The ferrous form of native cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) is known to undergo a reversible transition when titrated over the pH range of 7.00-9.70. This transition produces a conversion from a pentacoordinate high-spin to a hexacoordinate low-spin heme active site and is clearly apparent in the heme optical absorption spectra. Here, we report the characterization of this transition and its effect upon the local heme environment using various optical spectroscopies. The formation of hexacoordinate low-spin heme is interpreted to involve the binding of His-52 at the distal site after the perturbation of the extensive H-bonded network within and around the heme pocket of CCP(II) at alkaline pH. Interestingly, CD investigations of CCP(II) in the far-UV and Soret regions indicate the dissappearance of a single high-spin species and the existence of at least two low-spin species of CCP(II) as the pH is raised above 7.90. Furthermore, transient resonance Raman experiments demonstrate that the hexacoordinate low-spin species can be photolyzed within 10-ns laser pulses, producing a species similar to the low-pH (high-spin) form of CCP(II) at alkaline pH. However, the extent of photolysis is quite pH dependent, with a maximum photodissociation yield at pH = 8.50. 相似文献

We have collected X-ray diffraction data from a crystal of cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) complexed with the inhibitor nitric oxide to a resolution of 2.55 A. A difference Fourier map shows density indicating the NO ligand is bound to the heme iron at the sixth coordination site in a bent configuration. Structural adjustments were determined by least-squares refinement that yielded an agreement residual of R = 0.18. The orientation of the ligand, tilting toward Arg-48, causes adjustment in the position of this nearby polar side chain. As a model for the substrate hydrogen peroxide, this geometry is consistent with the suggestion that Arg-48 serves to polarize the O-O peroxide bond to promote heterolytic cleavage of the bond [Poulos, T. L., & Kraut, J. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 8199-8205]. Strong difference density is also observed near residues 190-194, especially around the indole ring of Trp-191. The density indicates movement of the indole ring away from the proximal His-175 imidazole ring by about 0.25 A, which appears to cause perturbation of the neighboring residues. The response of Trp-191 on the proximal side of the heme to binding nitric oxide on the distal side probably results from delocalization of the electron density of the ligand. Relevant to this is the recent finding that a mutant in which Trp-191 is replaced by phenylalanine has dramatically reduced activity, less than 0.05% of the parent activity [Mauro, J. M., Fishel, L.

The redox potential of the ferrous/ferric couple in cytochrome c peroxidase has been measured as a function of pH between pH 4.5 and 8. The redox potential decreases linearly as a function of pH between pH 4.5 and 7 with a slope of --57 +/- 2 mV per pH unit. Above pH 7, there is a positive inflection in the midpoint potential versus pH plot attributed to an ionizable group in the ferrous enzyme with pKa of 7.6 +/- 0.1. The midpoint potential at pH 7 is--0.194 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode at 25 degree C. Ferrocytochrome c peroxidase undergoes a reversible spectral transition as a function of pH. Below pH 7, the enzyme has a spectrum typical of high spin ferroheme proteins while above pH 8, the spectrum is typical of low spin ferroheme proteins. The transition is caused by a co-operative, two proton ionization with an apparent pKa of 7.7 +/- 0.2. Two other single proton ionizations cause minor perturbations to the spectrum of ferrocytochrome c peroxidase. One has a pKa of 5.7 +/- 0.2 while the second has a pKa of 9.4 +/- 0.2. 相似文献

A pH titration study of cytochrome c peroxidase and apocytochrome c peroxidase was carried out at 25 degrees C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The net charge on cytochrome c peroxidase due to proton association and dissociation varies from +32 at pH 2 to --50.2 at pH 12, while that of apocytochrome c peroxidase varies between +24.5 at pH 3 to --48 at pH 12. The apoprotein tented to aggregate below pH 3. Between pH 4 and 8, the titration behavior of both the native enzyme and the apoenzyme are consistent with the semi-empirical Linderstr?m-Lang theory. Between pH 9 and 12, the titration behavior of both the holo- and apoproteins suggest they assume a more extended conformation which reduces the electrostatic interaction charged groups on the surface. In the acid region, between pH 4 and 3, a similar transition occurs in which the protein expands 40% based on the electrostatic factor of the Linderstr?m-Lang theory. 相似文献

