Cytochrome c interaction with membranes. Interaction of cytochrome c with isolated membrane fragments and purified enzymes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The midpoint redox potential of cytochrome c and the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of nitroxide labeled cytochromes c were measured as a function of binding to purified cytochrome c oxidase, cytochrome c peroxidase, cytochrome b5 and succinate—cytochrome c reductase. The midpoint redox potential of horse heart cytochrome c is lowered in the presence of cytochrome c oxidase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase, but is unchanged in the presence of cytochrome c peroxidase or cytochrome b5. Further evidence of binding is afforded by an increase in correlation time, Tc, of the spin-labeled cytochrome c at methionine 65 upon binding to cytochrome c peroxidase, cytochrome c oxidase and succinate—cytochrome c reductase. The changes in midpoint redox potential and electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of the spin-labeled derivative upon binding can either be the consequence of specific interaction leading to formation of ES complexes, or it can be due to nonspecific electrostatic interaction between positively charged groups on cytochrome c and negatively charged groups on the isolated cytochrome preparations. 相似文献

Ferredoxin has been chemically cross-linked to thylakoids by using N-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide. The membranes thus treated became able to photoreduce cytochrome c and to catalyze the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase reaction without adding exogenous ferredoxin. Preincubation of thylakoids with an antibody against ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase before carbodiimide treatment or removal of the reductase by mild trypsin treatment after the cross-linking reaction did not alter the cytochrome c photoreduction activity of the treated membranes. Two independent binding sites of ferredoxin to thylakoids are thus inferred: one site is shown to be the membrane-bound reductase, the second is suggested to be at the level of the photosystem I complex. 相似文献

The routes of microsomal electron flow to the three terminal oxidative enzymes, the mixed function oxidase, the fatty acyl CoA desaturase, and the lipid peroxidase have been examined by the use of specific antibodies, by alteration of electron transfer enzyme levels, and with the inhibitor NADP+. From these studies a number of conclusions are drawn: (1) NADH-supported lipid peroxidation utilizes NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, but electron flow does not go via cytochrome b5. (2) The positive modifier effect of type I substrates on NADPH-driven cytochrome P-450 reduction is seen also with NADH-supported cytochrome P-450 reductase activity. The latter reaction proceeds via cytochrome b5 while the former does not. (3) Cross-reactivity can occur between NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, but at a rate too slow to support most reactions. (4) Cytochrome b5 appears to exist in two pools; one pool is readily inhibited by antibody and the other pool is either inaccessible to or incompletely inhibited by antibody. The various cytochrome b5-dependent reactions show different abilities to use the noninhibited hemoprotein. NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity and NADH-synergism appear to utilize only the former pool and are completely inhibitable by antibody. Other NADH-supported reactions (Δ9-desaturation and mixedfunction oxidation) utilize the total cytochrome b5 population. Fortification studies show that the extra bound cytochrome b5 is distributed in the same manner as the endogenous cytochrome b5. 相似文献

The effects of monoclonal antibodies to bovine and Paracoccus denitrificans cytochromes c (Kuo, L.M. and Davies, H.C. (1983) Mol. Immunol. 20, 827-838) in the reactions of the cytochromes c with cytochrome c oxidase, reductase and peroxidase were studied. Spectrophotometric assays were employed, under conditions where binding of cytochrome c to the enzymes appears to be rate-limiting. Less than stoichiometric amounts of antibodies to P. denitrificans cytochrome c added to the cytochrome rendered some of it nonoxidizable or nonreducible by the P. denitrificans membrane-bound electron transport system and decreased the rate constant with the remaining cytochrome c. The antibodies appear to affect both electron transport reactions (blocking effects) with the oxidase and reductase and binding effects (effects on rate constants) and to distinguish between the two. Different ratios of antibody site to cytochrome c gave different extents of blocking of the reductase as compared with the oxidase reaction. Differences were also apparent in the effect of these antibodies on the reaction of yeast peroxidase and the oxidase with the P. denitrificans cytochrome c. Antibodies to bovine and P. denitrificans cytochromes c had considerably less effect on the reactions of the bovine cytochrome with bovine oxidase and reductase. One antibody was inhibitory to the oxidase reaction with bovine cytochrome c, but not to that with the reductase. Also, an antibody which inhibited the oxidase reaction had no effect on the reaction with yeast peroxidase. The data give evidence that the interaction areas on cytochrome c for oxidase and reductase and peroxidase are not identical, although they may be nearby. 相似文献

