Cyanide is one of the few diatomic ligands able to interact with the ferric and ferrous heme-Fe atom. Here, the X-ray crystal structure of the cyanide derivative of ferric Mycobacterium tuberculosis truncated hemoglobin-N (M. tuberculosis trHbN) has been determined at 2.0 A (R-general = 17.8% and R-free = 23.5%), and analyzed in parallel with those of M. tuberculosis truncated hemoglobin-O (M. tuberculosis trHbO), Chlamydomonas eugametos truncated hemoglobin (C. eugametos trHb), and sperm whale myoglobin, generally taken as a molecular model. Cyanide binding to M. tuberculosis trHbN is stabilized directly by residue TyrB10(33), which may assist the deprotonation of the incoming ligand and the protonation of the outcoming cyanide. In M. tuberculosis trHbO and in C. eugametos trHb the ligand is stabilized by the distal pocket residues TyrCD1(36) and TrpG8(88), and by the TyrB10(20) - GlnE7(41) - GlnE11(45) triad, respectively. Moreover, kinetics for cyanide binding to ferric M. tuberculosis trHbN and trHbO and C. eugametos trHb, for ligand dissociation from the ferrous trHbs, and for the reduction of the heme-Fe(III)-cyanide complex have been determined, at pH 7.0 and 20.0 degrees C. Despite the different heme distal site structures and ligand interactions, values of the rate constant for cyanide binding to ferric (non)vertebrate heme proteins are similar, being influenced mainly by the presence in the heme pocket of proton acceptor group(s), whose function is to assist the deprotonation of the incoming ligand (i.e., HCN). On the other hand, values of the rate constant for the reduction of the heme-Fe(III)-cyanide (non)vertebrate globins span over several orders of magnitude, reflecting the different ability of the heme proteins considered to give productive complex(es) with dithionite or its reducing species SO(2)(-). Furthermore, values of the rate constant for ligand dissociation from heme-Fe(II)-cyanide (non)vertebrate heme proteins are very different, reflecting the different nature and geometry of the heme distal residue(s) hydrogen-bonded to the heme-bound cyanide. 相似文献

Cyanide binds to ferric heme-proteins with a very high affinity, reflecting the very low dissociation rate constant (koff). Since no techniques are available to estimate koff, we report herewith a method to determine koff based on the irreversible reductive nitrosylation reaction to trap ferric myoglobin (Mb(III)). The koff value for cyanide dissociation from ferric cyanide horse heart myoglobin (Mb(III)-cyanide) was determined at pH 9.2 and 20.0 °C. Mixing Mb(III)-cyanide and NO solutions brings about absorption spectral changes reflecting the disappearance of Mb(III)-cyanide with the concomitant formation of ferrous nitrosylated Mb. Since kinetics of reductive nitrosylation of Mb(III) is much faster than Mb(III)-cyanide dissociation, the koff value, representing the rate-limiting step, can be directly determined. The koff value obtained experimentally matches very well to that calculated from values of the second-order rate constant (kon) and of the dissociation equilibrium constant (K) for cyanide binding to Mb(III) (koff = kon × K). 相似文献

