Interaction of n-butyric acid with dialyzed nitrile hydratase from Brevibacterium R312, which is characterized by a charge-transfer band at 680 nm and EPR signals typical of a low-spin Fe(III) with Delta g = 0.22, leads to a form displaying different spectral properties (lambda = 710 nm, Delta g = 0.31). Butyric acid also acts as a competitive inhibitor of nitrile-hydratase-catalyzed hydration of acrylonitrile with a K-i value of 0.9 mM. Formation of the complex between the enzyme and butyric acid is highly dependent on the concentration of the latter and on pH. When stored with high levels of butyric acid, nitrile hydratase is completely inactive. The active uncomplexed enzyme is restored under the high dilution conditions used for the enzymatic assays, while the complexed form is favored at acidic pH and is not formed at pH above 8. Furthermore, the inhibitory potency of butyric acid decreases upon increasing pH (IC50 increases from 0.8 mM at pH 6.2 to 12 mM at pH 8.2). These data show that nitrile hydratase interacts with the acid form of butyric acid with a high affinty (K-i' approximate to 4 mu M at pH 7.2). At pH
