Reduction of plastocyanin by tyrosine-containing oligopeptides. J Inorg Biochem 2006; 100:1871-8.

Abstract
Oxidized plastocyanin (PC) was reduced with TyrTyrTyr and LysLysLysLysTyrTyrTyr (KKKKYYY) oligopeptides at neutral pH. The TyrTyrTyr site of the peptides provided an electron to the copper active site of PC, whereas the tetralysine site of KKKKYYY functioned as the recognition site for the negative patch of PC. The reciprocal initial rate constant (1/k(int)) increased linearly with the reciprocal TyrTyrTyr concentration and proton concentration, although the electron transfer rate decreased gradually with time. The results showed that PC was reduced by the deprotonated species of TyrTyrTyr. A linear increase of log k(int) with increase in the ionic strength was observed due to decrease in the electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged PC and deprotonated (TyrTyrTyr)(-). PC was reduced faster by an addition of KKKKYYY to the PC-TyrTyrTyr solution, although KKKKYYY could not reduce PC without TyrTyrTyr. The ESI-LCMS spectrum of the products from the reaction between PC and TyrTyrTyr showed molecular ion peaks at m/z 1015.7 and 1037.7, which suggested formation of a dimerized peptide that may be produced from the reaction of a tyrosyl radical. The results indicate that PC and the tyrosine-containing oligopeptides form an equilibrium, PC(ox)/(oligopeptide)(-)-->/<--PC(red)/(oligopeptide)(*). The equilibrium is usually shifted to the left, but could shift to the right when the produced oligopeptide radical reacts with unreacted peptides. For the reaction of PC with KKKKYYY in the absence of TyrTyrTyr, the produced KKKK(YYY)(*) radical peptide could not react with other KKKKYYY peptides, since they were positively charged. In the presence of both KKKKYYY and TyrTyrTyr, PC may interact effectively with KKKKYYY through its tetralysine site and receive an electron from its TyrTyrTyr site, where the produced KKKK(YYY)(*) may interact with TyrTyrTyr peptides.

Abstract
A new method to investigate the initial protein folding dynamics is developed based on a pulsed laser light triggering method and a unique transient grating method. The side chain of the cysteine residue of apoplastocyanin (apoPC) was site-specifically modified with a 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl derivative, where the CD and 2D NMR spectra showed that the modified apoPC was unfolded. The substituent was cleaved with a rate of about 400 ns by photoirradiation, which was monitored by the disappearance of the absorption band at 355 nm and the increase in the transient grating signal. After a sufficient time from the photocleavage reaction, the CD and NMR spectra showed that the native beta-sheet structure was recovered. Protein folding dynamics was monitored in the time domain with the transient grating method from a viewpoint of the molecular volume change and the diffusion coefficient, both of which reflect the global structural change, including the protein-water interaction. The observed volume decrease of apoPC with a time scale of 270 micros is ascribed to the initial hydrophobic collapse. The increase in the diffusion coefficient (23 ms) is considered to indicate a change from an intermolecular to an intramolecular hydrogen bonding network. The initial folding process of apoPC is discussed based on these observations.

Abstract
The spectroscopic properties of the self-associated complexes formed between the anionic surface docking site of spinach plastocyanin and the cationic metalloporphyrins, in which the tyrosine 83 (Y83) moiety is placed just below the docking site, tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (Pd(II)TMPyP(4+) and Zn(II)TMPyP(4+)), have been studied and reported herein. The fluorescence quenching phenomenon of the self-assembled complex of Zn(II)TMPyP(4+)/plastocyanin has also been discovered. The observed red-shifting of the Soret and Q-bands of the UV-visible spectra, ca. 9 nm for Pd(II)TMPyP(4+)/plastocyanin and ca. 6 nm for the Zn(II)TMPyP(4+)/plastocyanin complexes, was explained in terms of exciton theory coupled with the Gouterman model. Thus, the hydroxyphenyl terminus of the Y83 residue of the self-associated plastocyanin/cationic porphyrin complexes was implicated in the charge-transfer ligation with the central metal atoms of these metalloporphyrins. Moreover, ground-state spectrometric-binding studies between Pd(II)TMPyP(4+) and the Y83 mutant plastocyanin (Y83F-PC) system proved that Y83 moiety of plastocyanin played a critical role in the formation of such ion-pair complexes. Difference absorption spectra and the Job's plots showed that the electrostatic attractions between the cationic porphyrins and the anionic patch of plastocyanin, bearing the nearby Y83 residue, led to the predominant formation of a self-associated 1:1 complex in the ground-state with significantly high binding constants (K = (8.0 +/- 1.1) x 10(5) M(-1) and (2.7 +/- 0.8) x 10(6) M(-1) for Pd(II)TMPyP(4+) and zinc variant, respectively) in low ionic strength buffer, 1 mM KCl and 1 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Molecular modeling calculations supported the formation of a 1:1 self-associated complex between the porphyrin and plastocyanin with an average distance of ca. 9 A between the centers of mass of the porphyrin and Y83 positioned just behind the anionic surface docking site on the protein surface. The photoexcited singlet state of Zn(II)TMPyP(4+) was quenched by the Y83 residue of the self-associated plastocyanin in a static mechanism as evidenced by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence experiments. Even when all the porphyrin was complexed (more than 97%), significant residual fluorescence from the complex was observed such that the amplitude of quenching of the singlet state of uncomplexed species was enormously obscured.

