Abstract：
:Diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEP) is an electrophilic reagent that is used to modify reversibly the histidine residues of proteins. Unfortunately, the lability of the acylated histidine adduct usually does not permit the isolation and identification of the modified histidine. By use of 500-MHz proton NMR spectroscopy, it has been possible to identify the C-H resonances of the nonaxial histidines of trypsin-solubilized bovine, rabbit, and porcine cytochrome b5 and therefore observe the interaction of DEP with specific histidine residues of cytochrome b5. In addition, the pKa of the peripheral histidines of bovine and rabbit cytochrome b5 have been measured in D2O. In the bovine protein it was found that the histidines are modified sequentially with increasing DEP concentration in the order His-26 greater than His-15 greater than His-80. This order is maintained in the rabbit protein with the following additions: His-26 approximately His-27 greater than His-15 greater than or equal to His-17 greater than His-80. The relative reactivity of the peripheral histidines with DEP was rationalized by considering three of their characteristics: (1) the pKa of the histidine, (2) the fraction of the side chain exposed to the solvent, and (3) the hydrogen-bond interactions of the imidazole ring.
