Abstract
Efficient expression of the dye-decolorizing peroxidase, DyP, from Geotrichum candidum Dec 1 in Aspergillus oryzae M-2-3 was achieved by fusing mature cDNA encoding dyp with the A. oryzae alpha-amylase promoter (amyB). The activity yield of the purified recombinant DyP (rDyP) was 42-fold compared with that of the purified native DyP from Dec 1. No exogenous heme was necessary for the expression of rDyP in A. oryzae. From the N-terminal amino acid sequence analyses of native DyP and rDyP, the absence of a histidine residue in both DyPs, which was considered to be important for heme binding of DyP, was confirmed. These results suggest that rDyP without a typical heme-binding region produced by A. oryzae exhibits a function similar to that of native DyP.

Abstract
The chemical modification of big conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels in rat tail artery smooth muscle cells by carbon monoxide (CO) was investigated using the cell-free single channel recording technique. Exposure of the internal surface of cell membranes to diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) neither affected the characteristics of KCa channels nor modified the stimulatory effect of CO on KCa channels. However, when DEPC was applied to the external surface of cell membranes, the open probability of KCa channels was reduced. The pH and concentration dependence of the effect of DEPC indicated the specific modification of histidine residues. Kinetic analysis suggested that one externally located histidine residue was modified by DEPC. Treatment of the external surface of cell membranes with DEPC abolished the CO-induced increase in the open probability of KCa channels. Likewise, the presence of CO partially protected KCa channels from inhibition by DEPC. Moreover, photooxidation of the histidine residue located on the external membrane surface abolished the CO-induced activation of KCa channels. Our study demonstrates that the CO-induced increase in the open probability of KCa channels may rely specifically on the structure and topological locations of histidine residues.

Abstract
The diheme cytochrome c peroxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans was modified with the histidine-specific reagent diethyl pyrocarbonate. At low excess of reagent, 1 mol of histidine was modified in the oxidized enzyme, and modification was associated with loss of the ability to form the active state. With time, the modification reversed, and the ability to form the active state was recovered. The agreement between the spectrophotometric measurement of histidine modification and radioactive incorporation using a radiolabeled reagent indicated little modification of other amino acids. However, the reversal of histidine modification observed spectrophotometrically was not matched by loss of radioactivity, and we propose a slow transfer of the ethoxyformyl group to an unidentified amino acid. The presence of CN- bound to the active peroxidatic site of the enzyme led to complete protection of the essential histidine from modification. Limited subtilisin treatment of the native enzyme followed by tryptic digest of the C-terminal fragment (residues 251-338) showed that radioactivity was located in a peptide containing a single histidine at position 275. We propose that this conserved residue, in a highly conserved region, is central to the function of the active mixed-valence state.

Abstract
Photodynamic action promoted by Rose Bengal was evaluated in solutions of unsaturated fatty acids or histidine, and on beef heart submitochondrial particles. Rose Bengal-promoted photooxidation of histidine was mainly due to the opening up of the imidazole ring by singlet oxygen. Photosensitization of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) resulted in oxygen consumption and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) formation, the extent of which was linearly related to the increasing degree of unsaturation. Photosensitization of submitochondrial particles caused oxygen consumption and TBARS production. These processes involved two different reaction components: during the first, most of the mitochondrial proteins were inactivated, the most sensitive being succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c. The values for the rate ratios of [TBARS] formation/[O2] consumption for the first and second phase were 0.36 and 1.32%, respectively, pointing to a larger contribution of lipid peroxidation during the second phase. The calculation of the rate constants for reaction of singlet oxygen with mitochondrial proteins suggests that singlet oxygen is more reactive towards proteins than to PUFA. The biological role of this selectivity is discussed in terms of the mitochondria as one of the first targets for photosensitized reactions.

