We examined the anion binding behavior of the Mg(Mn) site in cytochromecoxidase to test a possible role of this center in proton pumping.Rhodobacter sphaeroidesgrown in a Mn(II)-rich medium replaces the intrinsic Mg(II) ion with an EPR-detectable Mn(II) ion without change in activity. Due to its close proximity and a shared ligand, oxidized CuAis spin-coupled to the Mn(II) ion, affecting the EPR spectrum. An examination of both bovine andR.s.oxidase crystal structures reveals a hydrogen-bonding pattern in the vicinity of the Mg(II) site that is consistent with three water ligands of the Mg(Mn) center when CuAis oxidized. In the reduced structure, one water molecule in the vicinity of the CuAligand, E198, moves closer, appearing to be converted into an ionically bonded hydronium ion, while a second water molecule bonded to Mg(Mn) shows evidence of conversion to a hydroxide. The implied proton movement is proposed to be part of a redox-linked export of a pumped proton from the binuclear center into the exit pathway. To test the model, cyanide and azide were added to the oxidized and reduced forms of the enzyme, and Mn(II) CW-EPR and ESEEM spectra were recorded. Addition of azide broadened the CW-EPR spectra for both oxidized and reduced enzyme. Cyanide addition affected the Mn(II) CW-EPR spectrum of reduced cytochromecoxidase by increasing Mn(II) zero field splitting and broadening the spectral line shapes but had no effect on oxidized enzyme. ESEEM measurements support a differential ability of Mn(II) to bind cyanide in the reduced state of cytochromecoxidase. This new observation of anion binding at the Mg/Mn site is of interest in terms of accessibility of the buried site and its potential role in redox-dependent proton pumping.