A single species of tryptophan-59 formylated cytochrome c with a half-reduction potential of 0.085 ± 0.01 V at pH 7.0 was used to study its catalytic and functional properties. The spectral properties of the modified cytochrome show that the 6th ligand position is open to reaction with azide, cyanide, and carbon monoxide. Formylated cytochrome c binds to cytochrome c depleted rat liver and pigeon heart mitochondria with the precise stoichiometry of two modified cytochrome c molecules per molecule of cytochrome a (KD of approx 0.1 μm). Formylated cytochrome c was reducible by ascorbate and was readily oxidized by cytochrome c oxidase. The apparent Km value of the oxidase for the formylated cytochrome c was six times higher than for the native cytochrome and the apparent V was smaller. Formylated cytochrome c does not restore the oxygen uptake in C-depleted mitochondria but inhibits, in a competitive manner, the oxygen uptake induced by the addition of native cytochrome c. Formylated cytochrome c was inactive in the reaction with mitochondrial NADH-cytochrome c reductase but was able to accept electrons through the microsomal NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. 相似文献

(1) The role of the ubiquinone pool in the reactions of the cyclic electron-transfer chain has been investigated by observing the effects of reduction of the ubiquinone pool on the kinetics and extent of the cytochrome and electrochromic carotenoid absorbance changes following flash illumination. (2) In the presence of antimycin, flash-induced reduction of cytochrome b-561 is dependent on a coupled oxidation of ubiquinol. The ubiquinol oxidase site of the ubiquinol:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase catalyses a concerted reaction in which one electron is transferred to a high-potential chain containing cytochromes c1 and c2, the Rieske-type iron-sulfur center, and the reaction center primary donor, and a second electron is transferred to a low-potential chain containing cytochromes b-566 and b-561. (3) The rate of reduction of cytochrome b-561 in the presence of antimycin has been shown to reflect the rate of turnover of the ubiquinol oxidase site. This diagnostic feature has been used to measure the dependence of the kinetics of the site on the ubiquinol concentration. Over a limited range of concentration (0–3 mol ubiquinol/mol cytochrome b-561), the kinetics showed a second-order process, first order with respect to ubiquinol from the pool. At higher ubiquinol concentrations, other processes became rate determining, so that above approx. 25 mol ubiquinol/mol cytochrome b-561, no further increase in rate was seen. (4) The kinetics and extents of cytochrome b-561 reduction following a flash in the presence of antimycin, and of the antimycin-sensitive reduction of cytochrome c1 and c2, and the slow phase of the carotenoid change, have been measured as a function of redox potential over a wide range. The initial rate for all these processes increased on reduction of the suspension over the range between 180 and 100 mV (pH 7). The increase in rate occurred as the concentration of ubiquinol in the pool increased on reduction, and could be accounted for in terms of the increased rate of ubiquinol oxidation. It is not necessary to postulate the presence of a tightly bound quinone at this site with altered redox properties, as has been previously assumed. (5) The antimycin-sensitive reactions reflect the turnover of a second catalytic site of the complex, at which cytochrome b-561 ix oxidized in an electrogenic reaction. We propose that ubiquinone is reduced at this site with a mechanism similar to that of the two-electron gate of the reaction center. We suggest that antimycin binds at this site, and displaces the quinone species so that all reactions at the site are inhibited. (6) In coupled chromatophores, the turnover of the ubiquinone reductase site can be measured by the antimycin-sensitive slow phase of the electrochromic carotenoid change. At redox potentials higher than 180 mV, where the pool is completely oxidized, the maximal extent of the slow phase is half that at 140 mV, where the pool contains approx. 1 mol ubiquinone/mol cytochrome b-561 before the flash. At both potentials, cytochrome b-561 became completely reduced following one flash in the presence of antimycin. The results are interpreted as showing that at potentials higher than 180 mV, ubiquinol stoichiometric with cytochrome b-561 reaches the complex from the reaction center. The increased extent of the carotenoid change, when one extra ubiquinol is available in the pool, is interpreted as showing that the ubiquinol oxidase site turns over twice, and the ubiquinone reductase sites turns over once, for a complete turnover of the ubiquinol:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase complex, and the net oxidation of one ubiquinol/complex. (7) The antimycin-sensitive reduction of cytochrome c1 and c2 is shown to reflect the second turnover of the ubiquinol oxidase site. (8) We suggest that, in the presence of antimycin, the ubiquinol oxidase site reaches a quasi equilibrium with ubiquinol from the pool and the high- and low-potential chains, and that the equilibrium constant of the reaction catalysed constrains the site to the single turnover under most conditions. (9) The results are discussed in the context of a detailed mechanism. The modified Q-cycle proposed is described by physicochemical parameters which account well for the results reported. 相似文献

