Revised Manuscript Received December 19, 1991 abstract: The effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the individual components of Azotobacter vinelandii nitrogenase have been examined by kinetic and spectroscopic methods. Incubation of the Fe protein (Av2) for 1 h with stoichiometries of 4-and 8-fold molar excesses of NO to Av2 dimer resulted in a complete loss of activity of Av2 in C2H2-reduction assays. The kinetics of inactivation indicated that the minimum stoichiometry of NO to Av2 required to fully inactivate Av2 lies between 1 and 2. The rate of inactivation of Av2 activity by NO was stimulated up to 2-fold by thepresence of MgATP and MgADP but was unaffected by the presence of sodium dithionite. Unexpectedly, complete inactivation of Av2 by low ratios of NO to Av2 also resulted in a complete loss of its ability to bind MgATP and MgADP. UV-visible spectroscopy indicatedthat the effect of NO on Av2 involves oxidation of the [4Fe-4S] center. EPR spectroscopy revealed that the loss of activity during inactivation of Av2 by NO correlated with the loss of the S-1/2 and 5= 3* 5*/2 signals. Appearance of the classical and intense iron-nitrosyl signal (g= 2.03) was only observed when Av2 was incubated with large molar excesses of NO and the appearance of this signal did not correlate with the loss of Av2 activity. The effects of NO on the MoFe protein (Avl) were more complex thanfor Av2. A time-dependent inactivation of Avl activity (C2H2 reduction) was observed which required considerably higher concentrations of NO than those required to inactivate Av2 (up to 10 kPa). In addition, the effects of NO on Avl were significantly affected by the presence of sodium dithionite. In fact, kinetic evidence suggests that an Avl-catalyzed, NO-dependent consumption of dithionite occurs before Avl is inactivated by NO. A correlation between UV-visible and EPR spectral features and the extent of NO inactivation has been established. The inactivation of either nitrogenase component by NO did not lead to aggregation or dissolution into their constitutive subunits. However, NO inactivationdid cause changes in both proteins since neither NO-treated protein inhibited C2H2-reducing activity in assays containing equimolar concentrations of untreated protein. The effects of NO on both nitrogenase components are interpreted in terms of the known reactivity of NO with Fe-S centers.^ íitrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii is composed of two protein components. The Fe protein (Av2) is a homo-dimeric protein (MT 64000) which contains one [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin-like center which bridges the two subunits. The Fe protein catalyzes the transfer of an electron from reduced carriers to the second nitrogenase component, the molybde-num-iron (MoFe) protein. This electron transfer is coupled with hydrolysis of MgATP. The MoFe protein (Avl, Mr 250 000) is a complex protein (a202) which contains approximately 30 Fe and 2 Mo per tetramer. The metals in the MoFe protein are found in two sets of two chemically distinct clusters (Mortenson & Thorneley, 1979). One of these, the M cluster (6-8 Fe, 1 Mo, 8 S', 1 homocitrate), can be separated intact from the protein in the form of a FeMo cofactor and is re-garded as the site where substrate is reduced (Orme-Johnson, 1985). The majority of the remaining Fe in the tetramer is found in two Fe-S clusters, each of which comprises either two linked [4Fe-4S] clusters or two new clusters of 8 Fe each
