Eukaryotic cytochromecoxidase (CcO) and homologous prokaryotic forms ofRhodobacterandParaccocusdiffer in the EPR spectrum of hemea. It was noted that a histidine ligand of hemea(H102) is hydrogen bonded to serine inRhodobacter(S44) andParaccocusCcOs, in contrast to glycine in the bovine enzyme. Mutation of S44 to glycine shifts the hemeaEPR signal from gz= 2.82 to 2.86, closer to bovine hemeaat 3.03, without modifying other properties. Mutation to aspartate, however, results in an oppositely shifted and split hemeaEPR signal of gz= 2.72/2.78, accompanied by lower activity and drastically inhibited intrinsic electron transfer from CuAto hemea. This intrinsic rate is biphasic; the proportion that is slow is pH dependent, as is the relative intensity of the two EPR signal components. At pH 8, the hemeaEPR signal at 2.72 is most intense, and the electron transfer rate (CuAto hemea) is 10−130 s−1, compared to wild-type at 90000 s−1. At pH 5.5, the signal at 2.78 is intensified, and a biphasic rate is observed, 50% fast (∼wild type) and 50% slow (90 s−1). The data support the prediction that the hydrogen-bonding partner of the histidine ligand of hemeais one determinant of the EPR spectral difference between bovine and bacterial CcO. We further demonstrate that the hemearedox potential can be dramatically altered by a nearby carboxyl, whose protonation leads to a proton-coupled electron transfer process.
