Peptidylglycine monooxygenase (PGM) is a copper-containing monooxygenase that plays a key role in the peptide C-terminal alpha-amidation. Comparative analysis of the amino acid sequences of rat, human, bovine and frog PGMs revealed that ten histidines (residues 107, 108, 172, 235, 242, 244, 279, 364, 366 and 367 in rat PGM) are conserved among the four species. We introduced site-directed mutations to the ten histidines of rat PGM and found that the mutation of His- 107-->Ala, His-108-->Ala, His-172-->Ala, His-242-->Arg or His-244-->Ala abolished the enzyme activity. The five mutant proteins lacking the enzyme activity bound to a substrate, Phe-Gly-Phe-Gly, as did the wild type PGM. These results along with available evidence indicate that the five histidine residues (His-107, 108, 172, 242 and 244) are essential for PGM activity, acting as copper ligands.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
