The spectral properties for NO complexes of ferric and ferrous cytochrome c' from photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas capsulata B100 are reported. The electronic absorption, MCD, and EPR spectra have been compared with those of the NO complexes of the other cytochromes c' and horse heart cytochrome c. The NO-ferrous cytochrome c' would be a mixture of NO complexes with six- and five-coordinate nitrosylheme, suggesting that the heme-iron to histidine bond in the ferrous cytochrome c' is more stable than that from chemoheterotrophic bacteria. The reaction product of ferric cytochrome c' with NO exhibited the spectra similar to NO-ferric derivatives of the other hemoproteins, which indicates the formation of NO-ferric cytochrome c'. 相似文献

Cytochrome c' was purified from the denitrifying bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans and the interaction of the protein with nitric oxide was examined spectroscopically. Two distinct types of haem-nitrosyl electronic absorption spectrum were observed, which were dependent upon [NO]. When cytochrome c' was saturated with NO, alpha and beta bands were centred at 562 nm and 530 nm, whereas with sub-saturating concentrations of NO the alpha and beta bands were red-shifted to 578 nm and 542 nm respectively. Further spectroscopic analysis showed that purified cytochrome c', added to suspensions of P. denitrificans, is able to complex with the NO which is formed as a freely diffusible intermediate of denitrification. In the presence of added NO-3 or NO-2, 40-60% of Fe(II)-cytochrome c' forms a 6-coordinate haem-nitrosyl complex. In the absence of nitrogen oxyanions or NO whole denitrifying cells are able to remove the NO from a Fe(II)-cytochrome c'-NO complex. These findings support the hypothesis that the physiological function of this enigmatic cytochrome involves the reversible binding of nitric oxide. 相似文献

The spectral properties of cytochrome c' from photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas capsulata (= Rhodobacter capsulatus) B100 and its CO complex are reported. The electronic absorption, MCD, and EPR spectra have been compared with those of the other cytochromes c' and horse heart cytochrome c. EPR and electronic spectral results for the ferric cytochrome c' suggest that the ground state of heme-iron(III) at neutral pH consists of a quantum mechanical admixture of an intermediate-spin and a high-spin state and that at pH 11.0 is in a high-spin state. In the MCD spectrum of the CO-ferrous cytochrome c', the MCD intensity in the Soret band region was much higher than that of CO complexes of hemoproteins with a protoheme. The differences in a stereochemistry of the sixth-coordination position is discussed. 相似文献

Cytochrome c' from Rhodobacter capsulatus has been shown to confer resistance to nitric oxide (NO). In this study, we demonstrated that the amount of cytochrome c' synthesized for buffering of NO is insufficient to account for the resistance to NO but that the cytochrome-dependent resistance mechanism involves the catalytic breakdown of NO, under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Even under aerobic conditions, the NO removal is independent of molecular oxygen, suggesting cytochrome c' is a NO reductase. Indeed, we have measured the product of NO breakdown to be nitrous oxide (N(2)O), thus showing that cytochrome c' is behaving as a NO reductase. The increased resistance to NO conferred by cytochrome c' is distinct from the NO reductase pathway that is involved in denitrification. Cytochrome c' is not required for denitrification, but it has a role in the removal of externally supplied NO. Cytochrome c' synthesis occurs aerobically and anaerobically but is partly repressed under denitrifying growth conditions when other NO removal systems are operative. The inhibition of respiratory oxidase activity of R. capsulatus by NO suggests that one role for cytochrome c' is to maintain oxidase activity when both NO and O(2) are present. 相似文献

The binding of nitric oxide to ferric and ferrous Chromatium vinosum cytochrome c' was studied. The extinction coefficients for the ferric and ferrous nitric oxide complexes were measured. A binding model that included both a conformational change and dissociation of the dimer into subunits provided the best fit for the ferric cytochrome c' data. The NO (nitric oxide) binding affinity of the WT ferric form was found to be comparable to the affinities displayed by the ferric myoglobins and hemoglobins. Using an improved fitting model, positive cooperativity was found for the binding of NO to the WT ferric and ferrous forms, while anticooperativity was the case for the Y16F mutant. Structural explanations accounting for the binding are proposed. The NO affinity of ferrous cytochrome c' was found to be much lower than the affinities of myoglobins, hemoglobins, and pentacoordinate heme models. Structural factors accounting for the difference in affinities were analyzed. The NO affinity of ferrous cytochrome c' was found to be in the range typical of receptors and carriers. In addition, cytochrome c' was found to react with cytosolic light-irradiated membranes in the presence of succinate and carbon monoxide. With these results, a biochemical model of cytochrome c' functioning as a nitric oxide carrier was proposed. 相似文献

