The crystal structures of sperm whale metmyoglobins reconstituted with three kinds of modified hemes, 2,4-diisopropyldeuteroheme, 2-isopropyl-4-vinyldeuteroheme, and 2-vinyl-4-isopropyldeuteroheme, have been determined and refined at 2.2 A resolution to R = 0.216, 0.219, and 0.195, respectively. All the crystals of these myoglobins are isomorphous with that of native metmyoglobin. The 2-vinyl-4-isopropyldeuteroheme was found to be in a reverse orientation, in which the heme plane is rotated by 180 degrees about an axis through the alpha-gamma-meso carbons, whereas the orientations of the other two hemes were the same as that of protoheme in native myoglobin. In the myoglobins with 2,4-diisopropyldeuteroheme and 2-vinyl-4-isopropyldeuteroheme, both of which have lower oxygen affinities than native myoglobin, the bulky isopropyl side chain pushes Phe 43 0.7 A toward His 64 (the distal histidine) in the former, and the whole E helix at most 1.5 A, including a 0.7 A shift of the His 64 imidazole ring, in the latter. The changes of the structures prevent His 64 from forming a hydrogen bond with the liganded oxygen molecule, so that these two modified myoglobins show low oxygen affinities. On the other hand, there is no such drastic displacement in myoglobin with 2-isopropyl-4-vinyldeuteroheme, which has a slightly higher oxygen affinity than native myoglobin. 相似文献

In order to study the effects of chemical modifications of the vinyl groups of heme on oxygen and carbon monoxide binding to myoglobin, apomyoglobins from horse heart were reconstituted with six different hemins with various side chains. Laser flash photolysis experiments of these reconstituted myoglobins showed that the combination rate constants for oxygen (k') and carbon monoxide (l') were closely related to the electron-attractive properties of the side chains. The k' values obtained in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, at 20 degrees were 0.83 (meso-), 2.4 (deutero-), 1.1 (reconstituted proto-), 1.2 (native proto-), 1.5 (2-formyl-4-vinyl-), 1.9 (2-vinyl-4-formyl-), and 2.7 X 10(7) M-1 S-1 (2,4-diformylmyoglobins), and the corresponding l' values were 2.8, 18, 4.8, 5.1, 7.1, 15, and 35 X 10(5) M-1 S-1, respectively. These rate constants tend to increase as the electron-withdrawing power of the side chains increases, indicating that reduced electron density of the iron atom of heme in myoglobin favors the combination reaction for both oxygen and carbon monoxide. Equilibrium constants (L) between carbon monoxide and various myoglobins were also determined by measuring the partition coefficients (M) between oxygen and carbon monoxide for the myoglobins, and were also found to be closely related to the electronic properties (pK3 of porphyrin) of the heme side chains. The equilibrium association constants for carbon monoxide thus obtained increased with a decrease in pK3 value of the porphyrin. This order was completely opposite to the case of the oxygen binding reaction. The dissociation rate constants for oxygen (k) and carbon monoxide (l) were calculated from the equilibrium and the combination rate constants. The dissociation rate constants showed a similar characteristic to the combination rate constants and increased with the increase in electron attractivity of heme side chains. The concomitant increase in both the combination and dissociation rate constants with increase in electronegativity of the iron atom suggests that these reactions have different rate determining steps, although such a reaction process is contradictory to the generally accepted concept that in a reversible reaction, both on and off reactions proceed through the same transition state. In the on reaction sigma bond formation appears to be dominant, while in the off reaction eta bond break-up is more important. 相似文献

