KGaA, Weinheim DOI: 10.1002/cbic. 200500030 ChemBioChem 2005, 6, 1356–1359 heme 4-vinyl and 2-vinyl groups with separations of 3.86 and 4.32, respectively (Figure 1). These positions might be suitable for covalent-bond formation if the two residues were replaced with cysteine. Previous study has shown that in cyt b5 a cysteine residue introduced at position 57 could form a thioether bond with the heme 4-vinyl group.[6] In order to further study the possibility of forming a covalent linkage between heme and the protein matrix, we replaced residues Ser71 and Asn57 in the native cyt b5 with cysteine by site-directed mutagenesis.[7] Two major components with different colors (red and green) were obtained from the double-site mutation and were named rb5 N57C/S71C (red) and gb5 N57C/S71C (green).[8] The heme prosthetic group was shown to be covalently attached to the protein matrix in the double-site mutated cyt b5, since the heme could not be extracted with acidified butan-2-one.[6]The hemochrome spectrum of rb5 N57C/S71C in pyridine exhibits an α-band at 550 nm, typical of a heme without double bonds conjugated to the porphyrin π-system, as in c-type cytochromes.[4] This demonstrates that two vinyl groups of heme in rb5 N57C/S71C were saturated and that the heme group was attached through two covalent linkages, since one covalent attachment gives the α-band at 553 nm and when heme is free from covalent attachment the α-band is at 556 nm.[6] Furthermore, blue shifts in the visible spectra of rb5 N57C/S71C in both oxidation states (ferric: 409 nm; ferrous: 416, 524, and 553nm) were observed relative to those of native cytb5 (ferric: 413nm; ferrous: 423, 527, and 556nm). Ishida etal. have illustrated that these blue shifts of absorption bands agree with the differences between natural b-and c-type cytochromes and also with the mutational conversion of cytochrome b to c.[9]
