Citrate and other polyanion binding to ferricytochrome c partially blocks reduction by ascorbate, but at constant ionic strength the citrate-cytochrome c complex remains reducible; reduction by TMPD is unaffected. At a constant high ionic strength citrate inhibits the cytochrome c oxidase reaction competitively with respect to cytochrome c, indicating that ferrocytochrome c also binds citrate, and that the citrateferrocytochrome c complex is rejected by the binding site at high ionic strength. At lower ionic strengths, citrate and other polyanions change the kinetic pattern of ferrocytochrome c oxidation from first-order towards zero-order, indicating preferential binding of the ferric species, followed by its exclusion from the binding site. The turnover at low cytochrome c concentrations is diminished by citrate but not the Km (apparent non-competitive inhibition) or the rate of cytochrome a reduction by bound cytochrome c. Small effects of anions are seen in direct measurements of binding to the primary site on the enzyme, and larger effects upon secondary site binding. It is concluded that anion-cytochrome c complexes may be catalytically competent but that the redox potentials and/or intramolecular behaviour of such complexes may be affected when enzyme-bound. Increasing ionic strength diminishes cytochrome c binding not only by decreasing the ‘association’ rate but also by increasing the ‘dissociation’ rate for bound cytochrome c converting the ‘primary’ (T) site at high salt concentrations into a site similar kinetically to the ‘secondary’ (L) site at low ionic strength. A finite Km of 170 μM at very high ionic strength indicates a ratio of of about 5000. It is proposed that anions either modify the E10 of cytochrome c bound at the primary (T) site or that they perturb an equilibrium between two forms of bound c in favour of a less active form. 相似文献

Thermotropic properties of purified cytochrome and cytochrome have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry under various conditions. Both cytochromes exhibit a single endothermodenaturation peak in the differential scanning calorimetric thermogram. Thermodenaturation temperatures are ionic strength, pH, and redox state dependent. The ferrocytochromes are more stable toward thermodenaturation than the ferricytochromes. The enthalpy changes of thermodenaturation of ferro- and ferricytochrome are markedly dependent on the ionic strength of the solution. The effect of the ionic strength of solution on the enthalpy change of thermodenaturation of cytochrome is rather insignificant. The formation of a complex between cytochromes and at lower ionic strength causes a significant destabilization of the former and a slight stabilization of the latter. The destabilization of cytochrome upon mixing with cytochrome was also observed at high ionic strength, under which conditions no stable complex was detected by physical separation. This suggests formation of a transient complex between these two cytochromes. When cytochrome was complexed with phospholipids, no change in the thermodenaturation temperature was observed, but a great increase in the enthalpy change of thermodenaturation resulted. 相似文献

The reduction kinetics of two differently charged cytochromes , horse cytochrome and cytochrome , by ferrous EDTA2? were studied as a function of ionic strength. Since both proteins have nearly the same heme edge region, but have very different overall surface charge, this comparative study served as a direct test of the utility of small nonbinding non-physiological redox agents in the study of the charge of electron transfer sites of redox proteins. Calculations based on the ionic strength-kinetic data yielded protein charges of +10 and +2.3 for cytochrome and cytochrome respectively and compared well with values of +9 and +3 for the overall charge of the proteins based on acidic and basic amino acid residues. It is concluded that ionic strength effects upon the redox kinetics with such nonbinding nonphysiological redox agents reflect the influence of the overall protein charge and not the localized charge of the presumed site of electron transfer. 相似文献

The concept of high- and low-affinity reactions in bovine cytochrome c oxidase steady-state kinetics
(1) Analysis of the data from steady-state kinetic studies shows that two reactions between cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase sufficed to describe the concave Eadie-Hofstee plots ( and ). It is not necessary to postulate a third reaction of . (2) Change of temperature, type of detergent and type of cytochrome c affected both reactions to the same extent. The presence of only a single catalytic cytochrome c interaction site on the oxidase could explain the kinetic data. (3) Our experiments support the notion that, at least under our conditions (pH 7.8, low-ionic strength), the dissociation of ferricytochrome c from cytochrome c oxidase is the rate-limiting step in the steady-state kinetics. (4) A series of models, proposed to describe the observed steady-state kinetics, is discussed. 相似文献

