Conformational dynamics of bovine Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase revealed by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy of the single tyrosine residue.

Abstract:

:The structural dynamics of bovine erythrocyte Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (BSOD) was studied by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. BSOD is a homodimer containing a single tyrosine residue (and no tryptophan) per subunit. Frequency-domain fluorometry revealed a heterogeneous fluorescence decay that could be described with a Lorentzian distribution of lifetimes. The lifetime distribution parameters (center and width) were markedly dependent on temperature. The distribution center (average lifetime) displayed Arrhenius behavior with an Ea of 4.2 kcal/mol, in contrast with an Ea of 7.4 kcal/mol for the single-exponential decay of L-tyrosine. This indicated that thermal quenching of tyrosine emission was not solely responsible for the effect of temperature on the lifetimes of BSOD. The distribution width was broad (1 ns at 8 degrees C) and decreased significantly at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the width of the lifetime distribution increased in parallel to increasing viscosity of the medium. The combined effects of temperature and viscosity on the fluorescence decay suggest the existence of multiple conformational substrates in BSOD that interconvert during the excited-state lifetime. Denaturation of BSOD by guanidine hydrochloride produced an increase in the lifetime distribution width, indicating a larger number of conformations probed by the tyrosine residue in the denatured state. The rotational mobility of the tyrosine in BSOD was also investigated. Analysis of fluorescence anisotropy decay data enabled resolution of two rotational correlation times. One correlation time corresponded to a fast (picosecond) rotation that contributed 62% of the anisotropy decay and likely reported local mobility of the tyrosine ring. The longer correlation time was 50% of the expected value for rotation of the whole (dimeric) BSOD molecule and appeared to reflect segmental motions in the protein in addition to overall tumbling. Comparison between rotational correlation times and fluorescence lifetimes of BSOD indicates that the heterogeneity in lifetimes does not arise from mobility of the tyrosine per se, but rather from dynamics of the protein matrix surrounding this residue which affect its fluorescence decay.
