The bis(terpyridine)cobalt(II), Co(terpy)2(2+), reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase compound I, CcP-I, has been investigated using stopped-flow techniques as a function of ionic strength in pH 7.5 buffers at 25 degrees C. Co(terpy)2(2+) initially reduces the Trp191 radical site in CcP-I with an apparent second-order rate constant, k2, equal to 6.0+/-0.4x10(6) M(-1)s(-1) at 0.01 M ionic strength. A pseudo-first-order rate constant of 480 s(-1) was observed for the reduction of CcP-I by 79 microM Co(terpy)2(2+) at 0.01 M ionic strength. The one-electron reduction of CcP-I produces a second enzyme intermediate, CcP compound II (CcP-II), which contains an oxyferryl, Fe(IV), heme. Reduction of the Fe(IV) heme in CcP-II by Co(terpy)2(2+) shows saturation kinetics with a maximum observed rate constant, k3max, of 24+/-2 s(-1) at 0.01 M ionic strength. At low reductant concentrations, the apparent second-order rate constant for Co(terpy)2(2+) reduction of CcP-II, k3, is 1.2+/-0.5x10(6) M(-1) s-1. All three rate constants decrease with increasing ionic strength. At 0.10 M ionic strength, values of k2, k3, and k3max decrease to 6.0+/-0.8x10(5) M(-1) s(-1), 1.2+/-0.5x10(5) M(-1) s(-1), and 11+/-3 s(-1), respectively. Both the product, Co(terpy)2(3+), and ferricytochrome c inhibit the rate of Co(terpy)2(2+) reduction of CcP-I and CcP-II. Gel-filtration studies show that a minimum of two Co(terpy)2(3+) molecules bind to the native enzyme in low ionic strength buffers. 相似文献

Replacement of Phe-82 in yeast iso-1-cytochrome c with Tyr, Leu, Ile, Ser, Ala, and Gly produces a gradation of effects on (1) the reduction potential of the protein, (2) the rate of reaction with Fe(EDTA)2-, and (3) the CD spectra of the ferricytochromes in the Soret region under conditions where contributions from the alkaline forms of these proteins are absent. The reduction potential of cytochrome c is lowered by as little as 10 mV (Tyr-82) or by as much as 43 mV (Gly-82; pH 6.0) as the result of these substitutions. The second-order rate constants for reduction of these cytochromes range from a low of 6.20 (2) x 10(4) for the Tyr-82 variant to a high of 14.8 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 for the Ser-82 variant [pH 6.0, 25 degrees C, mu = 0.1 M (sodium phosphate)]. Analysis of these rates by use of relative Marcus theory produces values of k11corr that range from 10.9 M-1 s-1 for the wild-type protein to 190 M-1 s-1 for the Gly-82 mutant [25 degrees C, mu = 0.1 M, pH 6.0 (sodium phosphate)]. Reinvestigation of the effect of substituting Phe-82 by a Tyr residue on the CD spectrum of the protein now reveals little alteration of the intense, negative Cotton effect in the Soret CD spectrum of ferricytochrome c. On the other hand, substitution of nonaromatic residues of various sizes at this position results in loss of this spectroscopic feature, consistent with previous findings.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The reaction between reduced Pseudomonas cytochrome c551 and cytochrome oxidase with two inorganic metal complexes, Co(phen)3(3+) and Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)-, has been followed by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The electron transfer to cytochrome c551 by both reactants is a simple process, characterized by the following second-order rate constant: k = 4.8 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 in the case of Co(phen)3(3+) and k = 2.3 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 in the case of Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)-. The reaction of the c-heme of the oxidase with both metal complexes is somewhat heterogeneous, the overall process being characterized by the following second-order rate constants: k = 1.7 X 10(3) M-1 sec-1 with Co(phen)3(3+) and k = 4.3 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 with Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)- as oxidants; under CO (which binds to the d1-heme) the former constant increases by a factor of 2, while the latter does not change significantly. The oxidation of the d1-heme of the oxidase by Co(phen)3(3+) occurs via intramolecular electron transfer to the c-heme, a direct bimolecular transfer from the complex being operative only at high metal complex concentrations; when Mn(CyDTA)(H2O)- is the oxidant, the bimolecular oxidation of the d1-heme competes successfully with the intramolecular electron transfer. 相似文献

