The dissociation constants for the binding of oxidized and reduced wild-type cytochromec2fromRhodobacter capsulatusand the lysine 93 to proline mutant of cytochromec2to photosynthetic reaction centers (Rhodobacter sphaeroides) has been measured to high precision using plasmon-waveguide resonance spectroscopy. For the studies reported, detergent-solubilized photosynthetic reaction center was exchanged into a phosphatidylcholine lipid bilayer to approximate the physiological environment. At physiologically relevant ionic strengths (∼100 mM), we found two binding sites for the reduced wild-type cytochrome (KD= 10 and 150 nM), with affinities that decrease with decreasing ionic strength (2−5-fold). These results implicate nonpolar interactions as an important factor in determining the dissociation constants. Taking advantage of the ability of plasmon-waveguide resonance spectroscopy to reslove the contribution of changes in mass and of structural anisotropy to cytochrome binding, we can demonstrate very different properties for the two binding sites. In contrast, the oxidized wild-type cytochrome only binds to a single site with aKDof 10 nM at high ionic strength, and this site has properties similar to the low-affinity site for binding the reduced cytochrome. The binding of oxidized cytochromec2has a strong ionic strength response, with the affinity decreasing ∼30-fold in going from high to low ionic strength. The K93P mutant binds to a single site in both redox states, which is similar, in terms of mass and structural anisotropy, to the oxidized wild-type site, with the affinity of the mutant oxidized state being ∼30-fold weaker than that of the oxidized wild-type cytochrome at high ionic strength. Thus, reduced wild-type cytochrome can bind to both the high- and low-affinity sites, while the oxidized wild-type cytochrome and both redox states of the mutant cytochrome can only bind to the low-affinity site, possibly the consequence of the more stable structure of reduced wild-type cytochrome. In aggregate, the results are consistent with a model in which a transient conformational change in the region 88−102 in the cytochrome three-dimensional structure, the so-called hinge region, drives the dissociation of the oxidized cytochrome from the reaction center−cytochrome complex, facilitating turnover.
