The EPR spectra of the NO complexes of frozen solutions of ascorbic acid-reduced cytochrome oxidase (nitrite reductase) purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, of its heme d1-depleted form, and of heme d1 in solutions containing various nitrogenous bases are quite similar to each other as well as to several heme (iron protoporphyrin IX)-containing proteins. The NO complexes of heme d1 (an iron-chlorin) in the presence of nitrogenous bases belong to spectral type C according to Kon's classification and, thus, the energy levels of the iron are closely related to thorse of heme complexes recorded under similar conditions. Comparison of these spectra with those of complexes of known structure suggests that both heme c and heme d1 are linked with Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase by means of a nitrogenous ligand. The EPR spectrum of the NO complex of the native enzyme exhibits a lack of resolution of the high field (gy) resonance which can be characterized in terms of a spectral contribution from both the heme c and heme d1 moieties. The similarity between the EPR spectra of the NO complexes of horse heart cytochrome c and the heme d1-depleted Pseudomonas cytochrome oxidase before and after interaction with urea suggests structural similarities involving the heme irons. The changes caused by urea are likely to be a breaking or distortion of the bond between the iron and the protein-donated nitrogenous ligand and are similar to alterations seen with NO complexes of hemoglobin under a variety of conditions.
