Mutation studies were performed on active-site residues of vanadium chloroperoxidase from the fungus Curvularia inaequalis, an enzyme which exhibits both haloperoxidase and phosphatase activity and is related to glucose-6-phosphatase. The effects of mutation to alanine on haloperoxidase activity were studied for the proposed catalytic residue His-404 and for residue Asp-292, which is located close to the vanadate cofactor. The mutants were strongly impaired in their ability to oxidize chloride but still oxidized bromide, although they inactivate during turnover. The effects on the optical absorption spectrum of vanadium chloroperoxidase indicate that mutant H404A has a reduced affinity for the cofactor, whereas this affinity is unchanged in mutant D292A. The effect on the phosphatase activity of the apoenzyme was investigated for six mutants of putative catalytic residues. Effects of mutation of His-496, Arg-490, Arg-360, Lys-353, and His-404 to alanine are in line with their proposed roles in nucleophilic attack, transition-state stabilization, and leaving-group protonation. Asp-292 is excluded as the group that protonates the leaving group. A model based on the mutagenesis studies is presented and may serve as a template for glucose-6-phosphatase and other related phosphatases. Hydrolysis of a phospho-histidine intermediate is the rate-determining step in the phosphatase activity of apochloroperoxidase, as shown by burst kinetics.

The glucose-6-phosphatase (Glc-6-Pase) family comprises two active endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated isozymes: the liver/kidney/intestine Glc-6-Pase-alpha and the ubiquitous Glc-6-Pase-beta. Both share similar kinetic properties. Sequence alignments predict the two proteins are structurally similar. During glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) hydrolysis, Glc-6-Pase-alpha, a nine-transmembrane domain protein, forms a covalently bound phosphoryl enzyme intermediate through His(176), which lies on the lumenal side of the ER membrane. We showed that Glc-6-Pase-beta is also a nine-transmembrane domain protein that forms a covalently bound phosphoryl enzyme intermediate during Glc-6-P hydrolysis. However, the intermediate was not detectable in Glc-6-Pase-beta active site mutants R79A, H114A, and H167A. Using [(32)P]Glc-6-P coupled with cyanogen bromide mapping, we demonstrated that the phosphate acceptor in Glc-6-Pase-beta is His(167) and that it lies inside the ER lumen with the active site residues, Arg(79) and His(114). Therefore Glc-6-Pase-alpha and Glc-6-Pase-beta share a similar active site structure, topology, and mechanism of action.
