Abstract
Neuroglobin is a member of the globin family involved in neuroprotection; it is primarily expressed in the brain and retina of vertebrates. Neuroglobin belongs to the heterogeneous group of hexacoordinate globins that have evolved in animals, plants and bacteria, endowed with the capability of reversible intramolecular coordination, allowing the binding of small gaseous ligands (O2, NO and CO). In a unique fashion among haemoproteins, ligand-binding events in neuroglobin are dependent on the sliding of the haem itself within a preformed internal cavity, as revealed by the crystal structure of its CO-bound derivative. Point mutants of the neuroglobin internal cavity have been engineered and their functional and structural characterization shows that hindering the haem displacement leads to a decrease in CO affinity, whereas reducing the cavity volume without interfering with haem sliding has negligible functional effects.

Abstract
The pattern of cytochrome c oxidase inhibition by nitric oxide (NO) was investigated polarographically using Keilin-Hartree particles, mitochondria and human neuroblastoma cells. NO reacts with purified cytochrome c oxidase forming either a nitrosyl- or a nitrite-inhibited derivative, displaying distinct kinetics and light sensitivity of respiration recovery in the absence of free NO. Keilin-Hartree particles or cells, respiring either on endogenous substrates alone or in the presence of ascorbate, as well as state 3 and state 4 mitochondria respiring on glutamate and malate, displayed the rapid recovery characteristic of the nitrite derivative. All systems, when respiring in the presence of tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, were characterised by the slower, light-sensitive recovery typical of the nitrosyl derivative. Together the results suggest that the reaction of NO with cytochrome c oxidase in situ follows two alternative inhibition pathways, depending on the electron flux through the respiratory chain.

Abstract
The cytochrome cbb3 is an isoenzyme in the family of cytochrome c oxidases. This protein purified from Pseudomonas stutzeri displays a cyanide-sensitive nitric oxide reductase activity (Vmax=100+/-9 mol NO x mol cbb3(-1) x min(-1) and Km=12+/-2.5 microm), which is lost upon denaturation. This enzyme is only partially reduced by ascorbate, and readily re-oxidized by NO under anaerobic conditions at a rate consistent with the turnover number for NO consumption. As shown by transient spectroscopy experiments and singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, these results suggest that the cbb3-type cytochromes, sharing structural features with bacterial nitric oxide reductases, are the enzymes retaining the highest NO reductase activity within the heme-copper oxidase superfamily.

Abstract
The reactions of nitric oxide (NO) with the turnover intermediates of cytochrome c oxidase were investigated by combining amperometric and spectroscopic techniques. We show that the complex of nitrite with the oxidized enzyme (O) is obtained by reaction of both the "peroxy" (P) and "ferryl" (F) intermediates with stoichiometric NO, following a common reaction pathway consistent with P being an oxo-ferryl adduct. Similarly to chloride-free O, NO reacted with P and F more slowly [k approximately (2-8) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)] than with the reduced enzyme (k approximately 1 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)). Recovery of activity of the nitrite-inhibited oxidase, either during turnover or after a reduction-oxygenation cycle, was much more rapid than nitrite dissociation from the fully oxidized enzyme (t(1/2) approximately 80 min). The anaerobic reduction of nitrite-inhibited oxidase produced the fully reduced but uncomplexed enzyme, suggesting that reversal of inhibition occurs in turnover via nitrite dissociation from the cytochrome a(3)-Cu(B) site: this finding supports the hypothesis that oxidase may have a physiological role in the degradation of NO into nitrite. Kinetic simulations suggest that the probability for NO to be transformed into nitrite is greater at low electron flux through oxidase, while at high flux the fully reduced (photosensitive) NO-bound oxidase is formed; this is fully consistent with our recent finding that light releases the inhibition of oxidase by NO only at higher reductant pressure [Sarti, P., et al. (2000) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 274, 183].

The heme-copper oxidases of Thermus thermophilus catalyze the reduction of nitric oxide: evolutionary implications. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1999; 96:14718-23.

