| Popis: | Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) contain a unique active site consisting of a non-heme diiron carboxylate site proximal to a flavin mononucleotide (FMN). FDPs serve as the terminal components for reductive scavenging of dioxygen (to water) or nitric oxide (to nitrous oxide), which combats oxidative or nitrosative stress in many bacteria. Characterizations of FDPs from spirochetes or from any oral microbes have not been previously reported. Here, we report characterization of an FDP from the anaerobic spirochete, Treponema (T.) denticola, which is associated with chronic periodontitis. The isolated T. denticola FDP exhibited efficient four-electron dioxygen reductase activity and lower but significant anaerobic nitric oxide reductase activity. A mutant T. denticola strain containing the inactivated FDP-encoding gene was significantly more air-sensitive than the wild-type strain. Single turnover reactions of the four-electron-reduced FDP (FMNH2-Fe(II)Fe(II)) (FDPred) with O2 monitored on the milliseconds to seconds time scale indicated initial rapid formation of a spectral feature consistent with a cis-μ-1,2-peroxo-diferric intermediate, which triggered two-electron oxidation of FMNH2. Reaction of FDPred with NO showed apparent cooperativity between binding of the first and second NO to the diferrous site. The resulting diferrous dinitrosyl complex triggered two-electron oxidation of the FMNH2. Our cumulative results on this and other FDPs indicate that smooth two-electron FMNH2 oxidation triggered by the FDPred/substrate complex and overall four-electron oxidation of FDPred to FDPox constitutes a mechanistic paradigm for both dioxygen and nitric oxide reductase activities of FDPs. Four-electron reductive O2 scavenging by FDPs could contribute to oxidative stress protection in many other oral bacteria. |
