The discovery of 2, 4, 5-trihydoxyphenylalanine quinone, or topaquinone [TPQ (1)] 1 in copper amine oxidases (CAOs) defined a new class of enzymatic redox cofactors derived from the post-translational modification of tyrosine or tryptophan protein side chains to form quinonoid structures. Figure 1A shows the structures of the cofactors which have been characterized, namely, TPQ, lysine tyrosyl quinone [LTQ, formed via the cross-linking of a tyrosine and a lysine side chain (2)], tryptophan tryptophyl quinone [TTQ, formed via the cross-linking of two tryptophan side chains (3)], and cysteine tryptophyl quinone [CTQ, formed via the crosslinking of a cysteine and a tryptophan side chain (4)]. It has been shown that TPQ formation in CAOs proceeds through a copper-ion-dependent autoxidation which does not require another enzyme (5, 6). The details of the mechanism of TPQ biogenesis are less well established than those for catalytic turnover and are an active area of investigation (cf. refs 7 and 8). In the present review, we focus on the increasingly well-described role for TPQ in the conversion of the substrates, primary amines and molecular oxygen, to aldehydes and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. Since the kinetics of the TPQ enzymes display a classical ping pong mechanism (9), it is relatively easy to examine each of the half reactions involving substrate amine oxidation (reductive half reaction, eq 1) and dioxygen reduction (oxidative half reaction, eq 2):