The intermolecular electron transfer kinetics between nitrite reductase (NiR, cytochrome cd1) isolated from Pseudomonas nautica and three cytochromes c isolated from the same strain, as well as the intramolecular electron transfer between NiR heme c and NiR heme d1, were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. All cytochromes (cytochrome c552, cytochrome c553 and cytochrome C553(548)) exhibited well-behaved electrochemistry. The individual diffusion coefficients and mid-point redox potentials were determined. Under the experimental conditions, only cytochrome c552 established a rapid electron transfer with NiR. At acidic pH, the intermolecular electron transfer (cytochrome c(552red)-->NiR heme cox) is a second-order reaction with a rate constant (k2) of 4.1+/-0.1x10(5) M(-1) s(-1) (pH=6.3 and 100 mM NaCl). Under these conditions, the intermolecular reaction represents the rate-limiting step. A minimum estimate of 33 s(-1) could be determined for the first-order rate constant (k1) of the intramolecular electron transfer reaction NiR heme c(red)-->NiR heme d1ox. The pH dependence of k2 values was investigated at pH values ranging from 5.8 to 8.0. When the pH is progressively shifted towards basic values, the rate constant of the intramolecular electron transfer reaction NiR heme c(red)-->NiR heme d1ox decreases gradually to a point where it becomes rate limiting. At pH 8.0 we determined a value of 1.4+/-0.7 s(-1), corresponding to a k2 value of 2.2+/-1.1x10(4) M(-1) s(-1) for the intermolecular step. The physiological relevance of these results is discussed with a particular emphasis on the proposed mechanism of "dead-end product" formation. 相似文献

The reductive decomposition of both SNAP and SNOCap by ascorbate in aqueous solution (in the presence of EDTA) was thoroughly investigated. Nitric oxide (NO) release from the reaction occurs in an ascorbate concentration and pH dependent manner. Rates and hence NO release increased drastically with increasing pH, signifying that the most highly ionized form of ascorbate is the more reactive species. The experiments were monitored spectrophotometrically, and second-order rate constants calculated at 37 degrees C for the reduction of SNAP are k(b)=9.81+/-1.39 x 10(-3) M(-1) s(-1) and k(c)=662+/-38 M(-1) s(-1) and for SNOCap are k(b)=2.57+/-1.29 x 10(-2) M(-1) s(-1) and k(c)=49.7+/-1.3 M(-1) s(-1). k(b) and k(c) are the second-order rate constants via the ascorbate monoanion (HA-) and dianion (A2-) pathways, respectively. Activation parameters were also calculated and are DeltaHb++ =93+/-7 kJ mol(-1), DeltaSb++ =15+/-2 J K(-1) mol(-1) and DeltaHc++ =51+/-5 kJ mol(-1), DeltaSc++ =-28+/-3 J K(-1) mol(-1) with respect to the reactions involving SNAP. Those for the reaction between SNOCap and ascorbate were calculated to be DeltaHb++ =63+/-11 kJ mol(-1), DeltaSb++ =-71+/-20 J K(-1) mol(-1) and DeltaHc++ =103+/-7 kJ mol(-1), DeltaSc++ =118+/-8 J K(-1) mol(-1). The effect of Cu2+/Cu+ ions on the reductive decompositions of these S-nitrosothiols was also investigated in absence of EDTA. SNOCap exhibits relatively high stability at near physiological conditions (37 degrees C and pH 7.55) even in the presence of micromolar concentrations of Cu2+, with decomposition rate constant being 0.011 M(-1) s(-1) in comparison to SNAP which is known to be more susceptible to catalytic decomposition by Cu2+ (second-order rate constant of 20 M(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C). It was also observed that the reductive decomposition of SNAP is not catalyzed by alkali metal ions, however, there was an increase in rate as the ionic strength increases from 0.2 to 0.5 mol dm(-3) NaCl. 相似文献

