Complexing an iron protoporphyrin IX into a genetically engineered heme pocket of recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) generates an artificial hemoprotein, which can bind O2 in much the same way as hemoglobin (Hb). We previously demonstrated a pair of mutations that are required to enable the prosthetic heme group to bind O2 reversibly: (i) Ile-142-->His, which is axially coordinated to the central Fe2+ ion of the heme, and (ii) Tyr-161-->Phe or Leu, which makes the sixth coordinate position available for ligand interactions [I142H/Y161F (HF) or I142H/Y161L (HL)]. Here we describe additional new mutations designed to manipulate the architecture of the heme pocket in rHSA-heme complexes by specifically altering distal amino acids. We show that introduction of a third mutation on the distal side of the heme (at position Leu-185, Leu-182, or Arg-186) can modulate the O2 binding equilibrium. The coordination structures and ligand (O2 and CO) binding properties of nine rHSA(triple mutant)-heme complexes have been physicochemically and kinetically characterized. Several substitutions were severely detrimental to O2 binding: for example, Gln-185, His-185, and His-182 all generated a weak six-coordinate heme, while the rHSA(HF/R186H)-heme complex possessed a typical bis-histidyl hemochrome that was immediately autoxidized by O2. In marked contrast, HSA(HL/L185N)-heme showed very high O2 binding affinity (P1/2O2 1 Torr, 22 degrees C), which is 18-fold greater than that of the original double mutant rHSA(HL)-heme and very close to the affinities exhibited by myoglobin and the high-affinity form of Hb. Introduction of Asn at position 185 enhances O2 binding primarily by reducing the O2 dissociation rate constant. Replacement of polar Arg-186 with Leu or Phe increased the hydrophobicity of the distal environment, yielded a complex with reduced O2 binding affinity (P1/2O2 9-10 Torr, 22 degrees C), which nevertheless is almost the same as that of human red blood cells and therefore better tuned to a role in O2 transport.  相似文献

The binding properties of O2 and CO to recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) mutants with a prosthetic heme group have been physicochemically and kinetically characterized. Iron(III) protoporphyrin IX (hemin) is bound in subdomain IB of wild-type rHSA [rHSA(wt)] with weak axial coordination by Tyr-161. The reduced ferrous rHSA(wt)-heme under an Ar atmosphere exists in an unusual mixture of four- and five-coordinate complexes and is immediately autoxidized by O2. To confer O2 binding capability on this naturally occurring hemoprotein, a proximal histidine was introduced into position Ile-142 or Leu-185 by site-directed mutagenesis. A single mutant (I142H) and three double mutants (I142H/Y161L, I142H/Y161F, and Y161L/L185H) were prepared. Both rHSA(I142H/Y161L)-heme and rHSA(I142H/Y161F)-heme formed ferrous five-N-coordinate high-spin complexes with axial ligation of His-142 under an Ar atmosphere. These artificial hemoproteins bind O2 at room temperature. Mutation at the other side of the porphyrin, Y161L/L185H, also allowed O2 binding to the heme. In contrast, the single mutant rHSA(I142H)-heme could not bind O2, suggesting that removal of Y161 is necessary to confer reversible O2 binding. Laser flash photolysis experiments showed that the kinetics of CO recombination with the rHSA(mutant)-heme were biphasic, whereas O2 rebinding exhibited monophasic kinetics. This could be due to the two different geometries of the axial imidazole coordination arising from the two orientations of the porphyrin plane in the heme pocket. The O2 binding affinities of the rHSA(mutant)-heme were significantly lower than those of hemoglobin and myoglobin, principally due to the high O2 dissociation rates. Changing Leu-161 to Phe-161 at the distal side increased the association rates of both O2 and CO, which resulted in enhanced binding affinity.  相似文献

