Intrinsic Properties of Nitric Oxide Binding to Ferrous and Ferric Hemes†
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gas phase studies offer an ideal medium whereby structural and reactivity properties of charged species may be unveiled in the absence of solvent, matrix or counterion effects. In this environment NO binds to iron(II)and iron(III)-hemes with comparable kinetics and equilibrium parameters, conclusively elucidating the factors determining the widely different affinity in protic solvents or in heme proteins. IRMPD spectroscopy of the isolated species provides unambiguous characterization of the gaseous nitrosyl heme complexes.

Heme distortion modulated by ligand-protein interactions in inducible nitric-oxide synthase.
The catalytic center of nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) consists of a thiolate-coordinated heme macrocycle, a tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B) cofactor, and an l-arginine (l-Arg)/N-hydroxyarginine substrate binding site. To determine how the interplay between the cofactor, the substrates, and the protein matrix housing the heme regulates the enzymatic activity of NOS, the CO-, NO-, and CN(-)-bound adducts...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 BM3, NO binding and real-time NO detection.
Nitric oxide is known to coordinate to ferrous heme proteins very tightly, following which it is susceptible to reaction with molecular oxygen or free NO. Its coordination to ferric heme is generally weaker but the resultant complexes are more stable in the presence of oxygen. Here we report determination of the binding constants of Cytochrome P450 BM3 for nitric oxide in the ferric state in th...
متن کاملA conserved Val to Ile switch near the heme pocket of animal and bacterial nitric-oxide synthases helps determine their distinct catalytic profiles.
Nitric oxide (NO) release from nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) is largely dependent on the dissociation of an enzyme ferric heme-NO product complex (Fe(III)NO). Although the NOS-like protein from Bacillus subtilis (bsNOS) generates Fe(III)NO from the reaction intermediate N-hydroxy-l-arginine (NOHA), its NO dissociation is about 20-fold slower than in mammalian NOSs. Crystal structures suggest th...
متن کاملEvaluating the roles of the heme a side chains in cytochrome c oxidase using designed heme proteins.
Heme a is a redox cofactor unique to cytochrome c oxidases and vital to aerobic respiration. Heme a differs from the more common heme b by two chemical modifications, the C-8 formyl group and the C-2 hydroxyethylfarnesyl group. The effects of these porphyrin substituents on ferric and ferrous heme binding and electrochemistry were evaluated in a designed heme protein maquette. The maquette scaf...
متن کاملFlash photolysis studies on nitric oxide-ferrihemoprotein complexes. Evidence for the photodissociation into the ferric state.
In order to study the kinetic behavior of ligand binding, flash photolysis is widely used with various hemoproteins [l-4]. The applicability of this method, however, seems to be limited to the ferrous ligated complexes, such as CO, O2 and NO complexes, since it has been believed that only those ferrous complexes are photodissociable. To extend this technique to the ferric state, we have examine...
