2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + O2 = hydroxymethylphosphonate + formate
the reaction proceeds via a transient iron(IV)-oxo (ferryl) complex, a mechanism that involves activation of an O-H bond by the ferryl complex is proposed. The isotope-sensitive C-H-cleavage step is not primarily rate-limiting for the overall catalytic cycle. The reaction does exhibit a significant 2H-kinetic isotope effect on kcat/Km for O2, which implies reversible formation of the C-H-cleaving intermediate

catalytic cycle is based on concatenated bifurcations. The first bifurcation is based on the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from the substrate, which leads to a distal or proximal hydroperoxo species Fe-OOH or Fe-(OH)O. The second and the third bifurcations refer to the carbon-carbon bond cleavage reaction achieved through a tridentate intermediate, or employing a proton-shuttle assisted mechanism, in which the residue Glu176 or the FeIV O group serves as a general base. The reaction directions seem to be tunable and show significant environment dependence

2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + O2

in the reaction mechanism water molecules serve as an oxygen source in the generation of mononuclear nonheme iron oxo complexes, taking part in the catalytic cycle before the carbon-carbon bond cleavage process. After the dioxygen is bound to the iron center, the dioxygen-bound species Fe-O2 is generated. The abstraction of hydrogen atom from the substrate leads to a distal or proximal hydroperoxo species Fe(III)-OOH. This is the rate-limiting step, which has an energy barrier of 21 and 18 kcal/mol for distal and proximal H-abstraction processes, respectively. The second step is the cleavage of the O-O bond, and the carbon-carbon bond is broken subsequently. In this step, a tridentate binding species and a Fe(IV) sigmaO species are important intermediates to break the carbon-carbon bond. In the third step, the formic acid and the intermediate CH2PO2(OH)- radical are generated. Finally, 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate is converted to hydroxymethylphosphonate, and the formate or formic acid is formed

proper binding of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate is important for O2 activation and the enzyme uses a compulsory binding order with 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate binding before O2. In the mechanism, a hydroperoxylation process is followed by a Criegee rearrangement and hydrolysis to form hydroxymethylphosphonate. Thereafter, the P-C bond in the product can be transiently broken, generating phosphite and formaldehyde in the active site of the enzyme. If the formaldehyde is able to rotate along the C=O bond, then phosphite can attack either face of the carbonyl group resulting in a loss of stereochemistry

reaction starts with H-abstraction from the C2 position of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate by a ferric superoxide-type intermediate. The resultant Fe(II)-OOH intermediate may follow either a hydroperoxylation or hydroxylation pathway, the former process being energetically more favorable. In the hydroperoxylation pathway, a ferrous-alkylhydroperoxo intermediate is formed, and then its O-O bond is homolytically cleaved to yield a complex of ferric hydroxide with a gem-diol radical. Subsequent C-C bond cleavage within the gem-diol leads to formation of an R-CH2 radical species and one of the two products, i.e., formic acid. The R-CH2 radical then intramolecularly forms a C-O bond with the ferric hydroxide to provide the other product, hydroxymethylphosphonate. The overall reaction pathway requires ferric superoxide and ferric hydroxide intermediates

results provide strong support for a mechanism that proceeds by hydroperoxylation followed by a Criegee rearrangement with a phosphorus-based migrating group and requires that the O-O bond of molecular oxygen is not cleaved prior to substrate activation.

2-hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase (HEPD) and methylphosphonate synthase (MPnS) are non-heme iron oxygenases that both catalyze the carbon-carbon bond cleavage of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate but generate different products. Both HEPD and MPnS generate a methylphosphonate radical. Substrate labeling experiments lead to a mechanistic hypothesis in which the fate of a common intermediate determines product identity, overview. Primary sequences and homology modeling suggest that the architectures of the active sites of HEPD and MPnS are similar

one group of mononuclear non-heme iron-dependent enzymes includes 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase (HEPD) and methylphosphonate synthase (MPnS, EC 1.13.11.73) that both carry out the oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate but generate different products. Common properties include the initial substrate oxidation by a ferric-superoxo-intermediate and a second oxidation by a ferryl species. Sequence homology between HEPD and MPnS combined with identical requirements for catalysis suggests a consensus mechanism in which product identity is determined by branching at an intermediate in the catalytic cycle

site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant is bifunctional exhibiting the activity of both 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase (HEPD) and methylphosphonate synthase (MPnS, EC 1.13.11.73). The product distribution of the mutant is sensitive to a substrate isotope effect, consistent with an isotope-sensitive branching mechanism involving a common intermediate. The introduced histidine does not coordinate the active site metal, unlike the iron-binding glutamate it replaces. More HEPD activity is observed when the reaction is carried out with (R)-2-[2-2H1]-hydroxyethylphosphonate
