Abstract
Although bonding networks determine electron-transfer (ET) rates within proteins, the mechanism by which structure and dynamics influence ET across protein interfaces is not well understood. Measurements of photochemically induced ET and subsequent charge recombination between Zn-porphyrin-substituted cytochrome c peroxidase and cytochrome c in single crystals correlate reactivity with defined structures for different association modes of the redox partners. Structures and ET rates in crystals are consistent with tryptophan oxidation mediating charge recombination reactions. Conservative mutations at the interface can drastically affect how the proteins orient and dispose redox centers. Whereas some configurations are ET inactive, the wild-type complex exhibits the fastest recombination rate. Other association modes generate ET rates that do not correlate with predictions based on cofactor separations or simple bonding pathways. Inhibition of photoinduced ET at <273 K indicates gating by small-amplitude dynamics, even within the crystal. Thus, different associations achieve states of similar reactivity, and within those states conformational fluctuations enable interprotein ET.

Fig. 2. Complexes of ZnCcP with various Cc mutants have different association modes. (A) Representative ribbon diagrams for ZnCcP bound to Cc variants. From left to right: yCc WT, F82W, and F82S mutants; yCc F82Y and F82I mutants; horse Cc; yCc K72S/F82Y. (B) Relative positioning and interface structures for the ZnCcP:F82W yCc (Left) and ZnCcP:yCc F82I (Right) complexes. Cc (gray ribbons, top) rotates 90° and translates8Åinthe F82I mutant generating altered heme orientations (yellow bonds), interprotein contacts (black and orange side chains), and intervening solvent structure (red spheres) with CcP (yellow, below) compared with the F82W complex. (C) Superposition of ZnCcP from the two ZnCcP: F82S yCc complexes (red and blue) indicate variability in Cc positioning within the asymmetric unit.
