C. T. Przysiecki, G. Cheddar, T. E. Meyer, G. Tollin, and. A. Cusanovich* Department of Biochemistry, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 Received February 25, 1985 abstract: We have measured the ionic strength dependence of the rate constants for the electron-transfer reactions of flavinmononucleotide (FMN) and flavodoxin semiquinones with 10 high redox potential ferredoxins (HiPIP’s). The rate constants were extrapolated to infinite ionic strength by using a theoretical model of electrostatic interactions developed in our laboratory. In all cases, the sign of the electrostatic interaction was the same as the protein net charge, but the magnitudes were much smaller. The results are consistent with a model in which the electrical charges are approximately uniformly distributed over the HiPIP surface and in which there are both short-and long-range electrostatic interactions. An electrostatic field calculation for Chromatium vinosum HiPIP is consistent with this. The presumed site of electron transfer includes that region of the protein surfaceto which the iron-sulfur cluster is nearest and appears to be relatively hydrophobic. The principal short-range electrostatic interaction would involve the negative charge on the iron-sulfur cluster. For some net negatively charged proteins, this effect is magnified, and for net positively charged HiPIP’s, it is counterbalanced. The rate constants extrapolated to infinite ionic strength can be correlated with redox potential differences between the reactants, as has previously been shown for cytochrome-flavin semiquinone reactions. Both electrostatic and redox potential effects are magnified for the flavodoxin semiquinone as compared to the FMN semiquinone-HiPIP reactions. This was also observedpreviously for the flavin semiquinone-cytochrome reactions. The present work provides further support for the universal nature of those factors (redox potential differences and steric and electrostatic interactions) which we have found to govern the rates of redox protein electron-transfer reactions and which therefore determine biological specificity.
