Abstract
The time course of absorbance changes following flash photolysis of the fully-reduced carboxycytochrome oxidase from Bacillus PS3 in the presence of O2 has been followed at 445, 550, 605, and 830 nm, and the results have been compared with the corresponding changes in bovine cytochrome oxidase. The PS3 enzyme has a covalently bound cytochrome c subunit and the fully-reduced species therefore accommodates five electrons instead of four as in the bovine enzyme. In the bovine enzyme, following CO dissociation, four phases were observed with time constants of about 10 microseconds, 30 microseconds, 100 microseconds, and I ms at 445 nm. The initial, 10-microsecond absorbance change at 445 nm is similar in the two enzymes. The subsequent phases involving heme a and CuA are not seen in the PS3 enzyme at 445 nm, because these redox centers are re-reduced by the covalently bound cytochrome c, as indicated by absorbance changes at 550 nm. A reaction scheme consistent with the experimental observations is presented. In addition, internal electron-transfer reactions in the absence of O2 were studied following flash-induced CO dissociation from the mixed-valence enzyme. Comparisons of the CO recombination rates in the mixed-valence and full...Continue Reading
