Abstract
We describe photoinitiated electron transfer (ET) from a suite of Zn-substituted myoglobin (Mb) variants to cytochrome b(5) (b(5)). An electrostatic interface redesign strategy has led to the introduction of positive charges into the vicinity of the heme edge through D/E → K charge-reversal mutation combinations at "hot spot" residues (D44, D60, and E85), augmented by the elimination of negative charges from Mb or b(5) by neutralization of heme propionates. These variations create an unprecedentedly large range in the product of the ET partners' total charges (-5 < -q(Mb)q(b(5)) < 40). The binding affinity (K(a)) increases 1000-fold as -q(Mb)q(b(5)) increases through this range and exhibits a surprisingly simple, exponential dependence on -q(Mb)q(b(5)). This is explained in terms of electrostatic interactions between a "charged reactive patch" (crp) on each partner's surface, defined as a compact region around the heme edge that (i) contains the total protein charge of each variant and (ii) encompasses a major fraction of the "reactive region" (Rr) comprising surface atoms with large matrix elements for electron tunneling to the heme. As -q(Mb)q(b(5)) increases, the complex undergoes a transition from fast to slow-exchange dynamics on the triplet ET time scale, with a correlated progression in the rate constants for intracomplex (k(et)) and bimolecular (k(2)) ET. This progression is analyzed by integrating the crp and Rr descriptions of ET into the textbook steady-state treatment of reversible binding between partners that undergo intracomplex ET and found to encompass the full range of behaviors predicted by the model. The generality of this approach is demonstrated by its application to the extensive body of data for the ET complex between the photosynthetic reaction center and cytochrome c(2). Deviations from this model also are discussed.

Abstract
Background Many important cellular processes are carried out by protein complexes. To provide physical pictures of interacting proteins, many computational protein-protein prediction methods have been developed in the past. However, it is still difficult to identify the correct docking complex structure within top ranks among alternative conformations. Results We present a novel protein docking algorithm that utilizes imperfect protein-protein binding interface prediction for guiding protein docking. Since the accuracy of protein binding site prediction varies depending on cases, the challenge is to develop a method which does not deteriorate but improves docking results by using a binding site prediction which may not be 100% accurate. The algorithm, named PI-LZerD (using Predicted Interface with Local 3D Zernike descriptor-based Docking algorithm), is based on a pair wise protein docking prediction algorithm, LZerD, which we have developed earlier. PI-LZerD starts from performing docking prediction using the provided protein-protein binding interface prediction as constraints, which is followed by the second round of docking with updated docking interface information to further improve docking conformation. Benchmark results on bound and unbound cases show that PI-LZerD consistently improves the docking prediction accuracy as compared with docking without using binding site prediction or using the binding site prediction as post-filtering. Conclusion We have developed PI-LZerD, a pairwise docking algorithm, which uses imperfect protein-protein binding interface prediction to improve docking accuracy. PI-LZerD consistently showed better prediction accuracy over alternative methods in the series of benchmark experiments including docking using actual docking interface site predictions as well as unbound docking cases.

Abstract
The effect of charge-inverting modification of single surface lysine residue on the electron transfer (ET) reaction of horse heart cytochrome c (cyt c) is examined for 12 different types of mono-4-chloro-2,5-dinitrobenzoic acid substituted cyt c (mCDNPc) adsorbed on a Au(111) electrode modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 7-mercapto-heptanoic acid (MHA). A negative shift in the redox potential by 10-35 mV as compared to that of native cyt c and a monolayer coverage in the range of 13-17 pmol cm(-2) are observed for electroactive mCDNPc's. The magnitude of the decrease in the ET rate constant (k(et)) of mCDNPc's compared with that of native cyt c depends on the position of the CDNP substitution. For mCDNPc's in which the modified lysine residue is outside of the interaction domain of cyt c with the SAM, the ratio of the k(et) of mCDNPc to that of native cyt c is correlated to the change in the dipole moment vector of cyt c due to the CDNP modification. This correlation suggests that the dipole moment of cyt c determines its orientation of adsorption on the SAM of MHA and significantly affects the rate of the ET. The CDNP modification of lysine residues at the interaction domain significantly decreases the rate, demonstrating the importance of the local charge environment in determining the rate of ET.