We have shown that diphenlacetaldehyde (DPAA) is able to promote mitochondrial DeltaPsi disruption accompanied by damage in mitochondrial DNA, lipids, and proteins [Almeida, A. M.; Bechara, E. J. H.; Vercesi, A. E.; Nantes, I. L. Free Radic. Biol. Med. 27:744-747; 1999]. In this work, DPAA was used as a model of carbonyl reagent for cytochrome c. The results suggest that DPAA is a redox cytochrome c modifier. Conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II) cytochrome c promoted by DPAA is pH dependent. The second-order rate determined for heme iron reduction (k2) is 698 M(-1) s(-1) and this process occurs with an activation energy of 8.5 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol. Analysis of the pH profile suggests the presence of two ionizable cytochrome c groups (pKa1 = 8.9 and pKa2 = 11.4) related to the electron transfer from DPAA to heme iron. The heats of ionization of the two prototropic groups, pKa1 (DeltaH(ion) = 6.5 kcal/mol, DeltaS(ion) = -29.0 cal/mol.K), and pKa2 (DeltaH(ion) = 5.0 kcal/mol, DeltaS(ion) = -24.0 cal/mol.K), suggest involvement of two tyrosine residues, probably Y67 and Y74, related to DPAA-promoted heme iron reduction. The cytochrome c chemical modification by iodination of tyrosine groups significantly decreased the reduction rate promoted by DPAA, and shifted the pH(opt) value from 10.0 to 9.25. The cytochrome c-promoted DPAA electron abstraction quickly produces the expected enol-derived radical, as indicated by 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonate (DBNBS) spin trapping EPR measurements. This radical reacts with molecular oxygen, producing a peroxyl intermediate radical that, via a putative dioxetane intermediate, promotes formation of benzophenone as the main final product of this reaction, detected by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. 相似文献

In contrast to its lethargy at physiological pH, horse heart cytochrome c can be oxidized at room temperature by the axial inner sphere oxidant bromomalononitrile (BMN) at higher acidities. The following stoichiometry obtains: 2Fe11 c + BrCH(CN2) + H+ leads to 2FeIII c + CH2(CN)2 + Br-, and the rate law is given by: rate = k2(FeIIc)(BMN). At an ionic strength of 1.0 (KCl), second-order rate constants vary from 300 l. per mol per sec (pH 2-3) to 0(pH 9). Below pH 6 there is a noticeable increase in rate with ionic strength while there is no specific salt effect for the process. At pH 7.4 there is no influence of added salt (0.01-1.0 M) upon the slow rate of reaction. The vast changes in rate occur over a pH region (3-6) in which only very minor changes in the visible spectrum of the cytochrome are manifest. The results are interpreted in terms of a conformational isomerism of cytochrome c in which the effective redox geometry alters from a predominantly "short C" form (in which an axial position is available for substitution) at lower pH's to a predominantly "C" form (axial positions encumbered) in the physiological region. At 5 degrees, pH 7.4, both hemes of beef heart cytochrome oxidase are oxidized by the addition of BMN (k2 = 29 plus or minus 3 l. per mol per sec). However, the reaction is inhibited by potassium cyanide and the protein containing iron(II) cyt alpha along with the cyano adduct of iron(II) or iron(III) cyt alpha3 is inert. The results demonstrate cytochrome alpha3 as the site of reaction and that alpha reduces alpha3 in the process. Cytochrome oxidase does catalyze the oxidation of cytochrome c with BMN as substrate. Taken together the results provide additional support for a recent theory and they demonstrate BMN to be an efficient probe for the effective redox geometry of a hemoprotein in solution. 相似文献

