The modulation of the electron-transfer properties of human medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (hwtMCADH) has been studied using wild-type and site-directed mutants by determining their midpoint potentials at various pH values and estimating the involved pKs. The mutants used were E376D, in which the negative charge is retained; E376Q, in which one negative charge (pKa≈ 6.0) is removed from the active center; E99G, in which a different negative charge (pKa≈ 7.3) also is affected; and E376H (pKa≈ 9.3) in which a positive charge is present.Emfor hwtMCADH at pH 7.6 is −0.114 V. Results for the site-directed mutants indicate that loss of a negative charge in the active site causes a +0.033 V potential shift. This is consistent with the assumption that electrostatic interactions (as in the case of flavodoxins) and specific charges are important in the modulation of the electron-transfer properties of this class of dehydrogenases. Specifically, these charge interactions appear to correlate with the positiveEmshift observed upon binding of substrate/product couple to MCADH [Lenn, N. D., Stankovich, M. T., and Liu, H. (1990)Biochemistry29, 3709−3715], which coincides with a pKincrease of Glu376-COOH from ∼6 to 8−9 [Rudik, I., Ghisla, S., and Thorpe, C. (1998)Biochemistry37, 8437−8445]. From the pH dependence of the midpoint potentials of hwtMCADH two mechanistically important ionizations are estimated. The pKavalue of ∼6.0 is assigned to the catalytic base, Glu376-COOH, in the oxidized enzyme based on comparison with the pH behavior of the E376H mutant, it thus coincides with the pKvalue recently estimated [Vock, P., Engst, S., Eder, M., and Ghisla, S. (1998)Biochemistry 37, 1848−1860]. The pKaof ∼7.1 is assigned to Glu376-COOH in reduced hwtMCADH. Comparable values for these pKas for Glu376-COOH in pig kidney MCADH are pKox= 6.5 and pKred= 7.9. TheEmmeasured for K304E-MCADH (a major mutant resulting in a deficiency syndrome) is essentially identical to that of hwtMCADH, indicating that the disordered enzyme has an intact active site.
