The factor inhibiting hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (FIH) is a nonheme Fe(II)/alpha KG oxygenase using a 2-His-1-Asp facial triad. FIH activates 02 via oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha KG) to generate an enzyme based oxidant which hydroxylates the Asn(803) residue within the C-terminal transactivation domain (CTAD) of HIF-1 alpha. Tight coupling of these two sequential reactions requires a structural linkage between the Fe(II) and the substrate binding site to ensure that 02 activation occurs after substrate binds. We tested the hypothesis that the facial triad carboxylate (Asp(201)) of FIH linked substrate binding and 02 binding sites. Asp201 variants of FIH were constructed and thoroughly characterized in vitro using steady-state kinetics, crystallography, autohydroxylation, and coupling measurements. Our studies revealed each variant activated 02 with a catalytic efficiency similar to that of wild-type (WT) FIH (k(cat)aK(M)(O-2)=0.17 mu M-1 min(-1)), but led to defects in the coupling of 02 activation to substrate hydroxylation. Steady-state kinetics showed similar catalytic efficiencies for hydroxylation by WT-FIH (k(cat/)K(M(CTAD)) = 0.42 mu M-1 min(-1)) and D201G (k(cat)/K-M(CTAD) = 0.34 mu M-1 min(-1)); hydroxylation by D201E was greatly impaired, while hydroxylation by D201A was undetectable. Analysis of the crystal structure of the D201E variant revealed steric crowding near the diffusible ligand site supporting a role for sterics from the facial triad carboxylate in the 02 binding order. Our data support a model in which the facial triad carboxylate Asp201 provides both steric and polar contacts to favor O-2 access to the Fe(II) only after substrate binds, leading to coupled tumover in FIH and other alpha KG oxygenases.