Effects of substitution of vinyl groups of hemin with formyl groups on the optical and ligand binding properties of horse heart ferric myoglobin were investigated. The peak positions as well as the line shapes of the absorption spectra of the ferric derivatives of three kinds of formylmyoglobin, 2-vinyl-4-formyl-, 2-formyl-4-vinyl-, and 2,4-diformylmyoglobins depend on the number and the position of the formyl groups. Absorption maxima in the Soret region of the acid forms of these ferric formylmyoglobins in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0, at 20 degrees were 415.2, 422, and 429 nm, respectively. The acid forms of these formylmyoglobins exhibit absorption spectra of the mixture of high- and low spin states at ambient temperature. Since proto-, deutero- and mesomyoglobins have a high spin state under the same condition, the increase of the low spin iron in these formylmyoglobins may be due to the strong electron withdrawal by the formyl groups toward the periphery of the porphyrin ring. The affinities of these ferric formylmyoglobins and protomyoglobin for N3-, F-, OCN-, and SCN- increased in the order of proto-, monoformyl-monovinyl-, 2,4-diformyl-myoglobin, which corresponds to the increasing order of electron-withdrawing power of the porphyrin side chains. The pKa values of the acid-alkaline transition decreased in the same order. Although the ferric forms of the two isomeric monoformyl-monovinylmyoglobins exhibited different optical spectra, the dissociation constants of the complexes of these isomers for various ligands were similar to each other. The pKa values of the acid-alkaline transition were also similar. These results indicate that affinities of ferric myoglobin for ligands, in contrast to those of the ferrous form for oxygen and carbon monoxide (Sono, M., and Asakura, T. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 5527-5232 and Sono, M., Smith, P.D., McCray, J.A., and Asakura, T. (1976) J. Biol. Chem 251, 1418-1426), are not affected by the position of modifications at the two vinyl groups, but are determinedby the number of the formyl groups and that two vinyl groups at position 2 and 4 are equivalent in the binding of various ligands by ferric myoglobin. The electron density of the ferric iron appears to be similar for the two isomeric monoformyl-monovinylmyoglobins. 相似文献

The crystal structures of sperm whale metmyoglobins reconstituted with four modified hemes, isopemptoheme, pemptoheme, 2-ethyldeuteroheme, and 4-ethyldeuteroheme, have been determined and refined at 2.2 A resolution to R = 0.217, 0.218, 0.213, and 0.222, respectively. All the crystals of these myoglobins are isomorphous with that of native metmyoglobin. The structural changes of the modified myoglobin from the native myoglobin were examined on difference Fourier maps; the orientation of 4-ethyldeuteroheme in the heme pocket is such that the heme is rotated by 180 degrees about an axis through the alpha-gamma-meso carbons, whereas the orientations of the other three hemes are the same as that of the protoheme in the native myoglobin. The changes of the structures around the heme become greater in the order of isopemptoheme, 2-ethyldeuteroheme less than pemptoheme less than 4-ethyldeuteroheme. The magnitudes of the changes seem to be related to the oxygen affinities of these four reconstituted myoglobins. 相似文献

Spectrophotometric titration of ferric octaethylporphyrin (OEP) with apomyoglobin revealed their 1:1 complex formation. Proton NMR spectrum of the OEP-reconstituted deoxymyoglobin exhibits an exchangeable peak from the proximal F8 histidine at 78.5 ppm, indicating the incorporation of iron OEP into the heme cavity to form the Fe-N(His-F8) bond. OEP metmyoglobin without external ligand has an iron-bound water that deprotonates above pH 7.8. Affinities of the aquometmyoglobin for several ionic ligands were comparable with those of native metmyoglobin. Deoxy OEP myoglobin at 25 degrees C reversibly binds oxygen with an affinity of P50 = 0.8 mm Hg, which is similar to that of native protein. These results indicate that iron OEP serves as a prosthetic group for myoglobin with normal function, despite the significant structural and electronic difference between OEP and protoporphyrin. The unexpected functional similarity between native and OEP myoglobins was interpreted in terms of a structural perturbation at the heme distal site caused by introduction of bulky OEP into the heme pocket. 相似文献

