Structure and reactivity of chlorite dismutase nitrosyls. J Inorg Biochem. 2020 Jul 26;211:111203 Authors: Geeraerts Z, Heskin AK, DuBois J, Rodgers KR, Lukat-Rodgers GS Abstract Ferric nitrosyl ({FeNO}6) and ferrous nitrosyl ({FeNO}7) complexes of the chlorite dismutases (Cld) from Klebsiella pneumoniae and Dechloromonas aromatica have been characterized using UV-visible absorbance and Soret-excited resonance Raman spectroscopy. Both of these Clds form kinetically stable {FeNO}6 complexes and they occupy a unique region of ν(Fe-NO)/ν(N-O) correlation space for proximal histidine liganded heme proteins, characteristic of weak Fe-NO and N-O bonds. This location is attributed to admixed FeIII-NO character of the {FeNO}6 ground state. Cld {FeNO}6 complexes undergo slow reductive nitrosylation to yield {FeNO}7 complexes. The effects of proximal and distal environment on reductive nitroylsation rates for these dimeric and pentameric Clds are reported. The ν(Fe-NO) and ν(N-O) frequencies for Cld {FeNO}7 complexes reveal both six-coordinate (6c) and five-coordinate (5c) nitrosyl hemes. These 6c and 5c forms are in a pH dependent equilibrium. The 6c and 5c {FeNO}7 Cld frequencies provided positions of both Clds on their respective ν(Fe-NO) vs ν(N-O) correlation lines. The 6c {FeNO}7 complexes fall below (along the ν(Fe-NO) axis) the correlation line that reports hydrogen-bond donation to NNO, which is consistent with a relatively weak...