An EXAFS study on the oxidized and reduced forms of cytochromes c' from Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodospirillum molischianum was performed at pH 7. The cytochromes c' have an apparent coordination number of 5 in both oxidation states. Average Fe-ligand bond lengths of 2.02 +/- 0.025 and 2.06 +/- 0.025 A are obtained in their oxidized and reduced forms, respectively. By use of suitable values for the Fe-NHis bond length and Fe out-of-plane displacement, as determined by small molecule crystallographic techniques, the Fe-Npyrrole bond lengths and the porphyrin center-to-Npyrrole distance have been estimated for cytochrome c' in both of its oxidation states. With this model, estimates of the Fe-Npyrrole bond lengths are 2.01 +/- 0.03 and 2.05 +/- 0.03 A, for the oxidized and reduced cytochromes c', respectively. The center-to-Npyrrole distance is estimated to be 1.99 +/- 0.03 A for oxidized cytochrome c' and 2.03 +/- 0.03 A for reduced cytochrome c'. 相似文献

We have used optical, EPR and M?ssbauer spectroscopies to study the formation of heme-NO complex upon the addition of nitrite to reduced cytochrome cd1 from Thiobacillus denitrificans. The reduced d1 heme binds NO under both alkaline and acidic conditions, but the binding of NO to the reduced c heme was strongly pH-dependent. The M?ssbauer data showed unambiguously that at pH 7.6 the c heme does not complex NO, whereas at pH 5.8 approximately half of the reduced c heme binds NO. This observation was confirmed by EPR studies, which showed that the spin concentration of the heme-NO EPR signal increased from 2 spins/molecule at pH 8.0 to approximately 3 spins/molecule at pH 5.8. Optical absorption study also showed strong pH dependence in the binding of NO to the reduced c heme. We have also analyzed the M?ssbauer spectra of the ferrous d1 heme-NO complex using a spin-Hamiltonian formalism. The magnetic hyperfine coupling tensor was found to be consistent with the unpaired electron residing on a sigma orbital. 相似文献

The folding kinetics of R. palustris cytochrome c' (cyt c') have been monitored by heme absorption and native Trp72 fluorescence at pH 5. The Trp72 fluorescence burst signal suggests early compaction of the polypeptide ensemble. Analysis of heme transient absorption spectra reveals deviations from two-state behavior, including a prominent slow phase that is accelerated by the prolyl isomerase cyclophilin. A nonnative proline configuration (Pro21) likely interferes with the formation of the helical bundle surrounding the heme. 相似文献

Spectroscopic evidence is presented which demonstrates the binding of cyanide to the ferric cytochrome c' from Chromatium vinosum. The cytochrome was shown to bind one equivalent of cyanide with an equilibrium constant of 2.1 X 10(4) at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C. This finding represents the first observation of the binding of an anionic ligand to the heme iron in a ferric cytochrome c'. These results suggest that the binding site of the ferric Chromatium cytochrome c' may be significantly more accessible than previously indicated. 相似文献

The cytochromes c' are a class of heme proteins whose native spectroscopic properties have been suggested to represent a quantum mechanical admixture of intermediate-(S = 3/2) and high-(S = 5/2) spin states. Here features of the cytochrome c' heme environment, as revealed by X-ray crystallographic studies of the dimeric cytochrome c' from Rhodospirillum molischianum, are related to the observed spectroscopic properties. The environment of the heme group in cytochrome c' supports the existence of the admixed spin state at neutral pH and suggests that pH-dependent transition to a pure high-spin state at alkaline pH involves deprotonation of the histidine axial ligand to the heme iron. 相似文献

The cytochrome c' from Chromatium vinosum has been studied through 1H NMR in the pH range 4-11 in both the oxidized and the reduced forms. The 1H NMR spectra are similar to those of the other cytochrome c' systems. Three pKa values of 5.1, 7.0, and 9.2 have been observed for the oxidized species and tentatively assigned to the two carboxylate propionic residues of the heme moiety and to the iron-coordinated histidine 125, respectively. The spectra are consistent with an essentially S = 5/2 state in all the pH ranges investigated. Some evidence is provided for conformational flexibilities. Among the oxidized cytochromes c' the present one is capable of binding cyanide, giving rise to a low spin state. The reduced species is a typical high spin iron(II) system. 相似文献

The spectral properties of both ferric and ferrous cytochromes c' from Alcaligenes sp. N.C.I.B. 11015 are reported. The EPR spectra at 77 K and the electronic, resonance Raman, CD and MCD spectra at room temperature have been compared with those of the other cytochromes c' and various hemoproteins. In the ferrous form, all the spectral results at physiological pH strongly indicated that the heme iron(II) is in a high-spin state. In the ferric form, the EPR and electronic absorption spectra were markedly dependent upon pH. EPR and electronic spectral results suggested that the ground state of heme iron(III) at physiological pH consists of a quantum mechanical admixture of an intermediate-spin and a high-spin state. Under highly alkaline conditions, identification of the axial ligands of heme iron(III) was attempted by crystal field analysis of the low-spin EPR g values. Upon the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate to ferric and ferrous cytochrome c', the low-spin type spectra were induced. The heme environment of this low-spin species is also discussed. 相似文献

