摘要

University, South Parks Road, OX1 3QR Oxford, UK TsdA is a diheme cytochrome c which reversibly catalyzes the oxidation of thiosulfate to tetrathionate. This enzyme is important in gut microbiology and the biogeochemical sulfur cycle. Catalysis is expected to involve an unusual cysteine/histidine ligated heme. By solving the first structure of this enzyme by X-ray crystallography to 1.3 ?resolution we have been able to dissect the catalytic mechanism at this heme. We have shown that the heme-ligating thiolate is indeed reactive and can dissociate from the heme to be covalently modified with alkylating reagents. Additionally, a covalent reaction intermediate can be detected by acid-quenching the enzyme mid-reaction, or by performing stalled half-reactions. We have characterised these cysteine adducts, their formation and their stability by a combination of X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, various spectroscopic techniques and protein film electrochemistry. We propose a tentative catalytic mechanism based on our data.
