Electronic absorption, MCD, and 1H NMR spectroscopy have been used to characterize the structures and linkage relationships of three active site states, LS1, HS, and LS2, of the Trp51Ala variant of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) in the Fe(III) state. In addition, the binding of three substrates (styrene, catechol, and guaiacol) to the Fe(III) variant has been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy, and the paramagnetically shifted resonances of the cyanide adduct of the variant have been assigned. The heme iron is hexacoordinated in all three pH-dependent states of the enzyme. LS1, the dominant acidic species, exhibits electronic and MCD spectra indicative of low-spin, bis-histidine coordination environment for the heme iron. The HS form, which dominates at intermediate pH, exhibits electronic, MCD, and 1H NMR spectra characteristic of high-spin heme Fe(III) with axial histidyl and water ligands. The LS2 species exhibits spectroscopic properties indicative of a bis-histidine, low-spin Fe(III) derivative. The equilibrium constants for interconversion of these forms of the variant enzyme are highly dependent on ionic strength, specific anions, and temperature of the solution, with the HS form stabilized relative to the other forms in the presence of several noncoordinating, anionic species. Aromatic substrates such as styrene, catechol, and guaiacol affect the chemical shifts of the heme substituents of the HS species but not of the LS2 species. Based on these results, a model is proposed that accounts to a large extent for the electrostatic origin of the three forms of the active site of the Trp51Ala variant and the mechanisms by which they are differentially stabilized in solution.
