2-oxoglutarate + O2 = ethene + 3 CO2 + H2O
Pseudomonas syringae ethylene-forming enzyme reveal a branched mechanism. In one branch, an apparently typical 2-oxoglutarate oxygenase reaction to give succinate, carbon dioxide, and sometimes pyrroline-5-carboxylate occurs, reaction of EC 1.13.11.34. Alternatively, Grob-type oxidative fragmentation of a 2-oxoglutarate-derived intermediate occurs to give ethylene and carbon dioxide, EC 1.13.12.19. Fragmentation to give ethylene is promoted by binding of L-arginine in a nonoxidized conformation and of 2-oxoglutarate in an unprecedented high-energy conformation that favors ethylene, relative to succinate formation. Induced fit reaction mechanism, detailed overview

in the other reaction [EC 1.14.20.7, 2-oxoglutarate/L-arginine monooxygenase/decarboxylase (succinate-forming)] the enzyme catalyses the mono-oxygenation of both 2-oxoglutarate and L-arginine, forming succinate, carbon dioxide and L-hydroxyarginine, which is subsequently cleaved into guanidine and (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate.

in the other reaction [EC 1.14.20.7, 2-oxoglutarate/L-arginine monooxygenase/decarboxylase (succinate-forming)] the enzyme catalyses the mono-oxygenation of both 2-oxoglutarate and L-arginine, forming succinate, carbon dioxide and L-hydroxyarginine, which is subsequently cleaved into guanidine and (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. The reaction mechanism of the enzyme (EFE) is studied with QM/MM methods. Based on the results, a branched pathway for the enzyme that can lead either to ethylene or to succinate via L-Arg hydroxylation is proposed. After formation of the Fe-O2 species, the nucleophilic attack of distal oxygen on the keto carbon of 2-oxoglutarate is accompanied by the breaking of the C1-C2 bond in 2-oxoglutarate, leading to an FeII-peroxysuccinate complex with a dissociated CO2. This FeII-peroxysuccinate species serves as the branch point intermediate in the dual transformations by EFE. It can proceed in two directions. In one branch, the subsequent O-O bond cleavage generates the succinate-bound FeIV-oxo intermediate. Next a nearby water molecule binds to the iron to form a hexacoordinated FeIV-oxo intermediate. Hydrogen atom abstraction from L-Arg, hydroxyl radical rebound, and elimination of guanidine from the hydroxylated L-Arg product complete the cycle. This represents the well-established mechanism for substrate oxidation by Fe/2OG oxygenases. Alternatively, starting from FeII-peroxysuccinate, the CO2 insertion into the Fe-O bond gives a peroxic anhydride species. Further steps, including the water binding, O-O bond cleavage, intermolecular proton transfer, and two consecutive C-C bond breaking steps, result in the formation of ethylene. According to the proposed reaction mechanism of EFE, a competition between the CO2 insertion and the O-O bond cleavage from the branch point intermediate governs the product selectivity. The calculated reaction barriers show a preference for the CO2 insertion reaction

enzyme catalyzes the formation of ethylene and succinate from 2-oxoglutarate, at a molar ratio of 2:l, reactions of EC 1.13.12.19 and EC 1.14.11.34. In the main reaction, 2-oxoglutarate is dioxygenated to produce one molecule of ethylene and three molecules of carbon dioxide. In the sub-reaction, both 2-oxoglutarate and L-arginine are mono-oxygenated to yield succinate plus carbon dioxide and L-hydroxyarginine, respectively, the latter being further transformed to guanidine and L-delta-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. Dual-circuit mechanism for the entire reaction is proposed, in which the binding of L-arginine and 2-oxoglutarate in a Schiff-base structure generates a common intermediate for two reactions
