Bacterial cytochromecperoxidase (CcP) enzymes are diheme redox proteins that reduce hydrogen peroxide to water. They are canonically characterized by a peroxidatic (calledL, for “low reduction potential”) active site heme and a secondary heme (H, for “high reduction potential”) associated with electron transfer, and an enzymatic activity that exists only when theH-heme is prereduced to the FeIIoxidation state. The prereduction step results in a conformational change at the active site itself, where a histidine-bearing loop will adopt an “open” conformation allowing hydrogen peroxide to bind to the FeIIIof theL-heme. Notably, the enzyme fromNitrosomonas europaeadoes not require prereduction. Previously, we have shown that protein film voltammetry (PFV) is a highly useful tool for distinguishing the electrocatalytic mechanisms of theNitromonastype of enzyme from other CcPs. Here, we apply PFV to the recently described enzyme fromGeobacter sulfurreducensand theGeobacterS134P/V135K double mutant, which have been shown to be similar to members of the canonical subclass of peroxidases and theNitrosomonassubclass of enzymes, respectively. Here we find that the wild-typeGeobacterCcP is indeed similar electrochemically to the bacterial CcPs that require reductive activation, yet the S134P/V135K mutant shows two phases of electrocatalysis: one that is low in potential, like that of the wild-type enzyme, and a second, higher-potential phase that has a potential dependent upon substrate binding and pH yet is at a potential that is very similar to that of theH-heme. These findings are interpreted in terms of a model in which rate-limiting intraprotein electron transfer governs the catalytic performance of the S134P/V135K enzyme.
