Photodissociation of fully reduced, carbonmonoxy cytochromebo3causes ultrafast transfer of carbon monoxide (C⋮O) from heme iron to CuBin the binuclear site. At low temperatures, the C⋮O remains bound to CuBfor extended times. Here, we show that the binding of C⋮O to CuBperturbs the IR stretch of an un-ionized carboxylic acid residue, which is identified as Glu286 by mutation to Asp or to Cys. Before photodissociation, the carbonyl (CO)-stretching frequency of this carboxylic acid residue is 1726 cm-1for Glu286 and 1759 cm-1for Glu286Asp. These frequencies are definitive evidence for un-ionized R-COOH and suggest that the carboxylic acids are hydrogen-bonded, though more extensively in Glu286. In Glu286Cys, this IR feature is lost altogether. We ascribe the frequency shifts in the CO IR absorptions to the effects of binding photodissociated C⋮O to CuB, which are relayed to the 286 locus. Conversely, the 2065 cm-1C⋮O stretch of CuB−CO is markedly affected by both mutations. These effects are ascribed to changes in the Lewis acidity of CuB, or to displacement of a CuBhistidine ligand by C⋮O. C⋮O binding to CuBalso induces a downshift of an IR band which can be attributed to an aromatic C−H stretch, possibly of histidine imidazole, at about 3140 cm-1. The results suggest an easily polarizable, through-bond connectivity between one of the histidine CuBligands and the carboxylic group of Glu286. A chain of bound water molecules may provide such a connection, which is of interest in the context of the proton pump mechanism of the heme-copper oxidases.
