The interaction of the monooxygenating type-3 copper enzyme Tyrosinase (Ty) from Streptomyces antibioticus with its inhibitor p-nitrophenol (pnp) was studied by paramagnetic NMR methods. The pnp binds to oxidized Ty (Ty(met)) and its halide (F-, Cl-) bound derivatives with a dissociation constant in the mM range. The Cu-2 bridging halide ion is not displaced upon the binding of pnp showing that the pnp does not occupy the Cu-2 bridging position. The binding of pnp to Ty(met) or Ty(met)Cl leads to localized changes in the type-3 (Cu-His(3))(2) coordination geometry reflecting a change in the coordination of a single His residue that, still, remains coordinated to Cu. The binding of pnp to Ty(met)Cl causes a decrease in the Cu-2 magnetic exchange parameter -2J from 200 cm(-1) in the absence to 150 +/- 10 cm(-1) in the presence of pnp. From the H-1 and D-2 NMR relaxation parameters of pnp bound to Ty(met), a structural model of pnp coordination to the Ty type-3 center could be derived. The model explains the absence of hydroxylase activity in the closely related type-3 copper protein catechol oxidase. The relevance of the experimental findings toward the Ty catalytic mechanism is discussed.
