In order to directly test the role of the proximal ligand, we have developed a recombinant Escherichia coli expression system for CCP. 4 This system has been used toconvert the proximal ligand, Hisl75, to Gin using site-directed mutagenesis. Both recombinant wild type and the Hisl75Gln mutant were purified and crystallized. 5 The visible absorption spectrum of the mutant resembles a high-spin spectrum with a Soret maximum to 280 nm ratio of 1.25, which is com-parable to the wild type enzyme ratioof 1.3, indicating that if the heme is hexacoordinate, it remains high-spin atpH 5.5. While the absorption spectrum at pH 5.5 is very similar to that of (4) Darwish, K.; Li, H.; Poulos, T. L. Protein Eng., in press.(5) Purification of recombinant CCP was according to Fishel et al.(Fishel, LA; Villafranca, J. E.; Mauro, J. M.; Kraut, J. Biochemistry 1987, 26, 351-360) with slight modifications. Crystals were prepared from 2-methyl-2, 4-pentanediol (MPD) according to Edwards and Poulos (Edwards, S. E.; Poulos, TLJ Biol. Chem. 1990, 265, 2588-2595) with the following modifications. Approximately 16 pL of 10 mg/mL CCP in 0.05 M potassium phosphate, pH 6.0, and 25% MPD was delivered into a 1-mm-wide X-ray capillary containing a small seed crystal. The seed crystal hadbeen washed previously with decreasing concentrations of MPD beginning with 32.5% and ending with 27.5% in approximately 2.5% increments. The capillary was sealed in a sandwich box and vapor diffused against 35% MPD in the cold room (4 C). Once the crystal had grown to sufficient size, the remainder of the surrounding solution was carefully removed, a mother liquor plug reintroduced above the crystal, and the capillary sealed with mineral oil. Mutant crystalsproved to be temperature sensitive, so all data sets were obtained between 2 and 5 C.