Abstract
Compelling evidence exists that the colorless algae of the genus Polytomella arose from a green Chlamydomonas-like ancestor by losing its functional photosynthetic apparatus. Due to the close relationship between the colorless and the green chlorophyte, Polytomella sp. appeared as a useful indicative framework for structural studies of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mitochondria. However, comparative studies reported here unexpectedly revealed significant differences between the mitochondrial respiratory systems of the two algae. Two-dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE of isolated mitochondria indicated that cytochrome-containing respiratory complexes III and IV in the two chlorophytes contrast in size, subunit composition and relative abundance. Complex IV in Polytomella is smaller than its counterpart in C. reinhardtii and occurs in two forms that differ presumably in the presence of subunit COXIII. The cytochrome c and the iron-sulfur Rieske protein of both chlorophytes revealed structural differences on the amino acid sequence level. Under comparable culture conditions, the colorless alga exhibits lower levels of cytochrome c and complex IV but a higher respiratory activity than the green alga. Cytochrome c levels were also found to be differently regulated by the growth conditions in both algae. The divergence between the respiratory systems in the two related chlorophytes can be viewed as a consequence of the loss of photosynthetic activity and/or of the adaptation to the environment via the acquisition of a more flexible, heterotrophic metabolism. Our understanding of mitochondrial function and evolution is expected to be greatly enhanced via further parallel studies of photosynthetic/non-photosynthetic algae, for which this study forms an incentive.

Abstract
Direct heterogeneous electron transfer (ET) of sulfite oxidase (SOx), a heme- and molybdopterin cofactor-containing intermembrane enzyme, was studied on alkanethiol-modified Au electrodes both with SOx entrapped between the modified Au electrode and a permselective membrane and with SOx adsorbed at the electrode surface, in the absence of any membrane. SOx in direct electronic communication with the electrode surface gave a quasi-reversible electrochemical signal with a midpoint potential of--120 mV vs Ag/AgCl corresponding to the redox transformations of the heme domain of SOx and with a heterogeneous ET constant in the order of 15 s(-1). The efficiency of the bioelectrocatalytic 2e- oxidation of sulfite catalyzed by SOx in direct ET exchange with the electrode was shown to depend essentially on the nature of the alkanethiol layer. Adsorption and orientation of SOx on an 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MuD-OH) self-assembled monolayer, i.e., terminally functionalized with OH groups, provided efficient catalytic oxidation of sulfite, contrary to nonfunctionalized alkanethiols, e.g., 1-decanethiol, or alkanethiol layers terminally functionalized with NH2 groups. Comparative studies with short-chain alkanethiols, e.g., cysteamine and 2-mercaptoethanol, revealed an evidently different mode of adsorption of SOx on these layers, onto which SOx was not catalytically active. Coadsorption of MuD-OH and 11-mercapto-1-undecanamine improved the surface properties of the SAM, resulting in a higher surface coverage with bioelectrocatalytically active SOx but not in an increased apparent catalytic rate constant, kcat, ranging in the order of 18-24 s(-1) at pH 7.4. The achieved efficiency of SOx bioelectrocatalysis in direct ET reaction between the modified electrode and the enzyme approached the rates characteristic for the catalysis mediated by cytochrome c, the natural redox partner of SOx, thus implying the retention of the biological function of SOx under the heterogeneous electrode reaction conditions. Results obtained enable the development of a third-generation biosensor for sulfite monitoring.

