Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) of the ammonia-oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas catalyzes the oxidation: NH2OH + H2O----HNO2 + 2e- + 2 H+. The heme-like chromophore P460 is part of a site which binds substrate, extracts electrons and then passes them to the many c hemes of the enzyme. Reduction of the c hemes by hydroxylamine is biphasic with apparent first-order rate constants k1 and k2. CO binds to ferrous P460 with apparent first-order rate constants, k1,CO. In this work we have measured the binding of CO to ferrous P460 of hydroxylamine oxidoreductase and the reduction by substrate of some of the 24 c hemes of the ferric enzyme. These reactions have been studied in water and 40% ethylene glycol, at temperatures ranging from -15 degrees C to 20.7 degrees C and at hydrostatic pressures ranging over 0.1-80 MPa. From the measurements, thermodynamic parameters delta V+ (activation volume), delta G+, delta H+, and delta S+ have been calculated. CO binding. Binding of CO to ferrous P460 was similar to the binding of CO to ferrous horseradish peroxidase. The change of solvent had only a limited effect on delta V+ (-30 ml.mol-1), delta G+, delta H+ or delta S+ and did not cause an inflection in the Arrhenius plot or downward displacement of the linear relationship between ln k1,CO and P at a critical temperature. Binding was exothermic at high temperatures. The response of the binding of CO to solvent, temperature and pressure suggested that the CO binding site had little access to solvent and was not susceptible to change in protein conformation. Fast phase of reduction of c hemes. Changing the solvent from water to 40% ethylene glycol resulted in a decrease from 90% to 50% in the relative number of c hemes reduced during the fast phase, an increase in activation volume from -3.6 ml.mol-1 to 57 ml.mol-1 and changes in other thermodynamic parameters. The activation volume increased with decreasing temperature. The Arrhenius plot had a downward inflection at about 0 degrees C and, in water or ethylene glycol, the linear dependence of ln k1 on P was displaced downwards as the temperature changed from 3.5 degrees C to -15 degrees C. Slow phase of reduction of c hemes. Changing the solvent from water to 40% ethylene glycol resulted in an increase in the relative number of c hemes reduced during the slow phase from 10% to 50%. The activation volume, which was not measurable in water because of the low absorbance change, was -30 ml.mol-1 in ethylene glycol. The activation volume increased with increasing temperature.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
