Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase (CODH/ACS) is a bifunctional enzyme which enables archaea and bacteria to grow autotrophically on CO and hydrogen/carbon dioxide using the Wood−Ljundahl pathway. CO produced from reduction of carbon dioxide by CODH is transferred to the active site of ACS through an intramolecular tunnel, where it combines with Coenzyme A and a methyl cation to produce acetyl-CoA. The active site of ACS contains a single [4Fe−4S] cluster bridged by a cysteine sulfur atom to a binuclear center. The binuclear center is composed of two Ni atoms bridged by two separate cysteine sulfurs. The Ni site attached to the [4Fe−4S] is referred to as proximal Ni, while the other Ni atom, which assumes a square-planar geometry, is referred to as the distal site. We report the characterization of the carbonylated form of highly active (0.67 spins/mol) heterologously expressed monomeric ACS fromC.hydrogenoformansinE.coliby rapid-freeze quench EPR (RFQ−EPR) and stopped-flow infrared (SF−IR) spectroscopies. The reaction of ACS with CO produces a single metal−carbonyl species whose formation rate, measured by SF−IR, correlates with the rate of formation, measured by RFQ−EPR, of the paramagnetic state of the enzyme (NiFeCspecies). These results indicate that theNiFeCspecies is the predominant form observed in solution when ACS reacts with CO. The NiFeC species contains the proximal Ni in the +1 redox state and the [4Fe−4S] cluster in the 2+ state, thus there is no evidence for either a Ni(0) or a Ni(II) state in the active carbonylated form of the enzyme.