Abstract
Tyrosine 343 in human sulfite oxidase (SO) is conserved in all SOs sequenced to date. Intramolecular electron transfer (IET) rates between reduced heme (Fe(II)) and oxidized molybdenum (Mo(VI)) in the recombinant wild-type and Y343F human SO were measured for the first time by flash photolysis. The IET rate in wild-type human SO at pH 7.4 is about 37% of that in chicken SO with a similar decrease in k(cat). Steady-state kinetic analysis of the Y343F mutant showed an increase in K(m)(sulfite) and a decrease in k(cat) resulting in a 23-fold attenuation in the specificity constant k(cat)/K(m)(sulfite) at the optimum pH value of 8.25. This indicates that Tyr-343 is involved in the binding of the substrate and catalysis within the molybdenum active site. Furthermore, the IET rate constant in the mutant at pH 6.0 is only about one-tenth that of the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that the OH group of Tyr-343 is vital for efficient IET in SO. The pH dependences of IET rate constants in the wild-type and mutant SO are consistent with the previously proposed coupled electron-proton transfer mechanism.

Abstract
A comprehensive kinetic study of sulfite oxidase has been undertaken over the pH range 6.0-10.0, including conventional steady-state work as well as rapid kinetic studies of both the reaction of oxidized enzyme with sulfite and reduced enzyme with cytochrome c (III). A comparison of the pH dependence of kcat, kred, and kox indicates that kred is principally rate limiting above pH 7, but that below this pH the pH dependence of kcat is influenced by that of kox. The pH independence of kred is consistent with our previous proposal concerning the reaction mechanism, in which attack of the substrate lone pair of electrons on a Mo(VI)O2 unit initiates the catalytic sequence. The pH dependence of kred/Kdsulfite indicates that a group on the enzyme having a pKa of approximately 9.3 must be deprotonated for effective reaction of oxidized enzyme with sulfite, possibly Tyr 322, which from the crystal structure of the enzyme constitutes part of the substrate binding site. There is no evidence for the HSO3-/SO32- pKa of approximately 7 in the pH profile for kred/Kdsulfite, suggesting that enzyme is able to oxidize the two equally well. By contrast, kcat/Kmsulfite and kred/Kdsulfite exhibit distinct pH dependence (the former is bell-shaped, the latter sigmoidal), again consistent with the oxidative half-reaction contributing to the kinetic barrier to catalysis at low pH. The pH dependence of kcat/Km(cyt c) (reflecting the second-order rate of reaction of free enzyme with free cytochrome) is bell-shaped and closely resembles that of kox/Kd(cyt c), reflecting the importance of the oxidative half-reaction in the low substrate concentration regime. The pH profile for kox/Kd(cyt c) indicates that two groups with a pKa of approximately 8 are involved in the reaction of free reduced enzyme with cytochrome c, one of which must be deprotonated and the other protonated. These results are consistent with the known electrostatic nature of the interaction of cytochrome c with its physiological partners.

Abstract
beta-Thiopropionyl derivatives of horse cytochrome c singly modified at each of 18 different lysine epsilon-amino groups have been prepared using sulfosuccinimidyl-2-(biotinamido)ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate and purified to homogeneity by high-pressure liquid chromatography. These derivatives were characterized by determination of: (i) the location of the modification; (ii) reduction potentials; (iii) visible and NMR spectra: and by (iv) measurement of electron transfer activity with cytochrome-c oxidase. No significant changes in structure were indicated, except for the ferric forms of the derivatives modified at lysines 72, 73, and 79 which are discussed separately. The electron transfer activity of the beta-thiopropionyl cytochromes c with bovine heart cytochrome-c oxidase was decreased to extents dependent on the position of the modification. Aminoethylation, a secondary modification which reverses the charge change, restored the electron transfer rate to that observed with the unmodified cytochrome c, irrespective of the location of the primary modification. These results afford a direct experimental demonstration that alterations in kinetics with physiological electron transfer partners resulting from modifications which cause a change of the charge of surface side chains are solely due to the electrostatic effects. Of the many chemically modified cytochromes c prepared to date, the singly substituted beta-thiopropionyl cytochromes c are likely to be particularly useful as the thiol allows covalent linkage of any sulfhydryl-reactive reagent to a well-defined location on the protein surface by a simple procedure, even when the secondary modifier is relatively unstable, a crucial advantage not otherwise readily achieved.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to produce variants of cytochrome c in which selected structural or functional properties of this protein are altered that have been implicated previously in contributing to the rate at which ferricytochrome c is reduced by ferrocytochrome b5. In total, 18 variants have been studied by kinetics and electrochemical methods to assess the contributions of thermodynamic driving force, surface charge and hydrophobic interactions, and redox-linked structural reorganization of the protein to the rate of electron transfer between these two proteins under conditions where the reaction is bimolecular. While some variants (those at position-38) appear to affect primarily the driving force of the reaction, others appear to influence the rearrangement barrier to electron transfer (those at positions-67 and -52) while the interface between electron donor and acceptor centers is the principal effect of substitutions for a conserved aromatic heme contact residue at the surface of the protein (position-82). Interpretation of these results has been facilitated through the use of energy minimization calculations to refine the hypothetical models previously suggested for the cytochrome c- cytochrome b5 precursor complex on the basis of Brownian dynamics simulations of the bimolecular encounter event.