Abstract
We show that the heme-copper terminal oxidases of Thermus thermophilus (called ba(3) and caa(3)) are able to catalyze the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N(2)O) under reducing anaerobic conditions. The rate of NO consumption and N(2)O production were found to be linearly dependent on enzyme concentration, and activity was abolished by enzyme denaturation. Thus, contrary to the eukaryotic enzyme, both T. thermophilus oxidases display a NO reductase activity (3.0 +/- 0.7 mol NO/mol ba(3) x min and 32 +/- 8 mol NO/mol caa(3) x min at [NO] approximately 50 microM and 20 degrees C) that, though considerably lower than that of bona fide NO reductases (300-4,500 mol NO/mol enzyme x min), is definitely significant. We also show that for ba(3) oxidase, NO reduction is associated to oxidation of cytochrome b at a rate compatible with turnover, suggesting a mechanism consistent with the stoichiometry of the overall reaction. We propose that the NO reductase activity of T. thermophilus oxidases may depend on a peculiar Cu(B)(+) coordination, which may be revealed by the forthcoming three-dimensional structure. These findings support the hypothesis of a common phylogeny of aerobic respiration and bacterial denitrification, which was proposed on the basis of structural similarities between the Pseudomonas stutzeri NO reductase and the cbb(3) terminal oxidases. Our findings represent functional evidence in support of this hypothesis.

Abstract
The role of nitric oxide (NO) as a signalling molecule involved in many pathophysiological processes (e.g., smooth muscle relaxation, inflammation, neurotransmission, apoptosis) has been elaborated during the last decade. Since NO has also been found to inhibit cellular respiration, we review here the available information on the interactions of NO with cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme of the respiratory chain. The effect of NO on cellular respiration is first summarized to present essential evidence for the fact that NO is a potent reversible inhibitor of in vivo O2 consumption. This information is then correlated with available experimental evidence on the reactions of NO with purified COX. Finally, since COX has been proposed to catalyze the degradation of NO into either nitrous oxide (N2O) or nitrite, we consider the putative role of this enzyme in the catabolism of NO in vivo.

Abstract
Experimental evidence is presented supporting a mechanism of S-nitrosothiol formation and degradation mediated by copper ions using bovine serum albumin, human hemoglobin and glutathione as models. We found that Cu(2+), but not Fe(3+), induces in the presence of NO a fast S-nitrosation of bovine serum albumin and human hemoglobin, and the reaction is prevented by thiol blocking reagents. During the reaction, Cu(+) is accumulated and accounts for destabilization of the S-nitrosothiol formed. In contrast, glutathione rapidly dimerizes in the presence of Cu(2+), the reaction competing with S-nitrosation and therefore preventing the formation of S-nitrosoglutathione. We have combined the presented role of Cu(2+) in S-nitrosothiol formation with the known destabilizing effect of Cu(+), providing a unique simple picture where the redox state of copper determines either the NO release from S-nitrosothiols or the NO scavenging by thiol groups. The reactions described are fast, efficient, and may occur at micromolar concentration of all reactants. We propose that the mechanism presented may provide a general method for in vitro S-nitrosation.

Abstract
The kinetic properties of the ba3 oxidase from Thermus thermophilus were investigated by stopped-flow spectroscopy in the temperature range of 5-70 degrees C. Peculiar behavior in the reaction with physiological substrates and classical ligands (CO and CN-) was observed. In the O2 reaction, the decay of the F intermediate is significantly slower (k' = 100 s-1 at 5 degrees C) than in the mitochondrial enzyme, with an activation energy E of 10.1 +/- 0.9 kcal mol-1. The cyanide-inhibited ba3 oxidizes cyt c522 quickly (k approximately 5 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 at 25 degrees C) and selectively, with an activation energy E of 10.9 +/- 0.9 kcal mol-1, but slowly oxidizes ruthenium hexamine, a fast electron donor for the mitochondrial enzyme. Cyt c552 oxidase activity is enhanced up to 60 degrees C and is maximal at extremely low ionic strengths, excluding formation of a high-affinity cyt c522-ba3 electrostatic complex. The thermophilic oxidase is less sensitive to cyanide inhibition, although cyanide binding under turnover is much quicker (seconds) than in the fully oxidized state (days). Finally, the affinity of reduced ba3 for CO at 20 degrees C (Keq = 1 x 10(5) M-1) was found to be smaller than that of beef heart aa3 (Keq = 4 x 10(6) M-1), partly because of an unusually fast, strongly temperature-dependent CO dissociation from cyt a32+ of ba3 (k' = 0.8 s-1 vs k' = 0.02 s-1 for beef heart aa3 at 20 degrees C). The relevance of these results to adaptation of respiratory activity to high temperatures and low environmental O2 tensions is discussed.