Abstract
Cytochrome c (cyt c) was reduced by a tyrosine-containing peptide, tyrosyltyrosylphenylalanine (TyrTyrPhe), at pH 6.0-8.0, while tyrosinol or tyrosyltyrosine (TyrTyr) could not reduce cyt c effectively under the same condition. Cyt c was reduced at high peptide concentration, whereas the reaction did not occur effectively at low concentration. The reaction rate varied with time owing to a decrease in the TyrTyrPhe concentration and the production of tyrosine derivatives during the reaction. The initial rate constants were 2.4 x 10(-4) and 8.1 x 10(-4) s(-1) at pH 7.0 and 8.0, respectively, for the reaction with 1.0 mM TyrTyrPhe in 10 mM phosphate buffer at 15 degrees C. The reciprocal initial rate constant (1/k(int)) increased linearly against the reciprocal peptide concentration and against the linear proton concentration, whereas logk(int) decreased linearly against the root of the ionic strength. These results show that deprotonated (TyrTyrPhe)(-), presumably deprotonated at a tyrosine site, reduces cyt c by formation of an electrostatic complex. No significant difference in the reaction rate was observed between the reaction under nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres. From the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of the reaction products, formation of a quinone and other tyrosine derivatives of the peptide was supported. These products should have been produced from a tyrosyl radical. We interpret the results that a cyt c(ox)/(TyrTyrPhe)(-)right harpoon over left harpooncyt c(red)/(TyrTyrPhe)(*) equilibrium is formed, which is usually shifted to the left. This equilibrium may shift to the right by reaction of the produced tyrosyl radical with the tyrosine sites of unreacted TyrTyrPhe peptides.

Abstract
Cyclic voltammetry shows that yeast iso-1-cytochrome c (YCC), chemisorbed on a bare gold electrode via Cys102, exhibits fast, reversible interfacial electron transfer (k(0) = 1.8 x 10(3) s(-1)) and retains its native functionality. Vectorially immobilized YCC relays electrons to yeast cytochrome c peroxidase, and to both cytochrome cd(1) nitrite reductase (NIR) and nitric oxide reductase from Paracoccus denitrificans, thereby revealing the mechanistic properties of these enzymes. On a microelectrode, we measured nitrite turnover by approximately 80 zmol (49 000 molecules) of NIR, coadsorbed on 0.65 amol (390 000 molecules) of YCC.

Abstract
We synthesized and purified four oligopeptides containing four lysines (KKKK, GKKGGKK, KKGGGKK, and KGKGKGK) as models for the plastocyanin (PC) interacting site of cytochrome f. These peptides competitively inhibited electron transfer between cytochrome c and PC. The inhibitory effect increased as the peptide concentrations were increased. The association constants between PC and the peptides did not differ significantly (3500-5100 M(-1)), although the association constant of PC-KGKGKGK was a little larger than the constants between PC and other peptides. Changes in the absorption spectrum of PC were observed when the peptides were added to the PC solution: peaks and troughs were detected at about 460 and 630 nm and at about 560 and 700 nm, respectively, in the difference absorption spectra between the spectra with and without peptides. These changes were attributed to the structural change at the copper site of PC by interaction with the peptides. The structural change was most significant when tetralysine was used. These results show that binding of the oligopeptide to PC is slightly more efficient when lysines are distributed uniformly within the peptide, whereas the structural change of PC becomes larger when the lysines are close to each other within the peptide.