Summary : We present the O2 binding properties of recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) mutants complexed with an iron(II) protoporphyrin IX as a prosthetic heme group. Iron(III) protoporphyrin IX (hemin) is bound within subdomain IB of HSA with weak axial coordination by Tyr-161. In order to confer O2 binding capability to this naturally occurring hemoprotein: (i) a proximal histidine was introduced into position Ile-142; and (ii) the coordinated Tyr-161 was replaced with hydrophobic Leu using site-directed mutagenesis. It provided a recombinant HSA double-mutant [rHSA(I142H/Y161L) = rHSA(HL)]. The rHSA(HL)–heme formed a ferrous five-coordinate high-spin complex with axial ligation of His-142 under an Ar atmosphere. This artificial hemoprotein binds O2 at room temperature. Laser flash photolysis experiments demonstrated that O2 rebinidng to rHSA(HL)–heme displays monophasic kinetics, whereas the CO recombination process obeyed a double-exponential pattern. This might be attributable to the two different geometries of the axial imidazole coordination arising from the two orientations of the porphyrin plane in the heme pocket. The O2 binding affinity of rHSA(HL)–heme was considerably lower than those of R-state hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb), principally because of the high O2 dissociation rate constant. The third mutations have been introduced into the distal side of the heme (at position Leu-185 or Arg-186) to increase the O2 binidng affinity. The rHSA(HL/L185N)–heme showed high O2 binding affinity ( : 1 Torr), which is 18-fold greater than that of the original double mutant rHSA(HL)–heme and which is rather close to those of Hb (R-state) and Mb. Furthermore, replacement of polar Arg-186 with Leu or Phe adjusted the O2 binding affinity ( ) to 10 Torr, which is almost equivalent to value for human red blood cells.  相似文献

The time evolution of electronically excited heme (iron II protoporphyrin IX, [Fe(II) PP]) and its associated salt hemin (iron III protoporphyrin IX chloride, [Fe(III) PP-Cl]), has been investigated for the first time in the gas phase by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The porphyrins were excited at 400 nm in the S(2) state (Soret band) and their relaxation dynamics was probed by multiphoton ionization at 800 nm. This time evolution was compared with that of the excited state of zinc protoporphyrin IX [Zn PP] whose S(2) excited state likely decays to the long lived S(1) state through a conical intersection, in less than 100 fs. Instead, for [Fe(II) PP] and [Fe(III) PP-Cl], the key relaxation step from S(2) is interpreted as an ultrafast charge transfer from the porphyrin excited orbital π* to a vacant d orbital on the iron atom (ligand to metal charge transfer, LMCT). This intermediate LMCT state then relaxes to the ground state within 250 fs. Through this work a new, serendipitous, preparation step was found for Fe(II) porphyrins, in the gas phase.  相似文献

Recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) incorporating the iron(II) complex of the tetraphenylporphyrin derivative (FepivP or FecycP) is a synthetic O2‐carrying hemoprotein [albumin‐heme (rHSA‐FepivP or rHSA‐FecycP)], which acts as a red blood cell substitute. The association and dissociation behavior of FepivP and FecycP with rHSA has been initially investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry. A strong heat release appeared after the injection of albumin‐heme into a large molar excess of rHSA. This exothermic enthalpy change was due to the transference of hemes to the other free albumins. The difference in the heme binding affinity to rHSA can be manifested in the enthalpy term. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Electronic absorption and resonance Raman (RR) spectra are reported for hydroxide and aqua complexes of iron(II)-protoporphyrin IX (Fe(II)PP) respectively formed in alkaline and neutral aqueous solutions. These compounds with weak axial ligand(s) represent a biomimetic approach of the unusual coordination of the atypical heme c(i) of membrane cytochrome b6f complexes. Absorption spectra and spectrophotometric titrations show that Fe(II)PP in alkaline aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) binds one hydroxide ion, forming a five-coordinated high-spin (HS) complex. In alkaline aqueous ethanol, we confirm the formation of a dihydroxy complex of Fe(II)PP. In the RR spectra of Fe(II)PP dissolved in neutral aqueous CTABr, a mixture of a four-coordinated intermediate spin form with an HS monoaqua complex (Fe(II)PP(H2O)) was observed. The spectroscopic information obtained for Fe(II)PP(OH-), Fe(II)PP(H2O), and Fe(II)PP(OH-)2 was compared with that previously reported for the 2-methylimidazole and 2-methylimidazolate complexes of Fe(II)PP, representative of the most common axial ligation in HS heme proteins. This investigation reveals a very remarkable analogy in the spectral properties of, in one hand, the Fe(II)PP(H2O) and mono-2-methylimidazole complexes and, in the other hand, the Fe(II)PP(OH-) and mono-2-methylimidazolate complexes. The comparisons of the absorption and RR spectra of Fe(II)PP(OH-) and Fe(II)PP(OH-)2 clearly establish that both a redshift of the pi-pi electronic transitions and an upshift of the v8 RR frequency are spectral parameters indicative of porphyrin doming in HS ferrous complexes. Based upon isotopic substitutions (16OH-,16OD-, and 18OH-), stretching modes of the Fe-OH bond(s) of a ferrous porphyrin were assigned for the first time, i.e., at 435 cm(-1) for Fe(II)PP(OH-) (nu(Fe(II)-OH-)) and at 421 cm(-1) for Fe(II)PP(OH-)2 (nu(s)(Fe(II)-(OH-)2). The spectroscopic and redox properties of Fe(II)PP(H2O), Fe(II)PP(OH-), and heme c(i) were discussed and favor a water coordination for the heme c(i) iron.  相似文献