1. Formate inhibits cytochrome oxidase activity both in intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles, and in isolated cytochrome . The inhibition increases with decreasing pH, indicating that HCOOH may be the inhibitory species.2. Formate induces a blue shift in the absorption spectrum of oxidized cytochrome ) and in the half-reduced species (). Comparison with cyanide-induced spectral shifts, towards the red, indicates that formate and cyanide have opposite effects on the spectrum, both in the fully oxidized and the half-reduced states. The formate spectra provide a new method of obtaining the difference spectrum of minus , free of the difficulties with cyanide (which induces marked high → low spin spectral shifts in cytochrome ) and azide (which induces peak shifts of cytochrome towards the blue in both α- and Soret regions).3. The rate of formate dissociation from cytochrome is faster than its rate of dissociation from , especially in the presence of cytochrome . The for formate inhibition of respiration is a function of the reduction state of the system, varying from 30 mM (100% reduction) to 1 mM (100% oxidation) at pH 7.4, 30 °C.4. Succinate-cytochrome reductase activity is also inhibited by formate, in a reaction competitive with succinate and dependent on [formate]2.5. Formate inhibition of ascorbate plus oxidation by intact rat liver mitochondria is partially released by uncoupler addition. Formate is permeable through the inner mitochondrial membrane and no differences in ‘on’ or ‘off’ inhibition rates were observed when intact mitochondria were compared with submitochondrial particles.6. NADH-cytochrome reductase activity is unaffected by formate in submitochondrial particles, but mitochondrial oxidation of glutamate plus malate is subject both to terminal inhibition at the cytochrome level and to a slow extra inhibition by formate following uncoupler addition, indicating a third site of formate action in the intact mitochondrion. 相似文献

Systematic heat of dilution studies of the self-association of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) have been conducted as a function of ionic strength (0.05 – 2.0 m) and pH (5–9) in aqueous solution. The data are adequately described by the expression for an isodesmic self-association. QT is the molar heat of dilution, ΔH and K are the derived enthalpy and equilibrium constants for the process FMN + (FMN)i?1 ? (FMN)i, and cT is the concentration of FMN expressed in monomer units. Typical values derived for the various thermodynamic parameters at 25 °C are ΔG = ?3.56 kcal mol?1, ΔH = ?3.72 kcal mol?1, and ΔS = ?0.54 cal (mol · deg)?1. These data, plus nuclear magnetic resonance evidence (Yagi, K., Ohishi, N., Takai, A., Kawano, K., and Kyogoku, Y., 1976, Biochemistry15, 2877–2880) argue in favor of an open-ended association of flavin molecules. The signs of the various thermodynamic parameters suggest that both hydrophobic and surface energy forces contribute significantly to the association, while the lack of any significant ionic strength dependence indicates the lack of any ionic centers in the association. 相似文献

The method of determination of Redox potentials of radicals, using the pulse radiolysis technique, is outlined. The method is based on the determination of equilibrium constants of electron transfer reactions between the radicals and appropriate acceptors. The limitations of this technique are discussed.The redox potentials of several quinones-semiquinones are calculated, as well as the standard redox potential of the peroxy radical. and the redox oxidation properties of the peroxy radical in various systems and pH are discussed. The value determined for the redox potentials of is higher by more than 0.2 V than earlier estimates, which has important implications on the possible role of O2? in biological processes of O2 fixation. 相似文献