Abstract
The family of b5-like cytochromes encompasses, besides cytochrome b5 itself, hemoprotein domains covalently associated with other redox proteins, in flavocytochrome b2 (L-lactate dehydrogenase), sulfite oxidase and assimilatory nitrate reductase. A comparison of about 40 amino acid sequences deposited in data banks shows that eight residues are invariant and about 15 positions carry strongly conservative substitutions. Examination of the location of these invariant and conserved positions in the light of the three-dimensional structures of beef cytochrome b5 and S cerevisiae flavocytochrome b2 suggests a strongly conserved protein structure for the b5-like heme-binding domain throughout evolution. Numerous NMR studies have demonstrated the existence of a positional isomerism for the heme, which involves both a 180 degree-rotation around the heme alpha,gamma-meso carbon atoms and a rotation through an axis normal to the heme plane at the iron. NMR studies did not detect significant differences in protein structure between reduced and oxidized states, or between species. The role of a number of side chains was probed by site-directed mutagenesis. Studies of complex formation and of electron transfer rates between cytochrome b5 and redox partners have led to the idea that complexation is driven by electrostatic forces, that it is generally the exposed heme edge which makes contact with electron donors and acceptors, but that there are multiple overlapping sites within this general area. For the bi- and trifunctional members of the family, extrapolation of available data would suggest a mobile heme-binding domain within a complex structure. In these cases the existence of a single interaction area for both electron donor and acceptor, or of two different ones, remains open to discussion.

Abstract
Intramolecular electron transfer (ET) rates in sulfite oxidase (SO) were measured using flavin semiquinone reductants [5-deazariboflavin (dRFH.) and lumiflavin (LFH.)] generated by laser flash photolysis. Rapid bimolecular reduction of the heme by the dRF semiquinone occurred (k = 4 x 10(8) M-1 s-1 at pH 6; 1 x 10(8) M-1 s-1 at pH 9), followed by heme Fe(II) reoxidation due to intramolecular electron transfer to Mo(VI). Flash-induced difference spectra indicated that only spectral processes due to reduction and oxidation of the b-type heme prosthetic group were observed, with no detectable spectral contribution from the Mo cofactor. The extent of reoxidation decreased greatly from pH 6 to 9 (50% to 3%), as expected from the shifts in the redox potentials of the heme and Mo cofactor with pH, consistent with an electron transfer equilibrium between the two redox centers. The observed rate constant for the Fe(II) to Mo(VI) electron transfer decreased from 1650 s-1 at pH 6 to 60 s-1 at pH 9 and showed a maximum of 2400 s-1 at pH 7. Increases in salt concentration greatly decreased intramolecular ET rate constants (direct reduction by flavin semiquinone was unchanged), due to the binding of anions. Titration with the sodium salts of Cl-, SO4(2-), and H2PO4-/HPO4(2-) resulted in decreases in rate constants of intramolecular ET from 1500 s-1 to < 100 s-1 at pH 6 and 7. Similar dissociation constants were measured for the binding of these anions by flash photolysis and by steady-state enzyme kinetics using the inhibition of the sulfite/cytochrome c assay reaction for sulfite oxidase. A mechanism is proposed in which anion binding to the enzyme inhibits the rate of intramolecular electron transfer.