Hemoglobins of the Lucina pectinata/bacteria symbiosis. I. Molecular properties, kinetics and equilibria of reactions with ligands 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Three hemoglobins have been isolated from the symbiont-harboring gill of the bivalve mollusc Lucina pectinata. Oxyhemoglobin I (Hb I), which may be called sulfide-reactive hemoglobin, reacts with hydrogen sulfide to form ferric hemoglobin sulfide in a reaction that may proceed by nucleophilic displacement of bound superoxide anion by hydrosulfide anion. Hemoglobins II and II, called oxygen-reactive hemoglobins, remain oxygenated in the presence of hydrogen sulfide. Hemoglobin I is monomeric; Hb II and Hb III self-associate in a concentration-dependent manner and form a tetramer when mixed. Oxygen binding is not cooperative. Oxygen affinities are all nearly the same, P50 = 0.1 to 0.2 Torr, and are independent of pH. Combination of Hb I with oxygen is fast; k'on = (estimated) 100-200 x 10(6) M-1 s-1. Combination of Hb II and Hb III with oxygen is slow: k'on = 0.4 and 0.3 x 10(6) M-1 s-1, respectively. Dissociation of oxygen from Hb I is fast relative to myoglobin: koff = 61 s-1. Dissociation from Hb II and Hb III is slow: koff = 0.11 and 0.08 s-1, respectively. These large differences in rates of reaction together with differences in the reactions of carbon monoxide suggest differences in configuration of the distal heme pocket. The fast reactions of Hb I are comparable to those of hemoglobins that lack distal histidine residues. Slow dissociation of oxygen from Hb II and Hb III suggest that a distal residue may interact strongly with the bound ligand. We infer that Hb I may facilitate delivery of hydrogen sulfide to the chemoautotrophic bacterial symbiont and Hb II and Hb III may facilitate delivery of oxygen. The midpoint oxidation-reduction potential of the ferrous/ferric couple of Hb I, 103 +/- 8 mV, was independent of pH. Potentials of Hb II and Hb III were pH-dependent. At neutral pH all three hemoglobins have similar midpoint potentials. The rate constant for combination of ferric Hb I with hydrogen sulfide increases 3000-fold from pH 10.5 to 5.5, with apparent pK 7.0, suggesting that undissociated hydrogen sulfide is the attacking ligand. At the acid limit combination of ferric Hb I with hydrogen sulfide, k'on = 2.3 x 10(5) M-1 s-1, is 40-fold faster than combination with ferric Hb II or myoglobin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We have studied the heme oxidation kinetics of purified human hemoglobin (Hb) in the presence of lipid vesicles of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine and bovine brain phosphatidylserine that exhibited minimal lipid peroxidation. We showed that the lipid vesicles enhanced Hb oxidation and that small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) exerted a larger effect than large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). We have determined pseudo first-order rate constants for the initial disappearance of oxygenated ferrous Hb (k0) and for the initial formation of several ferric Hb species (methemoglobin, hemichrome, and choleglobin) in the presence of SUVs and LUVs. k0 and other rate constants depended linearly on lipid-to-hemoglobin molar ratio (lipid/Hb), with k0SUV (h-1) = k0auto (h-1) + 3.7 x 10(-3) x lipid/Hb, and k0LUV (h-1) = k0auto (h-1) + 0.2 x 10(-3) x lipid/hb, where k0auto is the rate constant for Hb autoxidation in the absence of vesicles. Thus, in the absence of lipid peroxidation products, lipid vesicles themselves promote Hb oxidation by enhancing the rate of Hb oxidation. The enhanced oxidation was inhibited by catalase, but not by butylated hydroxytoluene. The rate constants were independent of Hb concentration, in the range of about 3.1 to 100 microM. We suggest that the lipid surface properties, including surface curvature, surface energy, and hydrophobicity, promote hemoglobin oxidation. 相似文献

The ε-proteobacterium Helicobacter hepaticus (Hh) contains a gene coding for a hemoglobin (Hb). The protein belongs to the 2/2 Hb lineage and is representative of group III, a set of Hbs about which little is known. An expression and purification procedure was developed for Hh Hb. Electronic absorption and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were used to characterize ligation states of the ferric and ferrous protein. The pK(a) of the acid/alkaline transition of ferric Hh Hb was 7.3, an unusually low value. NMR analysis of the cyanomet complex showed the orientation of the heme group to be reversed when compared with most group I and group II 2/2 Hbs. Ferrous Hh Hb formed a stable cyanide complex that yielded NMR spectra similar to those of the carbonmonoxy complex. All forms of Hh Hb were self-associated at NMR concentrations. Comparison was made to the related Campylobacter jejuni 2/2 Hb (Ctb), and the amino acid conservation pattern of group III was reinspected to help in the generalization of structure-function relationships. 相似文献

