EUROPEAN BIOPHYSICS JOURNAL : EBJ 2017; 47:205-223.

Abstract
NADH peroxidase (Npx) and mercuric ion reductase (MerA) are flavoproteins belonging to the pyridine nucleotide:disulfide oxidoreductases (PNDO) and catalyzing the reduction of toxic substrates, i.e., hydrogen peroxide and mercuric ion, respectively. To determine the role of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in the detoxification mechanism, the resonance Raman (RR) spectra of these enzymes under various redox and ligation states have been investigated using blue and/or near-UV excitation(s). These data were compared to those previously obtained for glutathione reductase (GR), another enzyme of the PNDO family, but catalyzing the reduction of oxidized glutathione. Spectral differences have been detected for the marker bands of the isoalloxazine ring of Npx, MerA, and GR. They provide evidence for different catalytic mechanisms in these flavoproteins. The RR modes of the oxidized and two-electron reduced (EH2) forms of Npx are related to very tight flavin-protein interactions maintaining a nearly planar conformation of the isoalloxazine tricycle, a low level of H-bonding at the N1/N5 and O2/O4 sites, and a strong H-bond at N3H. They also indicate minimal changes in FAD structure and environment upon either NAD(H) binding or reduction of the sulfinic redox center. All these spectroscopic data support an enzyme functioning centered on the Cys-SO-/Cys-S- redox moiety and a neighbouring His residue. On the contrary, the RR data on various functional forms of MerA are indicative of a modulation of both ring II distortion and H-bonding states of the N5 site and ring III. The Cd(II) binding to the EH2-NADP(H) complexes, biomimetic intermediates in the reaction of Hg(II) reduction, provokes important spectral changes. They are interpreted in terms of flattening of the isoalloxazine ring and large decreases in H-bonding at the N5 site and ring III. The large flexibility of the FAD structure and environment in MerA is in agreement with proposed mechanisms involving C4a(flavin) adducts.

Abstract
The reduction and oxidation of the flavin system is an important electron transfer reaction in biological systems. Several reaction pathways exist to connect oxidized to fully reduced riboflavin, each with unique intermediates including a semi-quinone radical. By performing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with simultaneous electrochemical detection of riboflavin at different pH values, we are able to correlate reversible changes in spectral features to the current changes observed in the cyclic voltammetry. Multivariate curve resolution analysis of the SERS spectra indicates that three distinct components were present at the SERS electrode at each pH during the potential sweep. To verify and better understand the variations in Raman bands across the voltammogram, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to model the effect of pH and oxidation state on the riboflavin Raman spectrum. The calculated spectra show qualitative agreement with the species identified in the chemometric analysis. This combination of results indicates the presence of the oxidized, semi-quinone, and reduced forms of riboflavin and provides insight into the mechanism of the flavin redox system.

Abstract
Flavin is a general name given to molecules having the heteroaromatic ring system of 7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine but practically means riboflavin (Rfl), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) in biological systems, whose structures are illustrated in Fig. 1, together with the atomic numbering scheme and ring numbering of the isoalloxazine moiety. As the isoalloxazine skeleton cannot be synthesized in human cells, it is obtained from diet as Rfl (vitamin B2). FAD and FMN can act as cofactors in flavoenzymes but Rfl does not. Most flavoenzymes catalyze redox reactions of substrates (Miura, Chem Rec 1:183-194, 2001). When O2 serves as the oxidant in the oxidation half cycle of an enzymic reaction, the enzyme is called "flavo-oxidase" but when others do, the enzyme is called "flavo-dehydrogenase." The difference between the two types of oxidative catalysis arises from delicate differences in the π-electron distributions in the isoalloxazine ring, which can be revealed by Raman spectroscopy (Miura, Chem Rec 1:183-194, 2001). Since a flavin is an extremely versatile molecule, the scientific field including chemistry, biochemistry, and enzymology is collectively called "flavonology." It was found recently, however, that the flavin also acts as a chromophore to initiate light-induced DNA repair and signal transductions (Sancar, Chem Rev 103:2203-2237, 2003).

Abstract
BLUF (blue light sensing using FAD) domains constitute a recently discovered class of photoreceptor proteins found in bacteria and eukaryotic algae, where they control a range of physiological responses including photosynthesis gene expression, photophobia, and negative phototaxis. Other than in well known photoreceptors such as the rhodopsins and phytochromes, BLUF domains are sensitive to light through an oxidized flavin rather than an isomerizable cofactor. To understand the physicochemical basis of BLUF domain photoactivation, we have applied femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to the Slr1694 BLUF domain of Synechocystis PCC6803. We show that photoactivation of BLUF domains proceeds by means of a radical-pair mechanism, driven by electron and proton transfer from the protein to the flavin, resulting in the transient formation of anionic and neutral flavin radical species that finally result in the long-lived signaling state on a 100-ps timescale. A pronounced deuteration effect is observed on the lifetimes of the intermediate radical species, indicating that proton movements underlie their molecular transformations. We propose a photoactivation mechanism that involves a successive rupture of hydrogen bonds between a conserved tyrosine and glutamine by light-induced electron transfer from tyrosine to flavin and between the glutamine and flavin by subsequent protonation at flavin N5. These events allow a reorientation of the conserved glutamine, resulting in a switching of the hydrogen-bond network connecting the chromophore to the protein, followed by radical-pair recombination, which locks the glutamine in place. It is suggested that the redox potential of flavin generally defines the light sensitivity of flavin-binding photoreceptors.

Abstract
Nikkomycin antibiotics are potent inhibitors of chitin synthase, effective as therapeutic antifungal agents in humans and easily degradable insecticides in agriculture. NikD is a novel flavoprotein that catalyzes the oxidation of Delta(1)- or Delta(2)-piperideine-2-carboxylate, a key step in the biosynthesis of nikkomycin antibiotics. The resulting dihydropicolinate product may be further oxidized by nikD or converted to picolinate in a nonenzymic reaction. Saturated nitrogen heterocycles (L-pipecolate, L-proline) and 3,4-dehydro-L-proline act as alternate substrates. The ability of nikD to oxidize 3,4-dehydro-L-proline, but not 1-cyclohexenoate, suggests that the enzyme is specific for the oxidation of a carbon-nitrogen bond. An equivalent reaction is possible with the enamine (Delta(2)), but not the imine (Delta(1)), form of the natural piperideine-2-carboxylate substrate. Apparent steady-state kinetic parameters for the reaction of nikD with Delta(1)- or Delta(2)-piperideine-2-carboxylate (k(cat) = 64 min(-1); K(m) = 5.2 microM) or 3,4-dehydro-L-proline (k(cat) = 18 min(-1); K(m) = 13 mM) were determined in air-saturated buffer by measuring hydrogen peroxide formation in a coupled assay. NikD appears to be a new member of the monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX) family of amine oxidizing enzymes. The enzyme contains 1 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) covalently linked to Cys321. The covalent flavin attachment site and two residues that bind substrate carboxylate in MSOX are conserved in nikD. NikD, however, exhibits an unusual long-wavelength absorption band, attributed to charge-transfer interaction between FAD and an ionizable (pK(a) = 7.3) active-site residue. Similar long-wavelength absorption bands have been observed for flavoproteins containing an active site cysteine or cysteine sulfenic acid. Interestingly, Cys273 in nikD aligns with an active-site histidine in MSOX (His269) that is, otherwise, a highly conserved residue within the MSOX family.