In a recent publication (Michel et al. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 439:234-240; 2005) the authors argued that the catalytic rate constant, k(cat), for wild-type Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD), determined previously by pulse radiolysis, was overestimated due to contamination with excess copper. They reported that addition of 0.1 mM EDTA to a sample that already contained excess copper did not remove spurious activity, which is incompatible with well-known stability constants of copper complexes and contradicts previous observations. In the present study we verified that the addition of EDTA eliminates completely the effect of excess copper on the decomposition rate of O2*- in the presence of Cu,Zn-SOD. We determined that k(cat) = (2.82 +/- 0.02) x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) at low ionic strength (2 < I < 15 mM) and (1.30 +/- 0.02) x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) in the presence of 50 mM phosphate at pH 7.8 (I = approximately 150 mM), which are about twice higher than those reported by Michel et al. We also determined k(cat) by the cytochrome c assay and demonstrated the correlation between these direct and indirect assays. The phenotypic deficits imposed by deletion of SODs, and the oxygen dependence of these deficits, have repeatedly demonstrated that the several SODs do in fact, as well as is theory, provide an important protection against that facet of oxidative stress imposed by O2*-. 相似文献

Previously identified, potentially neuroprotective reactions of neuroglobin require the existence of yet unknown redox partners. We show here that the reduction of ferric neuroglobin by cytochrome b(5) is relatively slow (k=6 x 10(2)M(-1)s(-1) at pH 7.0) and thus is unlikely to be of physiological significance. In contrast, the reaction between ferrous neuroglobin and ferric cytochrome c is very rapid (k=2 x 10(7)M(-1)s(-1)) with an apparent overall equilibrium constant of 1 microM. Based on this data we propose that ferrous neuroglobin may well play a role in preventing apoptosis. 相似文献

The redox reaction between cytochrome c-551 and its oxidase from the respiratory chain of pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied by rapid-mixing techniques at both pH7 and 9.1. The electron transfer in the direction of cytochrome c-551 reduction, starting with the oxidase in the reduced and CO-bound form, is monophasic, and the governing bimolecular rate constants are 1.3(+/- 0.2) x 10(7) M-1 . s-1 at pH 9.1 and 4 (+/- 1) x 10(6) M-1 . s-1 at pH 7.0. In the opposite direction, i.e. mixing the oxidized oxidase with the reduced cytochrome c-551 in the absence of O2, both a lower absorbance change and a more complex kinetic pattern were observed. With oxidized azurin instead of oxidized cytochrome c-551 the oxidation of the c haem in the CO-bound oxidase is also monophasic, and the second-order rate constant is 2 (+/- 0.7) x 10(6) M-1 . s-1 at pH 9.1. The redox potential of the c haem in the oxidase, as obtained from kinetic titrations of the completely oxidized enzyme with reduced azurin as the variable substrate, is 288 mV at pH 7.0 and 255 mV at pH 9.1. This is in contrast with the very high affinity observed in similar titrations performed with both oxidized azurin and oxidized cytochrome c-551 starting from the CO derivative of the reduced oxidase. It is concluded that: (i) azurin and cytochrome c-551 are not equally efficient in vitro as reducing substrates of the oxidase in the respiratory chain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa; (ii) CO ligation to the d1 haem in the oxidase induces a large decrease (at least 80 mV) in the redox potential of the c-haem moiety. 相似文献