Abstract
Effect of a hydrophobic peptide on folding of oxidized cytochrome c (cyt c) is studied with trityrosine. Folding of cyt c was initiated by pH jump from 2.3 (acid-unfolded) to 4.2 (folded). The Soret band of the 2-ms transient absorption spectrum during folding decreased its intensity and red-shifted from 397 to 400 nm by interaction with trityrosine, whereas tyrosinol caused no significant effect. The change in the transient absorption spectrum by interaction with trityrosine was similar to that obtained with 100 mM imidazole, which showed that the population of the intermediate His/His coordinated species increased during folding of cyt c by interaction with trityrosine. The absorption change was biphasic, the fast phase (82+/-9s(-1)) corresponding to the transition from the His/H(2)O to the His/Met coordinated species, whereas the slow phase (24+/-3s(-1)) from His/His to His/Met. By addition of trityrosine, the relative ratio of the slow phase increased, due to increase of the His/His species at the initial stage of folding. According to the resonance Raman spectra of cyt c, the high-spin 6-coordinate and low-spin 6-coordinate species were dominated at pH 2.3 and 4.2, respectively, and these species were not affected by addition of trityrosine. These results demonstrated that the His/His species increased by interaction with trityrosine at the initial stage of cyt c folding, whereas the heme coordination structure was not affected by trityrosine when the protein was completely unfolded or folded. Hydrophobic peptides thus may be useful to study the effects of hydrophobic interactions on protein folding.

Abstract
Electron transfer from zinc cytochrome c to copper(II)plastocyanin in the electrostatically- stabilized complex [Crnogorac MM, Shen C, Young S Hansson O, Kostic NM (1996) Biochemistry 35, 16465?74]. We study this rearrangement in four complexes Zncyt/pc(II), which zinc cytochrome c makes with the wild-type form and the single mutants Asp42Asn, Glu59Gln, and Glu60Gln of plastocyanin. The rate constant for the rearrangement, kF differs for the four forms of plastocyanin but is independent of pH from 5.4 to 9.0 in all four cases. That kF is affected by the single mutations but not by pH changes suggests that the residues Asp 42, Glu59, and Glu60 in the wild-type plastocyanin remain deprotonated (i.e., as anions) within the Zncyt/pc(II) complex throughout the pH range examined. This fact agrees with the notion that loss of salt bridges in the initial (redox-inactive) configuration of the complex is compensated by formation of new salt bridges in the rearranged (redox-active) configuration.

Abstract
Electrostatic interactions and other weak interactions between amino acid side chains on protein surfaces play important roles in molecular recognition, and the mechanism of their intermolecular interactions has gained much interest. We established that charged peptides are useful for investigating the molecular recognition character of proteins and their molecular interaction induced structural changes. Positively charged lysine peptides competitively inhibited electron transfer from reduced cytochrome f (cyt f or cytochrome c (cyt c) to oxidized plastocyanin (PC), due to neutralization of the negatively charged site of PC by formation of PC-lysine peptide complexes. Lysine peptides also inhibited electron transfer from cyt c to cytochrome c peroxidase. Likewise, negatively charged aspartic acid peptides interacted with the positively charged sites of cytfand cyt c, and competitively inhibited electron transfer from reduced cytfor cyt c to oxidized PC and from [Fe(CN)6]4- to oxidized cyt c. Changes in the geometry and a shift to a higher redox potential of the active site Cu of PC on oligolysine binding were detected by spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements, owing to the absence of absorption in the visible region for lysine peptides. Structural and redox potential changes were also observed for cyt f and cyt c by interaction with aspartic acid peptides.