Abstract
CO recombination to the cloned cytochrome c peroxidase [CCP(MI)] and mutants of CCP(MI) prepared by site-directed mutagenesis was examined as a function of pH by flash photolysis. The mutants examined included distal Arg 48----Leu, Lys; proximal Asp 235----Asn; and His 181----Gly. At alkaline pH, ferrous CCP(MI) was converted to a hexacoordinate form by a cooperative two-proton ionization, apparent pK(a) = 8.0. This change was observed in all of the mutants, although in the His 181----Gly mutant, the conversion to the hexacoordinate form was the result of a single-proton ionization, implicating His 181 as one of the two residues deprotonated in this isomerization. The pH-dependent conversion of CO ferrous CCP(MI) from acidic to alkaline forms was also observed and was similar to that reported for cytochrome c peroxidase from bakers' yeast [Iizuka, T., Makino, R., Ishimura, Y., & Yonetani, T. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1407-1412]. Photolysis of the acidic form of the CO complex of CCP(MI) produces a kinetic form of the ferrous enzyme (form A) which exhibits the slow rate of CO recombination (l1' approximately 10(3) M-1 s-1) characteristic of peroxidases, while photolysis of the alkaline form of the CO complex produces a second kinetic form (form B), which exhibits a much faster rate of recombination (l2' approximately 10(5) M-1 s-1). Kinetic forms analogous to forms A and B were observed in all of the mutants examined. A third kinetic form (form B*) with a bimolecular rate constant l3' approximately 10(6) M-1 s-1 was also observed in the mutants at alkaline pH. Although the pH dependence for the conversion of form A to form B with increasing pH was altered by changes in the local heme environment, the rate of CO recombination by the respective forms was not dramatically altered in the mutants. Transient spectra of the reaction of CO with ferrous CCP(MI) after photolysis show that equilibrium between penta- and hexacoordinate ferrous enzyme is rapid relative to CO recombination. The presence of the internal sixth ligand has no discernible effect on the observed rate of recombination, however. The results presented indicate that in CCP(MI) the rate of ligand binding is determined primarily by isomerization of the protein from a closed conformation at acidic pH to an open conformation at alkaline pH and that polar effects of proximal Asp 235 and distal Arg 48 are of minor significance in the rate of CO recombination in both conformations.

Abstract
The long-distance electron transfer observed in the complex formed between ferrocytochrome c and compound I, the peroxide-oxidized form of cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP), has been proposed to occur through the participation of His 181 of CCP and Phe 87 of yeast iso-1 cytochrome c [Poulos, T. L., & Kraut, J. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 10322-10330]. We have examined the role of His 181 of CCP in this process through characterization of a mutant CCP in which His 181 has been replaced by glycine through site-directed mutagenesis. Data from single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, as well as the visible spectra of the mutant CCP and its 2-equiv oxidation product, compound I, show that at pH 6.0 the protein is not dramatically altered by the His 181----Gly mutation. The rate of peroxide-dependent oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by the mutant CCP is reduced only 2-fold relative to that of the parental CCP, under steady-state conditions. Transient kinetic measurements of the intracomplex electron transfer rate from ferrous cytochrome c to compound I indicate that the rate of electron transfer within the transiently formed complex at high ionic strength (mu = 114 mM, pH = 6) is also reduced by approximately 2-fold in the mutant CCP protein. The relatively minor effect of the loss of the imidazole side chain at position 181 on the kinetics of electron transfer in the CCP-cytochrome c complex precludes an obligatory participation of His 181 in electron transfer from ferrous cytochrome c to compound I.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Cytochrome b5 is required for the cytochrome P-450 LM2 catalyzed oxidation of the anesthetic methoxyflurane. The ability of cytochrome b5 to support methoxyfluorane oxidation is affected by treatment with diethylpyrocarbonate, a reagent that at neutral pH is relatively specific for histidine residues. This inactivation of cytochrome b5 is reversed with hydroxylamine, which also suggests but does not prove histidine involvement. The studies reported in this paper were undertaken to determine whether histidine modification was involved in the decrease in effectiveness of cytochrome b5, or whether the inactivation could be attributed to modification of another amino acid. Our experiments demonstrate that diethylpyrocarbonate inactivates detergent-solubilized cytochrome b5 by modifying the axial histidines and displacing the heme. Because of the unexpected ease with which diethylpyrocarbonate displaced the heme from cytochrome b5, this same process was investigated in two other hemoproteins, cytochrome c and myoglobin. Diethylpyrocarbonate could not dissociate the heme from cytochrome c, whereas the heme was lost from myoglobin even more readily than from cytochrome b5.

