Uteroferrin, the purple acid phosphatase from porcine uterine fluid, is noncompetitively inhibited by vanadate in a time-dependent manner under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This time-dependent inhibition is observed only with the diiron enzyme and is absent when the FeZn enzyme is used. The observations are attributed to the sequential formation of two uteroferrin-vanadium complexes. The first complex forms rapidly and reversibly, while the second complex forms slowly and results in the production of catalytically inactive oxidized uteroferrin and V(IV), which is observed by EPR. The redox reaction can be reversed by treatment of the oxidized enzyme first with (V(1V)) …

Hydrolases containing two metal ions connected by a bridging ligand catalyze reactions important in carcinogensis, tissue repair, post-translational modification, control and regulation of biochemical pathways, and protein degradation. The aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica serves as a paradigm for the study of such bridged bimetallic proteases since its three-dimensional structure is known to very high resolution and its catalytic reaction is amenable to spectroscopic examination. Herein, we report the X-ray crystal structure at 1.9 Å resolution of AAP complexed with 1-butaneboronic acid (BuBA). This structure suggests that this complex represents a snapshot of the proteolytic reaction in an arrested form between …
