what proteins serve as binders for iron copper and zinc
Metalloprotein - Wikipedia Metalloprotein Jump to : navigation , search The structure of hemoglobin . The heme cofactor , containing the metal iron , shown in green . Metalloprotein is a generic term for a protein that contains a metal ion cofactor . A large number of all proteins are part of this category . For instance , at least 1000 human proteins ( out of ~ 20,000 ) contain zinc - binding protein domains although there may be up to 3000 human zinc metalloproteins .

In another estimate , about one quarter to one third of all proteins are proposed to require metals to carry out their functions . Thus , metalloproteins have many different functions in cells , such as storage and transport of proteins , enzymes and signal transduction proteins , or infectious diseases . Most metals in the human body are probably bound to proteins . For instance , the relatively high concentration of iron in the human body is mostly due to the iron in hemoglobin .

These donor groups are often provided by side - chains on the amino acid residues . Especially important are the imidazole substituent in histidine residues , thiolate substituents in cysteine residues , and carboxylate groups provided by aspartate . Given the diversity of the metallo proteome , virtually all amino acid residues have been shown to bind metal centers . The peptide backbone also provides donor groups ; these include deprotonated amides and the amide carbonyl oxygen centers . Lead ( II ) binding in natural and artificial proteins has been reviewed . In addition to donor groups that are provided by amino acid residues , a large number of organic cofactors function as ligands . Perhaps most famous are the tetradentate N macrocyclic ligands incorporated into the heme protein . Inorganic ligands such as sulfide and oxide are also common . Storage and transport metalloproteins ( edit ) These are the second stage product of protein hydrolysis obtained by treatment with slightly stronger acids and alkalies . Oxygen carriers ( edit ) Hemoglobin , which is the principal oxygen - carrier in humans , has four subunits in which the iron ( II ) ion is coordinated by the planar macrocyclic ligand protoporphyrin IX ( PIX ) and the imidazole nitrogen atom of a histidine residue . The sixth coordination site contains a water molecule or a dioxygen molecule . By contrast the protein myoglobin , found in muscle cells , has only one such unit . The active site is located in an hydrophobic pocket . This is important as without it the iron ( II ) would be irreversibly oxidized to iron ( III ) . The equilibrium constant for the formation of HbO is such that oxygen is taken up or released depending on the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs or in muscle . In hemoglobin the four subunits show a cooperativity effect that allows for easy oxygen transfer from hemoglobin to myoglobin . In both hemoglobin and myoglobin it is sometimes incorrectly stated that the oxygenated species contains iron ( III ) . It is now known that the diamagnetic nature of these species is because the iron ( II ) atom is in the low - spin state . In oxyhemoglobin the iron atom is located in the plane of the porphyrin ring , but in the paramagnetic deoxyhemoglobin the iron atom lies above the plane of the ring . This change in spin state is a cooperative effect due to the higher crystal field splitting and smaller ionic radius of Fe in the oxyhemoglobin moiety . Hemerythrin is another iron - containing oxygen carrier . The oxygen binding site is a binuclear iron center . The iron atoms are coordinated to the protein through the carboxylate side chains of a glutamate and aspartate and five histidine residues . The uptake of O by hemerythrin is accompanied by two - electron oxidation of the reduced binuclear center to produce bound peroxide ( OOH ) . The mechanism of oxygen uptake and release have been worked out in detail . Hemocyanins carry oxygen in the blood of most mollusks , and some arthropods such as the horseshoe crab . They are second only to hemoglobin in biological popularity of use in oxygen transport . On oxygenation the two copper ( I ) atoms at the active site are oxidized to copper ( II ) and the dioxygen molecules are reduced to peroxide , O . Chlorocruorin ( as the larger carrier erythrocruorin ) is an oxygen - binding hemeprotein present in the blood plasma of many annelids , particularly certain marine polychaetes . Cytochromes ( edit ) Main article : cytochrome Oxidation and reduction reactions are not common in organic chemistry as few organic molecules can act as oxidizing or reducing agents . Iron ( II ) , on the other hand , can easily be oxidized to iron ( III ) . This functionality is used in cytochromes , which function as electron - transfer vectors . The presence of the metal ion allows metalloenzymes to perform functions such as redox reactions that can not easily be performed by the limited set of functional groups found in amino acids . The iron atom in most cytochromes is contained in a heme group . The differences between those cytochromes lies in the different side - chains . For instance cytochrome a has a heme a prosthetic group and cytochrome b has a heme b prosthetic group . These differences result in different Fe / Fe redox potentials such that various cytochromes are involved in the mitochondrial electron transport chain . Cytochrome P450 