Reverse Ordered Sequential Mechanism for Lactoperoxidase with Inhibition by Hydrogen Peroxide
2021
Cupp-Sutton, Kellye | Ashby, Michael T.
Lactoperoxidase (LPO, Feᴵᴵᴵ in its resting state in the absence of substrates)—an enzyme secreted from human mammary, salivary, and other mucosal glands—catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate (SCN⁻) by hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to produce hypothiocyanite (OSCN⁻), which functions as an antimicrobial agent. The accepted catalytic mechanism, called the halogen cycle, comprises a two-electron oxidation of LPO by H₂O₂ to produce oxoiron(IV) radicals, followed by O-atom transfer to SCN⁻. However, the mechanism does not explain biphasic kinetics and inhibition by H₂O₂ at low concentration of reducing substrate, conditions that may be biologically relevant. We propose an ordered sequential mechanism in which the order of substrate binding is reversed, first SCN⁻ and then H₂O₂. The sequence of substrate binding that is described by the halogen cycle mechanism is actually inhibitory.
