Coordination structures and reactivities of compound II in iron and manganese horseradish peroxidases. A resonance Raman study.
Resonance Raman investigations on compound II of native, diacetyldeuteroheme-, and manganese-substituted horseradish peroxidase (isozyme C) revealed that the metal-oxygen linkage in the compound differed from one another in its bond strength and/or structure. Fe(IV) = O stretching frequency for compound II of native enzyme was pH sensitive, giving the Raman line at 772 and 789 cm-1 at pH 7 and 10, respectively. The results confirmed the presence of a hydrogen bond between the oxo-ligand and a nearby amino acid residue (Sitter, A. J., Reczek, C. M., and Terner, J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7515-7522). The Fe(IV) = O stretch for compound II of diacetylheme-enzyme was located at 781 cm-1 at pH 7 which was 9 cm-1 higher than that of native enzyme compound II. At pH 10, however, the Fe(IV) = O stretch was found at 790 cm-1, essentially the same frequency as that of native enzyme compound II. The pK value for the pH transition, 8.5, was also the same as that of native compound II. Unlike in native enzyme, D2O-H2O exchange did not cause a shift of the Fe(IV) = O frequency of diacetylheme-enzyme. Thus, the metal-oxygen bond at pH 7 was stronger in diacetylheme-enzyme due to a weaker hydrogen bonding to the oxo-ligand, while the Fe(IV) = O bond strength became essentially the same between both enzymes at alkaline pH upon disruption of the hydrogen bond. A much lower reactivity of the diacetylheme-enzyme compound II was accounted to be due to the weaker hydrogen bond. Compound II of manganese-substituted enzyme exhibited Mn(IV)-oxygen stretch about 630 cm-1, which was pH insensitive but down-shifted by 18 cm-1 upon the D2O-H2O exchange. The finding indicates that its structure is in Mn(IV)-OH, where the proton is exchangeable with a water proton. These results establish that the structure of native enzyme compound II is Fe(IV) = O but not Fe(IV)-OH.
