The metalloenzyme soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) consists of hydroxylase (sMMOH), regulatory (MMOB), and reductase components. When sMMOH forms a complex with MMOB, the rate constants are greatly increased for the sequential access of O-2, protons, and CH4 to an oxygenbridged diferrous metal cluster located in the buried active site. Here, we report high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of the diferric and diferrous states of both sMMOH and the sMMOH:MMOB complex using the components from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. These structures are analyzed for O-2 access routes enhanced when the complex forms. Previously reported, lower-resolution structures of the sMMOH:MMOB complex from the sMMO of Methylococcus capsulatus Bath revealed a series of cavities through sMMOH postulated to serve as the O-2 conduit. This potential role is evaluated in greater detail using the current structures. Additionally, a search for other potential O(2)conduits in the M. trichosporium OB3b sMMOH:MMOB complex revealed a narrow molecular tunnel, termed the W308-tunnel. This tunnel is sized appropriately for O-2 and traverses the sMMOH-MMOB interface before accessing the active site. The kinetics of reaction of O-2 with the diferrous sMMOH:MMOB complex in solution show that use of the MMOB V41R variant decreases the rate constant for O-2 binding >25000-fold without altering the component affinity. The location of Va141 near the entrance to the W308-tunnel is consistent with the tunnel serving as the primary route for the transfer of O-2 into the active site. Accordingly, the crystal structures show that formation of the diferrous sMMOH:MMOB complex restricts access through the chain of cavities while opening the W308-tunnel.
