Replacement of Phe-82 with a serine residue results in conformational changes both near and remote from the mutation site. Those groups undergoing positional shifts near Ser-82 include Arg-13, Gly-83 and-84, and the CBB methyl of the heme group. Remote shifts are centered about the propionate of pyrrole ring A and principally involve Asn-52, Trp-59, and an internally buried water molecule, WAT-166. Placement of a serine side chain at position 82 also leads to the formation of a large solvent channel which substantially increases the solvent accessibility of the heme group. This would appear to account for the much lower reduction potential observed for this protein. The detrimental effect of Ser-82 on both the steady-state activity and the rate of electron transfer in complexation with cytochrome c peroxidase can also be interpreted interms of the modified character of the region about the mutation site. The remote conformational changes observed appear to represent the equivalent of the initial conformational changes occurring as yeast iso-1-cytochrome c is converted to the fully oxidized state during an electron-transfer event. These results agree well with the proposal [Moore, GR (1983) FEBS Lett. 161, 171-175] that the trigger for conformational changes between oxidation states resides in the nature of the interactions between the heme iron atom and the pyrrole ring A propionate group. Overall, our results support suggestions that Phe-82 in the wild-type protein has at leastthree roles. These include the following: limiting solvent accessibility to the heme, thereby regulating the reduction potential of this protein dielectrically; facilitating the rate of electron transfer by providing the optimal medium along the transfer route; forming contact face interactions with redox partnersto assist in the formation of the productive electron-transfer complex..^^. lthough the mechanism of electron transfer mediated by cytochrome c has been intensively studied, it remains an un-resolved biochemical problem of fundamental importance [see reviews by Mathews (1985) and Poulos and Finzel (1984)]. In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), two isozymes of cytochrome c occur. The most abundant form is yeast iso-1-cy-tochrome c, and the three-dimensional atomic structure of this protein has been recently elucidated in our laboratory (Louie et al., 1988). The tertiary structure of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c is highly homologous with those of other eukaryotic cyto-chromes c (Takano & Dickerson, 1981a; Ochi et al., 1983). However, the yeast protein does have a number of unique structural features. These include alternative conformations for residues-5 to+ 1 at the N-terminal end of the polypeptide chain, residues 19-26 which form a surface ß loop on the His-18 ligand side of the central heme group, and residues 49-56 which are at the C-terminal end of a helical segment forming a part of theheme pocket. 1 An extensive background of functional and genetic studies related to the expression and electron-transfer properties of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c is available. This arises from the versatility of the yeast system which offers several advantages over others in the study of electron-transfer reactions. For example, in contrast to other eukaryotic cytochromes c, many fThis work was supported by grants from the Medical Research Council of …