Substrate binding and catalytic mechanism in ascorbate peroxidase: evidence for two ascorbate binding sites 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The catalytic mechanism of recombinant soybean cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (rsAPX) and a derivative of rsAPX in which a cysteine residue (Cys32) located close to the substrate (L-ascorbic acid) binding site has been modified to preclude binding of ascorbate [Mandelman, D., Jamal, J., and Poulos, T. L. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 17610-17617] has been examined using pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetic techniques. Formation (k1 = 3.3 +/- 0.1 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)) of Compound I and reduction (k(2) = 5.2 +/- 0.3 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1)) of Compound I by substrate are fast. Wavelength maxima for Compound I of rsAPX (lambda(max) (nm) = 409, 530, 569, 655) are consistent with a porphyrin pi-cation radical. Reduction of Compound II by L-ascorbate is rate-limiting: at low substrate concentration (0-500 microM), kinetic traces were monophasic but above approximately 500 microM were biphasic. Observed rate constants for the fast phase overlaid with observed rate constants extracted from the (monophasic) dependence observed below 500 microM and showed saturation kinetics; rate constants for the slow phase were linearly dependent on substrate concentration (k(3-slow)) = 3.1 +/- 0.1 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)). Kinetic transients for reduction of Compound II by L-ascorbic acid for Cys32-modified rsAPX are monophasic at all substrate concentrations, and the second-order rate constant (k(3) = 0.9 +/- 0.1 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)) is similar to that obtained from the slow phase of Compound II reduction for unmodified rsAPX. Steady-state oxidation of L-ascorbate by rsAPX showed a sigmoidal dependence on substrate concentration and data were satisfactorily rationalized using the Hill equation; oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by Cys32-modified rsAPX showed no evidence of sigmoidal behavior. The data are consistent with the presence of two kinetically competent binding sites for ascorbate in APX. 相似文献

The microaerophilic bacterium Campylobacter jejuni is a significant food-borne pathogen and is predicted to possess two terminal respiratory oxidases with unknown properties. Inspection of the genome reveals an operon (cydAB) apparently encoding a cytochrome bd-like oxidase homologous to oxidases in Escherichia coli and Azotobacter vinelandii. However, C. jejuni cells lacked all spectral signals characteristic of the high-spin hemes b and d of these oxidases. Mutation of the cydAB operon of C. jejuni did not have a significant effect on growth, but the mutation reduced formate respiration and the viability of cells cultured in 5% oxygen. Since cyanide resistance of respiration was diminished in the mutant, we propose that C. jejuni CydAB be renamed CioAB (cyanide-insensitive oxidase), as in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We measured the oxygen affinity of each oxidase, using a highly sensitive assay that exploits globin deoxygenation during respiration-catalyzed oxygen uptake. The CioAB-type oxidase exhibited a relatively low affinity for oxygen (K(m) = 0.8 microM) and a V(max) of >20 nmol/mg/s. Expression of cioAB was elevated fivefold in cells grown at higher rates of oxygen provision. The alternative, ccoNOQP-encoded cyanide-sensitive oxidase, expected to encode a cytochrome cb'-type enzyme, plays a major role in the microaerobic respiration of C. jejuni, since it appeared to be essential for viability and exhibited a much higher oxygen affinity, with a K(m) value of 40 nM and a V(max) of 6 to 9 nmol/mg/s. Low-temperature photodissociation spectrophotometry revealed that neither oxidase has ligand-binding activity typical of the heme-copper oxidase family. These data are consistent with cytochrome oxidation during photolysis at low temperatures. 相似文献