Abstract
The secondary structure of Pseudomonas cytochrome c peroxidase (ferrocytochrome c: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.5) has been predicted from the established amino acid sequence of the enzyme using a Chou-Fasman-type algorithm. The amount of alpha-helicity thus obtained is in agreement with previously obtained results based on circular dichroic measurements at far UV. The two heme c moieties of the enzyme have earlier been shown to have widely different characteristics, e.g., the redox potentials of the hemes differ with about 600 mV, and carry out different functions in the enzyme molecule. The structural comparisons made in this study enlighten the observed functional differences. The first heme in the polypeptide chain, heme 1, has in its environment a folding pattern generally encountered in cytochromes. In the region of the sixth ligand, however, profound differences are noted. The cytochromal methionine has been replaced by a lysine with a concomitant lowering of redox-potential thus making peroxidatic activity possible. Around heme 2, extra amino acid residues have been added to the peroxidase as compared with Rhodospirillum molischianum cytochrome c2 core structure in the 20's loop. After completion of the cytochromal fold around heme 2 an additional tail consisting of 25 residues is linked. This tail shows no stabilizing elements of secondary structure, but contains a strongly hydrophobic segment which suggests a possible membrane contact site of this extrinsic membrane protein. Heme 2 is concluded to have a cytochromal function in the molecule. To further elucidate the functional properties of the enzyme, a noncovalent two-fragment complex was produced by specific cleavage of the peroxidase by Pseudomonas elastase. The complex was studied with respect to its properties to the native enzyme. The two-fragment complex of Pseudomonas peroxidase retains the overall conformation of the native enzyme showing, however, no heme-heme interaction. Thus, a comparison of the properties of the native enzyme with those of the two-fragment complex permitted some conclusions to be drawn on the structure of the enzyme as well as the mechanism of heme-heme interaction. From the present results we conclude that the two distal heme surfaces in the peroxidase are oriented toward each other. This structural arrangement allows an inter-heme communication in the enzyme molecule and it also forms the structural basis for the enzyme mechanism. The structural comparisons also give insight into the evolution of an ancestral cytochrome c into an efficient peroxidase that has a versatile control mechanism in heme-heme interaction.

Abstract
An analysis of the effect of electrostatic properties of 4-carboxy-2,6-dinitrophenyllysine (CDNP-lysine) cytochromes c on their reactions with strongly and weakly binding redox partners is given. For strongly binding systems (cytochrome-c oxidase, cytochrome-c reductase, sulphite oxidase and yeast cytochrome-c peroxidase) the magnitude of the dipole moments of the CDNP cytochromes c determines their relative reactivities. For weakly binding redox agents, such as hexacyanoferrate(III), cobalt(III)tris(1,10-phenanthroline), azurin and plastocyanin, the electrostatic potential at the haem edge accounts for the greater part of the relative activities. Relative rate data were obtained from the literature. It is concluded that the dipole moment of native cytochromes c may account for an approx. 50-fold increase in the efficiency of its physiological activity towards membrane-bound enzymes. A correction on a formula to describe the contribution of a molecular dipole moment to the ionic strength dependence of a bimolecular rate constant (Koppenol, W. H. (1980) Biophys. J. 29, 493-508) leads to an equation nearly identical to that obtained by Van Leeuwen et al. (Van Leeuwen, J.W., Mofers, F.J.M. and Verrman, E.C.I. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 635, 434-439).

