The metal-reducing δ-proteobacteriumGeobacter sulfurreducensproduces a large number ofc-type cytochromes, many of which have been implicated in the transfer of electrons to insoluble metal oxides. Among these, the dihemic MacA was assigned a central role. Here we have producedG. sulfurreducensMacA by recombinant expression inEscherichia coliand have solved its three-dimensional structure in three different oxidation states. Sequence comparisons group MacA into the family of diheme cytochromecperoxidases, and the protein indeed showed hydrogen peroxide reductase activity with ABTS–2as an electron donor. The observedKMwas 38.5 ± 3.7 μM H2O2andvmaxwas 0.78 ± 0.03 μmol of H2O2·min–1·mg–1, resulting in a turnover numberkcat= 0.46 · s–1. In contrast, no Fe(III) reductase activity was observed. MacA was found to display electrochemical properties similar to other bacterial diheme peroxidases, in addition to the ability to electrochemically mediate electron transfer to the soluble cytochrome PpcA. Differences in activity between CcpA and MacA can be rationalized with structural variations in one of the three loop regions, loop 2, that undergoes conformational changes during reductive activation of the enzyme. This loop is adjacent to the active site heme and forms an open loop structure rather than a more rigid helix as in CcpA. For the activation of the protein, the loop has to displace the distal ligand to the active site heme, H93, in loop 1. A H93G variant showed an unexpected formation of a helix in loop 2 and disorder in loop 1, while a M297H variant that altered the properties of the electron transfer heme abolished reductive activation.