Abstract
The O2 reaction and the reverse electron transfer of the thermophilic caa3 terminal oxidase of Bacillus stearothermophilus have been studied by laser flash-photolysis. The results show that both reactions, although studied at a temperature of 20 degreesC, far from the optimal temperature of > 60 degreesC for caa3, follow a kinetic behavior essentially identical to that observed with the electrostatic complex between mammalian cyt c and cyt c oxidase. In the O2 reaction cyt a and cyt a3 are very quickly oxidized; cyt a is then re-reduced via CuA, whereas cyt c oxidation is apparently rate-limited by the oxidation of CuA. Upon photodissociation of the mixed valence-CO caa3, reverse electron transfer from the binuclear center to cyt a3+ (tau1 = 3 micros) and CuA2+ (tau2 = 64 micros) is observed, while cyt c is not reduced by any detectable level. These results seem to rule out accounting for enzymatic thermophilicity by altered kinetics of intramolecular electron transfer involving the cyt center in the reduced configuration, which is very fast. On the basis of these results and previous data, we propose that thermophilicity involves an increased activation barrier for the reduction of cyt a3-CuB in the configuration typical of the oxidized site.

Abstract
The reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with oxidized fast cytochrome c oxidase was investigated by stopped-flow, amperometry, and EPR, using the enzyme as prepared or after "pulsing." A rapid reduction of cytochrome a is observed with the pulsed, but not with the enzyme as prepared. The reactive species (lambdamax = 424 nm) reacts with NO at k = 2.2 x 10(5) M-1 s-1 at 20 degreesC and is stable for hours unless Cl- is added, in which case it decays slowly (t1/2 approximately 70 min) to an unreactive state (lambdamax = 423 nm) similar to the enzyme as prepared. Thus, Cl- binding prevents a rapid reaction of NO with the oxidized binuclear center. EPR experiments show no new signals within 15 s after addition of NO to the enzyme as prepared. Amperometric measurements show that the pulsed NO-reactive enzyme reacts with high affinity and a stoichiometry of 1 NO/aa3, whereas the enzyme as prepared reacts to a very small extent (<20%). In both cases, the reactivity is abolished by pre-incubation with cyanide. These experiments suggest that the effect of "pulsing" the enzyme, which leads to enhanced NO reactivity, arises from removing Cl- bound at the oxidized cytochrome a3-CuB site.

Abstract
A possible role of reduced cytochrome c oxidase in the metabolism of nitric oxide (NO) has been examined with amperometric and stopped-flow photometric techniques. Reduced purified cytochrome c oxidase and mitochondria showed no catalytic reaction with NO under anaerobic conditions within more than 30 minutes. Only fast binding of NO to the reduced enzyme in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio was observed. The NO binding rate was strongly decreased in the presence of 1 mM cyanide. These data indicate that, contrary to previous proposals, cytochrome c oxidase in the absence of oxygen does not contribute to physiological NO metabolism.

Abstract
Two alternative hypotheses have been proposed to account for the relatively slow (ms) internal eT observed in the oxidized cyt c oxidase. The thermodynamic control hypothesis states that eT between cyt a and a3 is very fast (microsecond), but the apparent reduction of cyt a3 is slow because thermodynamics favors reduced cyt a. Whereas the kinetic control hypothesis states that inter-heme eT is intrinsically slow (ms), for the oxidized binuclear center. Monitoring by stopped flow the anaerobic reduction of the oxidized enzyme by ruthenium hexamine in the absence and presence of CO or NO, used as "trapping" ligands for cyt a3(2+), we found that the rate of formation of the cyt a3(2+)-NO adduct (k' approximately 20-25 s-1) is independent of the concentration of ruthenium hexamine and NO. We conclude that in the oxidized enzyme the two hemes are not in very rapid redox equilibrium and internal eT is kinetically controlled.

Abstract
The aa3 quinol oxidase has been purified from the thermoacidophilic archaea Acidianus ambivalens as a three-redox-centers enzyme. The functional properties of this oxidase both as purified and in its most integral form (i.e. in native membranes and in intact cells) were investigated by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The results suggest that the enzyme interacts in vivo with a redox-active molecule, which favours the electron entry via heme a and provides the fourth electron demanded for catalysis. We observe that the purified enzyme has two hemes with apparent redox potentials 215 +/- 20 mV and 415 +/- 20 mV at pH 5.4, showing redox-Bohr effect, and a heme a3-CuB center with an affinity for carbon monoxide (Ka = 5.7 x 10(4) M(-1) at 35 degrees C) much lower than that reported for the mammalian enzyme (Ka = 4 x 10(6) M(-1) at 20 degrees C). The reduction by dithionite is fast and monophasic when the quinol oxidase is in the native membranes, whereas it is slow and biphasic in the purified enzyme (with heme a3 being reduced faster than heme a). The oxygen reaction of the reduced purified enzyme is fast (few milliseconds), but yields an intermediate (likely ferryl) clearly different from the fully oxidized enzyme. In contrast, the same reaction performed in intact cells leads to the fully oxidized enzyme. We postulate that caldariella quinol, the physiological electron donor, is in vivo tightly bound to the enzyme, providing the fourth redox active center lacking in the purified enzyme.