enzymes perform the function of inserting an oxygen atom into a C − H bond , an oxidation reaction . Rubredoxin active site . Rubredoxin ( edit ) Main article : Iron -- sulfur protein Rubredoxin is an electron - carrier found in sulfur - metabolizing bacteria and archaea . The active site contains an iron ion coordinated by the sulfur atoms of four cysteine residues forming an almost regular tetrahedron . Rubredoxins perform one - electron transfer processes . The oxidation state of the iron atom changes between the + 2 and + 3 states . In both oxidation states the metal is high spin , which helps to minimize structural changes . Plastocyanin ( edit ) Main article : Plastocyanin The copper site in plastocyanin Plastocyanin is one of the family of blue copper proteins that are involved in electron transfer reactions . The copper - binding site is described as distorted trigonal pyramidal . The trigonal plane of the pyramidal base is composed of two nitrogen atoms ( N and N ) from separate histidines and a sulfur ( S ) from a cysteine . Sulfur ( S ) from an axial methionine forms the apex . The distortion occurs in the bond lengths between the copper and sulfur ligands . The Cu − S contact is shorter ( 207 pm ) than Cu − S ( 282 pm ) . The elongated Cu − S bonding destabilizes the Cu ( II ) form and increases the redox potential of the protein . The blue color ( 597 nm peak absorption ) is due to the Cu − S bond where S ( pπ ) to Cu ( d ) charge transfer occurs . In the reduced form of plastocyanin , His - 87 will become protonated with a pK of 4.4 . Protonation prevents it acting as a ligand and the copper site geometry becomes trigonal planar . Metal - ion storage and transfer ( edit ) Iron ( edit ) Iron is stored as iron ( III ) in ferritin . The exact nature of the binding site has not yet been determined . The iron appears to be present as a hydrolysis product such as FeO ( OH ) . Iron is transported by transferrin whose binding site consists of two tyrosines , one aspartic acid and one histidine . The human body has no mechanism for iron excretion . This can lead to iron overload problems in patients treated with blood transfusions , as , for instance , with β - thalassemia . Iron is actually excreted in urine and is also concentrated in bile which is excreted in feces . Copper ( edit ) Main article : Ceruloplasmin Ceruloplasmin is the major copper - carrying protein in the blood . Ceruloplasmin exhibits oxidase activity , which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe ( II ) into Fe ( III ) , therefore assisting in its transport in the blood plasma in association with transferrin , which can carry iron only in the Fe ( III ) state . Calcium ( edit ) Main article : Osteopontin Osteopontin is involved in mineralization in the extracellular matrices of bones and teeth . Metalloenzymes ( edit ) Metalloenzymes all have one feature in common , namely that the metal ion is bound to the protein with one labile coordination site . As with all enzymes , the shape of the active site is crucial . The metal ion is usually located in a pocket whose shape fits the substrate . The metal ion catalyzes reactions that are difficult to achieve in organic chemistry . Carbonic anhydrase ( edit ) Active site of carbonic anhydrase . The three coordinating histidine residues are shown in green , hydroxide in red and white , and the zinc in gray . In aqueous solution , carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid CO + H O ⇌ H CO This reaction is very slow in the absence of a catalyst , but quite fast in the presence of the hydroxide ion CO + OH ⇌ HCO A reaction similar to this is almost instantaneous with carbonic anhydrase . The structure of the active site in carbonic anhydrases is well - known from a number of crystal structures . It consists of a zinc ion coordinated by three imidazole nitrogen atoms from three histidine units . The fourth coordination site is occupied by a water molecule . The coordination sphere of the zinc ion is approximately tetrahedral . The positively - charged zinc ion polarizes the coordinated water molecule , and nucleophilic attack by the negatively - charged hydroxide portion on carbon dioxide ( carbonic anhydride ) proceeds rapidly . The catalytic cycle produces the bicarbonate ion and the hydrogen ion as the equilibrium H CO ⇌ HCO + H favours dissociation of carbonic acid at biological pH values . Vitamin b - dependent enzymes ( edit ) The cobalt - containing Vitamin B ( also known as cobalamin ) catalyzes the transfer of methyl ( − CH ) groups between two molecules , which involves the breaking of C − C bonds , a process that is energetically expensive in organic reactions . The metal ion lowers the activation energy for the process by forming a transient Co − CH bond . The structure of the coenzyme was famously determined by Dorothy Hodgkin and co-workers , for which she received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry . It consists of a cobalt ( II ) ion coordinated to four nitrogen atoms of a corrin ring and a fifth nitrogen atom from an imidazole group . In the resting state there is a Co − C sigma bond with the 5 ′ carbon atom of adenosine . This is a naturally occurring organometallic compound , which explains its function in trans - methylation reactions , such as the reaction carried out by methionine synthase . Nitrogenase ( nitrogen fixation ) ( edit ) The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen