzes the sulfoxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide in a purely enantioselective manner. The K(m) of the enzyme for methyl...
متن کاملVanadium haloperoxidases.
The nature of the oxidized halogen intermediate in vanadium bromoperoxidase has recently been shown to depend on the nature of the organic substrate. For example, in the presence of indoles, vanadium bromoperoxidase does not release a freely diffusible oxidized halogen intermediate (such as HOBr+/-BR2+/-Br3-). Regioselective investigations are, therefore, now feasible.
متن کاملThe bromoperoxidase from the lichen Xanthoria parietina is a novel vanadium enzyme.
A novel bromoperoxidase was isolated from the lichen Xanthoria parietina. The enzyme contained vanadium, which is essential for enzymic activity. Under denaturating conditions the preparation showed a single protein band with an Mr of 65,000. Thermal-denaturation studies showed that this bromoperoxidase could tolerate high temperatures. The affinity of the enzyme for its substrate bromide is hi...
متن کاملBromoperoxidase activity of vanadate-substituted acid phosphatases from Shigella flexneri and Salmonella enterica ser. typhimurium.
Vanadium haloperoxidases and the bacterial class A nonspecific acid phosphatases have a conserved active site. It is shown that vanadate-substituted recombinant acid phosphatase from Shigella flexneri (PhoN-Sf) and Salmonella enterica ser. typhimurium (PhoN-Se) in the presence of H2O2 are able to oxidize bromide to hypobromous acid. Vanadate is essential for this activity. The kinetic parameter...
