Yeast cytochrome c peroxidase. Coordination and spin states of heme prosthetic group

T Yonetani and H Anni

Electronic absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic examinations revealed that a freshly prepared cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) contains a penta-coordinated high spin ferric protoheme group. The penta-coordinated high spin state of fresh CCP is maintained in a remarkably wide range of pH (4-8). The freezing of fresh CCP induces the reversible coordination of an internal strong field ligand to the heme iron to form a hexa-coordinated low spin compound, which shows EPR extrema at gx = 2.70, gy = 2.20 and gz = 1.78. In the presence of glycerol the freezing-induced artifacts are eliminated and the fresh enzyme exhibits an EPR spectrum of rhombically distorted axial symmetry with EPR extrema at gx = 6.4, gy = 5.3, and gz = 1.97 at 10 K, characteristic of the penta-coordinated high spin enzyme. Upon aging CCP is converted to a hexa-coordinated high spin state due to the coordination of an internal weak field ligand to the heme iron. This conversion is accelerated at acidic pH values, and its reversibility varies from fully reversible to irreversible depending on the degree of enzyme aging. The aging-induced hexa-coordinated CCP is unreactive with hydrogen peroxide and exhibits an EPR spectrum of purely axial symmetry with extrema at g = 6 and g = 2 and an electronic absorption spectrum with an intensified Soret band at 408 nm (epsilon 408 nm = 120 mM-1 cm-1) and a blue-shifted charge-transfer band at 620 nm. Spectroscopic properties of different coordination and spin states of fresh and aged CCPs are compiled in order to formulate a generalized spectroscopic characterization of penta- and hexa-coordinated high spin ferric hemoproteins.