Intact glyoxysomes were isolated from castor bean endosperm on isometric Percoll gradients. The matrix enzyme, malate dehydrogenase, was 80% latent in the intact glyoxysomes. NADH:ferricyanide and NADH:cytochrome c reductase activities were measured in intact and deliberately broken organelles. The latencies of these redox activities were found to be about half the malate dehydrogenase latency. Incubation of intact organelles with trypsin eliminated NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity, but did not affect NADH:ferricyanide reductase activity. NADH oxidase and transhydrogenase activities were negligible in isolated glyoxysomes. Mersalyl and Cibacron blue 3GA were potent inhibitors of NADH:cytochrome c reductase. Quinacrine, Ca2+ and Mg2+ stimulated NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity in intact glyoxysomes. The data suggest that some electron donor sites are on the matrix side and some electron acceptor sites are on the cytosolic side of the membrane. 相似文献

The enzymic activity of testis microsomes which mediates cleavage of the 2-carbon side chain from the 17-position of 21-carbon steroids is a mixed-function oxidase and recent reports have suggested that cytochrome P-450 is a participant in this reaction. The studies reported in this communication were intended to demonstrate that the flavoprotein, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, is also a participant in the reaction.The cleavage activity (referred to here as 17,20-lyase) from rat testis microsomes was shown to be inhibited by a number of agents which are electron acceptors for NADPH cytochrome c reductase. This finding indicates that the lyase activity is inhibited by diversion of electron flow and, more specifically, that the point of interruption is at the reductase. Cytochrome c, itself, is a noncompetitive inhibitor of lyase activity when NADPH is substrate. Lyase and reductase activity were diminished to an equal extent by heating a microsomal suspension. An antibody to cytochrome e reductase was prepared after purification of the reductase from rat liver. This antibody caused a parallel and equal reduction of activity of the lyase and reductase. These data show that the reductase and lyase activities are closely linked and suggest that the reductase functions as an electron carrier for the reduction of P-450. 相似文献

The reaction of the cytochrome c oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) of Paracoccus denitrificans cytoplasmic membranes with the endogenous cytochrome c of the membranes was studied, as well as its interaction with added exogenous cytochrome c from P. denitrificans or bovine heart. The polarographic method was employed, using N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine plus ascorbate to reduce the cytochrome c. We found that overall electron transport can proceed maximally while the cytochrome c remains membrane bound; NADH or succinoxidase activities were not inhibited by the addition of substances which bind the P. denitrificans cytochrome c strongly. In contrast to our observations with the spectrophotometric method (Smith, L., Davies, H.C. and Nava, M.E. (1976) Biochemistry 15, 5827–5831), in the polarographic assays the membrane-bound oxidase reacts with about equal rapidity with exogenous bovine and P. denitrificans cytochromes c. The reaction of the oxidase with the endogenous cytochrome c proceeds at high rates and preferentially to that with exogenous cytochrome c; the reaction with the latter, but not the former is inhibited by positively charged poly(l-lysine). The cytochrome c and the oxidase appear to be very closely associated on the membrane. 相似文献

Electron transport in theParacoccus denitrificans respiratory chain system is considerably more rapid when it includes the membrane-bound cytochromec
552 than with either solubleParacoccus c
550 or bovine cytochromec; a pool function for cytochromec is not necessary. Low concentrations ofParacoccus or bovine cytochromec stimulate the oxidase activity. This observation could explain the multiphasic Scatchard plots which are obtained. A negatively charged area on the back side ofParacoccus c which is not present in mitochondrialc could be a control mechanism forParacoccus reactions.Paracoccus oxidase and reductase reactions with bovinec show the same properties as mammalian systems; and this is true ofParacoccus oxidase reactions with its own soluble cytochromec if added polycation masks the negatively charged area. Evidence for different oxidase and reductase reaction sites on cytochromec include: (1) stimulation of the oxidase but not reductase by a polycation; (2) differences in the inhibition of the oxidase and reductases by monoclonal antibodies toParacoccus cytochromec; and (3) reaction of another bacterial cytochromec withParacoccus reductases but not oxidase. Rapid electron transport occurs in cytochromec-less mutants ofParacoccus, suggesting that the reactions result from collision of diffusing complexes. 相似文献

