Monofunctional Heme-Catalases

Resumen:
The review focuses on four issues that are critical for the understanding of monofunctional catalases. How hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) reaches the active site and outcompetes water molecules to be able to function at a very high rate is one of the issues examined. Part of the answer is a gate valve system that is instrumental to drive out solvent molecules from the final section of the main channel. A second issue relates to how the enzyme deals with an unproductive reactive compound I (Cpd I) intermediate. Peroxidatic two and one electron donors and the transfer of electrons to the active site from NADPH and other compounds are reviewed. The new ascribed catalase reactions are revised, indicating possible measurement pitfalls. A third issue concerns the heme b to heme d oxidation, why this reaction occurs only in some large-size subunit catalases (LSCs), and the possible role of singlet oxygen in this and other modifications. The formation of a covalent bond between the proximal tyrosine with the vicinal residue is analyzed. The last issue refers to the origin and function of the additional C-terminal domain (TD) of LSCs. The TD has a molecular chaperone activity that is traced to a gene fusion between a Hsp31-type chaperone and a small-size subunit catalase (SSC).
