Oxyhemerythrin, the respiratory protein of the marine sipunculid Phascolopsis gouldii, was investigated by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The presence of a u-oxo-bridged binuclear iron center in oxyhemerythrin was established by finding vs (Fe-0-Fe) at 486 cm'1 with ultraviolet excitation. In H2180 solvent, the 486-cm" 1 vibrational mode shifts to= 475 cm'1, a shift similar in magnitude to that observed for other u-oxo-bridged Fe (III) proteins, such as several methemerythrins and ribonucleotide reductase. A study of the enhancement profile of the^(Fe-O-Fe) mode in oxyhemerythrin indicatesthat resonance occurs by coupling to the= 360-nm transition and serves to assign this band to an O2' Fe (III) charge-transfer process. By contrast, although the vs (Fe-O-Fe) mode in azidomethemerythrin at 507 cm'1 is also strongly enhanced in the UV, this mode is observable with visible-light excitation. Its enhancement profile is complex, showing apparent maxima at= 525, 430, and< 350 nm. These data indicate that significant differences exist in the electronic structures of the two chromophores. Further new findings in the present study are the observation of spectral lines at= 753 cm" 1 in oxyhemerythrin and 768 cm'1 in azidomethemerythrin that are assigned to the asymmetricvibration of the Fe-O-Fe bridge atoms. These frequencies also undergo isotope shifts in H2180 by= 35 cm'1 to lower energy, as expected from modelcomplexes where the infrared active^(Fe-O-Fe) have been well documented. In addition, the Fe-O-Fe deformation has been identified in azidomethemerythrin where it occurs at 292 cm" 1 in H2lsO and 286 cm" 1 in H2180. The new data provide a firm ground for the resonance Raman spectroscopic characterizationof this structural unit in metalloproteins. D20 solvent effects were also investigated; whereas azidomethemerythrin shows no deuterium-sensitive vibrational modes, both v (OO) at 844 cm" 1 and v (Fe-02) at 503 cm" 1 in oxyhemerythrin were seen to shift in D20 by+ 4 and-3 cm-1, respectively. Since the deuterium isotope effect appears to be specific for oxyhemerythrin, it is likely that the bound peroxide is protonated. The ability of the hydroperoxide moiety to undergo internal hydrogen bonding with theu-oxo bridge oxygen may be the key to electronic structural differences in oxyhemerythrin relative to methemerythrin and ligated methemerythrins.Hemerythrin is the respiratory protein of several marinein-vertebrates. The oxygen binding site of hemerythrin contains two non-heme irons which reversibly bind one molecule of dioxygen. 1'3 The deoxy formof the protein contains high-spin Fe (II) with octahedral coordination. 2'4 Upon binding dioxygen, charge is transferred from both irons to the dioxygen to give a peroxide complex,(Fenl) 2-022". This representation of the active site of oxyhemerythrin is supported by spectroscopic studies which have shown both irons to be high-spin Fe (III) witheffectively octahedral