The Bacillus cereus beta-lactamase I catalyzes the hydrolysis of a wide variety of penicillins and cephalosporins with values of k(cat)/K(m) varying over several orders of magnitude. The values of this parameter for the most reactive of these compounds, benzylpenicillin, I, and furylacryloyl-penicillin, II (k(cat)/K(m) = 2.43 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) and 2.35 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, at pH 7.0 in potassium phosphate buffer containing 0.17 M KCl, I(c) = 0.63, 25 degrees C) are decreased markedly by increasing viscosity in sucrose- or glycerol-containing buffers. The relative sensitivities to viscosity of k(cat)/K(m) values for I and for cephaloridine, III, were found to be virtually unchanged at pH 3.8 from those observed at pH 7.0. The differential effects of viscosity on the reactive vs. the sluggish [e.g., cephalothin (IV), k(cat)/K(m) = 1 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)] substrates support the contention that the rates of reaction of the former with the enzyme are in part diffusion controlled. Quantitative analysis gives values for the association rate constants, k(1), of 7.6 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), 4 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), and 1.1 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) for I, II, and III, respectively. As both reactive and sluggish substrates associate with the active site of the enzyme with relatively similar rate constants, the variation in k(cat)/K(m) values is primarily due to the variation in the partition ratios k(-1)/k(2), for the ES complex, which are 2.3, 0.77, and 30 for I, II, and III, respectively. The preceding analysis is based on direct application of the Stokes-Einstein diffusion law to enzyme kinetics. The range of applicability of this law to the diffusion of substrate size molecules and the mechanics of diffusion of ionic species through viscous solutions of sucrose vs. polymers are explored. 相似文献

Myeloperoxidase is very susceptible to reducing radicals because the reduction potential of the ferric/ferrous redox couple is much higher compared with other peroxidases. Semiquinone radicals are known to reduce heme proteins. Therefore, the kinetics and spectra of the reactions of p-hydroquinone, 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone and 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone with compounds I and II were investigated using both sequential-mixing stopped-flow techniques and conventional spectrophotometric measurements. At pH 7 and 15 degrees C the rate constants for compound I reacting with p-hydroquinone, 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone and 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone were determined to be 5.6+/-0.4 x 10(7) M(-1)s(-1), 1.3+/-0.1 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1) and 3.1+/-0.3 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1), respectively. The corresponding reaction rates for compound II reduction were calculated to be 4.5+/-0.3 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1), 1.9+/-0.1 x 10(5) M(-1)s(-1) and 4.5+/-0.2 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1), respectively. Semiquinone radicals, produced by compounds I and II in the classical peroxidation cycle, promote compound III (oxymyeloperoxidase) formation. We could monitor formation of ferrous myeloperoxidase as well as its direct transition to compound II by addition of molecular oxygen. Formation of ferrous myeloperoxidase is shown to depend strongly on the reduction potential of the corresponding redox couple benzoquinone/semiquinone. With 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone and 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone as substrate, myeloperoxidase is extremely quickly trapped as compound III. These MPO-typical features could have potential in designing specific drugs which inhibit the production of hypochlorous acid and consequently attenuate inflammatory tissue damage. 相似文献

The cytosolic human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme III (hCA III) has been cloned and purified by the GST-fusion protein method. Recombinant pure hCA III had the following kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction at 20 degrees C and pH 7.5: k(cat) of 1.3 x 10(4) s(- 1) and k(cat)/K(M) of 2.5.10(5) M(- 1) s(- 1). The first detailed inhibition study of this enzyme with anions is reported. Inhibition data of the cytosolic isozymes hCA I - hCA III with a large number of anions (halides, pseudohalides, bicarbonate, carbonate, nitrate, nitrite, hydrosulfide, sulfate, sulfamic acid, sulfamide, etc.), were determined and these values are comparatively discussed for these three cytosolic isoforms. Fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid (as anions) were weak hCA III inhibitors (K(I)s of 21-78.5 mM), whereas bicarbonate, chloride, bromide, sulfate and several other simple anions showed K(I)s around 1 mM. The best hCA III inhibitors were carbonate, cyanide, thiocyanate, azide and hydrogensulfide, which showed K(I)s in the range of 10-90 microM. It is difficult to explain the inhibitory activity of carbonate (K(I) of 10 microM) against hCA III, also considering the fact that this ion has an affinity of 15-73 mM for hCA I and II and is in equilibrium with one of the substrates of this enzyme, i.e., bicarbonate, which is a much weaker inhibitor (K(I) of 0.74 mM against hCA III, of 12 mM against hCA I and of 85 mM against hCA II). 相似文献

