Abstract
Multi‐component, non‐heme iron‐dependent oxygenases catalyse a range of biochemical processes, as extensive as those found in heme chemistry. Oxidation of quaternary ammonium substrate carnitine by Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) oxygenase CntA/ reductase CntB is implicated in the onset of human cardiovascular disease. However, detailed mechanistic understanding of the CntAB reaction is not known. Here, we develop a blue‐light (365 nm) activation of NADH coupled to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements to study electron transfer from the excited state of NADH to the oxidised, Rieske‐type, [2Fe‐2S] 2+ cluster in the AbCntA oxygenase domain with and without the substrate, carnitine. Further electron transfer from one‐electron reduced, Rieske‐type [2Fe‐2S] 1+ centre in AbCntA‐WT to the mono‐nuclear, non‐heme iron centre via the bridging glutamate E205 and subsequent catalysis occurs only in the presence of carnitine. The reaction mechanism for photoactivated, NADH‐driven carnitine oxidation is different from the reaction driven by the AbCntB reductase partner. The electron transfer process in the AbCntA‐E205A mutant is severely affected, which plausibly accounts for the significant loss of catalytic activity in the AbCntA‐E205A mutant. The NADH photo‐activation coupled with EPR is broadly applicable to trap reactive intermediates at low temperature and creates a new method to characterise elusive intermediates in multiple redox‐centre containing proteins.