Time courses for NO, O2, CO, methyl and ethyl isocyanide rebinding to native and mutant sperm whale myoglobins were measured at 20 degrees C following 17-ns and 35-ps laser excitation pulses. His64 (E7) was replaced with Gly, Val, Leu, Phe, and Gln, and Val68 (E11) was replaced with Ala, Ile, and Phe. For both NO and O2, the effective picosecond quantum yield of unliganded geminate intermediates was roughly 0.2 and independent of the amino acids at positions 64 and 68. Geminate recombination of NO was very rapid; 90% rebinding occurred within 0.5-1.0 ns for all of the myoglobins examined; and except for the Gly64 and Ile68 mutants, the fitted recombination rate parameters were little influenced by the size and polarity of the amino acid at position 64 and the size of the residue at position 68. The rates of NO recombination and ligand movement away from the iron atom in the Gly64 mutant increased 3-4-fold relative to native myoglobin. For Ile68 myoglobin, the first geminate rate constant for NO rebinding decreased approximately 6-fold, from 2.3 x 10(10) s-1 for native myoglobin to 3.8 x 10(9) s-1 for the mutant. No picosecond rebinding processes were observed for O2, CO, and isocyanide rebinding to native and mutant myoglobins; all of the observed geminate rate constants were less than or equal to 3 x 10(8) s-1. The rebinding time courses for these ligands were analyzed in terms of a two-step consecutive reaction scheme, with an outer kinetic barrier representing ligand movement into and out of the protein and an inner barrier representing binding to the heme iron atom by ligand occupying the distal portion of the heme pocket. Substitution of apolar amino acids for His64 decreased the absolute free energies of the outer and inner kinetic barriers and the well for non-covalently bound O2 and CO by 1 to 1.5 kcal/mol, regardless of size. In contrast, the His64 to Gln mutation caused little change in the barrier heights for all ligands, showing that the polar nature of His64 inhibits both the bimolecular rate of ligand entry into myoglobin and the unimolecular rate of binding to the iron atom from within the protein. Increasing the size of the position 68(E11) residue in the series Ala to Val (native) to Ile caused little change in the rate of O2 migration into myoglobin or the equilibrium constant for noncovalent binding but did decrease the unimolecular rate for iron-O2 bond formation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Identification of the titrating group in the heme cavity of myoglobin. Evidence for the heme-protein pi-pi interaction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The pH dependence of the proton NMR chemical shifts of met-cyano and deoxy forms of native and reconstituted myoglobins reflects a structural transition in the heme pocket modulated by a single proton with pK 5.1-5.6. Comparison of this pH dependence of sperm whale and elephant myoglobin and that of the former protein reconstituted with esterified hemin eliminates both the distal histidine as well as the heme propionates as the titrating residue. Reconstitution of sperm whale met-cyano myoglobin with hemin modified at the 2,4-positions leads to a systematic variation in the pK for the structural transition, thus indicating the presence of a coupling between the titrating group and the heme pi system. The results are consistent with histidine FG3 (His-FG3) being the titrating group, and a donor-acceptor pi-pi interaction between its imidazole and the heme is proposed. 相似文献

When studying oxygen binding by myoglobins of diving animals it is shown that half-saturation of myoglobins obtained from the muscles of animals who can stop the external respiration for a long period of time occurs at oxygen strength of 0.62-0.67 mm Hg. Such indices of oxygenation of respiratory hemoprotein of muscles are characteristic of most mammals. Temperature being decreased from 37 to 15 degrees C, myoglobin affinity to oxygen considerably increases. 相似文献

