Heme A, as a prosthetic group, is found exclusively in respiratory oxidases of mitochondria and aerobic bacteria. Bacillus subtilis CtaA and other heme A synthases catalyze the conversion of a methyl side group on heme O into a formyl group. The catalytic mechanism of heme A synthase is not understood, and little is known about the composition and structure of the enzyme. In this work, we have: (i) constructed a ctaA deletion mutant and a system for overproduction of mutant variants of the CtaA protein in B. subtilis, (ii) developed anaffinity purification procedure for isolation of preparative amounts of CtaA, and (iii) investigated the functional roles of four invariant histidine residues in heme A synthase by in vivo and in vitro analyses of the properties of mutant variants of CtaA. Our results show an important function of three histidine residues for heme A synthase activity. Several of the purified mutant enzyme proteins contained tightly bound heme O. One variant also contained trapped hydroxylated heme O, which is a postulated enzyme reaction intermediate. The findings indicate functional roles for the invariant histidine residues and provide strong evidence that the heme A synthase enzyme reaction includes two consecutive monooxygenations. << Less

Heme A is an essential cofactor for respiratory terminal oxidases and vital for respiration in aerobic organisms. The final step of heme A biosynthesis is formylation of the C-8 methyl group of heme molecule by heme A synthase (HAS). HAS is a heme-containing integral membrane protein, and its structure and reaction mechanisms have remained unknown. Thus, little is known about HAS despite of its importance. Here we report the crystal structure of HAS from <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> at 2.2-Å resolution. The N- and C-terminal halves of HAS consist of four-helix bundles and they align in a pseudo twofold symmetry manner. Each bundle contains a pair of histidine residues and forms a heme-binding domain. The C-half domain binds a cofactor-heme molecule, while the N-half domain is vacant. Many water molecules are found in the transmembrane region and around the substrate-binding site, and some of them interact with the main chain of transmembrane helix. Comparison of these two domain structures enables us to construct a substrate-heme binding state structure. This structure implies that a completely conserved glutamate, Glu57 in <i>B. subtilis</i>, is the catalytic residue for the formylation reaction. These results provide valuable suggestions of the substrate-heme binding mechanism. Our results present significant insight into the heme A biosynthesis. << Less

Identification of novel hemes generated by heme A synthase: evidence for two successive monooxygenase reactions.

Heme A, an obligatory cofactor in eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase, is produced from heme B (protoheme) via two enzymatic reactions catalyzed by heme O synthase and heme A synthase. Heme O synthase is responsible for the addition of a farnesyl moiety, while heme A synthase catalyzes the oxidation of a methyl substituent to an aldehyde. We have cloned the heme O synthase and heme A synthase genes from Bacillus subtilis (ctaB and ctaA) and overexpressed them in Escherichia coli to probe the oxidative mechanism of heme A synthase. Because E. coli does not naturally produce or utilize heme A, this strategy effectively decoupled heme A biosynthesis from the native electron transfer pathway and heme A transport, allowing us to observe two previously unidentified hemes. We utilized HPLC, UV/visible spectroscopy, and tandem mass spectrometry to identify these novel hemes as derivatives of heme O containing an alcohol or a carboxylate moiety at position C8 on pyrrole ring D. We interpret these derivatives to be the putative alcohol intermediate and an overoxidized byproduct of heme A synthase. Because we have shown that all hemes produced by heme A synthase require O(2) for their synthesis, we propose that heme A synthase catalyzes the oxidation of the C8 methyl to an aldehyde group via two discrete monooxygenase reactions. << Less

Heme A synthase does not incorporate molecular oxygen into the formyl group of heme A.

Heme A is an obligatory cofactor in all eukaryotic and many prokaryotic cytochrome c oxidases. The final step in heme A biosynthesis requires the oxidation of the C8 methyl substituent on pyrrole ring D to an aldehyde, a reaction catalyzed by heme A synthase. To effect this transformation, heme A synthase is proposed to utilize a heme B cofactor, oxidizing the substrate via successive monooxygenase reactions. Consistent with this hypothesis, the activity of heme A synthase is found to be strictly dependent on molecular oxygen. Surprisingly, when cells expressing heme A synthase were incubated with (18)O(2), no significant incorporation of label was observed in heme A, the C8 alcohol intermediate, or the C8 overoxidized byproduct. Conversely, when the cells were grown in H(2)(18)O, partial labeling was observed at every heme oxygen position. These results suggest that the oxygen on the heme A aldehyde is derived from water. Although our data do not allow us to exclude the possibility of exchange with water inside of the cell, the results seem to question a mechanism utilizing successive monooxygenase reactions and support instead a mechanism of heme O oxidation via electron transfer. << Less

Involvement of mitochondrial ferredoxin and Cox15p in hydroxylation of heme O.
Barros M.H., Carlson C.G., Glerum D.M., Tzagoloff A.
Cox15p is essential for the biogenesis of cytochrome oxidase [Glerum et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272 (1997) 19088-19094]. We show here that cox15 mutants are blocked in heme A but not heme O biosynthesis. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe COX15 is fused to YAH1, the yeast gene for mitochondrial ferredoxin ( ... >> More
Cox15p is essential for the biogenesis of cytochrome oxidase [Glerum et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272 (1997) 19088-19094]. We show here that cox15 mutants are blocked in heme A but not heme O biosynthesis. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe COX15 is fused to YAH1, the yeast gene for mitochondrial ferredoxin (adrenodoxin). A fusion of Cox15p and Yah1p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae rescued both cox15 and yah1 null mutants. This suggests that Yah1p functions in concert with Cox15p. We propose that Cox15p functions together with Yah1p and its putative reductase (Arh1p) in the hydroxylation of heme O. << Less