Redox potentials of ferro-ferricyanide and cytochrome c were measured in water/ethylene glycol and water/dimethylsulfoxide (volume ratio from 100/0 to 50/50) between 25 and ?25°C. For both systems, the midpoint potential decreases in the presence of organic solvents and increases by cooling. The magnitude of these variations is larger in dimethylsulfoxide than in ethylene glycol; moreover in the same solvent mixture it is larger with ferro-ferricyanide than with cytochrome c, so that the difference between the redox potentials of these two systems can be strongly affected and even reversed. While in pure water (cacodylate buffer pH 7.0, NaCl 0.1 M) they are respectively +388 and +265 mV, in 50% dimethylsulfoxide at 25°C they decrease to +112 and +208 mV. Reduction of cytochrome c by ferro-ferricyanide, in this mixture, is then expected and was indeed observed. On the other hand, as , (E being the redox potential) is higher for ferro-ferricyanide than for cytochrome c, the oxidative power of the former for the latter is expected to increase as temperature decreases. This effect was observed in 50% ethylene glycol at ?16°C.Organic solvents and large temperature variations appear then as powerful perturbants of redox reactions. Their effects should be taken into account in studies of redox reactions carried out in cooled hydro-organic media. 相似文献

A green mutant of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides was isolated in which spectroscopic measurements of the α-band region of cytochromes could be made. It was grown either aerobically or photosynthetically, and the membrane fractions prepared from cells of each type. Anaerobic potentiometric titration at 560 nm minus 542 nm showed the same three redox components, tentatively identified as b-type cytochromes, in membrane fractions from either type of cell. The mid-point potentials were approximately +185, +41 and ?104 mV. In membranes from photosynthetically grown cells the major cytochrome form absorbing at 560 nm had a mid-point potential of +42 mV; in aerobically grown cells the major form had a potential of +185 mV. In both types of cell only one c-type cytochrome was found, with a mid-point potential of +295 mV. An a-type cytochrome was present only in aerobically-grown cells.Substrate-reduced particles from these cells were mixed with air-saturated buffer in a stopped-flow spectrophotometer and the kinetics of oxidation of b- and c-type cytochromes were measured. The same two b-type components, reacting with pseudo first order kinetics, were detected in particles from both aerobically and photosynthetically grown cells ( for oxidation 1.3 s and 0.13 s). The c-type cytochrome of particles from aerobically grown cells was oxidised with of 0.97 s; the c-type cytochrome of photosynthetic cells was oxidised faster, with of 0.27 s.These observations have implications on the adaptive formation of electron transport systems that are discussed. 相似文献

(1) Aqueous solutions of 1–10 μM ferricytochrome c treated with 100 μM–100 mM H2O2 at pH 8.0 emit chemiluminescence with quantum yield and absolute maximum intensity per cm3 (λ = 440), and exhibit exponential decay with a rate constant of 0.15 s?1. (2) The emission spectrum of the chemiluminescence covers the range 380–620 nm with the maximum at 460 ± 10 nm. (3) Neither cytochrome c nor haemin fluoresce in the spectral region of the chemiluminescence. In the reaction course with H2O2, a weak fluorescence in the region 400–620 nm with λmax = 465–510 nm (λexc 315–430 nm) gradually arises. This originates from tryptophan oxidation products of the formylkynurenine type or from imidazole derivatives, respectively. (4) Frozen solutions (77 K) of cytochrome c exhibit phosphorescence typical of tryptophan (λexc = 280 nm, λem = 450 nm). During the peroxidation, an additional phosphorescence gradually appears in the range 480–620 nm with λmax = 530 nm (λexc = 340 nm). This originates from oxidative degradation products of tryptophan. (5) There are no red bands in the chemiluminescence spectra of cytochrome c or haemin. This result suggests that singlet molecular oxygen is not involved in either peroxidation or chemiluminescence. (6) The haem Fe3+ group and H2O2 appear to be crucial for the chemiluminescence. It is suggested that the generation of electronically excited, light-emitting states is coupled to the production of conformational out-of-equilibrium states of peroxy-Fe-protoporphyrin IX compounds. 相似文献

