non-heme iron, required. The catalytic non-heme iron, deeply buried in the CspLOX2 active site, is coordinated by three invariant histidines (His257, His262, His449), Asn453 and the carboxy group of the C-terminal Ile569. The sixth ligand of the octahedrally coordinated iron, which is positioned towards the putative substrate binding channel, is a water (Fe2+-H2O) or hydroxide molecule (Fe3+-OH) acting as a catalytic base for hydrogen abstraction during catalysis, coordination of the iron cofactor, overview |
