To examine the role of Arg38 in the peroxidative and peroxygenative activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), we have expressed the R38A, R38H, and R38H/H42V mutants. The R38A HRP mutant gives a normal compound I species with H2O2 that is reduced by ferrocyanide to the ferric state without the detectable formation of a compound II species. In the case of the R38H and R38H/H42V mutants, compound I itself is only detected by stopped flow methods. The rates of compound I formation at 4 degrees C are 8.0 x 10(4), 1.3 x 10(6), and 1.6 x 10(3) M-1 s-1 for the R38A, R38H, and R38H/H42V mutants, respectively. The R38A, R38H, and R38H/H42V mutants oxidize guaiacol 10-, 2-, and 55-fold, respectively, more slowly than the wild-type enzyme and oxidize ABTS 6-, 3-, and 32-fold more slowly than the wild-type enzyme. The apparent kcat/K(m) values for thioanisole sulfoxidation and styrene epoxidation indicate that the reaction efficiencies of the R38H and wild-type enzymes are comparable. However, the R38A and R38H/H42V mutants are 190- and 1400-fold more efficient as sulfoxidation catalysts, and 25- and 26-fold more efficient as styrene epoxidation catalysts, respectively, than the wild-type enzyme. Thus, even though Arg38 plays a role in the formation and stabilization of compounds I and II, its replacement by other residues can be used to improve peroxygenative catalysis.
