A detailed investigation of the reduction of cytochrome c by glutathione has shown that the reaction proceeds through several steps. A rapid combination of the reducing agent with the cytochrome leads to the formation of a glutathione-cytochrome intermediate in which the glutathione most likely interacts with the edge of the heme moiety. The electron transfer takes place in a subsequent slower step. Since cytochrome c(III) exists in two conformational forms at neutral pH [Kujundzic, N., & Everse, J. (1978) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 82, 1211], the reduction of cytochrome c by glutathione may be represented by cyt c(III) + GS- reversible K1 cyt c(III) ... GS- reversible k1 products cyt c*(III) + GS- reversible K2 cyt c*(III) ... GS- reversible k2 products At 25 degrees C, pH 7.5, and an ionic strength of 1.0 (NaCl), k1 = 1.2 X 10(-3) S-1, k2 = 2.0 X 10(-3) S-1, k1 = 2.9 X 10(3) M-1, and K2 = 5.3 X 10(3) M-1. The reaction is catalyzed by trisulfides, and second-order rate constants of 4.55 X 10(3) and 7.14 X 10(3) M-1 S-1 were obtained for methyl trisulfide and cysteine trisulfide, respectively.
