Abstract

LodA is a novel lysine-epsilon-oxidase which possesses a cysteine tryptophylquinone cofactor. It is the first tryptophylquinone enzyme known to function as an oxidase. A steady-state kinetic analysis shows that LodA obeys a ping-pong kinetic mechanism with values of k(cat) of 0.22 +/- 0.04 s (1), K-lysine of 3.2 +/- 0.5 mu M and K-O2 of 37.2 +/- 6.1 mu M. The k(cat) exhibited a pH optimum at 7.5 while k(cat)/K-lysine peaked at 7.0 and remained constant to pH 8.5. Alternative electron acceptors could not effectively substitute for O-2 in the reaction. A mechanism for the reductive half reaction of LodA is proposed that is consistent with the ping-pong kinetics. (C) 2014 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