Ferrous oxygenated (Fe(II)O2) hemoglobins (Hb's) and myoglobins (Mb's) have been shown to react very rapidly with NO, yielding NO3(-) and the ferric heme-protein derivative (Fe(III)), by means of the ferric heme-bound peroxynitrite intermediate (Fe(III)OONO), according to the minimum reaction scheme: Fe(II)O2 + NO (k(on))--> Fe(III)OONO (h)--> Fe(III) + NO3(-). For most Hb's and Mb's, the first step (indicated by k(on)) is rate limiting, the overall reaction following a bimolecular behavior. By contrast, the rate of isomerization and dissociation of Fe(III)OONO (indicated by h) is rate limiting in NO scavenging by Fe(II)O2 murine neuroglobin, thus the overall reaction follows a monomolecular behavior. Here, we report the characterization of the NO scavenging reaction by Fe(II)O2 truncated Hb GlbO from Mycobacterium leprae. Values of k(on) (=2.1x10(6) M(-1) s(-1)) and h (=3.4 s(-1)) for NO scavenging by Fe(II)O2 M. leprae GlbO have been determined at pH 7.3 and 20.0 degrees C, the rate of Fe(III)OONO decay (h) is rate limiting. The Fe(III)OONO intermediate has been characterized by optical absorption spectroscopy in the Soret region. These results have been analyzed in parallel with those of monomeric and tetrameric globins as well as of flavoHb and discussed with regard to the three-dimensional structure of mycobacterial truncated Hbs and their proposed role in protection from nitrosative stress. 相似文献

The reaction between cytochrome c1 and cytochrome c 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The kinetics of electron transfer between the isolated enzymes of cytochrome c1 and cytochrome c have been investigated using the stopped-flow technique. The reaction between ferrocytochrome c1 and ferricytochrome c is fast; the second-order rate constant (k1) is 3.0 . 10(7) M-1 . s-1 at low ionic strength (I = 223 mM, 10 degrees C). The value of this rate constant decreases to 1.8 . 10(5) M-1 . s-1 upon increasing the ionic strength to 1.13 M. The ionic strength dependence of the electron transfer between cytochrome c1 and cytochrome c implies the involvement of electrostatic interactions in the reaction between both cytochromes. In addition to a general influence of ionic strength, specific anion effects are found for phosphate, chloride and morpholinosulphonate. These anions appear to inhibit the reaction between cytochrome c1 and cytochrome c by binding of these anions to the cytochrome c molecule. Such a phenomenon is not observed for cacodylate. At an ionic strength of 1.02 M, the second-order rate constants for the reaction between ferrocytochrome c1 and ferricytochrome c and the reverse reaction are k1 = 2.4 . 10(5) M-1 . s-1 and k-1 = 3.3 . 10(5) M-1 . s-1, respectively (450 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.0, 1% Tween 20, 10 degrees C). The 'equilibrium' constant calculated from the rate constants (0.73) is equal to the constant determined from equilibrium studies. Moreover, it is shown that at this ionic strength, the concentrations of intermediary complexes are very low and that the value of the equilibrium constant is independent of ionic strength. These data can be fitted into the following simple reaction scheme: cytochrome c2+1 + cytochrome c3+ in equilibrium or formed from cytochrome c3+1 + cytochrome c2+. 相似文献

The reaction of Pseudomonas nitrite reductase and nitrite. A stopped-flow and EPR study 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The reaction between reduced Pseudomonas nitrite reductase and nitrite has been studied by stopped-flow and rapid-freezing EPR spectroscopy. The interpretation of the kinetics at pH 8.0 is consistent with the following reaction mechanism (where k1 and k3 much greater than k2). [formula: see text] The bimolecular step (Step 1) is very fast, being lost in the dead time of a rapid mixing apparatus; the stoichiometry of the complex has been estimated to correspond to one NO2- molecule/heme d1. The final species is the fully reduced enzyme with NO bound to heme d1; and at all concentrations of nitrite, there is no evidence for dissociation of NO or for further reduction of NO to N2O. Step 2 is assigned to an internal electron transfer from heme c to reduced NO-bound heme d1 occurring with a rate constant of 1 s-1; this rate is comparable to the rate of internal electron transfer previously determined when reducing the oxidized enzyme with azurin or cytochrome c551. When heme d1 is NO-bound, the rate at which heme c can accept electrons from ascorbate is remarkably increased as compared to the oxidized enzyme, suggesting an increase in the redox potential of the latter heme. 相似文献

