Abstract:The benzylindazole compound YC-1 has been shown to activate soluble guanylate cyclase by increasing the sensitivity toward NO and CO. Here we report the action of YC-1 on the coordination of CO- and NO-hemes in the enzyme and correlate the events with the activation of enzyme catalysis. A single YC-1-binding site on the heterodimeric enzyme was identified by equilibrium dialysis. To explore the affect of YC-1 on the NO-heme coordination, the six-coordinate NO complex of the enzyme was stabilized by dibromodeuteroheme substitution. Using the dibromodeuteroheme enzyme, YC-1 converted the six-coordinate NO-heme to a five-coordinate NO-heme with a characteristic EPR signal that differed from that in the absence of YC-1. These results revealed that YC-1 facilitated cleavage of the proximal His-iron bond and caused geometrical distortion of the five-coordinate NO-heme. Resonance Raman studies demonstrated the presence of two iron-CO stretch modes at 488 and 521 cm(-1) specific to the YC-1-bound CO complex of the native enzyme. Together with the infrared C-O stretching measurements, we assigned the 488-cm(-1) band to the iron-CO stretch of a six-coordinate CO-heme and the 521-cm(-1) band to the iron-CO stretch of a five-coordinate CO-heme. These results indicate that YC-1 stimulates enzyme activity by weakening or cleaving the proximal His-iron bond in the CO complex as well as the NO complex.
