Revised Manuscript Received November 16, 1987 abstract: The kinetics of reduction of free flavin semiquinones of the individual components of 1: 1 covalent and electrostatic complexes of yeast ferric and ferryl cytochrome c peroxidase and ferric horse cytochrome c have been studied. Covalent cross-linking between the peroxidase and cytochrome c at low ionic strength results in a complex that has kinetic properties both similar to and different from those of the electrostatic complex. Whereas the cytochrome c heme exposure to exogenous reductants is similar in bothcomplexes, the apparent electrostatic environment near the cytochrome c heme edge is markedly different. In the electrostatic complex, a net positive charge is present, whereas in the covalent complex, an essentially neutral electrostatic charge is found. Intracomplex electron transfer within the two complexes is also different. For the covalent complex, electron transfer from ferrous cytochrome c to the ferryl peroxidase has a rate constant of 1560 s'1, which is invariant with respect to changes in the ionic strength. The rate constant for intracomplex electron transfer within the electrostatic complex is highly ionic strength dependent. At µ= 8 mM a value of 750 s'1 has been obtained [Hazzard, J. T., Poulos, T. L., & Tollin, G.(1987) Biochemistry 26, 2836-2848], whereas at µ= 30 mM the value is 3300 s'1. This ionic strength dependency for the electrostatic complex has been interpreted in terms of the rearrangement of the two proteins comprising the complex to a more favorable orientation for electron transfer. In the case of the covalent complex, such reorientation is apparently impeded. These kinetic results are discussed in terms of the hypothetical model for the complex proposed by Poulos and Kraut [Poulos, T. L, & Kraut, J.(1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 10322-10330] and the proposal of Waldmeyer and Bosshard [Waldmeyer, B., & Bosshard, H. R.(1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 5184-5190] regarding the position of sites of covalent cross-linking. great deal of interest has been shown in the structural nature of electrostatically stabilized 1: 1 redox protein com-plexes in order to more fully understand the factors that govern intracomplex electron transfer kinetics. It has generally been accepted that attractive electrostatic interactions are responsible for bringing the two proteins together in such a manner that the prosthetic groups have a favorable distance and orientation for electron transfer from one protein to the other (Salemme, 1978). Several hypothetical structures for elec-tron-transfer complexes have been proposed on the basis of computer graphics modeling (Salemme, 1976; Simondsen et al., 1982; Poulos & Kraut, 1980; Poulos & Mauk, 1983; Mauk et al., 1986). In all these cases, complementary electrostatic interactions which optimize the mutual orientation and distance between redox centers have been a predominant criterion in the model building procedure. If electrostatic forces are indeed a primary factor in optimally orienting the reaction partners, it is reasonable to expect that both the complex association constant and the first-order rate constant for the intracomplex processes associated with electron transfer (these would include any reorientations that influence redoxcenter• This work was supported by a grant from NIH to GT (AM 15057) and by grantsfrom NIH (HL01758) and NSF (DMB8403353) and a fellowship from the Alfred P.