Mechanisms of peroxynitrite decomposition catalyzed by FeTMPS, a bioactive sulfonated iron porphyrin
Peroxynitrite is a known cytotoxic agent that plays a role in many pathological conditions. Various peroxynitrite decomposition catalysts and pathways are being explored to develop efficient therapeutic agents that can safely remove peroxynitrite from cells and tissues. Water-soluble porphyrins, such as iron(III) meso-tetra(2,4,6-trimethyl-3,5-disulfonato)porphine chloride (FeTMPS) and iron(III) meso-tetra(N-methyl4-pyridyl)porphine chloride (FeTMPyP), have been shown to react catalytically with peroxynitrite (ONOO-). However, their mechanisms are yet to be fully understood. In this study, we have explored the reactivity of FeTMPS in the catalytic decomposition of peroxynitrite. The mechanism of this complex process has been determined. According to this mechanism, Fe(III)TMPS is oxidized by peroxynitrite to produce oxoFe(lV)TMPS and NO2 (k1 = 1.3 x 10(5) M(-1)(s(-1). The porphyrin is then reduced back to Fe(III)TMPS by nitrite, but this rate (k2 = 1.4 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)) is not sufficient to maintain the catalytic process at the observed rate. The overall rate of peroxynitrite decomposition catalysis, kcat, was determined to be 6 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1), under typical conditions. We have postulated that an additional reduction pathway must exist. Kinetic simulations showed that a reaction of oxoFe(IV)TMPS with NO2 (k3 = 1.7 x 10(7) M((-1)s(-1)) could explain the behavior of this system and account for the fast reduction of oxoFe(IV)TMPS to Fe(III). Using the kinetic simulation analysis, we have also shown that two other rearrangement reactions, involving FeTMPS and peroxynitrite, are plausible pathways for peroxynitrite decay. A "cage-return" reaction between the generated oxoFe(IV)TMPS and NO2 (k8 = 5.4 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)), affording Fe(III)TMPS and nitrate, and a reaction between oxoFe(IV)TMPS and peroxynitrite (k7 = 2.4 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)) that affords oxoFe(IV)TMPS and nitrate are presented. The mechanism of FeTMPS-catalyzed peroxynitrite decay differs markedly from that of FeTMPyP, providing some insight into the reactivity of metal centers with peroxynitrite and biologically important radicals such as NO2. 相似文献

The dynamic behavior of various types of cytochromes c in the redox reaction with iron hexacyanides was studied using a temperature-jump method in order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the redox reaction of cytochromes with their oxidoreductants. Transmittance after the temperature jump changed through a single exponential decay for all cytochromes investigated. Under a constant concentration of anion, the redox reaction of various types of cytochrome c with iron hexacyanides was analyzed according to the scheme: (see formula in text) where C(III) and C(II) are ferric and ferrous cytochromes, respectively, Fe(III) and Fe(II) are ferri- and ferrocyanides, respectively, C(III) . Fe(II) is the ferricytochrome-ferrocyanide complex and C(II) . Fe(III) is the ferrocytochrome-ferricyanide complex. When step B is slower than the other two steps A and C, tau-1 can be represented approximately as (see formula in text) where the bar over the variables denotes the equilibrium value. In a large excess of ferrocyanide against cytochrome, we can estimate kappa 2, kappa-2, K1 and K3 independently. In the case of horse cytochrome c at 18 degrees C in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7 with 0.3 M KNO3, the estimated parameters are kappa 2 = 100 +/- 50 S-1, kappa-2 = (3.5 +/- 1.0) . 10(3) S-1, K1 = 15 +/- 7 M-1 and K3 = (8.5 +/- 1.5). 10(-4) M. From the same experiments for seven cytochromes (cytochrome c from horse, tuna, Candida krusei, Saccharomyces oviformis, Rhodospirillum rubrum cytochrome c2, Spirulina platensis cytochrome c-554 and Thermus thermophilus cytochrome c-552), the following results can be deduced. (1) Each parameter defined in the scheme above (kappa 2, kappa-2, K1, K3) diverged beyond the error range. Above all, kappa 2 values of cytochromes c-554 and c-552 are as large as 1 . 10(4) S-1 and much larger than those for the other cytochromes (to 50 approx. 700 S-1). (2) The variance of kappa 2K1 and kappa-2/K3 are relatively less than the variances of individual parameters (kappa 2, kappa-2, K1 and K3), which suggests that the values of kappa 2K1 and kappa-2/K3 have been conserved during the course of evolution. 相似文献