Abstract
We have compared the 2.5-A crystal structure of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) with that of its semistable two-equivalent oxidized intermediate, compound I, by difference Fourier and least-squares refinement methods. Both structures were observed at -15 degrees C. The difference Fourier map reveals that formation of compound I causes only small positional adjustments of a few tenths of an angstrom. The map's most pronounced feature is a pair of positive and negative peaks bracketing the heme iron position. Least-squares refinement shows that the iron atom moves about 0.2 A toward the distal side of the heme. No significant difference density is evident near the side chains of Trp-51 or Met-172, each of which has been proposed to be the site of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) active radical in compound I. However, the second most prominent feature of difference density is a negative peak near the side chain of Thr-180, which, according to the results of least-squares refinement, moves by 0.15 A in the direction of Met-230. These observations, together with the results of mutagenesis experiments [Fishel, L. A., Villafranca, J. E., Mauro, J. M., & Kraut, J. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 351-360; Goodin, D. B., Mauk, A. G., & Smith, M. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 1295-1299] in which Trp-51 and Met-172 have been replaced without loss of the EPR radical signal in compound I, lead us to consider the possibility that the radical site lies within a cluster composed of the side chains of Met-230, Met-231, and Trp-191.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Oxidation of sulfite to sulfate by sulfite oxidase is inhibited when the enzyme is treated with reagents known to modify imidazole and carboxyl groups. Modification inhibits the oxidation of sulfite by the physiological electron acceptor cytochrome c, but not by the artificial acceptor ferricyanide. This indicates interference with reaction steps that follow the oxidation of sulfite by the enzyme's molybdenum cofactor. Reaction with diethylpyrocarbonate modifies ten histidines per enzyme monomer. Loss of activity is concomitant to the modification of only a single histidine residue. Inactivation takes place at the same rate in free sulfite oxidase and in the sulfite-oxidase--cytochrome-c complex. Blocking of carboxyl groups with water-soluble carbodiimides inactivates the enzyme. But none of the enzyme's carboxyl groups seems to be essential in the sense that its modification fully abolishes activity. The pattern of inactivation by chemical modification of sulfite oxidase is quite similar to that observed previously for cytochrome c peroxidase from yeast [Bosshard, H. R., Bänziger, J., Hasler, T. and Poulos, T. L. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 5683-5690; Bechtold, R. and Bosshard, H. R. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 5191-5200]. The two enzymes have very different structures yet share cytochrome c as a common substrate of which they recognize the same electron-transfer domain around the exposed heme edge.

Abstract
Purified and membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) from bovine heart mitochondria was inhibited by the histidine-modifying reagents ethoxyformic anhydride (EFA) and Rose Bengal in the presence of light. Succinate and competitive inhibitors protected against inhibition, and decreased the number of histidyl residues modified by EFA. The essential residue modified by EFA was not the essential thiol of SDH, but modification of the essential thiol abolished the protective effect of malonate against inhibition of SDH by EFA. The EFA inhibition was reversed by hydroxylamine nearly completely when the inhibition was less than or equal to 35%, and only partially when the inhibition was more extensive. The uv spectrum of EFA-modified SDH before and after hydroxylamine treatment suggested that extensive inhibition of SDH with EFA may result in ethoxyformylation at both imidazole nitrogens of histidyl residues. Such a modification is not reversed by hydroxylamine. Succinate dehydrogenases and fumarate reductases from several different sources have similar compositions, and the two enzymes from Escherichia coli have considerable homology in the amino acid composition of their respective flavoprotein and iron-sulfur protein subunits. In the former, there is a short stretch containing conserved histidine, cysteine, and arginine residues. These residues, if also conserved in the bovine enzyme, may be the essential active site residues suggested by this work (histidine) and previously (cysteine, arginine).
