Peter Hildebrandt,*, t, § Thomas Heimburg, 1, 11 Derek Marsh, 1 and Gary L. Powell1 Max-Planck-Instituí für biophysikalische Chemie, Abteilung Spektroskopie, D-3400 Gottingen, FRG, and Department of Biological Sciences, ClemsonUniversity, Clemson, South Carolina 29634-1903 Received August 23, 1989; Revised Manuscript Received October 16, 1989 abstract: The fully oxidized complex of cytochrome c and cytochrome oxidase formed at low ionic strength was studied by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The spectra of the complex and of the individual components were compared over a wide frequency range using Soret band excitation. In both partners of the complex, structural changes occur in theheme groups and in their immediate protein environment. Thespectra of the complex in the 1600-1700 cm-1 frequency range were dominated by bands from the cytochrome oxidase component, whereas those in the 300-500 cm™ 1 range were dominated by bands from the cytochrome c component, hence allowing separation of the contributionsfrom thetwo individual species. For cytochrome c, spectral changes were observed which correspondto the induction of the conformational state I and the six-coordinated low-spin configuration of state II on binding to cytochrome oxidase. While instate I the structure of cytochrome c is essentially the same as in solution, state II is characterized by a structural rearrangement of the heme pocket, leading to a weakening of the axial iron-methionine bond and an opening of the heme crevice which is situated in the center of the binding domain for cytochrome oxidase. The relative contributions of the two cytochrome c states were estimated to be approximately in the ratio 1: 1 in the complex. It is proposed that the electron transferfrom cytochrome c to cytochrome oxidase is controlled by the conformational equilibrium between the states I and II which exhibit different redox potentials. The spectral changes assignable to heme a are interpreted in terms of alterations in the interaction of the cytochrome oxidase protein matrix with the peripheral substituents of the heme group, on binding cytochrome c. It is suggested that, in particular, the mobility of the formyl group is reduced. These structural changes may reflect the establishment of the proper alignment of the heme a group for the electron transfer. Subtle effects on the resonance Raman bands of heme a3 are attributed to modified interactions of the-electron systems of the porphyrin with adjacent amino acid side chains, suggesting that there is a structural communication between the cytochrome c binding site and the heme a3 pocket. Spectra of the complex between the reduced cytochrome c and the partially oxidized cyanide-ligated cytochrome oxidasealso indicated that conformational changes take place in these redoxpartners. e electron-transfer reaction from cytochrome c (cyt c) 1 to cytochrome oxidase (cyt ox; EC 1.9. 3.1) constitutes the terminal step of the respiratory chain of aerobic organisms (Dickerson & Timkovich, 1975; Pettigrew & Moore, 1987). Cyt c, whose prostheticgroup is a heme c, delivers the electrons required for the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. This process is coupled tothe synthesis of ATP, the ultimate source of chemical energy for metabolic processes. Cyt ox contains four reducible sites, two hemes (a, a3) and two copper centers (Cua, Cub)(Wikstróm et al., 1981). In the first step of the redox process, ferrocytochrome c binds tightly to the cytosolic face of the membrane-spanning cytochrome oxidase enzyme. This complex is held together via strong electrostatic interactions between the positively charged lysine-rich domain around the …