Abstract
The mitochondrial enzyme sulfite oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of cytochrome c by sulfite. The reaction is inhibited when the enzyme is treated with N-cyclohexyl-N'-[2-(N-methylmorpholino)-ethyl]carbodiimide p-toluenesulfonate (CMC). Inhibition follows the conversion of two carboxyl groups to N-acylurea derivatives. The two groups are about equally reactive toward this inhibitor and blocking of either group abolishes electron transfer to cytochrome c. The rate of inactivation is almost the same in the presence of cytochrome c and under conditions where, on average, 89% of the enzyme is bound to cytochrome c. Therefore, the functional groups are not likely to be at the cytochrome c binding site. There are two equal and non-interacting cytochrome c binding sites per sulfite oxidase monomer. The Kd is 7.5 microM at pH 6.0 and low ionic strength. The data are difficult to reconcile with binding of cytochrome c to a cluster of acidic residues in the area of the heme b prosthetic group, as was envisaged for the cytochrome-b5--cytochrome c complex [Salemme, F.R. (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 102, 563-568]. An improved method for the purification of sulfite oxidase from chicken liver, using affinity chromatography on cytochrome c--Sepharose, is described.

Abstract
The effect of complex formation between ferricytochrome c and cytochrome c peroxidase (Ferrocytochrome-c:hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.5) on the reduction of cytochrome c by N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), reduced N-methylphenazonium methosulfate (PMSH), and ascorbate has been determined at low ionic strength (pH 7) and 25 degrees C. Complex formation with the peroxidase enhances the rate of ferricytochrome c reduction by the neutral reductants TMPD and PMSH. Under all experimental conditions investigated, complex formation with cytochrome c peroxidase inhibits the ascorbate reduction of ferricytochrome c. This inhibition is due to the unfavorable electrostatic interactions between the ascorbate dianion and the negatively charged cytochrome c-cytochrome c peroxidase complex. Corrections for the electrostatic term by extrapolating the data to infinite ionic strength suggest that ascorbate can reduce cytochrome c peroxidase-bound cytochrome c faster than free cytochrome c. Reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase Compound II by dicyanobis(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) (Fe(phen)2(CN)2) is essentially unaffected by complex formation between the enzyme and ferricytochrome c at low ionic strength (pH 6) and 25 degrees C. However, reduction of Compound II by the negatively changed tetracyano-(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) (Fe(phen)(CN)4) is enhanced in the presence of ferricytochrome c. This enhancement is due to the more favorable electrostatic interactions between the reductant and cytochrome c-cytochrome c peroxidase Compound II complex then for Compound II itself. These studies indicate that complex formation between cytochrome c and cytochrome c peroxidase does not sterically block the electron-transfer pathways from these small nonphysiological reductants to the hemes in these two proteins.

Abstract
Cytochrome-c peroxidase (ferrocytochrome-c:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.5) forms a noncovalent 1:1 complex with horse cytochrome c in low ionic strength solution that is detectable by proton NMR spectroscopy. When the entire proton hyperfine-shifted spectrum is considered only five hyperfine resonances exhibit unambiguously detectable shifts: the heme 8-CH3 and 3-CH3 resonances, single proton resonances near 19 ppm and -4 ppm and the methionine-80 methyl group. These shifts are very similar to those observed for the covalently crosslinked complex of cytochrome-c peroxidase and horse cytochrome c, but different from those reported for cytochrome c complexes with flavodoxin and cytochrome b5. By comparison with the shifts reported for lysine-13-modified cytochrome c we conclude that the results reported here support the Poulos-Kraut proposed structure for the molecular redox complex between cytochrome-c peroxidase and cytochrome c. These results indicate that the principal site of interaction with cytochrome-c peroxidase is the exposed heme edge of horse cytochrome c, in proximity to lysine-13 and the heme pyrrole II. The noncovalent cytochrome-c peroxidase-cytochrome c complex exists in the rapid-exchange time limit even at 500 mHz proton frequency. Our data provide an improved estimate of the minimum off-rate for exchanging cytochrome c as 1133 (+/- 120) s-1 at 23 degrees C.

