Hemeais a redox cofactor unique to cytochromecoxidases and vital to aerobic respiration. Hemeadiffers from the more common hemebby two chemical modifications, the C-8 formyl group and the C-2 hydroxyethylfarnesyl group. The effects of these porphyrin substituents on ferric and ferrous heme binding and electrochemistry were evaluated in a designed heme protein maquette. The maquette scaffold chosen, [Δ7-H3m]2, is a four-α-helix bundle that contains two bis(3-methyl-l-histidine) heme binding sites with known absolute ferric and ferrous hemebaffinities. Hemesb,o,o+16, and hemea, those involved in the biosynthesis of hemea, were incorporated into the bis(3-methyl-l-histidine) heme binding sites in [Δ7-H3m]2. Spectroscopic analyses indicate that 2 equiv of each heme binds to [Δ7-H3m]2, as designed. Equilibrium binding studies of the hemes with the maquette demonstrate the tight affinity for hemes containing the C-2 hydroxyethylfarnesyl group in both the ferric and ferrous forms. Coupled with the measured equilibrium midpoint potentials, the data indicate that the hydroxyethylfarnesyl group stabilizes the binding of both ferrous and ferric heme by at least 6.3 kcal/mol via hydrophobic interactions. The data also demonstrate that the incorporation of the C-8 formyl substituent in hemearesults in a 179 mV, or 4.1 kcal/mol, positive shift in the heme reduction potential relative to hemeodue to the destabilization of ferric heme binding relative to ferrous heme binding. The two substituents appear to counterbalance each other to provide for tighter hemeaaffinity relative to hemebin both the ferrous and ferric forms by at least 6.3 and 2.1 kcal/mol, respectively. These results also provide a rationale for the reaction sequence observed in the biosynthesis of hemea.
