Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a non-heme mononuclear iron enzyme that catalyzes the O-2-dependent oxidation of L-cysteine (Cys) to produce cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA). In this study we demonstrate that the catalytic cycle of CDO can be "primed" by one electron through chemical oxidation to produce CDO with ferric iron in the active site (Fe-III-CDO, termed 2). While catalytically inactive, the substrate-bound form of Fe-III-CDO (2a) is more amenable to interrogation by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy than the 'asisolated' Fe-II-CDO enzyme (1). Chemical-rescue experiments were performed in which superoxide (O-2(center dot-)) anions were introduced to 2a to explore the possibility that a Fe-III-superoxide species represents the first intermediate within the catalytic pathway of CDO. In principle, O-2(center dot-) serve as a suitable acceptor for the remaining 3-electrons necessary for CSA formation and regeneration of the active Fe-II-CDO enzyme (1). Indeed, addition of O-2(center dot-). to 2a resulted in the rapid formation of a transient species (termed 3a) observable at 565 nm by UV-vis spectroscopy. The subsequent decay of 3a is kinetically matched to CSA formation. Moreover, a signal attributed to 3a was also identified using parallel mode X-band EPR spectroscopy (g similar to 11). Spectroscopic simulations, observed temperature dependence, and the microwave power saturation behavior of 3a are consistent with a ground state S = 3 from a ferromagnetically coupled (J similar to -8 cm(-1)) high-spin ferric iron (S-A = 5/2) with a bound radical (S-B = 1/2), presumably O-2(center dot-). Following treatment with O-2(center dot-), the specific activity of recovered CDO increased to similar to 60% relative to untreated enzyme.