Electron transfer between the Rieske iron-sulfur protein (Fe(2)S(2)) and cytochrome c(1) was studied using the ruthenium dimer, Ru(2)D, to either photoreduce or photooxidize cytochrome c(1) within 1 micros. Ru(2)D has a charge of +4, which allows it to bind with high affinity to the cytochrome bc(1) complex. Flash photolysis of a solution containing beef cytochrome bc(1), Ru(2)D, and a sacrificial donor resulted in reduction of cytochrome c(1) within 1 micros, followed by electron transfer from cytochrome c(1) to Fe(2)S(2) with a rate constant of 90,000 s(-1). Flash photolysis of reduced beef bc(1), Ru(2)D, and a sacrificial acceptor resulted in oxidation of cytochrome c(1) within 1 micros, followed by electron transfer from Fe(2)S(2) to cytochrome c(1) with a rate constant of 16,000 s(-1). Oxidant-induced reduction of cytochrome b(H) was observed with a rate constant of 250 s(-1) in the presence of antimycin A. Electron transfer from Fe(2)S(2) to cytochrome c(1) within the Rhodobacter sphaeroides cyt bc(1) complex was found to have a rate constant of 60,000 s(-1) at 25 degrees C, while reduction of cytochrome b(H) occurred with a rate constant of 1000 s(-1). Double mutation of Ala-46 and Ala-48 in the neck region of the Rieske protein to prolines resulted in a decrease in the rate constants for both cyt c(1) and cyt b(H) reduction to 25 s(-1), indicating that a conformational change in the Rieske protein has become rate-limiting. 相似文献

Reduction process of cytochrome c3 by hydrogenase (EC 1.12.2.1) under H2 was analyzed by means of spectrophotometry. When cytochrome c3 is in equilibrium with H2 under reduced pressure, spectral abnormality in the Soret region appeared most significantly in 1/4 reduction state, less significantly at 1/2 reduction state, and disappeared at 3/4 reduction state. The spectral changes during the enzymic reduction of cytochrome c3 in H2-saturated solution traced at several wavelengths also showed spectral abnormality in the Soret region at the early stage of reaction. The first-order rate constants for the successive reduction steps from all-ferric to all-ferrous form of cytochrome c3 was estimated to be k1 = 0.061 s-1, k2 = 0.063 s-1, k3 = 0.039 s-1 and k4 = 0.014 s-1 (cytochrome c3: 2 microM; hydrogenase: 2 nM, and at 20 degrees C, pH 7.0). Strong interaction is suggested between hemes 3 and 4 (for the refined structure and heme-numbering, see Higuchi, Y., Kusunoki, M., Matsuura, Y., Yasuoka, N. and Kakudo, M. (1984) J. Mol. Biol. 172, 109-139). The first electron from hydrogenase is supposed to be transferred to these hemes and delocalized between them, and the second electron, among hemes 3, 4 and 1. The characteristic behavior in the enzymic reduction of cytochrome c3 is different from that in non-enzymic reduction. 相似文献