Transient kinetics of reduction of zucchini squash ascorbate oxidase (AO) by lumiflavin semiquinone have been studied by using laser flash photolysis. Second-order kinetics were obtained for reduction of the type I copper with a rate constant of 2.7 X 10(7) M-1 s-1, which is comparable to that obtained with other blue copper proteins such as plastocyanin. Following reduction, the type I copper was reoxidized in a protein concentration independent (i.e., intramolecular) reaction (kobs = 160 s-1). Comparison with literature values for limiting rate constants in transient single-turnover kinetic experiments suggests that intramolecular electron transfer probably is the rate-limiting step in enzyme catalysis. The extent of reoxidation of type I copper was approximately 55%, which is consistent with the approximately equal redox potentials of the type I and type III copper centers. Neither azide nor fluoride caused any significant changes in kinetics, although they are enzyme inhibitors and are thought to bind to the type II copper. In contrast, cyanide caused a concentration-dependent decrease in the extent of intramolecular electron transfer (with no change in rate constant), and decreased the rate constant for reduction of the type I copper by a factor of 2. The apparent dissociation constant for cyanide (0.2-0.4 mM) is similar to that reported for inhibition of enzyme activity. Removal of the type II copper from AO only marginally affected the kinetics of electron transfer to type I copper (k = 3.2 x 10(7) M-1 s-1) and slightly increased the extent but did not alter the rate constant of intramolecular electron transfer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effect of inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP) on the spectroscopic (EPR and absorbance) properties of the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous horse and bovine hemoglobin (Hb) has been investigated. In the absence of IHP, the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous horse Hb shows spectroscopic properties similar to those of the corresponding derivative of ferrous human Hb that are generally taken as typical of the high affinity state of tetrametric hemoproteins. Similar to human Hb, the addition of IHP to the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous horse Hb induces a transition toward a species characterized by spectral properties typical of the low affinity state of hemoglobins. Nevertheless, the equilibrium constant for IHP binding to the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous horse Hb (= 1.5 x 10(2) M-1) is much lower than that reported for the association of the polyphosphate to the same derivative of ferrous human Hb (greater than 3 x 10(5) M-1). Conversely, the spectroscopic properties of the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous bovine Hb are characteristic of the low affinity state of tetrameric hemoproteins, both in the absence and in the presence of IHP. These results, taken together with the behavior of the nitric oxide derivative of ferrous human Hb, provide further evidence for the peculiar oxygen binding properties of horse and bovine Hb. 相似文献