is a very energy - intensive process , as it involves breaking the very stable triple bond between the nitrogen atoms . The enzyme nitrogenase is one of the few enzymes that can catalyze the process . The enzyme occurs in Rhizobium bacteria . There are three components to its action : a molybdenum atom at the active site , iron -- sulfur clusters that are involved in transporting the electrons needed to reduce the nitrogen , and an abundant energy source in the form of magnesium ATP . This last is provided by a symbiotic relationship between the bacteria and a host plant , often a legume . The relationship is symbiotic because the plant supplies the energy by photosynthesis and benefits by obtaining the fixed nitrogen . The reaction may be written symbolically as N + 16 Mg ATP + 8 e → 2 NH + 16 Mg ADP + 16 P + H where P stands for inorganic phosphate . The precise structure of the active site has been difficult to determine . It appears to contain a MoFe S cluster that is able to bind the dinitrogen molecule and , presumably , enable the reduction process to begin . The electrons are transported by the associated `` P '' cluster , which contains two cubical Fe S clusters joined by sulfur bridges . Superoxide dismutase ( edit ) Structure of a human superoxide dismutase 2 tetramer The superoxide ion , O is generated in biological systems by reduction of molecular oxygen . It has an unpaired electron , so it behaves as a free radical . It is a powerful oxidizing agent . These properties render the superoxide ion very toxic and are deployed to advantage by phagocytes to kill invading microorganisms . Otherwise , the superoxide ion must be destroyed before it does unwanted damage in a cell . The superoxide dismutase enzymes perform this function very efficiently . The formal oxidation state of the oxygen atoms is − ​ ⁄ . In solutions at neutral pH , the superoxide ion disproportionates to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide . 2 O + 2 H → O + H O In biology this type of reaction is called a dismutation reaction . It involves both oxidation and reduction of superoxide ions . The superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) group of enzymes increase the rate of reaction to near the diffusion - limited rate . The key to the action of these enzymes is a metal ion with variable oxidation state that can act either as an oxidizing agent or as a reducing agent . Oxidation : M + O → M + O Reduction : M + O + 2 H → M + H O . In human SOD the active metal is copper , as Cu ( II ) or Cu ( I ) , coordinated tetrahedrally by four histidine residues . This enzyme also contains zinc ions for stabilization and is activated by copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase ( CCS ) . Other isozymes may contain iron , manganese or nickel . Ni - SOD is particularly interesting as it involves nickel ( III ) , an unusual oxidation state for this element . The active site nickel geometry cycles from square planar Ni ( II ) , with thiolate ( Cys and Cys ) and backbone nitrogen ( His and Cys ) ligands , to square pyramidal Ni ( III ) with an added axial His side chain ligand . Chlorophyll - containing proteins ( edit ) Main articles : chlorophyll and photosystem Hemoglobin and chlorophyll , two extremely different molecules when it comes to function , are amazingly similar when it comes to its atomic shape . There are only three major structural differences ; a magnesium atom ( Mg ) in chlorophyll , which is replaced with iron ( Fe ) in hemoglobin . Additionally , chlorophyll has some extra structures on the bottom right side ( A ) , and an extended hydrocarbon tail on the left ( B ) . These differences cause the chlorophyll molecule to be nonpolar , in contrast to the polar hemoglobin molecule . Chlorophyll plays a crucial role in photosynthesis . It contains a magnesium enclosed in a chlorin ring . However , the magnesium ion is not directly involved in the photosynthetic function and can be replaced by other divalent ions with little loss of activity . Rather , the photon is absorbed by the chlorin ring , whose electronic structure is well - adapted for this purpose . Initially , the absorption of a photon causes an electron to be excited into a singlet state of the Q band . The excited state undergoes an intersystem crossing from the singlet state to a triplet state in which there are two electrons with parallel spin . This species is , in effect , a free radical , and is very reactive and allows an electron to be transferred to acceptors that are adjacent to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast . In the process chlorophyll is oxidized . Later in the photosynthetic cycle , chlorophyll is reduced back again . This reduction ultimately draws electrons from water , yielding molecular oxygen as a final oxidation product . Hydrogenase ( edit ) Main article : Hydrogenase Hydrogenases are subclassified into three different types based on the active site metal content : iron -- iron hydrogenase , nickel -- iron hydrogenase , and iron hydrogenase . All hydrogenases catalyze reversible H uptake , but while the ( FeFe ) and ( NiFe ) hydrogenases are true redox catalysts , driving H oxidation and H reduction H ⇌ 2 H + 2 e the ( Fe ) hydrogenases catalyze the reversible heterolytic cleavage of H . H ⇌ H + H The active site structures of the three types of hydrogenase enzymes . Ribozyme and deoxyribozyme ( edit ) Since