The dependence of the mitochondrial respiratory rate on the reduction of cytochrome c has been measured as a function of the exogenous ratio and pH. The respiratory rate at values of less than 10-1m-1 is proportional to the reduction of cytochrome c and independent of pH from pH 6.5 to pH 8.O. The maximal turnover number (at 100% reduction) for cytochrome c is approximately 70 s?1. As the ratio is increased from 10?1m?1 to 104m?1, the respiration at any given level of reduction of cytochrome c is progressively inhibited. Greater inhibition is observed at more oxidized levels of cytochorme c with respiratory control values for oxidation of reduced cytochrome c exceeding 10. The behavior of mitochondrial respiratory control is shown to be quantitatively consistent with a proposed mechanism in which the regulation occurs in the reaction of oxygen with cytochrome oxidase. A steady-state rate expression is derived which fits the mitochondrial respiratory rate dependence on (i) the extramitochondrial ratio; (ii) the level of reduction of cytochrome c (or the intramitochondrial at different values; (iii) the pH of the suspending medium. This rate expression appears to correctly predict the relationships of the cytoplasmic ratio, the mitochondrial ratio, and the mitochondrial respiratory rate in intact cells as well as suspensions of isolated mitochondria. 相似文献

Proton inventory investigations of the hydrolysis N-acetylbenzotriazole at pH 3.0 (or the equivalent point on the pD rate profile) have been conducted at two different temperatures and at ionic strengths ranging from 0 to 3.0 M. The solvent deuterium isotope effects and proton inventories are remarkably similar over this wide range of conditions. The proton inventories suggest a cyclic transition state involving four protons contributing to the solvent deuterium isotope effect for the water-catalyzed hydrolysis. The hydrolysis data are described by the equation with , where ko is the observed first-order rate constant in protium oxide, n is the atom fraction of deuterium in the solvent, kn is the rate constant in a protium oxide-deuterium oxide mixture, and is the isotopic fractionation factor. 相似文献

The entropy-driven polymerization of tobacco mosaic virus protein is favored by an increase in ionic strength, μ, and by a decrease in pH. The effect of ionic strength is interpreted in terms of salting-out and electrical work, a function of charge and, therefore, of pH as well as of μ. The extent of polymerization is measured in terms of a characteristic temperature, , corresponding to a characteristic value of the equilibrium constant, is measured at an early stage in the polymerization process where the optical density increment from light scatter is 0.01. The theory developed encompassing both salting-out and electrical work terms relates to μ approximately according to the equation, , where C is the ratio of entropy to enthalpy, B is proportional to the salting-out constant divided by enthalpy, and depends upon the square of the charge and is proportional to the electrical work contribution divided by the enthalpy. Data in which μ varied from 0.025 to 0.150 at three pH values, 5.95, 6.35, and 6.50, were fitted to this equation and the parameters C, B, and A were evaluated. Experiments were also carried out at a constant μ of 0.10 at pH values in increments of 0.1 between 5.9 and 6.8. The theory predicts that, at constant μ, , corrected for the electrical work contribution, is a linear function of pH with a negative slope proportional to the number of hydrogen ions bound per protein unit during polymerization, divided by the enthalpy. The data obtained fit two straight lines with different slopes above and below pH 6.3. Independent experiments carried out by the method of Stevens and Loga show that the number of hydrogen ions bound per protein unit also differs above and below pH 6.3 and the ratio of these is the same as the ratio of the above mentioned slopes. The data, therefore, make it possible to evaluate the enthalpy to be 24.8 kcal/mol of associating A protein and, with this value, the parameters C, B, and A can be interpreted. Standard entropies range from 86 e.u. at pH 6.5 to 88.5 at pH 5.95 and the salting-out constant, KS′, is 2.2 at all pH values studied. At μ = 0.10, the values of the electrical work contribution at pH 5.95, 6.35, and 6.50 are +0.298, +0.455, and +0.534 kcal/mol, respectively. Theoretical calculations from models predict values in agreement within a factor of less than two. 相似文献

