The conversion of myeloperoxidase to compounds I and II in the presence of H2O2 has been reinvestigated in order to explain the abnormal stoichiometry of compound I formation and the fast spontaneous decay of compound I to compound II. Rapid-scan studies show that at least a 20-fold excess of H2O2 is required to obtain a good spectrum of relatively pure compound I; a further increase in H2O2 concentration causes compound I to be reduced to compound II, which is a very stable intermediate. Compound I formation is reversible, with an apparent second-order forward rate constant of (1.8 +/- 0.1) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) and a reverse rate constant of 58 +/- 4 s(-1), giving a constant of 3.2 mu M for the dissociation of compound I to native enzyme and H2O. This reversibility is one factor that can explain the large excess of H2O2 required to form compound I. The apparent second-order rate constant for compound II formation from compound I and H2O2 is (8.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1). We confirm pH dependence studies, which suggest that the formation of compounds I and II is controlled by a residue in the enzyme with a pK(a) of about 4.0. Excess H2O2 is also converted to O-2 via catalase activity of the enzyme. However, we do not consider this a dominant pathway because it fails to account for the fast spontaneous reduction of compound I to compound II. The time courses for both the decay of compound I and the formation of compound II are biphasic. Biphasic kinetics was explained in terms of two possible routes of the reduction of compound I to compound II: a fast reaction with H2O2 and a slow reaction with O-2(-) as reducing agent. Increasing the concentration of H2O2, lowering the pH from neutral to acidic values, or adding SOD to the system results in the convergence of the two phases to a monophasic process. Superoxide was detected as a product in the myeloperoxidase/H2O2 system by the tetranitromethane reduction test. The possibility of an autoreduction pathway for the conversion of compound I to compound II involving the protein moiety and impurities in enzyme preparation is also discussed. Compound II possibly reacts with generated O-2(-) to form native enzyme, but only to a very limited extent. We exclude heme inequivalence as a possible explanation for the abnormal stoichiometry of compound I formation from cyanide binding studies on the dimeric enzyme and its monomer, which indicate that the two heme prosthetic groups of the enzyme have the same reactivity.