discovery of ribozymes by Thomas Cech and Sidney Altman in the early 1980s , ribozymes have been shown to be a distinct class of metalloenzymes . Many ribozymes require metal ions in their active sites for chemical catalysis ; hence they are called metalloenzymes . Additionally , metal ions are essential for structural stabilization of ribozymes . Group I intron is the most studied ribozyme which has three metals participating in catalysis . Other known ribozymes include group II intron , RNase P , and several small viral ribozymes ( such as hammerhead , hairpin , HDV , and VS ) and the large subunit of ribosomes . Recently , four new classes of ribozymes have been discovered ( named twister , twister sister , pistol and hatchet ) which are all self - cleaving ribozymes . Deoxyribozymes , also called DNAzymes or catalytic DNA , are artificial catalytic DNA molecules that were first produced in 1994 and gained a rapid increase of interest since then . Almost all DNAzymes require metal ions in order to function ; thus they are classified as metalloenzymes . Although ribozymes mostly catalyze cleavage of RNA substrates , a variety of reactions can be catalyzed by DNAzymes including RNA / DNA cleavage , RNA / DNA ligation , amino acid phosphorylation and dephosphorylation , and carbon -- carbon bond formation . Yet , DNAzymes that catalyze RNA cleavage reaction are the most extensively explored ones . 10 - 23 DNAzyme , discovered in 1997 , is one of the most studied catalytic DNAs with clinical applications as a therapeutic agent . Several metal - specific DNAzymes have been reported including the GR - 5 DNAzyme ( lead - specific ) , the CA1 - 3 DNAzymes ( copper - specific ) , the 39E DNAzyme ( uranyl - specific ) and the NaA43 DNAzyme ( sodium - specific ) . Signal - transduction metalloproteins ( edit ) Calmodulin ( edit ) EF - hand motif Calmodulin is an example of a signal - transduction protein . It is a small protein that contains four EF - hand motifs , each of which is able to bind a Ca ion . In an EF - hand loop the calcium ion is coordinated in a pentagonal bipyramidal configuration . Six glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues involved in the binding are in positions 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 and 9 of the polypeptide chain . At position 12 , there is a glutamate or aspartate ligand that behaves as a ( bidentate ligand ) , providing two oxygen atoms . The ninth residue in the loop is necessarily glycine due to the conformational requirements of the backbone . The coordination sphere of the calcium ion contains only carboxylate oxygen atoms and no nitrogen atoms . This is consistent with the hard nature of the calcium ion . The protein has two approximately symmetrical domains , separated by a flexible `` hinge '' region . Binding of calcium causes a conformational change to occur in the protein . Calmodulin participates in an intracellular signaling system by acting as a diffusible second messenger to the initial stimuli . Troponin ( edit ) In both cardiac and skeletal muscles , muscular force production is controlled primarily by changes in the intracellular calcium concentration . In general , when calcium rises , the muscles contract and , when calcium falls , the muscles relax . Troponin , along with actin and tropomyosin , is the protein complex to which calcium binds to trigger the production of muscular force . Transcription factors ( edit ) Zinc finger . The zinc ion ( green ) is coordinated by two histidine residues and two cysteine residues . Many transcription factors contain a structure known as a zinc finger , this is a structural module where a region of protein folds around a zinc ion . The zinc does not directly contact the DNA that these proteins bind to . Instead , the cofactor is essential for the stability of the tightly - folded protein chain . In these proteins , the zinc ion is usually coordinated by pairs of cysteine and histidine side - chains . Other metalloenzymes ( edit ) There are two types of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase : one contains copper and molybdenum , the other contains nickel and iron . Parallels and differences in catalytic strategies have been reviewed . Pb ( lead ) can replace Ca ( calcium ) as , for example , with calmodulin or Zn ( zinc ) as with metallocarboxypeptidases Some other metalloenzymes are given in the following table , according to the metal involved . Ion Examples of enzymes containing this ion Magnesium Glucose 6 - phosphatase Hexokinase DNA polymerase Vanadium vanabins Manganese Arginase Oxygen - evolving complex Iron Catalase Hydrogenase IRE - BP Aconitase Cobalt Nitrile hydratase Methionyl aminopeptidase Methylmalonyl - CoA mutase Isobutyryl - CoA mutase Nickel Urease Hydrogenase Methyl - coenzyme M reductase ( MCR ) Copper Cytochrome oxidase Laccase Nitrous - oxide reductase Nitrite reductase Zinc Alcohol dehydrogenase Carboxypeptidase Aminopeptidase Beta amyloid Cadmium Metallothionein Thiolate proteins Molybdenum Nitrate reductase Sulfite oxidase Xanthine oxidase DMSO reductase Tungsten Acetylene hydratase various Metallothionein Phosphatase See also ( edit ) Bioinorganic chemistry Evolution of metal ions in biological systems Biometal Coenzyme Dioxygenase Hemoproteins Metalloproteinase Deoxyribozyme Siderophore Prosthetic group QPNC - PAGE References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Banci L ( 2013 ) .
