Abstract

In an effort to probe Co(II) binding to metallo-β-lactamase CcrA, EPR, EXAFS, and 1H NMR studies were conducted on CcrA containing 1 equiv (1-Co(II)-CcrA) and 2 equiv (Co(II)Co(II)-CcrA) of Co(II). The EPR spectra of 1-Co(II)-CcrA and Co(II)Co(II)-CcrA are distinct and indicate 5/6-coordinate Co(II) ions. The EPR spectra also reveal the absence of significant spin-exchange coupling between the Co(II) ions in Co(II)Co(II)-CcrA. EXAFS spectra of 1-Co(II)-CcrA suggest 5/6-coordinate Co(II) with two or more histidine ligands. EXAFS spectra of Co(II)Co(II)-CcrA also indicate 5/6 ligands at a similar average distance to 1-Co(II)-CcrA, including an average of about two histidines per Co(II). 1H NMR spectra for 1-Co(II)-CcrA revealed seven paramagnetically shifted resonances, three of which were solvent-exchangeable, while the NMR spectra for Co(II)Co(II)-CcrA showed at least 16 shifted resonances, including an additional solvent-exchangeable resonance and a resonance at 208 ppm. The data indicate sequential binding of Co(II) to CcrA and that the first Co(II) binds to the consensus Zn1 site in the enzyme.