Abstract
Rate constants for the reactions of horse cytochrome c (E'0 of +260 mV) with the copper proteins Anabaena variabilis plastocyanin (E'0 of +360 mV) used as oxidant and stellacyanin (E'0 of +187 mV) used as reductant have been determined at 25 degrees C, pH 7.5 and 7.0, respectively, and an ionic strength of 0.10 M (NaCl). These rate constants were also measured with eight different singly substituted 4-carboxy-2,6-dinitrophenyl (CDNP) horse cytochrome c derivatives, modified at lysine-7, -13, -25, -27, -60, -72, -86, or -87 and with the trinitrophenyl (TNP) derivative modified at lysine-13. The influence of the modifications on the bimolecular rate constants for these reactions defines the region on the protein that is involved in the electron-exchange reactions and demonstrates that the preferred site is at or near the solvent-accessible edge of the heme prosthetic group on the "front" surface of the molecule. Both reactions are strongly influenced by the lysine-72 modification to the left of the exposed heme edge and, to this extent, behave similar to the earlier studied reaction with azurin. These effects span only an order of magnitude in rate constants and are thus many times smaller than those for the physiological protein redox partners of cytochrome c. While the preferred sites of reaction on the surface of cytochrome c for small inorganic complexes appear to be dependent only on the net charge of the reactants, with the copper proteins additional factors intervene. These influences are discussed in terms of hydrophobic patches and the distribution of charges on the surface of the four copper proteins so far examined.

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
A criticism of a recent paper by M. Fragata and F. Bellemare (Biophys. Chem. 15 (1982) 111) is presented. These authors developed a model of polarity-dependent ferrocytochrome c oxidation which is shown to be incorrect. It fails to show that the use of the 'overal dipole moment' is likely to be unreliable, and that reactivity is best explained by a polarity effect on the dipole of the haem of cytochrome c.

Abstract
A water-soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, has been used to cross-link horse heart cytochrome c to spinach chloroplast plastocyanin. The complex was formed in yields up to 90% and was found to have a stoichiometry of 1 mol plastocyanin per mol cytochrome c. The cytochrome c in the complex was fully reducible by ascorbate and potassium ferrocyanide, and had a redox potential only 25 mV less than that of native cytochrome c. The complex was nearly completely inactive towards succinate-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome c oxidase, suggesting that the heme crevice region of cytochrome c was blocked. We propose that the carbodiimide promoted the formation of amide cross-links between lysine amino groups surrounding the heme crevice of cytochrome c and complementary carboxyl groups on plastocyanin. It is of interest that the high-affinity site for cytochrome c binding on bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase has recently been found to involve a sequence of subunit II with some homology to the copper-binding sequence of plastocyanin.

Abstract
The interaction between the oxidized forms of cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) has been investigated by 1H-NMR longitudinal relaxation measurements. It is found that relaxation of methyl groups on the heme ring of cytochrome c markedly deviates from a simple exponential behavior in the presence of small amounts of cytochrome oxidase. A comparison with the relaxation behavior of cytochrome c modified by 4-carboxy-3,5-dinitrophenyl at Lys-13 shows that the oxidase induces a conformation in native cytochrome c that is closely related to that of the derivative. It is suggested that this change in conformation consists of a rupture of the salt bridge between Lys-13 and Glu-90 and a concomitant perturbation of the methionine ligand.

Abstract
1. The cytochrome content of beef liver mitochondria differs from that of beef heart mitochondria by an eightfold lower cytochrome aa3 and a twofold lower cytochrome b and c + c1 content. 2. The kinetic properties of cytochrome c oxidases from beef liver and heart were measured with intact cytochrome c-depleted membranes, deoxycholate-dissolved membranes, and with the isolated enzymes at various cytochrome c concentrations with an oxygen electrode. Under all conditions a higher V was found for the liver enzyme, both for the low-affinity and for the high-affinity binding site for cytochrome c. Differences were also found for the Km of the two enzymes. 3. Isolated beef heart mitochondria contained about twice as much cardiolipin than beef liver mitochondria. The isolated enzymes contained one mole cardiolipin per mole of the heart enzyme, but 2 moles cardiolipin per mole of the liver enzyme. 4. By application of a high performance sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoretic system the two isolated enzymes could be separated into 13 different protein components, three of which (polypeptides VIa, VIIa and VIII) were found to differ in their apparent molecular weights. The functional meaning of cytochrome c oxidase isoenzymes in liver and heart is discussed.
