The catalytic activity of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) toward bulky substrates, including anthraquinone dyes, phenolic lignin model compounds, or 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), is in strong contrast to their sterically restrictive active site. In two of the three known subfamilies (A- and C/D-type DyPs), catalytic protein radicals at surface-exposed sites, which are connected to the heme cofactor by electron transfer path(s), have been identified. So far in B-type DyPs, there has been no evidence for protein radical formation after activation by hydrogen peroxide. Interestingly, B-type Klebsiella pneumoniae dye-decolorizing peroxidase ( Kp DyP) displays a persistent organic radical in the resting state composed of two species that can be distinguished by W-band electron spin echo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Here, on the basis of a comprehensive mutational and EPR study of computationally predicted tyrosine and tryptophan variants of Kp DyP, we demonstrate the formation of tyrosyl radicals (Y247 and Y92) and a radical-stabilizing Y-W dyad between Y247 and W18 in Kp DyP, which are unique to enterobacterial B-type DyPs. Y247 is connected to Y92 by a hydrogen bonding network, is solvent accessible in simulations, and is involved in ABTS oxidation. This suggests the existence of long-range electron path(s) in B-type DyPs. The mechanistic and physiological relevance of the reaction mechanism of B-type DyPs is discussed.