Hsc66 from Escherichia coli is a constitutively expressed hsp70 class molecular chaperone whose activity is coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis. To better understand the mechanism and regulation of Hsc66, we investigated the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis and the interactions of Hsc66 with nucleotides. Steady-state experiments revealed that Hsc66 has a low affinity for ATP (K(m)(ATP) = 12.7 microM) compared with other hsp70 chaperones. The kinetics of nucleotide binding were determined by analyzing changes in the Hsc66 absorbance spectrum using stopped-flow methods at 23 degrees C. ATP binding results in a rapid, biphasic increase of Hsc66 absorbance at 280 nm; this is interpreted as arising from a two-step process in which ATP binding (k(a)(ATP) = 4.2 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), k(d)(ATP) = 1.1 s(-1)) is followed by a slow conformational change (k(conf) = 0. 1 s(-1)). Under single turnover conditions, the ATP-induced transition decays exponentially with a rate (k(decay) = 0.0013 s(-1)) similar to that observed in both steady-state and single turnover ATP hydrolysis experiments (k(hyd) = 0.0014 s(-1)). ADP binding to Hsc66 results in a monophasic transition in the absence (k(a)(ADP) = 7 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), k(d)(ADP) = 60 s(-1)) and presence of physiological levels of inorganic phosphate (k(a)(ADP(P(i)) = 0.28 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), k(d)(ADP(P(i)) = 9.1 s(-1)). These results indicate that ATP hydrolysis is the rate-limiting step under steady-state conditions and is >10(3)-fold slower than the rate of ADP/ATP exchange. Thus, in contrast to DnaK and eukaryotic forms of hsp70 that have been characterized to date, the R if T equilibrium balance for Hsc66 is shifted in favor of the low peptide affinity T state, and regulation of the reaction cycle is expected to occur at the ATP hydrolysis step rather than at nucleotide exchange. 相似文献

With the exception of catalase-peroxidases, heme peroxidases show no significant ability to oxidize hydrogen peroxide and are trapped and inactivated in the compound III form by H2O2 in the absence of one-electron donors. Interestingly, some KatG variants, which lost the catalatic activity, form compound III easily. Here, we compared the kinetics of interconversion of ferrous enzymes, compound II and compound III of wild-type Synechocystis KatG, the variant Y249F, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). It is shown that dioxygen binding to ferrous KatG and Y249F is reversible and monophasic with apparent bimolecular rate constants of (1.2 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) and (1.6 +/- 0.2) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) (pH 7, 25 degrees C), similar to HRP. The dissociation constants (KD) of the ferrous-dioxygen were calculated to be 84 microm (wild-type KatG) and 129 microm (Y249F), higher than that in HRP (1.9 microm). Ferrous Y249F and HRP can also heterolytically cleave hydrogen peroxide, forming water and an oxoferryl-type compound II at similar rates ((2.4 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) and (1.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) (pH 7, 25 degrees C)). Significant differences were observed in the H2O2-mediated conversion of compound II to compound III as well as in the spectral features of compound II. When compared with HRP and other heme peroxidases, in Y249F, this reaction is significantly faster ((1.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1))). Ferrous wild-type KatG was also rapidly converted by hydrogen peroxide in a two-phasic reaction via compound II to compound III (approximately 2.0 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1)), the latter being also efficiently transformed to ferric KatG. These findings are discussed with respect to a proposed mechanism for the catalatic activity. 相似文献

One physiological significance of the red blood cell (RBC) structure is that NO binding of Hb is retarded by encapsulation with the cell membrane. To clarify the mechanism, we analyzed Hb-vesicles (HbVs) with different intracellular Hb concentrations, [Hb](in), and different particle sizes using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The apparent NO binding rate constant, k(on)('(NO)), of HbV at [Hb](in) = 1 g/dl was 2.6 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1), which was almost equal to k(on)((NO)) of molecular Hb, indicating that the lipid membrane presents no obstacle for NO binding. With increasing [Hb](in) to 35 g/dl, k(on)('(NO)) decreased to 0.9 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1), which was further decreased to 0.5 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1) with enlarging particle diameter from 265 to 452 nm. For CO binding, which is intrinsically much slower than NO binding, k(on)('(CO)) did not change greatly with [Hb](in) and the particle diameter. Results obtained using diffusion simulations coupled with elementary binding reactions concur with these tendencies and clarify that NO is trapped rapidly by Hb from the interior surface region to the core of HbV at a high [Hb](in), retarding NO diffusion toward the core of HbV. In contrast, slow CO binding allows time for further CO-diffusion to the core. Simulations extrapolated to larger particles (8 mum) showing retardation even for CO binding. The obtained k(on)('(NO)) and k(on)('(NO)) yield values similar to those reported for RBCs. In summary, the intracellular, not extracellular, diffusion barrier is predominant due to the rapid NO binding that induces a rapid sink of NO from the interior surface to the core, retarding further NO diffusion and binding. 相似文献

