Gang-yu Liu, Christine A. Grygon, and Thomas G. Spiro** Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544-1009 Received December 1, 1988; Revised Manuscript Received February 22, 1989 abstract: Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectra are reported for cytochrome c (cyt c) in Fe11 and Fe111 oxidation states atlow (0.005 M) and high (0.9-1.5 M) ionic strength. With 200-nm excitation the amide band intensities are shown to remain constant, establishingthat redoxstate and ionic strength have no influence on the-helical content. The tyrosine 830/850-cm" 1 doublet, however, shows a loss in 830-cm" 1 intensity at I= 0.005 M for the Fe111 protein, suggesting a weakening or a loss of H-bonding from an internal tyrosine, probably Tyr-48, which is H-bonded to a heme propionate group in cyt c crystals. Excitation profiles of tryptophan peak at~ 229 nm for both Fe11 and Fe111 forms of cyt c, but at~ 218 nm for aqueous tryptophan. The~ 2200-cm'1 red shift of the resonant electronic transition is attributed to the Trp-59 residue being buried and H-bonded. Consistent with this Trp environment, the H-bond-sensitive 877-cm" 1 Trp band is strong and sharp, and the 1357/1341-cm" 1 doublet has a large intensity ratio,—1.5, for both Fe11 and Fe111 cyt c. The 877-cm" 1-band frequency shifts to 860 cm'1 when the Trp indole proton is replaced by a deuteron. This band was used to show that Trp H/D exchange in D20 is much faster for Fe111 than Fe11 cyt c. The half-time for exchange at room temperature is estimated to be~ 30 and-~ 5 h, respectively, for Fe11 and Fe111 when examined at I=0.005. Increasing the ionic strength to 1.5 M, however, raises the half-time to~ 30 h for Fe111 cyt c and to a much larger value for the Fe11 cyt c. This variation in the protein dynamics is consistent with recent evidence that the radius of gyration of the Fe111 protein increases with decreasing ionic strength (Trewhella et al., 1988).