Myoglobin was isolated from the radular muscle of the archaeogastropod mollusc Turbo cornutus (Turbinidae). This myoglobin is a monomer carrying one protoheme group; the molecular mass was estimated by SDS–PAGE to be about 40 kDa, 2.5 times larger than that of usual myoglobin. The cDNA-derived amino acid sequence of 375 residues was determined, of which 327 residues were identified directly by chemical sequencing of internal peptides. The amino acid sequence of Turbo myoglobin showed no significant homology with any other usual 16-kDa globins, but showed 36% identity with the myoglobin from Sulculus diversicolor (Haliotiidae) and 27% identity with human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, a tryptophan-degrading enzyme containing heme. Thus, the Turbo myoglobin can be counted among the myoglobins which evolved from the same ancestor as that of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. The absorbance ratio of γ to CT maximum (γ/CT) of Turbo metmyoglobin was 17.8, indicating that this myoglobin probably possesses a histidine residue near the sixth coordination position of heme iron. The Turbo myoglobin binds oxygen reversibly. Its oxygen equilibrium properties are similar to those of Sulculus myoglobin, giving P 50 = 3.5 mm Hg at pH 7.4 and 20°C. The pH dependence of autoxidation of Turbo oxymyoglobin was quite different from that of mammalian myoglobin, suggesting a unique protein folding around the heme cavity of Turbo myoglobin. A kinetic analysis of autoxidation indicates that the amino acid residue with pK a = 5.4 is involved in the reaction. The autoxidation reaction was enhanced markedly at pH 7.6, but not at pH 5.5 and 6.3 in the presence of tryptophan. We suggest that a noncatalytic binding site for tryptophan, in which several dissociation groups with pK a ≥ 7.6 are involved, remains in Turbo myoglobin as a relic of molecular evolution. 相似文献

Nitric oxide myoglobin (MbNO) at 300 K was photodissociated with 405 nm pulses. The NO recombination in several mutants of iron and cobalt myoglobins was investigated at a time resolution of ca. 70 fs. The geminate recombination of NO was nonexponential on sub-nanosecond time scales. For both metals, the change of the detailed structure of the heme pocket (position 68 mutations) caused significant changes in the rates of recombination; however, the metal substitution influenced the recombination much less than did amino acid substitution. The results indicate a primary role of the heme pocket structure in the dynamics, and they suggest that proximal protein relaxation is not the limiting factor in the geminate recombination process. Recombination in cobalt derivatives is somewhat more efficient on the sub-nanosecond time scales than in corresponding iron myoglobins, consistent with other results that show a greater intrinsic reactivity toward the NO of cobalt compared with the iron heme. A comparison of results using Soret band excitation with previous Q-state excitation studies demonstrates that the ligand dissociates with a similar kinetic energy in both cases, suggesting fast intramolecular energy redistribution before dissociation. 相似文献

Hemoglobins and myoglobins are some of the best studied proteins. They are distributed in animals, plants and bacteria, and the characteristic two intron-three exon structure is widely conserved in animal globin genes (Jhiang et al., 1988). To date, all of the hemoglobins and myoglobins are believed to have a common origin, and so they are considered to be homologous. We have isolated a completely new type of myoglobin from the red muscle of the abalone Sulculus diversicolor aquatilis. The myoglobin consists of an unusual 41 kDa polypeptide chain, contains one heme per chain and forms a homodimer under physiological conditions. The cDNA-derived amino acid sequence of Sulculus myoglobin showed no significant homology with any other globins, but, surprisingly, showed high homology (35% identity) with human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, a tryptophan degrading enzyme containing heme. This clearly indicates that Sulculus myoglobin evolved from a gene for indoleamine dioxygenase, but not from a globin gene. Sulculus myoglobin lacks the enzyme activity of indoleamine dioxygenase. However, in the presence of tryptophan, the autoxidation rate of oxymyoglobin was greatly accelerated, suggesting that a tryptophan binding site remains near or in the heme cavity as a relic of the molecular evolution. 相似文献