The reactions of lactoperoxidase (LPO) intermediates compound I, compound II and compound III, with nitrite (NO2(-)) were investigated. Reduction of compound I by NO2(-) was rapid (k2 = 2.3 x 10(7) M(-1) x s(-1); pH = 7.2) and compound II was not an intermediate, indicating that NO2* radicals are not produced when NO2(-) reacts with compound I. The second-order rate constant for the reaction of compound II with NO2(-) at pH = 7.2 was 3.5 x 10(5) M(-1) x s(-1). The reaction of compound III with NO2(-) exhibited saturation behaviour when the observed pseudo first-order rate constants were plotted against NO2(-) concentrations and could be quantitatively explained by the formation of a 1 : 1 ratio compound III/NO2(-) complex. The Km of compound III for NO2(-) was 1.7 x 10(-4) M and the first-order decay constant of the compound III/ NO2(-) complex was 12.5 +/- 0.6 s(-1). The second-order rate constant for the reaction of the complex with NO2(-) was 3.3 x 10(3) M(-1) x s(-1). Rate enhancement by NO2(-) does not require NO2* as a redox intermediate. NO2(-) accelerates the overall rate of catalysis by reducing compound II to the ferric state. With increasing levels of H2O2, there is an increased tendency for the catalytically dead-end intermediate compound III to form. Under these conditions, the 'rescue' reaction of NO2(-) with compound III to form compound II will maintain the peroxidatic cycle of the enzyme. 相似文献

Compared to other monomeric heme proteins and the heme peroxidases, the Glycera dibranchiata monomer hemoglobin components III and IV exhibit very slow cyanide binding kinetics. This is agreement with the previously reported behavior of component II. Similar to component II, components III and IV have been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions at pH 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 by using a 100-250-fold excess of potassium cyanide at each pH. At 20 degrees C with micromolar protein concentrations, kobs for component III varies between 7.08 x 10(-5) s-1 at pH 6.0 and 100-fold cyanide excess and 1.06 x 10(-2) s-1 at pH 9.0 and 250-fold cyanide excess. For component IV, the values are 2.03 x 10(-4) s-1 for 100-fold cyanide excess at pH 6.0 and 4.13 x 10(-2) s-1 for 250-fold cyanide excess at pH 9.0. In comparison to other heme proteins, our analysis shows that the bimolecular rate constant (klapp) is small. For example, at pH 7.0, it is 3.02 x 10(-1) M-1 s-1 for component III and 1.82 M-1 s-1 for component IV, compared to 400 M-1 s-1 for sperm whale metmyoglobin, 692 M-1 s-1 for soybean metleghemoglobin a, 111 M-1 s-1 for guinea pig methemoglobin, and 1.1 x 10(5) M-1 s-1 for cytochrome c peroxidase.

Binding of aquo-, cyano-, or azidocobalamin (Cbl.OH(2), Cbl.CN, and Cbl.N(3), respectively) to the recombinant human transcobalamin (TC) and haptocorrin from human plasma was investigated via stopped-flow spectroscopy. Association of cobalamins with haptocorrin always proceeded in one step. TC, however, displayed a certain selectivity for the ligands: Cbl.CN or Cbl.N(3) bound in one step with k(+1) = 1 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (20 degrees C), whereas binding of Cbl.OH(2) under the same conditions occurred in two steps with k(+1) = 3 x 10( 7) M(-1) s(-1) (E(a) = 30 kJ/mol) and k(+2) = 0.02 s(-1) (E(a) = 120 kJ/mol). The second step of Cbl.OH(2) binding was interpreted as a transformation of the initial "open" intermediate TC.Cbl.OH(2) to the "closed" conformation TC(Cbl) with displaced water. The backward transition from the closed to the open conformation was the reason for the identical rate-limiting steps during substitution of H(2)O in TC.Cbl.OH(2) for cyanide or azide according to the reaction TC(Cbl) --> TC.Cbl.OH(2) + CN(-)/N(3)(-). The cyano and azido forms of holo-TC which were produced behaved as the open proteins. Different conformations of holo-TC, determined by the nature of the active group in the bound Cbl, may direct transportation of cobalamins in the organism. 相似文献