Gaseous iron protoporphyrin IX (heme) ions, Fe(PP-IX)+, obtained by electrospray ionization of a methanol solution of hemin chloride, are allowed to react with ozone, forming a species that is tentatively assigned the structure of an oxo complex, namely, an oxo iron(IV) protoporphyrin IX radical-cation species, (PP-IX).+FeIV=O. This species, representing the naked core of the putative active oxidant (compound I) of heme enzymes, is characterized by its reactivity behavior in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, performing as an active O-atom donor. A quite distinct reactivity is displayed by an isomeric species, holding the additional oxygen on the porphyrin frame, Fe(PP-IX(O))+. This isomer undergoes a ligand addition process, as was previously observed for Fe(PP-IX)+.  相似文献

We present the photophysical properties of complexes of recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) with Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) and their activities in the photosensitized reduction of water to hydrogen (H2) using methyl viologen (MV2+) as an electron relay. The ZnPP is bound in subdomain IB of wild-type rHSA [rHSA(wt] by an axial coordination of Tyr-161 and, in the rHSA(I142H/Y161L) mutant [rHSA(His], by a His-142 coordination. Both the rHSA(wt)-ZnPP and rHSA(His)-ZnPP complexes showed a long-lived photoexcited triplet state with lifetimes (tauT) of 11 and 2.5 ms, respectively. The accommodation of ZnPP into the protein matrix efficiently eliminated the collisional triplet self-quenching process. The addition of a water-soluble electron acceptor, MV2+, resulted in a significant decrease in the triplet lifetime. The transition absorption spectrum revealed the oxidative quenching of rHSA-3ZnPP* by MV2+. The quenching rate constant (kq) and backward electron transfer rate constant (kb) were determined to be 1.4 x 10(7) and 4.7 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1) for rHSA(wt)-ZnPP. In the presence of the colloidal PVA-Pt as a catalyst and triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial electron donor, the photosensitized reduction of water to H2 takes place. The efficiency of the photoproduction of H2 was greater than that of the system using the well-known organic chromophore, tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphinatozinc(II) (ZnTMPyP4+), under the same conditions.  相似文献

Abstract Treatment of imbibed embryonic axes taken from seeds of Pisum sativum with N-phenylimide S-23142, a herbicide that has been suggested to inhibit protoporphyrin synthesis, or with N -methyl mesoporphyrin IX, an inhibitor of the iron chelatase for heme, resulted in a significant decrease in the amount of spectrophotometrically detectable phytochromc in the axes in both cases. However, the amount of immunochemically detectable phytochrome was not affected by either treatment. If S-23142 inhibits the synthesis of protoporphyrin IX in pea, it appears that the conversion of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX is involved in the biosynthesis of the phytochrome chromophore. The conversion of protoporphyrin IX to heme (Fe-protoporpbyrin) also appears to be a step in the biosynthesis of the chromophore, since N -methyl mesoporphyrin IX prevented the synthesis of spectrophotometrically detectable phytochrome but did not affect the magnesium chelatase activity required for the synthesis of chlorophyll in pea embryonic axes. The results suggest that protoporphyrinogen IX, protoporphyrin IX and heme are intermediates in the biogenesis of the phytochromc chromophore. The pathway to phytochromobilin might become fixed after protoporphyrin IX, being directed toward the Fe branch for heme rather than to the Mg branch for chlorophyll.  相似文献