A goat antibody produced against bovine adrenal ferredoxin has been employed to establish immunochemically the involvement of adrenal ferredoxin in the cholesterol side-chain cleavage reaction catalyzed by mammalian adrenal mitochondria. When added to preparations of bovine adrenocortical mitochondria, this antibody was found to inhibit the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone and progesterone, the 11β-hydroxylation of deoxycorticosterone and the NADPH-dependent reduction of cytochrome c. These observations demonstrate that, similar to the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and steroid 11β-hydroxylase reactions, adrenal ferredoxin is also required for the oxidative cleavage of the cholesterol side-chain catalyzed by bovine adrenocortical mitochondria.The goat antibody to bovine adrenal ferredoxin was also found to interact with the comparable iron-sulfur proteins present in mitochondria prepared from sheep, rat, mouse, cat, dog, guinea pig, rabbit, and human adrenals. The interaction of the antibody with these iron-sulfur proteins resulted in the inhibition of both the cholesterol side-chain cleavage and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities catalyzed by these adrenal mitochondria. The NADH-dependent reduction of cytochrome c catalyzed by mammalian adrenal mitochondria was not inhibited by the goat antibody to adrenal ferredoxin. These results demonstrate the immunochemical similarity existing among mammalian adrenal ferredoxins and their involvement in the adrenal cholesterol side-chain cleavage reaction. 相似文献

A reconstituted mixed-function oxidase system, containing the major β-naphthoflavone-induced isozyme of rat liver cytochrome P-450 bound benzo[a]pyrene covalently in the presence of NADPH. NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase was required for binding and a maximum rate of adduct formation was obtained at 8 units of reductase per nmol cytochrome P-450. Phosphatidylcholine inhibited this reaction. Benzo[a]pyrene was bound to the cytochrome, but not to the reductase, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Approximately 6 molecules of benzo[a]pyrene bound to each molecule cytochrome P-450 during prolonged incubations. No binding occurred when the β-naphthoflavone-induced isozyme of cytochrome P-450 was replaced by the major isozyme induced by phenobarbital, but both cytochromes incorporated benzo[a]pyrene to approximately the same extent when they were incubated together in the presence of the reductase and NADPH. Metabolically activated benzo[a]pyrene also bound covalently to purified epoxide hydrodrolase, when this enzyme was added to the reconstituted mixed-function oxidase system. 相似文献

A water-soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, has been used to cross-link horse heart cytochrome c to spinach chloroplast plastocyanin. The complex was formed in yields up to 90%, and was found to have a stoichiometry of 1 mol plastocyanin per mol cytochrome c. The cytochrome c in the complex was fully reducible by ascorbate and potassium ferrocyanide, and had a redox potential only 25 mV less than that of native cytochrome c. The complex was nearly completely inactive towards succinate-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome c oxidase, suggesting that the heme crevice region of cytochrome c was blocked. We propose that the carbodiimide promoted the formation of amide cross-links between lysine amino groups surrounding the heme crevice of cytochrome c and complementary carboxyl groups on plastocyanin. It is of interest that the high-affinity site for cytochrome c binding on bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase has recently been found to involve a sequence of subunit II with some homology to the copper-binding sequence of plastocyanin. 相似文献

The aryl azide, 2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenylazide, was reacted with horse heart cytochrome c to give a photoaffinity-labeled derivative of this heme protein. The modified cytochrome c, with one to two dinitroazidophenyl groups per mole of the enzyme, has a half-reduction potential the same (± 10 mV) as native cytochrome c. The dissociation constant for the modified cytochrome c from cytochrome c-depleted mitochondrial membranes and the apparent Km for the reaction with cytochrome c oxidase were each five to six times greater than the values for native cytochrome c. Irradiation of cytochrome c-depleted mitochondrial membranes supplemented with an excess of photoaffinity-labeled cytochrome c resulted in covalent binding of the derivative to the mitochondrial membranes. Fractionation of the irradiated mitochondria in the presence of detergents and salts followed by chromatography on agarose, Bio-Gel A, showed that labeled cytochrome c was bound covalently to cytochrome c oxidase in a 1:1 molar complex. The covalently linked cytochrome c-cytochrome c oxidase complex was active in mediating the electron transfer between N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine/ascorbate and the oxidase. 相似文献

Bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase and rat liver mitochondria were crosslinked in the presence and absence of cytochrome c. Biimidate treatment of purified cytochrome oxidase, which results in the crosslinkage of all of the oxidase protomers except subunit I when ? 20% of the free amines are modified, inhibits ascorbate-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylene diamine oxidase activity. Intermolecular crosslinking of cytochrome oxidase molecules, which results in the formation of large enzyme aggregates displaying rotational correlation times ? 1 ms, does not affect oxidase activity. Crosslinking of mitochondria covalently binds the cytochrome bc1 and aa3 complexes to cytochrome c, and inhibits steady-state oxidase activity. Addition of cytochrome c to purified cytochrome oxidase or to cytochrome c-depleted mitoplasts increases this inhibition slightly. Cytochrome c oligomers act as competitive inhibitors of native cytochrome c; however, crosslinking of cytochrome c to cytochrome c-depleted mitoplasts or purified cytochrome oxidase results in a catalytically inactive complex. These experiments indicate that cytochrome c oxidase subunit interactions are required for activity, and that cytochrome c mobility may be essential for electron transport between cytochrome c reductase and oxidase. 相似文献

Three-dimensional structures of cytochrome c oxidase vesicle crystals in negative stain 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have investigated the structure of cytochrome c oxidase vesicle crystals by analysis at 20 Å resolution of electron micrographs of negatively stained specimens. The map clearly shows the shape of the part of the cytochrome c oxidase molecule which protrudes from the lipid bilayer. On the side of the membrane corresponding to the cytoplasmic face of the mitochondrial inner membrane, the molecule projects over 50 Å into solution. About half of the mass of the protein is in this domain, which contains the cytochrome c binding site. On the side of the membrane corresponding to the matrix face, no features are observed, which at this resolution means the protein protrudes less than 20 Å. In vesicle crystals, and probably in the mitochondrion, cytochrome c oxidase monomers are closely paired as dimers, with a clear cleft showing the boundary between monomers. 相似文献

The reactivity of cytochromesc derived from various organisms withPseudomonas aeruginosa nitrite reductase and cow cytochrome oxidase has been studied.Generally, cytochromesc isolated from primitive organisms react very rapidly with the bacterial nitrite reductase but do not react with cow cytochrome oxidase while those from higher organisms react poorly with the nitrite reductase but react very rapidly with the animal oxidase. The reactivity of cytochromec with the bacterial nitrite reductase reflects very well the evolutionary position of the organism from which it is isolated, while that with cow cytochrome oxidase seems to be related to the extent of adaptation of the parent organism to molecular oxygen. The results obtained in the present investigation suggests that cytochromec molecule which reacts very rapidly with the bacterial nitrite reductase but does not react with cow cytochrome oxidase has evolved to that which reacts very poorly with the nitrite reductuase but reacts very rapidly with the animal oxidase. It is also inferred that the evolution of cytochromec molecule may be caused by the evolution of cytochrome oxidase, and that the latter may be intimately related to genesis of molecular oxygen in the biosphere.Special Symposium on Photochemistry and the Origins of Life, Sixth International Congress on Photobiology, Bochum, Germany. 相似文献

The steady-state kinetics of purified yeast cytochrome c oxidase were investigated at low ionic strength where the electrostatic interaction with cytochrome c is maximized. In 10 mM cacodylate/Tris (pH 6.5) the oxidation kinetics of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c were sigmoidal with a Hill coefficient of 2.35, suggesting cooperative binding. The half-saturation point was 1.14 μM. Horse cytochrome c exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a higher affinity (Km = 0.35 μM) and a 100% higher maximal velocity.In 67 mM phosphate the Hill coefficient for yeast cytochrome c decreased to 1.42, and the species differences in Hill coefficients were lessened. Under the latter conditions, a yeast enzyme preparation partially depleted of phospholipids was activated on addition of diphosphatidylglycerol liposomes. When the enzyme was incorporated into sonicated yeast promitochondrial particles the apparent Km for horse cytochrome c was considerably lower than the value for the isolated enzyme.ATP was found to inhibit both the isolated oxidase and the membrane-bound enzyme. With the isolated enzyme in 10 mM cacodylate/Tris, 3 mM ATP increased the half-saturation point with yeast cytochrome c 3-fold, without altering the maximal velocity or the Hill coefficient. 67 mM phosphate abolished the inhibition of the isolated oxidase by ATP.The increase in affinity for cytochrome c produced by binding the oxidase to the membrane was not observed in the presence of 3 mM ATP, with the result that the membrane-bound enzyme was more sensitive to inhibition by ATP. ADP was a less effective inhibitor than ATP, and did not prevent the inhibition by ATP.It is proposed that non-specific electrostatic binding of cytochrome c to phospholipid membranes, followed by rapid lateral diffusion, is responsible for the dependence of the affinity on the amount and nature of the phospholipids and on the ionic strength.ATP may interfere with the membrane-facilitated binding of cytochrome c by a specific electrostatic interaction with the membrane or by binding to cytochrome c. 相似文献