The nitric oxide complex of ferrous soybean lipoxygenase-1. Substrate, pH, and ethanol effects on the active-site iron 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Soybean lipoxygenase is a non-heme iron enzyme that catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of linoleic acid by dioxygen. Exposure of ferrous lipoxygenase to nitric oxide yields a species displaying an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum characteristic of a nearly axial S = 3/2 electronic spin system arising from the ferrous-nitrosyl complex. That spectrum is pH-sensitive, reflecting changes in the environment of the metal ion between pH 7 and 11. Addition of ethanol abolishes the effects of pH in a saturable fashion, resulting in a spectrum similar to that seen at pH 7. Exchange of lipoxygenase into H2(17)O leads to no significant line broadening in the low field portion of the spectrum, suggesting no coordination of water. The ferrous enzyme displays greater affinity for NO at pH 9 (where the enzyme is most active) than at pH 7. The binding of linoleic acid is competitive with that of NO at pH 9, but not at pH 7. These results are interpreted in terms of a model including only one iron site for exogenous ligands and an otherwise relatively stable iron coordination environment. 相似文献

Apoptosis can be induced by activation of so-called "death receptors" (extrinsic pathway) or multiple apoptotic factors (intrinsic pathway), which leads to release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. This event is considered to be a point of no return in apoptosis. One of the most important events in the development of apoptosis is the enhancement of cytochrome c peroxidase activity upon its interaction with cardiolipin, which modifies the active center of cytochrome c. In the present work, we have investigated the effects of nitric oxide on the cytochrome c peroxidase activity when cytochrome c is bound to cardiolipin or sodium dodecyl sulfate. We have observed that cytochrome c peroxidase activity, distinctly increased due to the presence of anionic lipids, is completely suppressed by nitric oxide. At the same time, nitrosyl complexes of cytochrome c, produced in the interaction with nitric oxide, demonstrated sensitivity to laser irradiation (441 nm) and were photolyzed during irradiation. This decomposition led to partial restoration of cytochrome c peroxidase activity. Finally, we conclude that nitric oxide and laser irradiation may serve as effective instruments for regulating the peroxidase activity of cytochrome c, and, probably, apoptosis. 相似文献

Concentration-dependent effects of nitric oxide on mitochondrial permeability transition and cytochrome c release 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) and associated release of cytochrome c are thought to be important in the apoptotic process. Nitric oxide (NO( small middle dot)) has been reported to inhibit apoptosis by acting on a variety of extra-mitochondrial targets. The relationship between cytochrome c release and PTP opening, and the effects of NO( small middle dot) are not clearly established. Nitric oxide, S-nitrosothiols and peroxynitrite are reported to variously inhibit or promote PTP opening. In this study the effects of NO( small middle dot) on the PTP were characterized by exposing isolated rat liver mitochondria to physiological and pathological rates of NO( small middle dot) released from NONOate NO( small middle dot) donors. Nitric oxide reversibly inhibited PTP opening with an IC(50) of 11 nm NO( small middle dot)/s, which can be readily achieved in vivo by NO( small middle dot) synthases. The mechanism involved mitochondrial membrane depolarization and inhibition of Ca(2+) accumulation. At supraphysiological release rates (>2 micrometer/s) NO( small middle dot) accelerated PTP opening. Substantial cytochrome c release occurred with only a 20% change in mitochondrial swelling, was an early event in the PTP, and was also inhibited by NO( small middle dot). Furthermore, NO( small middle dot) exposure resulted in significantly lower cytochrome c release for the same degree of PTP opening. It is proposed that this pathway represents an additional mechanism underlying the antiapoptotic effects of NO( small middle dot). 相似文献

