Revised Manuscript Received June 1, 1993 abstract: The heme protein subunit of sulfite reductase (SiR-HP; MT 64 000) from Escherichia coli as isolated contains the isobacteriochlorin siroheme exchange-coupled to a [4Fe-4S] cluster in the 2+ oxidation state. SiR-HP in the presence of a suitable electron donor can catalyze the six-electron reductions of sulfite to sulfide and nitrite to ammonia. Paramagnetic NMR was used to study the low-spin complexes of SiR-HP formed by binding the exogenous inhibitor cyanide or the substrates sulfite and nitrite. As a model, the cyanide complex of purified siroheme was also prepared. The NMR spectrum of isolated ferric low-spin siroheme-CN is consistent with spin density being transferred into the a2 „molecular orbital, an interaction which is symmetry-forbidden in porphyrins. The pattern of proton NMR shifts observed for isolated ferric low-spin siroheme-CN is very similar tothose obtained for the protein-cyanide complex. NMR spectra of the cyanide complex of SiR-HP were obtained in all three accessible redox states. The pattern of hyperfine shifts observed for the one-electronand two-electron reduced cyanide complexes is typical of those seen for [4Fe-4S] clusters in the 2+ and 1+ oxidation states, respectively. Resonances arising from the (3-CH2 protons of cluster cysteines have been assigned for all complexes studied utilizing deuterium substitution. The cyanide-, sulfite-, and nitrite-ligated states possessed an almost identically shifted upfield cluster cysteine resonance whose presence indicates that covalent coupling exists between siroheme and cluster in solution. Data are also presented for the existence of a secondary anion binding site, the occupancy of which perturbs the oxidized SiR-HP NMR spectrum, where binding occurs at a rate much faster than thatof ligand binding to heme.The active site of Escherichia coli sulfite reductaseheme protein subunit (SiR-HP) 1 consists of a [4Fe-4S] cluster exchange-coupled to a siroheme prosthetic group (Christner et al., 1981; Janick & Siegel, 1982). A model of the active site has been proposed (Janick & Siegel, 1982) in which one cluster Fe is covalently bridged to the sirohemeFe by the sulfur of a cysteinal cluster ligand. X-ray crystallographic data (McRee et al., 1986) are consistent with thismodel, although it lacks sufficient resolution to identify the bridging ligand. Recently, we have examined theproton NMR of unligated SiR-HP andhave presented data consistent with cysteine acting as the bridging ligand (Kaufman et al, 1993b). On the distal side of the siroheme, opposite the [4Fe-4S] cluster, the X-ray crystalstructure of oxidized SiR-HP does not show significant electron density (McRee et al., 1986). This may therefore be the site of binding for a number of exogenous ligands, including the substrates sulfite and nitrite and inhibitory agents such as cyanide and CO. In all complexes studied to date, ligand binding appears to involve the heme
