  • Acetylene hydratase (EC 4.2.1.112, AH) is a bacterial enzyme, originally discovered in the anaerobic microorganism Pelobactor acetylenicus, that catalyzes the non-redox hydration of acetylene to form acetaldehyde. C2H2 + H2O → CH3CHO The mechanism is thought to involve attachment of acetylene to the metal followed by nucleophilic attack of water. Because acetylene binding to the Mo in nitrogenase lends some support that the mechanism involves a Mo→CH2=CH2 bond. Acetylene inhibits several microbial transformations where it interacts with the active site of the metal-dependent enzymes including hydrogenase and nitrogenase. This enzyme relies on tungsten as the metal center and is the heaviest metal that plays a prominent part in the nitrogen, sulfur and carbon metabolic processes. The [4Fe-4S] cubane keeps the W in the reduced W(IV) state, the most stable reduced oxidation state, while W(VI) is the other stable oxidation state (2nd and 3rd row transition metals are usually most stable in their highest oxidation state). Mo and W enzymes ubiquitously involve W(IV)/W(VI) in the catalysis, however AH is very unique since the tungstoenzyme stays as W(IV) in the catalysis. The tungstoenzyme stays as W(IV) throughout the catalysis because the enzyme catalyzes a non-redox reaction described as the hydration of acetylene to acetaldehyde. The active site tungsten has a distorted octahedral geometry that is coordinated by molybdopterin co-factors along with a cysteine residue coordinated by a water molecule as the sixth ligand. The active site residues are Asp13, Cys12, Trp179, Arg606, Met140 and Ile142. Asp13 plays an important role in assisting the catalysis where the active site residue deprotonates the water hydroxide making it a better nucleophile. (en)
  • Une acétylène hydratase est une lyase qui catalyse la réaction : CH3CHO HC≡CH + H2O. Cette enzyme intervient dans la dégradation du perchloroéthylène Cl2C=CCl2. C'est l'un des rares exemples de métalloprotéines à tungstène. Le centre W est lié à deux cofacteurs de molybdoptérine. On pense que le mécanisme réactionnel implique une liaison de l'acétylène au métal suivie d'une attaque nucléophile de l'eau. (fr)
