摘要
The crucial reaction intermediate in the reaction of peroxidase with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), compound I, contains a porphyrin pi-cation radical in horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which catalyzes oxidation of small organic and inorganic compounds, whereas cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) has a radical center on the tryptophan residue (Trp-191) and oxidizes the redox partner, cytochrome c. To investigate the roles of the amino acid residue near the heme active center in discriminating the function of the peroxidases in these two enzymes, we prepared a CcP-like HRP mutant, F221W (Phe-221 --> Trp). Although the rapid spectral scanning and stopped-flow experiments confirmed that the F221W mutant reacts with H2O2 to form the porphyrin pi-cation radical at the same rate as for the wild-type enzyme, the characteristic spectral features of the porphyrin pi-cation radical disappeared rapidly, and were converted to the compound II-type spectrum. The EPR spectrum of the resultant species produced by reduction of the porphyrin pi-cation radical, however, was quite different from that of compound II in HRP, showing typical signals from a Trp radical as found for CcP. The sequential radical formation from the porphyrin ring to the Trp residue implies that the proximal Trp is a key residue in the process of the radical transfer from the porphyrin ring, which differentiates the function of peroxidases.