Oxidation of cytochrome c, a key protein in mitochondrial electron transport and a mediator of apoptotic cell death, by reactive halogen species (HOX, X2), i.e., metabolites of activated neutrophils, was investigated by stopped-flow. The fast initial reactions between FeIIIcytc and HOX species, with rate constants (at pH 7.6) of k > 3 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) for HOBr, k > 3 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) for HOCl, and k = (6.1+/-0.3) x 10(2) M(-1) s(-1) for HOI, are followed by slower intramolecular processes. All HOX species lead to a blue shift of the Soret absorption band and loss of the 695-nm absorption band, which is an indicator for the intact iron to Met-80 bond, and of the reducibility of FeIIIcytc. All HOX species do, in fact, persistently impair the ability of FeIIIcytc to act as electron acceptor, e.g., in reaction with ascorbate or O2*-. I2 selectively oxidizes the iron center of FeIIcytc, with a stoichiometry of 2 per I2, and with k(FeIIcytc + I2) approximately 4.6 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) and k(FeIIcytc + I2*-) = (2.9+/-0.4) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1). Oxidation of FeIIcytc by HOX species is not selectively directed toward the iron center; HOBr and HOCl are considered to react primarily by N-halogenation of side chain amino groups, and HOI mainly by sulfoxidation. There is some evidence for the generation of HO* radicals upon reaction of HOCl with FeIIcytc. Chloramines (e.g., NH2Cl), bromamine (NH2Br), and cyclo-Gly2 chloramide oxidize FeIIcytc slowly and unselectively, but iodide efficiently catalyzes reactions of these N-halogens to yield fast selective oxidation of the iron center; this is due to generation of I2 by reaction of I- with the N-halogen and recycling of I- by reaction of I2 with FeIIcytc. Iodide also catalyzes methionine sulfoxidation and thiol oxidation by NH2Cl. The possible biological relevance of these findings is discussed. 相似文献

A detailed investigation of the reduction of cytochrome c by glutathione has shown that the reaction proceeds through several steps. A rapid combination of the reducing agent with the cytochrome leads to the formation of a glutathione-cytochrome intermediate in which the glutathione most likely interacts with the edge of the heme moiety. The electron transfer takes place in a subsequent slower step. Since cytochrome c(III) exists in two conformational forms at neutral pH [Kujundzic, N., & Everse, J. (1978) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 82, 1211], the reduction of cytochrome c by glutathione may be represented by cyt c(III) + GS- reversible K1 cyt c(III) ... GS- reversible k1 products cyt c*(III) + GS- reversible K2 cyt c*(III) ... GS- reversible k2 products At 25 degrees C, pH 7.5, and an ionic strength of 1.0 (NaCl), k1 = 1.2 X 10(-3) S-1, k2 = 2.0 X 10(-3) S-1, k1 = 2.9 X 10(3) M-1, and K2 = 5.3 X 10(3) M-1. The reaction is catalyzed by trisulfides, and second-order rate constants of 4.55 X 10(3) and 7.14 X 10(3) M-1 S-1 were obtained for methyl trisulfide and cysteine trisulfide, respectively. 相似文献

The reactions of Fe(II)EDTA, Fe(II)DTPA, and Fe(II)HEDTA with hydrogen peroxide near neutral pH have been investigated. All these reactions have been assumed to proceed through an active intermediate, I1, (Formula: see text) where pac is one of the three polyaminocarboxylates mentioned above. I1, whether .OH radical or an iron complex, reacts with ethanol, formate, and other scavengers at rates relative to k2 that, with the exception of t-butanol and benzoate, are similar, but not identical, to those expected for the.OH radical. In contrast, at pH 3, in the absence of ligands the reaction of I1 with Fe2+ was inhibited by ethanol and t-butanol and the reactivity of I1 towards these two scavengers relative to ferrous ion is identical to that exhibited by the hydroxyl radical. When pac = HEDTA, the intermediate of the first reaction reacts with formate ion to form the ferrous HEDTA ligand radical complex, which is characterized by absorption maxima at 295 nm (epsilon = 2,640 M-1 cm-1) and 420 nm (epsilon = 620 M-1 cm-1). For the reaction of Fe(II)HEDTA with H2O2, the following mechanism is proposed: (Formula: see text) where k17 = 4.2 X 10(4) M-1 sec-1 and k19 = 5 +/- 0.2 sec-1. 相似文献
