We recently showed that the class Ic ribonucleotide reductase from the human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis uses a Mn-IV/Fe-III cofactor to generate protein and substrate radicals in its catalytic mechanism [Jiang, W., Yun, D., Saleh, L., Barr, E. W., Xing, G., Hoffart, L. M., Maslak, M.-A., Krebs, C., and Bollinger, J. M., Jr. (2007) Science 316, 1188-1191]. Here, we have dissected the mechanism of formation of this novel heterobinuclear redox cofactor from the Mn-II/Fe-II cluster and O-2. An intermediate with a g = 2 EPR signal that shows hyperfine coupling to both Mn-55 and Fe-57 accumulates almost quantitatively in a second-order reaction between O-2 and the reduced R2 complex. The otherwise slow decay of the intermediate to the active Mn-IV/Fe-III-R2 complex is accelerated by the presence of the one-electron reductant, ascorbate, implying that the intermediate is more oxidized than Mn-IV/Fe-III. Mossbauer spectra show that the intermediate contains a high-spin Fe-IV center. Its chemical and spectroscopic properties establish that the intermediate is a Mn-IV/Fe-IV-R2 complex with an S = (1)/(2) electronic ground state arising from antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mn-IV (S-Mn = (3)/(2)) and high-spin Fe-IV (S-Fe = 2) sites.
