Neuronal PAS protein 2 (NPAS2), a heme-binding transcriptional regulatory factor, is involved in circadian rhythms. Period homologue (Per) is another important transcriptional regulatory factor that binds to cryptochrome (Cry). The resultant Per/Cry heterodimer interacts with the NPAS2/BMAL1 heterodimer to inhibit the transcription of Per and Cry. Previous cell biology experiments indicate that mouse Per2 (mPer2) is also a heme-binding protein, and heme shuttling between mPer2 and NPAS2 may regulate transcription. In the present study, we show that the isolated PAS-A domain of mPer2 (PAS-A-mPer2) binds the Fe(III) protoporphyrin IX complex (hemin) with a heme:protein stoichiometry of 1:1. Optical absorption and EPR spectroscopic findings suggest that the Fe(III)-bound PAS-A-mPer2 is a six-coordinated low-spin complex with Cys and an unknown axial ligand. A Hg (2+) binding study supports the theory that Cys is one of the axial ligands for Fe(III)-bound PAS-A-mPer2. The dissociation rate constant of the Fe(III) complex from PAS-A-mPer2 (6.3 x 10 (-4) s (-1)) was comparable to that of the heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI), a heme-sensor enzyme (1.5 x 10 (-3) s (-1)), but markedly higher than that of metmyoglobin (8.4 x 10 (-7) s (-1)). As confirmed by a Soret absorption spectral shift, heme transferred from the holo basic helix-loop-helix PAS-A of NPAS2 to apoPAS-A-mPer2. The Soret CD spectrum of the C215A mutant PAS-A-mPer2 protein was markedly different from that of the wild-type protein. On the basis of the data, we propose that PAS-A-mPer2 is a heme-sensor protein in which Cys215 is the heme axial ligand.