Abstract
Effects of pH on protein association are not well understood. To understand them better, we combine kinetic experiments, calculations of electrostatic properties, and a new theoretical treatment of pH effects. The familiar proton-linkage model, when used to analyze the dependence of the association constant K on pH, reveals little about the individual proteins. We modified this model to allow determination not only of the numbers of the H+ ions involved in the association but also of the pK(a) values, in both the separate and the associated proteins, of the side chains that are responsible for the dependence of K on pH. Some of these side chains have very similar pK(a) values, and we treat them as a group having a composite pK(a) value. Use of these composite pK(a) values greatly reduces the number of parameters and allows meaningful interpretation of the experimental results. We experimentally determined the variation of K in the interval 5.4 < or = pH < or = 9.0 for four diprotein complexes, those that the wild-type cytochrome c forms with the wild-type plastocyanin and its mutants Asp42Asn, Glu59Gln, and Glu60Gln. The excellent fittings of the experimental results to the modified model verified this model and revealed some unexpected and important properties of these prototypical redox metalloproteins. Protein association causes a decrease in the pK(a) values of the acidic side chains and an increase in the pK(a) values of the basic side chains. Upon association, three carboxylic side chains in wild-type plastocyanin each release a H+ ion. These side chains in free plastocyanin have an anomalously high composite pK(a) value, approximately 6.3. Upon association, five or six side chains in cytochrome c, likely those of lysine, each take up a H+ ion. Some of these side chains have anomalously low pK(a) values, less than 7.0. The unusual pK(a) values of the residues in the recognition patches of plastocyanin and cytochrome c may be significant for the biological functions of these proteins. Although each mutation in plastocyanin markedly, and differently, changed the dependence of K on pH, the model consistently gave excellent fittings. They showed decreased numbers of H+ ions released or taken up upon protein association and altered composite pK(a) values of the relevant side chains. Comparisons of the fitted composite pK(a) values with the theoretically calculated pK(a) values for plastocyanin indicated that Glu59 and Asp61 in the wild-type plastocyanin each release a H+ ion upon association with cytochrome c. Information of this kind cannot readily be obtained by spectroscopic methods. Our modification of the proton-linkage model is a general one, applicable also to ligands other than H+ ion and to processes other than association.

Interactions of wild-type and Tyr83 mutant (Y83F, Y83S, Y83L, and Y83H) plastocyanins (PCs) with lysine peptides as models for the PC interacting site of cytochrome f have been studied by absorption, resonance Raman, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies and electrochemical measurements. The spectral and electrochemical properties of PCs corresponded well with each other; species having a longer wavelength maximum for the S(Cys) pi --> Cu 3d(x)()()2(-)(y)()()2 charge transfer (CT) band observed around 600 nm and a stronger intensity for the 460-nm absorption band exhibited stronger intensities for the positive Met --> Cu 3d(x)()()2(-)(y)()()2 and negative His pi(1) --> Cu 3d(x)()()2(-)(y)()()2 circular dichroism (CD) bands at about 420 and 470 nm, respectively, a lower average nu(Cu)(-)(S) frequency, a smaller |A( parallel)| EPR parameter, and a higher redox potential, properties all related to a weaker Cu-S(Cys) bond and a more tetrahedral planar geometry for the Cu site. Similarly, on oligolysine binding to wild-type and several Tyr83 mutant PCs, a longer absorption maximum for the 600-nm CT band, a stronger intensity for the 460-nm absorption band, stronger 420-nm positive and 470-nm negative CD bands, and a lower average nu(Cu)(-)(S) frequency were observed, suggesting that PC assumes a slight more tetrahedral geometry on binding of oligolysine. Since changes were observed for both wild-type and Tyr83 mutant PCs, the structural change due to binding of oligolysine to PC may not be transmitted through the path of Tyr83-Cys84-copper by a cation-pi interaction which is proposed for electron transfer.

Abstract
Structural change of Cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) due to interaction with lysine peptides (Lysptds) has been studied by absorption spectra and measurements on electron transfer between cytochrome c (cyt c) and CcP in the presence of Lysptd. Peaks were observed in the difference absorption spectrum of CcP between in the presence and absence of Lysptds, demonstrating a structural perturbation of CcP, at least at its heme site, on interaction with Lysptd. The interaction between CcP and Lysptd was electrostatic, since no significant peak was detected in the difference absorption spectrum when 100 mM of NaCl was added to the solution. Lysptds competitively inhibited electron transfer from cyt c to CcP, which indicated that they interacted with CcP at the same site as cyt c and would be models of the CcP interacting site of cyt c.

Abstract
The review covers the theory and practice of the determination of kinetic constants for the electron transfer reactions in chloroplast thylakoid membranes between plastocyanin and cytochrome f in cytochrome bf complexes, and between plastocyanin and the reaction centre of photosystem I. Effects of ionic strength and pH are featured. The contribution of mutant studies is included. It is concluded that nearly all data from in vitro experiments can be interpreted with a reaction scheme in which an encounter complex between donor and acceptor is formed by long-range electrostatic attraction, followed by rearrangement during which metal centres become close enough for rapid intra-complex electron transfer. In vivo experiments so far cast doubt on this particular sequence, but their interpretation is not straightforward. Means of modelling the bimolecular complex between cytochrome f and plastocyanin are outlined, and two likely structures are illustrated. The complex formed by plastocyanin and photosystem I in higher plants involves the PsaF subunit, but its structure has not been fully determined.