The effects of pressure on cytochrome c peroxidase [CcP(FeIII)], its cyano derivative (CcP X CN) and its enzyme-substrate complex (ES) have been studied. The effects of pressure on the binding of the substrate analog porphyrin cytochrome c (porphyrin c) to CcP X CN and ES have also been studied. High pressure causes CcP(FeIII) to undergo a high-spin to low-spin transition but has no detectable effect on either CcP X CN, which is already low spin, or on ES. The low-spin CcP(FeIII) structure at pressure is similar to the low-spin form at low temperature and the low-spin form of horseradish peroxidase at high pressure. delta V degree associated with the spin equilibrium is about 30 ml/mol and is independent of temperature. delta G degree is small, 4.7 kJ/mol at 0 degree C, while delta H degree is 14.2 kJ/mol at 1 bar (100 kPa). Pressure has no detectable effect on the binding equilibria of mixtures of CcP X CN plus porphyrin c or ES plus porphyrin c. This indicates that the interaction of CcP and porphyrin c results in little or no volume change; the same is true in the case of cytochrome c oxidase and porphyrin c. 相似文献

Interaction between cytochrome c and cytochrome c peroxidase: excited-state reactions of zinc- and tin-substituted derivatives 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effect of cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and apoCCP on the fluorescence and phosphorescence of Zn and Sn cytochrome c (cyt c) and the effect of cyt c on the fluorescence and phosphorescence of Zn CCP were examined. We found the following: The fluorescence yields of Zn and Sn cyt c were quenched by about 20% by CCP, consistent with energy transfer between the two chromophores with a separation of about 1.8 nm. The phosphorescence spectrum of Zn cyt c (but not Sn cyt c) shifts by 20 nm to the blue upon complexation with either CCP or apoCCP; at the same time the phosphorescence lifetime of Zn cyt c decreases from 12 +/- 2 to 6 ms with apoCCP addition. Zn CCP phosphorescence decay increases from 8.3 to 9.1 ms upon addition of poly(L-lysine) used to mimic cyt c. It is concluded from these results that binding of the redox partner or an analogue to Zn CCP and Zn cyt c results in a conformational change. The respective phosphorescence lifetimes of Zn and Sn cyt c were 13 and 3 ms in the absence of CCP and 1.6 and 1.1 ms in the presence of CCP; this corresponds to a quenching rate due to CCP of 519 and 570 s-1, for Zn and Sn cyt c, respectively. The phosphorescence of Zn CCP is also affected by native cyt c but is dramatically less than the complementary pair; the quenching rate constant is 17 s-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

1. The steady state kinetics for the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by yeast cytochrome c peroxidase are biphasic under most conditions. The same biphasic kinetics were observed for yeast iso-1, yeast iso-2, horse, tuna, and cicada cytochromes c. On changing ionic strength, buffer anions, and pH, the apparent Km values for the initial phase (Km1) varied relatively little while the corresponding apparent maximal velocities varied over a much larger range. 2. The highest apparent Vmax1 for horse cytochrome c is attained at relatively low pH (congruent to 6.0) and low ionic strength (congruent to 0.05), while maximal activity for the yeast protein is at higher pH (congruent to 7.0) and higher ionic strength (congruent to 0.2), with some variations depending on the nature of the buffering ions. 3. Direct binding studies showed that cytochrome c binds to two sites on the peroxidase, under conditions that give biphasic kinetics. Under those ionic conditions that yield monophasic kinetics, binding occurred at only one site. At the optimal buffer concentrations for both yeast and horse cytochromes c, the KD1 and KD2 values approximate the Km1 and Km2 values. At ionic strengths below optimal, binding becomes too strong and above optimal, too weak. 4. Under ionic conditions that are optimal and give monophasic kinetics with horse cytochrome c but are suboptimal for the yeast protein, yeast cytochrome c strongly inhibits the reaction of horse cytochrome c with peroxidase, uncompetitively at one site and competitively at a second site. The appearance of the second site under monophasic conditions is interpreted as an allosteric effect of the inhibitor binding to the first site. 5. The simplest model accounting for these observations postulates two kinetically active sites on each molecule of peroxidase, a high affinity and a low affinity site, that may correspond to the free radical and the heme iron (IV) of the oxidized enzyme, respectively. Both oxidizing equivalents may be discharged at either site. Furthermore, the enzyme appears to exist as an equilibrium mixture of a high ionic strength form, EH and a low ionic strength form, EL, the former reacting optimally with yeast cytochrome c, and the latter with horse cytochrome c. 相似文献