A new biomimetic model for the heterodinuclear heme/copper center of respiratory oxidases is described. It is derived from iron(III) protoporphyrin IX by covalent attachment of a Gly-L-His-OMe residue to one propionic acid substituent and an amino-bis(benzimidazole) residue to the other propionic acid substituent of the porphyrin ring, yielding the Fe(III) complex 1, and subsequent addition of a copper(II) or copper(I) ion, according to needs. The fully oxidized Fe(III)/Cu(II) complex, 2, binds azide more strongly than 1, and likely contains azide bound as a bridging ligand between Fe(III) and Cu(II). The two metal centers also cooperate in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide, as the peroxide adducts obtained at low temperature for 1 and 2 display different optical features. Support to this interpretation comes from the investigation of the peroxidase activity of the complexes, where the activation of hydrogen peroxide has been studied through the phenol coupling reaction of p-cresol. Here the presence of Cu(II) improves the catalytic performance of complex 2 with respect to 1 at acidic pH, where the positive charge of the Cu(II) ion is useful to promote O-O bond cleavage of the iron-bound hydroperoxide, but it depresses the activity at basic pH because it can stabilize an intramolecular hydroxo bridge between Fe(III) and Cu(II). The reactivity to dioxygen of the reduced complexes has been studied at low temperature starting from the carbonyl adducts of the Fe(II) complex, 3, and Fe(II)/Cu(I) complex, 4. Also in this case the adducts derived from the Fe(II) and Fe(II)/Cu(I) complexes, that we formulate as Fe(III)-superoxo and Fe(III)/Cu(II)-peroxo exhibit slightly different spectral properties, showing that the copper center participates in a weak interaction with the dioxygen moiety.  相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) and UO2(II) chelates of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthalenol (TAN) were reported. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the stability constants of the metal complexes were calculated pH-metrically at 25 degrees C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The solid complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, molar conductance, IR, magnetic and diffuse reflectance spectra. The complexes were found to have the formulae [M(L)2] for M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II); [M(L)X].nH2O for M = Cu(II) (X = AcO, n = 3), Pd(II) (X = Cl, n = 0) and UO2(II) (X = NO3, n = 0), and [Fe(L)Cl2(H2O)].2H2O. The molar conductance data reveal that the chelates are non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate manner with ONN donor sites of the naphthyl OH, azo N and thiazole N. An octahedral structure is proposed for Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO2(II) complexes and a square planar structure for Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that water molecules (coordinated and hydrated) and anions are removed in two successive steps followed immediately by decomposition of the ligand molecule in the subsequent steps. The relative thermal stability of the chelates is evaluated. The final decomposition products are found to be the corresponding metal oxides. The thermodynamic activation parameters, such as E*, delta H*, delta S* and delta G* are calculated from the TG curves.  相似文献

A heme model system has been developed in which the heme-propionate is the only proton donating/accepting site, using protoporphyrin IX-monomethyl esters (PPIX(MME)) and N-methylimidazole (MeIm). Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of these model compounds have been examined in acetonitrile solvent. (PPIX(MME))Fe(III)(MeIm)(2)-propionate (Fe(III)~CO(2)) is readily reduced by the ascorbate derivative 5,6-isopropylidine ascorbate to give (PPIX(MME))Fe(II)(MeIm)(2)-propionic acid (Fe(II)~CO(2)H). An excess of the hydroxylamine TEMPOH or of hydroquinone similarly reduces Fe(III)~CO(2), and TEMPO and benzoquinone oxidize Fe(II)~CO(2)H to return to Fe(III)~CO(2). The measured equilibrium constants, and the determined pK(a) and E(1/2) values, indicate that Fe(II)~CO(2)H has an effective bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 67.8 ± 0.6 kcal mol(-1). In these PPIX models, electron transfer occurs at the iron center and proton transfer occurs at the remote heme propionate. According to thermochemical and other arguments, the TEMPOH reaction occurs by concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET), and a similar pathway is indicated for the ascorbate derivative. Based on these results, heme propionates should be considered as potential key components of PCET/CPET active sites in heme proteins.  相似文献

