Kinetics Of Reduction

The reduction of ferricytochrome c and ferricytochrome c carboxymethylated at the haem-linked methionine (residue 80) by Cr2+ ions was studied by stopped-flow techniques. At pH6.2 the kinetics of reduction of ferricytochrome c are simple and correspond to a second-order rate constant of 1.21×103m-1·s-1. Under identical conditions the kinetics of reduction of the carboxymethyl derivative, carboxymethyl-cytochrome c, are complex; two Cr2+-concentration-dependent processes (1.5×104m-1·s-1 and 1.3×103m-1·s-1) lead to the formation of an intermediate which decays in monomolecular fashion (0.15s-1) to form the normal fully reduced material. The kinetic difference spectrum for the overall process corresponds to that found statically, whereas the kinetic difference spectrum of the intermediate minus the oxidized form resembles that of the low-spin ferrous form of carboxymethyl-cytochrome c minus oxidized carboxymethyl-cytochrome c. A model is proposed in which the reduction of low-spin ferric carboxymethyl-cytochrome c to high-spin ferrous carboxymethyl-cytochrome c involves a low-spin ferrous intermediate. The monomolecular step involving the decay of this low-spin ferrous intermediate is associated with an activation energy of approx. 126kJ·mol-1 and is thought to involve both a change of spin state and a protein-conformational event. Although carboxymethyl-cytochrome c represents a mixture of species separable on a charge basis, the above observations were independent of which species was chosen for study.

The kinetics of reduction of ferricytochrome c by hydroquinone have been studied. The reaction does not conform to a simple second-order rate equation and it is demonstrated that the deviations are brought about by the presence of p-quinone, one of the products of the reaction. The accelerating effect of p-quinone is explained tentatively on the basis of an involvement of the semi-quinone. The effects on the reaction of pH, ionic strength, and temperature are reported and used to suggest features of the reaction mechanism.

ABSTRACT Because of their cell surface locations, the outer membrane c-type cytochromes MtrC and OmcA of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 have been suggested to be the terminal reductases for a range of redox-reactive metals that form poorly soluble solids or that do not readily cross the outer membrane. In this work, we determined the kinetics of reduction of a series of Fe(III) complexes with citrate, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and EDTA by MtrC and OmcA using a stopped-flow technique in combination with theoretical computation methods. Stopped-flow kinetic data showed that the reaction proceeded in two stages, a fast stage that was completed in less than 1 s, followed by a second, relatively slower stage. For a given complex, electron transfer by MtrC was faster than that by OmcA. For a given cytochrome, the reaction was completed in the order Fe-EDTA > Fe-NTA > Fe-citrate. The kinetic data could be modeled by two parallel second-order bimolecular redox reactions with second-order rate constants ranging from 0.872 μM−1 s−1 for the reaction between MtrC and the Fe-EDTA complex to 0.012 μM−1 s−1 for the reaction between OmcA and Fe-citrate. The biphasic reaction kinetics was attributed to redox potential differences among the heme groups or redox site heterogeneity within the cytochromes. The results of redox potential and reorganization energy calculations showed that the reaction rate was influenced mostly by the relatively large reorganization energy. The results demonstrate that ligand complexation plays an important role in microbial dissimilatory reduction and mineral transformation of iron, as well as other redox-sensitive metal species in nature.

An investigation of the spectral and some kinetic properties of a chemically modified cytochrome c is presented. The kinetics of reduction by chromous ion and ascorbate are shown to be unchanged from that of the native molecule, as are the kinetics of NO binding. The effects of pH on the visible spectrum are discussed in terms of a possible change in the pattern of co-ordination of the molecule with changing pH.

Studies on horse heart cytochrome c polymers were carried out by stopped-flow and photolysis techniques, to investigate the properties of the CO complex and the kinetics of electron transfer, mainly of the dimeric and tetrameric forms. CO binding, which does not occur with native monomers, proceeds at both pH7.0 and pH9.6, and appears to follow complex kinetics: an initial phase is observed, which is CO-concentration-dependent, followed by a very slow monomolecular phase (k~2×10-3s-1 at pH7) before establishment of equilibrium. Photodissociation of the CO complex has a very low quantum yield, probably less than 0.1. Static titration data of the dimer gave an ‘n’ value of 0.4. These data strongly suggest heterogeneity of the population of binding sites, and have been interpreted in terms of the existence of different structures, probably owing to the non-unique type of binding of monomers during polymerization. Polymers of cytochrome c carboxymethylated on the methionine residue normally ligated to iron show simple CO recombination kinetics after photolytic removal (kon=1.5×106m-1·s-1 at pH6). We therefore suggest that, for native cytochrome c, polymerization has an effect on the lability of the haem crevice, rendering the iron available for binding ligands, without, however, forming the structure of a truly open crevice. Electron transfer is, on the other hand, a simple process, and no gross differences are observed between monomer and polymers. A simple model, taking into account all these data, is suggested.

The reaction mechanism of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS) reductase (EC 1.8.99.2) from Thiobacillus thioparus was studied using difference spectrum and stopped-flow techniques. The enzyme-bound FAD was rapidly reduced by sulfite with a first order rate constant of 97.1 s−1. The addition of AMP induced further spectral changes in the reduced enzyme which were consistent with the oxidation of FADH2 to the red (anionic) semiquinone FADH∙) and the concomitant reduction of nonheme iron to the ferrous state. Superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) or anaerobiosis inhibited the reduction of cytochrome c by the enzyme only to the extent of 25–35%, indicating the existence of a direct reduction of cytochrome c by the enzyme without involving O2−. The activity of enzyme with cytochrome c was inhibited by increasing the potassium phosphate concentration, the inhibition being more pronounced with horse heart cytochrome c than with Candida krusei cytochrome c.

Tris picolinate complexes of CO111 and RU111 have been synthesized, and their standard potentials measured (432 �10, 403 �2 mV) at 25�C and ionic strength 0.1 mol dm-3. The self-exchange rate constant of Ru ( pic )3O/- was found to be (1 .4 �0.9)×108 dm3 mol-1 s-l, from reaction with cytochrome C(II), Co( bpy )32+ and ~Co( phen )32+. For the reaction between Fe( dipic )2- and cytochrome ~(II), at 2S260C, pH 5.5 and I 0.1 mol dm-3 (KNO3), the second-order rate constant was (3.2 �0.l)×105 dm3 mol-1 s-1,with ΔH+ 19.9 �0.9 kJ mol-1 and ΔS+ -72.8 �.7 J K-1 mol-l. The self-exchange rate constant of Fe( dipic )2-/2- was reevaluated as (5.8 �0.2)×106 dm3 mol-l s-1.