The association constant, KA, for myosin subfragment-1 binding to actin was measured as a function of ionic strength [KCl, LiCl, and tetramethylammonium chloride (TMAC)]and temperature by the method of time-resolved fluorescence depolarization. The following thermodynamic values were obtained from solutions of 0.20 × 10?6m S-1, 1.00 × 10?6m actin in 0.15 m KCl, pH 7.0, at 25 °C: ΔG ° = ?39 ± 1 kJ M?1, ΔH0 = 44 ± 2 kJ M?1 and . For measurements in KCl (0.05 to 0.60 m), In . Thus, the binding is endothermic and strongly inhibited by high ionic strength. When KCl was replaced by LiCl or TMAC the ionic effects on the binding were cation specific. The nature of actin-(S-1) binding in the rigor state is discussed in terms of these results. 相似文献

The changes in polymer-solvent interactions that occur when native calf thymus DNA is dialyzed against Na2SO4 solutions of a given ionic strength and buffer concentration but of varying concentrations in methylmercuric hydroxide have been investigated with the help of solution density measurements at 25 °C and pH 6.8–7.0. From measurements executed under equilibrium dialysis conditions at the three salt levels 5 mm, 0.05 m, and 0.5 m Na2SO4 (m refers to molality) and in the presence of 5 mm cacodylic acid buffer, the density increments for native calf thymus DNA were determined as a function of CH3HgOH concentration. was found not to vary with organomercurial concentration, irrespective of the concentration of supporting electrolyte, until a certain CH3HgOH concentration level has been reached, viz., , beyond which increases strongly with increasing concentration of CH3HgOH. As is shown by optical melting, becomes a function of organomercurial concentration the moment DNA undergoes denaturation brought about by the complexing of CH3HgOH with the various N-binding sites of the base residues in the DNA double helix.Polymer-solvent interactions, expressed in terms of preferential water interactions (“net hydration”) and preferential salt interactions (“salt solvation”), were derived from the data in combination with data obtained on the preferential interaction of CH3HgOH with denatured DNA and data on the partial specific volumes of all major solution components, gathered from density measurements on solutions with fixed concentrations of diffusible components. Evidence is presented which shows that denaturation in general decreases the net hydration while salt becomes preferentially associated with the polyelectrolyte. This process is further amplified by the interaction of CH3HgOH with denatured DNA: Methylmercurated DNA alters the redistribution of diffusible components at dialysis equilibrium to such an extent that in a formal sense large amounts of water are rejected from the immediate vicinity of the polymer. The molecular implications of these findings are explored. The results are further discussed in the light of previous findings where the methylmercury-induced denaturation of DNA had been studied with the help of buoyant density measurements in a Cs2SO4 density gradient and by velocity-sedimentation in a variety of sulfate media. 相似文献

1. In mitochondrial particles antimycin binds to two separate specific sites with dissociation constants and , respectively.2. The concentrations of the two antimycin binding sites are about equal. The absolute concentration for each binding site is about 100 – 150 pmol per mg of mitochondrial protein.3. Antimycin bound to the stronger site mainly inhibits NADH- and succinate oxidase. Binding of antimycin to the weaker binding site inhibits the electron flux to exogenously added cytochrome c after blocking cytochrome oxidase by KCN.4. Under certain conditions cytochrome b and c1 are dispensible components for antimycin-sensitive electron transport.5. A model of the respiratory chain in yeast is proposed which accounts for the results reported here and previously. (Lang, B., Burger, G. and Bandlow, W. (1974) Biochim. Biophys.