Secondary amine monooxygenase from Pseudomonas aminovorans grown on trimethylamine has been purified 265-fold to apparent homogeneity. The purified enzyme exhibits a specific activity of 14.7 mumol of NADPH oxidized per min per mg of protein, a native molecular weight of 210,000, and nondisulfide-linked subunits of molecular weight 42,000, 36,000, and 24,000, each of which is required for activity. The enzyme is extremely labile during purification; rapid handling and the presence of 5% ethanol are essential to enzyme stability. Storage at 77 K in the presence of NADH (1 mM) also confers considerable stability to the purified enzyme. The heme prosthetic group in the enzyme has been identified as protoporphyrin IX. The quantification of prosthetic group components reveals the presence of 1.6 mol of flavin as FMN, 2.0 mol of heme iron, 4.0 mol of acid-soluble (nonheme) iron, and 3.6 mol of free sulfide/210,000 molecular weight enzyme. Ferric and ferrous-CO secondary amine monooxygenase exhibit electronic absorption spectra that are very similar to those of analogous myoglobin derivatives and, therefore, quite distinct from parallel forms of cytochrome P-450, the most extensively studied heme iron-containing monooxygenase. Like myoglobin and, again, in contrast to P-450, this enzyme forms a very stable dioxygen complex. In fact, it is this oxygen-bound form of the enzyme that is obtained from the purification procedure. Once again, the absorption spectrum of oxygenated secondary amine monooxygenase is nearly identical to that of oxymyoglobin. The spectroscopic similarities between secondary amine monooxygenase and myoglobin suggest the presence of an endogenous histidine fifth ligand to the heme iron of the enzymes. 相似文献

In this work we report the thermal behavior (10-300 K) of the Soret band lineshape of deoxy and carbonmonoxy derivatives of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and horse myoglobins together with their carbon monoxide recombination kinetics after flash photolysis; the results are compared to analogous data relative to sperm whale myoglobin. The Soret band profile is modeled as a Voigt function that accounts for the coupling with high and low frequency vibrational modes, while inhomogeneous broadening is taken into account with suitable distributions of purely electronic transition frequencies. This analysis makes it possible to isolate the various contributions to the overall lineshape that; in turn, give information on structural and dynamic properties of the systems studied. The optical spectroscopy data point out sizable differences between elephant myoglobin on one hand and horse and sperm whale myoglobins on the other. These differences, more pronounced in deoxy derivatives, involve both the structure and dynamics of the heme pocket; in particular, elephant myoglobin appears to be characterized by larger anharmonic contributions to soft modes than the other two proteins. Flash photolysis data are analyzed as sums of kinetic processes with temperature-dependent fractional amplitudes, characterized by discrete pre-exponentials and either discrete or distributed activation enthalpies. In the whole temperature range investigated the behavior of elephant myoglobin appears to be more complex than that of horse and sperm whale myoglobins, which is in agreement with the increased anharmonic contributions to soft modes found in the former protein. Thus, to satisfactorily fit the time courses for CO recombination to elephant myoglobin five distinct processes are needed, only one of which is populated over the whole temperature range investigated. The remarkable convergence and complementarity between optical spectroscopy and flash photolysis data confirms the utility of combining these two experimental techniques in order to gain new and deeper insights into the functional relevance of protein fluctuations. 相似文献

Resistance to spontaneous oxidation of oxymyoglobin of man and semi-aquatic animals (beaver, otter, musk-rat) was studied as well as the effect of 2.3-diphosphoglycerate (2.3-DPG) and carnosine on this process. The revealed differences in the autooxidation rate of the studied myoglobins are explained by differences in the conformational state of a protein globule, which more actively protects a heme (in semi-aquatic animals) from spontaneous oxidation under conditions of muscular saturation of cells with oxygen, which is confirmed by the results obtained from the analysis of the universal links of pair amino acid residues which stabilize the protein molecule, 2,3-DPG and carnosine decrease the resistance of myoglobin to autooxidation. 相似文献

