Abstract:
:The structures of hemes a and a3 of maize and wheat germ cytochrome c oxidase were investigated by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Comparison between the plant and mammalian cytochrome oxidases revealed that (i) the vinyl groups associated with hemes a and a3 vibrate at higher frequencies in the plant enzyme than in the mammalian enzyme, suggesting different degrees of interaction between the heme cores and their periphery; (ii) aside from the geometry of the vinyl group, the structure of heme a3 in plant cytochrome oxidase is essentially unchanged from that of its mammalian counterpart; (iii) the vibrational band associated with the formyl group of reduced heme a shows relatively weak enhancement in the Soret-excited resonance Raman spectra of maize and wheat germ cytochrome oxidase, suggesting that the formyl group of ferrous heme a in the plant enzymes is conjugated only slightly to the porphyrin ring; and (iv) for oxidized heme a, the formyl vibration is strongly enhanced, but its frequency indicates a weaker interaction with the protein milieu relative to the mammalian enzyme. These observations suggest that the local environment around the formyl position of the heme a chromophore differs in the plant and mammalian cytochrome oxidases. The implication of the latter feature in the mechanism of proton pumping by cytochrome oxidase is discussed.
