Abstract: | Cytochrome bd is a terminal component of the respiratory chain of Escherichia coli catalyzing reduction of molecular oxygen to water. It contains three hemes, b558, b595, and d. The detailed spectroelectrochemical redox titration and numerical modeling of the data reveal significant redox interaction between the low-spin heme b558 and high-spin heme b595, whereas the interaction between heme d and either hemes b appears to be rather weak. However, the presence of heme d itself decreases much larger interaction between the two hemes b. Fitting the titration data with a model where redox interaction between the hemes is explicitly included makes it possible to extract individual absorption spectra of all hemes. The α- and β-band reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectra agree with the data published earlier ([22] J.G. Koland, M.J. Miller, R.B. Gennis, Potentiometric analysis of the purified cytochrome d terminal oxidase complex from Escherichia coli, Biochemistry 23 (1984) 1051-1056., and [23] R.M. Lorence, J.G. Koland, R.B. Gennis, Coulometric and spectroscopic analysis of the purified cytochrome d complex of Escherichia coli: evidence for the identification of “cytochrome a1” as cytochrome b595, Biochemistry 25 (1986) 2314-2321.). The Soret band spectra show λmax = 429.5 nm, λmin ≈ 413 nm (heme b558), λmax = 439 nm, λmin ≈ 400 ± 1 nm (heme b595), and λmax = 430 nm, λmin = 405 nm (heme d). The spectral contribution of heme d to the complex Soret band is much smaller than those of either hemes b; the Soret/α (ΔA430:ΔA629) ratio for heme d is 1.6. |
