Protein-induced changes in nonplanarity of the porphyrin in nickel cytochrome c probed by resonance Raman spectroscopy

Abstract

The influence of the protein on the nonplanarity of the macrocycle for nickel(II)-reconstituted cytochrome c (NiCyt-c) has been investigated with pH-dependent resonance Raman and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and molecular mechanics calculations. The spectra reveal that NiCyt-c near neutral pH has axially coordinated Ni, but below pH 3 and above pH 12, four-coordinate species predominate. The shape of the structure-sensitive Raman line nu10 of NiCyt-c is asymmetric and broad and it changes with pH. This broad line can be decomposed well into at least two sublines, a low-frequency line that results from a nonplanar conformer and a high-frequency line that arises from a nearly planar conformer. Upon lowering the pH from 3.0 to 1.0, the amount of the nonplanar conformer decreases relative to that of the planar conformer. The decreased nonplanarity can be accounted for in terms of the disruption of a hydrogen-bonding network in the peptide backbone upon lowering the pH. Molecular mechanics (MM) calculations on iron(III) and nickel(II) microperoxidase 5 (MP-5) as well as some model heme derivatives have been carried out in order to locate the part of the protein that causes the heme distortion observed in the X-ray crystal stru...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