Truncated hemoglobins (trHbs) are widely distributed in bacteria and plants and have been found in some unicellular eukaryotes. Phylogenetic analysis based on protein sequences shows that trHbs branch into three groups, designated N (or I), O (or II), and P (or III). Most trHbs are involved in the O2/NO chemistry and/or oxidation/reduction function, permitting the survival of the microorganism in the host. Here, a detailed comparative analysis of kinetics and/or thermodynamics of (i) ferrous Mycobacterium tubertulosis trHbs N and O (Mt-trHbN and Mt-trHbO, respectively), and Campylobacter jejuni trHb (Cj-trHbP) nitrosylation, (ii) nitrite-mediated nitrosylation of ferrous Mt-trHbN, Mt-trHbO, and Cj-trHbP, and (iii) NO-based reductive nitrosylation of ferric Mt-trHbN, Mt-trHbO, and Cj-trHbP is reported. Ferrous and ferric Mt-trHbN and Cj-trHbP display a very high reactivity towards NO; however, the conversion of nitrite to NO is facilitated primarily by ferrous Mt-trHbN. Values of kinetic and/or thermodynamic parameters reflect specific trHb structural features, such as the ligand diffusion pathways to/from the heme, the heme distal pocket structure and polarity, and the ligand stabilization mechanisms. In particular, the high reactivity of Mt-trHbN and Cj-trHbP reflects the great ligand accessibility to the heme center by two protein matrix tunnels and the E7-path, respectively, and the penta-coordination of the heme-Fe atom. In contrast, the heme-Fe atom of Mt-trHbO the ligand accessibility to the heme center of Mt-trHbO needs large conformational readjustments, thus limiting the heme-based reactivity. These results agree with different roles of Mt-trHbN, Mt-trHbO, and Cj-trHbP in vivo. 相似文献

Transient kinetic analysis of biphasic, single turnover data for the reaction of 2,2'-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] (ABTS) with horseradish peroxidase (HRPC) compound II demonstrated preequilibrium binding of ABTS (k(+5) = 7.82 x 10(4) M(-)(1) s(-)(1)) prior to rate-limiting electron transfer (k(+6) = 42.1 s(-)(1)). These data were obtained using a stopped-flow method, which included ascorbate in the reaction medium to maintain a low steady-state concentration of ABTS (pseudo-first-order conditions) and to minimize absorbance changes in the Soret region due to the accumulation of ABTS cation radicals. A steady-state kinetic analysis of the reaction confirmed that the reduction of HRPC compound II by this substrate is rate-limiting in the complete peroxidase cycle. The reaction of HRPC with o-diphenols has been investigated using a chronometric method that also included ascorbate in the assay medium to minimize the effects of nonenzymic reactions involving phenol-derived radical products. This enabled the initial rates of o-diphenol oxidation at different hydrogen peroxide and o-diphenol concentrations to be determined from the lag period induced by the presence of ascorbate. The kinetic analysis resolved the reaction of HRPC compound II with o-diphenols into two steps, initial formation of an enzyme-substrate complex followed by electron transfer from the substrate to the heme. With o-diphenols that are rapidly oxidized, the heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond of the heme-bound hydrogen peroxide (k(+2) = 2.17 x 10(3) s(-)(1)) is rate-limiting. The size and hydrophobicity of the o-diphenol substrates are correlated with their rate of binding to HRPC, while the electron density at the C-4 hydroxyl group predominantly influences the rate of electron transfer to the heme. 相似文献
