the mechanism consists in four successive steps, the first one concerns addition of O2 on the C2 carbon atom, the second corresponds to the closure of the endoperoxo intermediate. In the two last steps, bonds are broken to produce the depside and carbon monoxide. Addition of dioxygen on the C2 atom (step 1) is associated to a pyramidalization at the C2 carbon atom and to a rotation of the B-ring with respect to the conjugated A-C rings. The second step is the rate limiting one and the free energy barriers characterized for the four flavonoids are very close, reaching about 24 kcal/mol. Differences in the values are not significant enough to be exploited to rationalize the nonlinear evolution of the degradation rate. Moreover, the relatively high energy value is expected to be lowered by taking into account the whole environment

computational study on the dioxygenation reaction of the substrate flavonolate (fla) by a synthetic model complex and related species mimicking quercetin 2,4-dioxygenases, overview. The reaction mechanism obtained for the present biomimetic complexes is substantially different from the plausible enzymatic reaction. All model complexes favor a single electron transfer from flavonolate to dioxygen over a valence tautomerism, and a subsequent intersystem crossing and a ring-closure lead to a formation of a 1,2-dioxetane intermediate instead of undergoing a direct formation of a precursor endoperoxide. The generation of the 1,2-dioxetane intermediate is shown to be the rate-determining step and inclusion of a carboxylate co-ligand can enhance the reactivity, rendering this process barrier-free. Proposal of a pathway, which can circumvent a non-enzymatic reaction by involving conversion from the 1,2-dioxetane to the endoperoxide with lower barriers

HNO
-
nitrosyl hydride replaces dioxygen in nitroxygenase activity of manganese quercetin dioxygenase resulting in the incorporation of both N and O atoms into the product. Turnover is demonstrated by consumption of quercetin and other related substrates under anaerobic conditions in the presence of HNO-releasing compounds and the enzyme. As with dioxygenase activity, a nonenzymatic base-catalyzed reaction of quercetin with HNO isobserved above pH 7, but no enhancement of this basal reactivity is found upon addition of divalent metal salts. Unique and regioselective N-containing products are characterized by MS analysis for both the enzymatic and nonenzymatic reactions
Nickel
dioxygen shows two binding modes to the nickel ion, which can convert each other. Due to the overlap between the vacant d orbitals of nickel and the lone pair p orbitals of dioxygen and quercetin, electron transfer occurs from quercetin to dioxygen via the nickel center. Both dioxygen and quercetin can be activated by their binding to the nickel ion. The triplet reactant complex favors the catalytic reaction, and the whole reaction contains four elementary steps. A nonchemical process, the Op-Od bond rotation along the nickel center, is suggested to be rate-limiting with a free energy barrier of 19.9 kcal/mol

the enzyme has a mononuclear type 2 copper center, steric effects of the protein environment contribute to maintain the orientation of the substrate dissociated from the copper center. A prior rearrangement of the Cu2+-alkylperoxo complex and a subsequent hydrogen bond switching assisted by the movement of Glu73 can facilitate formation of an endoperoxide intermediate selectively
Cu2+

can partly substitute for Mn2+
Cu2+

Cu2+ salt addition increases the activity of quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase 1.4fold. The Escherichia coli cultures were grown at 37°C and 200 rpm for 6 h, induced with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyanoside to a final concentraton of 50 mg/l in the presence of 10 microM CuCl2, and allow to grow additional 4 h at 25°C.
Cu2+
-
activates, Cu-QDO, during the reaction mechanism of Cu-QDO dioxygen binds to the metal ion of the Cu-QDO-quercetin complex, yielding a Cu2+-superoxo quercetin radical intermediate, which then forms a Cu2+-alkylperoxo complex, the alkylperoxo complex evolves into endoperoxide intermediate that decomposes to the product
Cu2+
-
required, the major role of the activesite metal ion could be to correctly position the substrate and to stabilize transition states and intermediates rather than to mediate electron transfer

enzyme-bound, only poorly supports catalytic activity
Iron

different coordination geometry in the two active sites of the dimer
Iron
when the metal cofactor is replaced by an iron ion, the rate-limiting step switches from the Op-Od bond rotation to the collapse of the five-membered ring intermediate, corresponding to a free energy barrier of 30.3 kcal/mol

Mn2+ salt addition increases the activity of quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase 35fold. The Escherichia coli cultures were grown at 37°C and 200 rpm for 6 h, induced with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyanoside to a final concentraton of 50 mg/l in the presence of 10 microM MnSO4, and allow to grow additional 4 h at 25°C. The protein containes 1.6-1.9 atoms of Mn/subunit.
Mn2+

preferred divalent metal ion
Mn2+
-
activates, Mn-QDO, Mn2+ i the preferred metal ion. Mn-QDO in absence of O2 shows ability to react with nitroxyl (HNO)-singly reduced form of NO. HNO is incorporated into quercetin in the same manner as dioxygen, yet the reaction is strictly regioselective, as the only product is 2-((3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)(imino) methoxy)-4,6-dihydroxybenzoate

Ni2+ salt addition increases the activity of quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase 2.6fold. The Escherichia coli cultures were grown at 37°C and 200 rpm for 6 h, induced with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactopyanoside to a final concentraton of 50 mg/l in the presence of 10 microM NiCl2, and allow to grow additional 4 h at 25°C.
