The reaction of dioxygen with the ferrous forms of the cloned cytochrome c peroxidase [CCP(MI)] and mutants of CCP(MI) prepared by site-directed mutagenesis was studied by photolysis of the respective ferrous-CO complexes in the presence of dioxygen. Reaction of ferrous CCP(MI) with dioxygen transiently formed a FeII-O2 complex (bimolecular rate constant = (3.8 +/- 0.3) x 10(4) M-1 s-1 at pH 6.0; 23 degrees C) that reacted further (first-order rate constant = 4 +/- 1 s-1) to form a product with an absorption spectrum and an EPR radical signal at g = 2.00 that were identical to those of compound I formed by the reaction of CCP(MI)III with peroxide. Thus, the product of the reaction of CCP(MI)II with dioxygen retained three of the four oxidizing equivalents of dioxygen. Gel electrophoresis of the CCP(MI)II + dioxygen reaction products showed that covalent dimeric and trimeric forms of CCP(MI) were produced by the reaction of CCP(MI)II with dioxygen. Photolysis of the CCP(MI)II-CO complex in the presence of ferrous cytochrome c prevented the appearance of the cross-linked forms and resulted in the oxidation of 3 mol of cytochrome c/mol of CCP(MI)II-CO added. The results provide evidence that reaction of CCP(MI)II with dioxygen causes transient oxidation of the enzyme by 1 equiv above the normal compound I oxidation state. Mutations that eliminate the broad EPR signal at g = 2.00 characteristic of the compound I radical also prevented the rapid oxidation of the ferrous enzyme by dioxygen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