Cytochromes c' have been isolated from six strains of Achromobacter xylosoxidans: NCIB 11015 (formerly Alcaligenes sp. NCIB 11015), GIFU 543, 1048, 1051, 1055 and 1764. They are dimeric proteins with more positive redox potentials than those of cytochromes c' from phototrophic bacteria at neutral pH. The electronic absorption, EPR and MCD spectra on NO-ferrous cytochromes c' at physiological pH showed that the major part of the heme-iron of nitrosylheme was penta-coordinated. The EPR spectral results indicated that the ground state of the heme-iron of ferric cytochromes c' appears to be in an admixed spin states which consists of predominant high-spin with a slight intermediate-spin character at pH 7.2. These spectra were compared with those for cytochromes c' from phototrophic bacteria and the other hemoproteins. 相似文献

Cytochrome c' was identified in periplasmic extracts of the Paracoccus denitrificans strains LMD 22.21 and LMD 52.44. The cytochrome c' was purified from the latter using the device of sequential molecular exclusion chromatography in the dimeric and monomeric states. Although showing the overall spectroscopic features of the cytochrome c' family, the Paracoccus cytochrome c' is unusual in having a red-shifted oxidised Soret band at 407 nm. Also unusual is the midpoint potential of 202 mV, well above the known cytochrome c' range. The amino-acid composition of Pa. denitrificans cytochrome c' showed the high alanine and low proline content characteristic of the group and reflecting the predominantly alpha-helical character of the protein. Comparison of the amino-acid compositions suggests some similarity to the cytochromes c' of Chromatium vinosum and halotolerant Paracoccus. 相似文献

The 5-coordinate ferrous heme of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans cytochrome c' reacts with NO to form a 6-coordinate nitrosyl intermediate (lambdaSoret at 415 nm) which subsequently converts to a 5-coordinate nitrosyl end product (lambdaSoret at 395 nm) in a rate-determining step. Stopped-flow measurements at pH 8.9, 25 degrees C, yield a rate constant for the formation of the 6-coordinate nitrosyl adduct, k(on) = (4.4 +/- 0.5) x 10(4) M(-1) x s(-1), which is 3-4 orders of magnitude lower than the values for other pentacoordinate ferrous hemes and is consistent with NO binding within the sterically crowded distal heme pocket. Resonance Raman measurements of the freeze-trapped 6-coordinate nitrosyl intermediate reveal an unusually high Fe-NO stretching frequency of 579 cm(-1), suggesting a distorted Fe-N-O coordination geometry. The rate of 6- to 5-coordinate heme nitrosyl conversion is also dependent upon NO concentration, with a rate constant, k(6-5) = (8.1 +/- 0.7) x 10(3) M(-1) x s(-1), implying that an additional molecule of NO is required to form the 5c-NO adduct. Since crystallographic studies have shown that the 5-coordinate nitrosyl complex of cytochrome c' binds NO to the proximal (rather than distal) face of the heme, the NO dependence of the 6- to 5-coordinate NO conversion supports a mechanism in which the weakened His ligand, as well as the distally bound NO, is displaced by a second NO molecule which attacks and is retained in the proximal coordination position. The fact that a dependent 6- to 5-coordinate nitrosyl conversion has been previously reported for soluble guanylate cyclase suggests that the mechanism of Fe-His bond cleavage may be similar to that of cytochrome c' and strengthens the recent proposal that both proteins exhibit proximal NO binding in their 5-coordinate nitrosyl adducts. 相似文献

Determinations of iron content and dry-weight measurements on samples of Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase were coupled with sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoresis studies of both the native protein and covalently cross-linked oligomers in order to estimate the enzyme's molecular weight and spectral absorption coefficients. A value of epsilon(ox.) (410)=282x10(3) litre.mol(-1).cm(-1) was calculated for a dimeric protein molecule having a total molecular weight of 122000 (based on iron analysis). Steady-state kinetic observations of the enzyme-catalysed oxidation of reduced azurin by nitrite indicated a marked increase in enzyme inactivation as the pH was raised from 5.7 to 7.2. Since NO, a product of the nitrite reductase activity of Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase, is known to bind to the enzyme, a study was undertaken to try to assess the potential of NO as a product inhibitor. Investigations showed that samples of the oxidized protein at pH values 4, 5 and 6 bound NO to both haem c and d(1) components, but oxidized enzyme samples at pH7 and above formed their reduced ligand-bound forms when placed under an atmosphere of the gas. Ascorbate-reduced enzyme samples at pH4, 5, 6 and 7 were also found to bind NO at both haem components, although at pH7 the rate of haem c binding was very slow. At pH8 and 9 only the ferrohaem d(1) bound NO. Titration experiments on the reduced protein over the pH range 5-7, with nitrite as a precursor of NO, showed that the haem d(1) had a much higher affinity than the haem c: experiments at pH5.2 and 5.9 with NO-equilibrated solutions revealed the same pattern of behaviour with the oxidized enzyme. 相似文献

