We have examined the kinetics and mechanism by which iron can displace copper at the specific metal-binding sites of ovotransferrin. Fe2+was added to Cu2+-ovotransferrin-CO32−in the presence of NaHCO3and ambient O2. The reaction has been followed by standard and stopped-flow spectrophotometry, EPR spectroscopy and analysis of chromogen-reactive Fe2+. The reaction is best described as triphasic. An initial jump in absorbance takes place in the first 2 s. In the next minute there is a further increase in absorbance and shift in the spectral maximum from 440 to 446 nm. The third phase is complex. The bulk of the spectrophotometric change, a decrease in absorbance with a shift to a maximum of 453 nm, lasts approx. 3 min. Minor spectral and EPR changes, however, take place over the next several hours. Chromogenic analysis of Fe2+indicates that approx. 1 min is reqired to oxidize the Fe2+. EPR spectra reveal the formation of an Fe3+-ovotransferrin complex within the first 20 s; however, this lacks the characteristic doublet of specific Fe3+-ovotransferrin-CO32−. The simultaneous presence of specific Cu2+-ovotransferrin-CO32−and Fe3+-ovotransferrin-CO32−s signals suggests a period in which the protein specifically binds both metal ions perhaps resulting from a differential reactivity of the two metal-binding sites. The addition of Cu(NO3)2to Fe3+-ovotransferrin-CO32−resulted in a complex with specific Fe3+and non-specific Cu2+. The EPR spectrum of this complex and the final product of our displacement reaction were virtually identical. Distinct parallels in reaction of Cu2+-ovotransferrin-CO32−with Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, Fe(NO3)3and Fe3+-nitrolotriacetic acid were observed. A reaction sequence involving the binding and oxidation of non-specific Fe2+followed by Cu2+displacement by Fe3+at the specific sites and binding of non-specific Cu2+is suggested.