Some mixed-valence Fe(II) Fe(III) complexes of thiocarboxylic acids and straight chain fatty acids with general formula [Fe(II)Fe(III)(2)O(SOCR)(6)(H(2)O)(3)] and [Fe(II)Fe(III)(2)O(SOCR)(3)(OOCR')(3)(CH(3)OH)(3)] (where, R=CH(3) or C(6)H(5) and R'=C(13)H(27), C(15)H(31) or C(17)H(35)) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, spectral (infrared, electronic and M?ssbauer) studies, molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The infrared spectra suggested bridging nature of carboxylate and thiocarboxylate anions along with upsilon(asym)(Fe(3)O) vibrations in the complexes. M?ssbauer studies revealed two resolved quadrupole doublets at 120-315 K confirming the presence of Fe(II) and Fe(III) moieties in the complexes. This was supported by the observed electronic spectral bands in the complexes at room temperature. The spectrum showed a band at around 13,800 cm(-1) which indicated an intervalence-transfer. Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed weak antiferromagnetic coupling related to mixed-valence pairs with S(2)=2, em leader S(1)=S(3)=5/2 spin exchange model. Conductance data indicated, the complexes were non-electrolytes in nitrobenzene. A structure has been established on the basis of these studies.  相似文献

The phototoxicities of six metalloporphyrin dimethylesters (i.e. cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), tin (Sn) and zinc (Zn) were investigated. Hemolysis of human erythrocytes and inactivation of two enzymes (acetylcholinesterase and beta-galactosidase) were used to assess the phototoxic efficacy of these metal chelates. Tin protoporphyrin (SnPP), the only porphyrin found to hemolyze erythrocytes at a concentration of 40 microM (radiation dose, 230 kJ m-2), was much less efficient than either free protoporphyrin IX or hematoporphyrin. SnPP completely inactivated beta-galactosidase at concentrations above 15 microM (radiation dose, 75 kJ m-2) and drastically interfered with acetylcholinesterase activity at a concentration of 150 microM (radiation dose, 75 kJ m-2). CoPP, CuPP, MnPP, NiPP and ZnPP were ineffective photohemolytic agents at 40 microM (radiation dose, 230 kJ m-2), but inactivated acetylcholinesterase and beta-galactosidase activity to varying degrees. These results suggest that (i) metal ions reduce the phototoxicity of protoporphyrin IX, (ii) different metal ions reduce the phototoxic activity of protoporphyrin IX to different degrees and (iii) the biological activities of the various metal complexes vary in different assay systems.  相似文献

Dinuclear Cd(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes of L2OH (L2OH = 1,3-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropane) are compared as catalysts for cleavage of the RNA analogue HpPNP (HpPNP = 2-hydroxypropyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate) at 25 degrees C, I = 0.10 M (NaNO(3)). Zn(II) and Cu(II) readily form dinuclear complexes at millimolar concentrations and a 2:1 ratio of metal ion to L2OH at neutral pH. The dinuclear Zn(2)(L2O) and Cu(2)(L2O) complexes have a bridging alkoxide group that brings together the two cations in close proximity to facilitate cooperative catalysis. Under similar conditions, the dinuclear complex of Cd(II) is a minor species in solution; only at high pH values (pH 10.4) does the Cd(2)(L2O) complex become the predominant species in solution. Analysis of the second-order rate constants for cleavage of HpPNP by Zn(2)(L2O) is straightforward because a linear dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constant on dinuclear complex is observed over a wide pH range. In contrast, plots of pseudo-first-order rate constants for cleavage of HpPNP by solutions containing a 2:1 ratio of Cd(II) to L2OH as a function of increasing L2OH are curved, and second-order rate constants are obtained by fitting the kinetic data to an equation for the formation of the dinuclear Cd(II) complex as a function of pH and [L2OH]. Second-order rate constants for cleavage of HpPNP by these dinuclear complexes at pH 9.3 and 25 degrees C vary by 3 orders of magnitude in the order Cd(2)(L2O) (2.8 M(-)(1) s(-)(1)) > Zn(2)(L2O) (0.68 M(-)(1) s(-)(1)) > Cu(2)(L2O) (0.0041 M(-1) s(-1)). The relative reactivity of these complexes is discussed in terms of the different geometric preferences and Lewis acidity of the dinuclear Zn(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) complexes, giving insight into the importance of these catalyst properties in the cleavage of phosphate diesters resembling RNA.  相似文献