Resonance Raman (RR) studies have been conducted on Alcaligenes xylosoxidans cytochrome c', a mono-His ligated hemoprotein which reversibly binds NO and CO but not O(2). Recent crystallographic characterization of this protein has revealed the first example of a hemoprotein which can utilize both sides of its heme (distal and proximal) for binding exogenous ligands to its Fe center. The present RR investigation of the Fe coordination and heme pocket environments of ferrous, carbonyl, and nitrosyl forms of cytochrome c' in solution fully supports the structures determined by X-ray crystallography and offers insights into mechanisms of ligand discrimination in heme-based sensors. Ferrous cytochrome c' reacts with CO to form a six-coordinate heme-CO complex, whereas reaction with NO results in cleavage of the proximal linkage to give a five-coordinate heme-NO adduct, despite the relatively high stretching frequency (231 cm(-1)) of the ferrous Fe-N(His) bond. RR spectra of the six-coordinate CO adduct indicate that CO binds to the Fe in a nonpolar environment in line with its location in the hydrophobic distal heme pocket. On the other hand, RR data for the five-coordinate NO adduct suggest a positively polarized environment for the NO ligand, consistent with its binding close to Arg 124 on the opposite (proximal) side of the heme. Parallels between certain physicochemical properties of cytochrome c' and those of heme-based sensor proteins raise the possibility that the latter may also utilize both sides of their hemes to discriminate between NO and CO binding. 相似文献

The soluble electron transfer protein content of Rhodopseudomonas rutila was found to consist of two basic cytochromes and a (4Fe-4S) ferredoxin. Cytochrome c' was easily identified by its characteristic high spin absorption spectra. The native molecular weight is 29,000 and the subunit is 14,000. Cytochrome c-550 has low spin absorption spectra and a high redox potential (376 mV) typical of cytochromes c2. The molecular weight is about 14,000. The ferredoxin is apparently a dimer (43,000) of approximately 18,000 Da subunits. There are 1.3 to 1.5 iron-sulfur clusters per monomer of 18- to 21-kDa protein. The N-terminal amino acid sequence is like the (7Fe-8S) ferredoxins of Rhodobacter capsulatus and Azotobacter vinelandii. Remarkably, there are only 2 or 3 out of 25 amino acid substitutions. Difference absorption spectra of Rps. rutila membranes indicate that there is not tetraheme reaction center cytochrome c, such as is characteristic of Rps. viridis. However, there are a high potential cytochrome c and a low potential cytochrome b in the membrane, which are suggestive of a cytochrome bc1 complex. Rps. rutila is most similar to Rps. palustris in microbiological properties, yet it does not have the cytochromes c-556, c-554, and c-551 in addition to c2 and c', which are characteristic of Rps. palustris. Furthermore, the Rps. rutila cytochrome c' is dimeric, whereas the same protein from Rps. palustris is the only one known to be monomeric. The cytochrome pattern is more like that of Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rb. capsulatus, which are apparently only able to make cytochromes c2 and c'. 相似文献

Electron paramagnetic resonance and electronic absorption spectral changes upon addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to ferric and ferrous cytochrome c have been measured at 77 degrees K and at room temperature. The spectral changes upon addition of SDS to ferric cytochrome c were performed, in two steps, from native low-spin to another low-spin spectrum and subsequently to high-spin-like spectrum. On the other hand, the spectral changes upon addition of SDS to ferrous cytochrome c proceeded, in one step, from native low-spin to high-spin spectrum. The high-spin-like spectrum of ferric cytochrome c and the high-spin spectrum of ferrous cytochrome c in the presence of high concentrations of SDS are, respectively, apparently similar to those of ferric and ferrous cytochrome c' at physiological pH in spectral features. These spectral similarities suggest the similarities in the heme stereochemistry and the ground state of heme iron. Further, the spectra of cytochrome c in the presence of SDS varied with the change of pH values. The ferric high-spin-like and ferrous high-spin spectra were stable at neutral pH and below it. Conformational changes of cytochrome c upon addition of SDS are also discussed. 相似文献