Previous studies established that the cyanyl radical ((*)CN), detected as 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO)/(*)CN by the electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping technique, can be generated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) in the absence of H(2)O(2). To investigate the mechanism of inhibition by cyanyl radical, we isolated and characterized the iron protoporphyrin IX and heme a from the reactions of CN(-) with HRP and CcO, respectively. The purified heme from the reaction mixture of HRP/H(2)O(2)/KCN was unambiguously identified as cyanoheme by the observation of the protonated molecule, (M + H)(+), of m/z = 642.9 in the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrum. The proton NMR spectrum of the bipyridyl ferrous cyanoheme complex revealed that one of the four meso protons was missing and had been replaced with a cyanyl group, indicating that the single, heme-derived product was meso-cyanoheme. The holoenzyme of HRP from the reconstitution of meso-cyanoheme with the apoenzyme of HRP (apoHRP) showed no detectable catalytic activity. The Soret peak of cyanoheme-reconstituted apoHRP was shifted to 411 nm from the 403 nm peak of native HRP. In contrast, the heme a isolated from partially or fully inhibited CcO did not show any change in the structure of the protoporphyrin IX as indicated by its MALDI mass spectrum, which showed an (M + H)(+) of m/z = 853.6, and by its pyridine hemochromogen spectrum. However, a protein-centered radical on the CcO can be detected in the reaction of CcO with cyanide and was identified as the thiyl radical(s) based on inhibition of its formation by N-ethylmaleimide pretreatment, suggesting that the protein matrix rather than protoporphyrin IX was attacked by the cyanyl radical. In addition to the difference in heme structures between HRP and CcO, the available crystallographic data also suggested that the distinct heme environments may contribute to the different inhibition mechanisms of HRP and CcO by cyanyl radical. 相似文献

The proton stoichiometry for the oxidation of cytochrome c peroxidase (ferrocytochrome c: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.5) to cytochrome c peroxidase Compound I by H2O2, for the reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase Compound I to cytochrome c peroxidase Compound II by ferrocyanide, and for the reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase Compound II to the native enzyme by ferrocyanide has been determined as a function of pH between pH 4 and 8. The basic stoichiometry for the reaction is that no protons are required for the oxidation of the native enzyme to Compound I, while one proton is required for the reduction of Compound I to Compound II, and one proton is required for the reduction of Compound II to the native enzyme. Superimposed upon the basic stoichiometry is a contribution due to the perturbation of two ionizable groups in the enzyme by the redox reactions. The pKa values for the two groups are 4.9 +/- 0.3 and 5.7 +/- 0.2 in the native enzyme, 4.1 +/- 0.4 and 7.8 +/- 0.2 in Compound I, and 4.3 +/- 0.4 and 6.7 +/- 0.2 in Compound II. 相似文献

The effects of pH on access to the cytochrome P-450 active site, N-demethylation and formation of the cytochrome P-450 Fe(II)-RNO metabolite complex for a series of erythromycin derivatives were examined. Studies were performed with dexamethasone-treated rat liver microsomes containing large amounts of cytochrome P-450 3A isozymes. In addition to factors such as hydrophobicity or hindrance around the dimethyl-amino function, the ionisation state of the N(CH3)2 group played an important role in the recognition and metabolism of the substrate by cytochrome P-450. Esterification of the desosamine in the beta position of the N(CH3)2 group leads to lower pKa values for the R--N+ H(CH3)2 <--> [R--N (CH3)2] + H+ equilibrium. At physiological pH, the amine group is mainly in the unprotonated form. Consequently, easier access to the protein active site and significant formation of cytochrome P-450 Fe(II)-RNO metabolite complex are observed for these derivatives. These results led us to interpret the formation of cytochrome P-450 Fe(II)-RNO metabolite complex as a series of multiple steps equilibria depending on the ionisation state of the N(CH3)2 group, the partition coefficient of the substrate between the microsomal layer and the aqueous media and a series of metabolic reactions leading partially to the final inhibitory nitrosoalkane-cytochrome P-450 Fe(II) complex. 相似文献