The observed equilibrium constants (Kobs) for the l-phosphoserine phosphatase reaction [EC 3.1.3.3] have been determined under physiological conditions of temperature (38 °C) and ionic strength (0.25 m) and physiological ranges of pH and free [Mg2+]. Using Σ and square brackets to indicate total concentrations . The value of Kobs has been found to be relatively sensitive to pH. At 38 °C, K+] = 0.2 m and free [Mg2+] = 0; Kobs = 80.6 m at pH 6.5, 52.7 m at pH 7.0 [ΔGobs0 = ?10.2 kJ/mol (?2.45 kcal/mol)], and 44.0 m at pH 8.0 ([H2O] = 1). The effect of the free [Mg2+] on Kobs was relatively slight; at pH 7.0 ([K+] = 0.2 m) Kobs = 52.0 m at free [Mg2+] = 10?3, m and 47.8 m at free [Mg2+] = 10?2, m. Kobs was insignificantly affected by variations in ionic strength (0.12–1.0 m) or temperature (4–43 °C) at pH 7.0. The value of K at 38 °C and I = 0.25 m has been calculated to be 34.2 ± 0.5 m [ΔGobs0 = ?9.12 kJ/mol (?2.18 kcal/ mol)]([H2O] = 1). The K for the phosphoserine phosphatase reaction has been combined with the K for the reaction of inorganic pyrophosphatase [EC 3.6.1.1] previously estimated under the same physiological conditions to calculate a value of 2.04 × 104, m [ΔGobs0 = ?28.0 kJ/mol (?6.69 kcal/mol)] for the K of the pyrophosphate:l-serine phosphotransferase [EC 2.7.1.80] reaction. . Values of Kobs for this reaction at 38 °C, pH 7.0, and I = 0.25 m are very sensitive to the free [Mg2+], being calculated to be 668 [ΔGobs0 = ?16.8 kJ/mol (?4.02 kcal/mol)] at free [Mg2+] = 0; 111 [ΔGobs0 = ?12.2 kJ/mol (?2.91 kcal/mol)] at free [Mg2+] = 10?3, m; and 9.1 [ΔGobs0 = ?5.7 kJ/mol (?1.4 kcal/mol) at free [Mg2+] = 10?2, m). Kobs for this reaction is also sensitive to pH. At pH 8.0 the corresponding values of Kobs are 4000 [ΔGobs0 = ?21.4 kJ/mol (?5.12 kcal/mol)] at free [Mg2+] = 0; and 97.4 [ΔGobs0 = ?11.8 kJ/ mol (?2.83 kcal/mol)] at free [Mg2+] = 10?3, m. Combining Kobs for the l-phosphoserine phosphatase reaction with Kobs for the reactions of d-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.95] and l-phosphoserine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.52] previously determined under the same physiological conditions has allowed the calculation of Kobs for the overall biosynthesis of l-serine from d-3-phosphoglycerate. The value of Kobs for these combined reactions at 38 °C, pH 7.0, and I = 0.25 m (K+ as the monovalent cation) is 1.34 × 10?2, m at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 1.27 × 10?2, m at free [Mg2+] = 10?3, m. 相似文献

The state of association of chorismate mutase/prephenate dehydratase (EC 5.4.99.5/ 4.2.1.51) from E. coli K12 has been studied using ultracentrifugal techniques. The smallest species inferred is a dimer of molecular weight 73,000–84,000, with a of 5.02 S at pH 8.2, I = 0.013 M. This species undergoes a concentration-dependent self-association which results in an equilibrium mixture of dimer, tetramer, and probably octamer, with a Mr of 164,000 at an enzyme concentration of 8.0 mg/ml under the same conditions. Addition of the feedback inhibitor phenylalanine (2 mm) or increase in ionic strength (I = 0.40 M), or a decrease in pH to 7.4 displaces this equilibrium toward the higher-molecular-weight forms of the enzyme, resulting in Mr values of 273,000, 254,000, and 257,000, respectively. This behavior partially explains the allosteric kinetics and inhibitor binding observed previously with this enzyme. 相似文献
