3 Catalases One of the most studied class of enzymes Ubiquity of enzyme, its ease of assay (cheap, readily available substrate-h 2 O 2 ) make it an attractive target for molecular biologists and biochemists Reaction : 2 H 2 O 2 2 H 2 O + O 2 (1) Enz (Por Fe III ) + H 2 O 2 Cpd I (Por + Fe IV =O) + H 2 O (2) Cpd I (Por + Fe IV =O) + H 2 O 2 Enz (Por Fe III ) + H 2 O + O 2 (3) 1)Chelikani P, Fita I and Loewen PC.

13 The environment of the haem centre of wild-type CATPO (a) and the V123C mutant (b). The 2Fo 2Fc electrondensity map is shown in blue. The covalent bond formed between the S atom of the mutated Cys123 and the C atom of the imidazole ring of His82 is shown. The structure of wild-type CATPO contains haem d, while the V123C variant contains unmodified protohaem (haem b). The proximal ligand of the haem iron, Tyr369, is also illustrated.

15 Questions remain unanswered... How substrate and product flow within the enzyme remain unanswered, particularly related to the oxidase activity. In order to address this, we recently determined the crystal structure of the enzyme-inhibitor complex of CATPO with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3TR) (CATPO- 3TR) at 1.95 Å resolution.

16 Left: The structure of S. thermophilum catalase in complex with 3TR. The haem centre is visible to the left of the panel and the 3TR (shown as sticks with pink carbon atoms) binds in a surface pocket ~12Å from the haem (shown with green carbon atoms). Right: The structure of human catalase (PDB Code; 1DGH) showing the same view of the haem pocket, the conserved catalase fold and the surface site that is occupied by NADP. The top of this site (required to bind the nucleotide moiety is occluded in the S. thermophilum catalase by a loop (left panel, yellow ribbon) explaining the inability of this enzyme to bind NADP.

17 Future Studies Studies to determine the flow of oxidative substrates in active centre of CATPO Further mutagenesis studies to investigate how the product exists Kinetic studies to analyze oxidative substrate specificity of CATPO Studies to determine metal content of CATPO EPR to identify reaction intermediates in catalytic cycle(s) of CATPO