We carried out the flash photolysis of oxy complexes of sperm whale myoglobin, cobalt-substituted sperm whale myoglobin, and Aplysia myoglobin. When the optical absorption spectral changes associated with the O2 rebinding were monitored on the nanosecond to millisecond time scale, we found that the transient spectra of the O2 photoproduct of sperm whale myoglobin were significantly different from the static spectra of deoxy form. This was sharply contrasted with the observations that the spectra of the CO photoproduct of sperm whale myoglobin and of the O2 photoproducts of cobalt-substituted sperm whale myoglobin and Aplysia myoglobin are identical to the corresponding spectra of their deoxy forms. These results led us to suggest the presence of a fairly stable transient species in the O2 photodissociation from the oxy complex of sperm whale myoglobin, which has a protein structure different from the deoxy form. We denoted the O2 photo-product to be Mb*. In the time-resolved resonance Raman measurements, the nu Fe-His mode of Mb* gave the same value as that of the deoxy form, indicating that the difference in the optical absorption spectra is possibly due to the structural difference at the heme distal side rather than those of the proximal side. The structure of Mb* is discussed in relation to the dynamic motion of myoglobin in the O2 entry to or exit from the heme pocket. Comparing the structural characteristics of several myoglobins employed, we suggested that the formation of Mb* relates to the following two factors: a hydrogen bonding of O2 with the distal histidine, and the movement of iron upon the ligation of O2. 相似文献

Incorporation of the three synthetic hemins, Fe(III) meso-tetraalkylporphyrins with the methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl groups, into apomyoglobin was followed by spectrophotometry, and the stoichiometric complex formation was confirmed. The reconstituted myoglobins bind with an equimolar amount of cyanide to exhibit visible absorption peaks at 419, 570, and 608 nm. The spectral feature was independent of the cyanide concentrations. Proton NMR spectra of the cyanide complexes resolved the pyrrole-proton signals of the hemins in a -5 to -15-ppm region, which is comparable with that of the corresponding signals of deuterohemin-containing low-spin methemoproteins. These spectral observations indicate the presence of the NC-Fe-N(His-F8) structure in the presently reconstituted cyanide metmyoglobins. The pyrrole-proton NMR signals of the hemins in cyanide metmyoglobins appeared as a singlet, doublet, or quartet for the methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl hemin complexes, respectively. The systematic NMR spectral changes suggest the dynamic free rotation of the alkylhemins about the Fe-N(His-F8) bond. Temperature-dependent NMR spectral transition of the meso-tetraethylhemin-reconstituted myoglobin was consistent with thermally regulated dynamic free rotation of the hemin in the myoglobin heme pocket. 相似文献

Contributions of residue 45(CD3) and heme-6-propionate to the biomolecular and geminate recombination reactions of myoglobin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Overall association and dissociation rate constants were measured at 20 degrees C for O2, CO, and alkyl isocyanide binding to position 45 (CD3) mutants of pig and sperm whale myoglobins and to sperm whale myoglobin reconstituted with protoheme IX dimethyl ester. In pig myoglobin, Lys45(CD3) was replaced with Arg, His, Ser, and Glu; in sperm whale myoglobin, Arg45(CD3) was replaced with Ser and Gly. Intramolecular rebinding of NO, O2, and methyl isocyanide to Arg45, Ser45, Glu45, and Lys45(native) pig myoglobins was measured following 35-ps and 17-ns excitation pulses. The shorter, picosecond laser flash was used to examine ligand recombination from photochemically produced contact pairs, and the longer, nanosecond flash was used to measure the rebinding of ligands farther removed from the iron atom. Mutations at position 45 or esterification of the heme did not change significantly (less than or equal to 2-fold) the overall association rate constants for NO, CO, and O2 binding at room temperature. These data demonstrate unequivocally that Lys(Arg)45 makes little contribution to the outer kinetic barrier for the entry of diatomic gases into the distal pocket of myoglobin, a result that contradicts a variety of previous structural and theoretical interpretations. However, the rates of geminate recombination of NO and O2 and the affinity of myoglobin for O2 were dependent upon the basicity of residue 45. The series of substitutions Arg45, Lys45, Ser45, and Glu45 in pig myoglobin led to a 3-fold decrease in the initial rate for the intramolecular, picosecond rebinding of NO and 4-fold decrease in the geminate rate constant for the nanosecond rebinding of O2.

