The steady-state kinetics of high- and low-affinity electron transfer reactions between various cytochromescand cytochromecoxidase (ferrocytochromec:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) preparations were studied spectrophotometrically and polarographically. The dissociation constants for the binding of the first and second molecules of horse cytochromec(I= 15 mM) are 5 · 10−8M and 1 · 10−5M, respectively, close to the spectrophotometricKmvalues and consistent with the controlled binding model for the interaction between cytochromecand cytochrome oxidase (Speck, S.H., Dye, D. and Margoliash, E. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 346–351) which postulates that the binding of a second molecule of cytochromecweakens that of the first, resulting in low-affinity kinetics. While theKmof the polarographically assayed high-affinity reaction is comparable to that observed spectrophotometrically, the low-affinityKmis over an order of magnitude smaller and cannot be attributed to the binding of a second molecule of cytochromec. Increasing the viscosity has no effect on theVmaxof the low-affinity reaction assayed polarographically, but increases theKm. Thus, the transition from high- to low-affinity kinetics is dependent on the frequency of productive collisions, as expected for a hysteresis model ascribing the transition to the trapping of the oxidase in a primed state for turnover. At ionic strengths above 150 mM, the rate of cytochromecoxidation decreases without any correlation to the calculated net charge of the cytochromec, indicating rate-limiting rearrangement of the two proteins in proximity to each other.