The contribution of nyoglobin to the oxygen uptake of red skeletal muscle was estimated from the difference in oxygen uptake with and without functional myoglobin. The oxygen uptake of bundles (25 mm long, 0.5 mm mean diameter) of muscle fibers teased from pigeon breast muscle was measured in families of steady states of oxygen pressure from 0 to 250 mm Hg. The oxygen-binding function of myoglobin, in situ in muscle fiber bundles, was abolished by treatment with nitrite of hydroxylamine, which convert oxymyoglobin in situ to high spin ferric myoglobin, or with phenylhydrazine, which converts oxymyoglobin to denatured products, or with 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine, which appears to remove myoglobin from the muslce. The oxygen uptake was again measured. At higher oxygen pressure, where oxygen availability does not limit the respiration of the fiber bundles, oxygen uptake is not affected by any of the four reagents, which is evidence that mitochondrial oxygen uptake is not impaired. At lower oxygen pressure, where oxygen uptake is one-half maximal, the steady state oxygen consumption is roughly halved by abolishing functional myoglobin. Under the steady state conditions studied, the storage function of myoglobin, being static, vanishes and the transport function stands revealed. We conclude from these experiments that myoglobin may transport a significant fraction of the oxygen consumed by muscle mitochondria. 相似文献

Spectral characterization of diarylpropane oxygenase, a novel peroxide-dependent, lignin-degrading heme enzyme 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Diarylpropane oxygenase, an H2O2-dependent lignin-degrading enzyme from the basidiomycete fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, catalyzes the oxygenation of various lignin model compounds with incorporation of a single atom of dioxygen (O2). Diarylpropane oxygenase is also capable of oxidizing some alcohols to aldehydes and/or ketones. This enzyme (Mr = 41,000) contains a single iron protoporphyrin IX prosthetic group. Previous studies revealed that the Soret maximum of the ferrous-CO complex of diarylpropane oxygenase is at approximately 420 nm, as in ferrous-CO myoglobin (Mb), and not like the approximately 450 nm absorption of the CO complex of the ubiquitous heme monooxygenase, cytochrome P-450. This spectral difference between two functionally similar heme enzymes is of interest. To elucidate the structural requirements for heme iron-based oxygenase reactions, we have compared the electronic absorption, EPR, and resonance Raman (RR) spectral properties of diarylpropane oxygenase with those of other heme proteins and enzymes of known axial ligation. The absorption spectra of native (ferric), cyano, and ferrous diarylpropane oxygenase closely resemble those of the analogous myoglobin complexes. The EPR g values of native diarylpropane oxygenase, 5.83 and 1.99, also agree well with those of aquometMb. The RR spectra of ferric diarylpropane oxygenase have their spin- and oxidation-state marker bands at frequencies analogous to those of aquometMb and indicate a high-spin, hexacoordinate ferric iron. The RR spectra of ferrous diarylpropane oxygenase have frequencies analogous to those of deoxy-Mb that suggest a high-spin, pentacoordinate Fe(II) in the reduced form. The RR spectra of both ferric and ferrous diarylpropane oxygenase are less similar to those of horseradish peroxidase, catalase, or cytochrome c peroxidase and are clearly distinct from those of P-450. These observations suggest that the fifth ligand to the heme iron of diarylpropane oxygenase is a neutral histidine and that the iron environment must resemble that of the oxygen transport protein, myoglobin, rather than that of the peroxidases, catalase, or P-450. Given the functional similarity between diarylpropane oxygenase and P-450, this work implies that the mechanism of oxygen insertion for the two systems is different. 相似文献