Abstract
We present novel experimental evidence that, starting with the oxidized enzyme, the internal electron transfer in cytochrome c oxidase is kinetically controlled. The anaerobic reduction of the oxidized enzyme by ruthenium hexamine has been followed in the absence and presence of CO or NO, used as trapping ligands for reduced cytochrome a3. In the presence of NO, the rate of formation of the cytochrome a32+-NO adduct is independent of the concentration of ruthenium hexamine and of NO, indicating that in the oxidized enzyme cytochrome a and a3 are not in very rapid redox equilibrium; on the other hand, CO proved to be a poor "trapping" ligand. We conclude that the intrinsic rate constant for a --> a3 electron transfer in the oxidized enzyme is 25 s-1. These data are discussed with reference to a model (Verkhovsky, M. I., Morgan, J. E., and Wikström, M. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 7483-7491) in which H+ diffusion and/or binding at the binuclear site is the rate-limiting step in the reduction of cytochrome a3 in the oxidized enzyme.

Abstract
The mechanism of inhibition of cytochrome (cyt) c oxidase by nitric oxide (NO) has been investigated by stopped flow transient spectroscopy and singular value decomposition analysis. Following the time course of cyt c oxidation at different O2/NO ratios, we observed that the onset of inhibition: (i) is fast and at a high NO concentration is complete during the first turnover; (ii) is sensitive to the O2/NO ratio; and (iii) is independent of incubation time of the oxidized enzyme with NO. Analysis of the reaction kinetics and computer simulations support the conclusion that inhibition occurs via binding of NO to a turnover intermediate with a partially reduced cyt a3-CuB binuclear center. The inhibited enzyme has the optical spectrum typical of NO bound to reduced cyt a3. Reversal of inhibition in the presence of O2 does not involve a direct reaction of O2 with NO while bound at the binuclear center, since recovery of activity occurs at the rate of NO dissociation (k = 0.13 s-1), as determined in the absence of O2 using hemoglobin as a NO scavenger. We propose that removal of NO from the medium is associated with reactivation of the enzyme via a relatively fast thermal dissociation of NO from the reduced cyt a3-CuB center.

Abstract
The thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus possesses a caa3-type terminal oxidase, which was previously purified (De Vrij, W., Heyne, R. I. R., and Konings, W. N. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 178, 763-770). We have carried out extensive kinetic experiments on the purified enzyme by stopped-flow time-resolved optical spectroscopy combined with singular value decomposition analysis. The results indicate a striking similarity of behavior between this enzyme and the electrostatic complex between mammalian cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase. CO binding to fully reduced caa3 occurs with a second order rate constant (k = 7.8 x 10(4)M-1 s-1) and an activation energy (E* = 6.1 kcal mol-1) similar to those reported for beef heart cytochrome c oxidase. Dithionite reduces cytochrome a with bimolecular kinetics, while cytochrome a3 (and CuB) is reduced via intramolecular electron transfer. When the fully reduced enzyme is mixed with O2, cytochrome a3, and cytochrome c are rapidly oxidized, whereas cytochrome a remains largely reduced in the first few milliseconds. When cyanide-bound caa3 is mixed with ascorbate plus TMPD, cytochrome c and cytochrome a are synchronously reduced; the value of the second order rate constant (k = 3 x 10(5) M-1 s-1 at 30 degrees C) suggests that cytochrome c is the electron entry site. Steady-state experiments indicate that cytochrome a has a redox potential higher than cytochrome c. The data from the reaction with O2 reveal a remarkable similarity in the kinetic, equilibrium, and optical properties of caa3 and the electrostatic complex cytochrome c/cytochrome c oxidase.

Abstract
A covalent complex between cytochrome c oxidase and Saccharomyces cerevisiae iso-1-cytochrome c (called caa3) has been prepared at low ionic strength. Subunit III Cys-115 of beef heart cytochrome c oxidase cross-links by disulphide bond formation to thionitrobenzoate-modified yeast cytochrome c, a derivative shown to bind into the high-affinity site for substrate [Fuller, Darley-Usmar and Capaldi (1981) Biochemistry 20, 7046-7053]. Stopped-flow experiments show that (1) covalently bound yeast cytochrome c cannot donate electrons to cytochrome oxidase, whereas oxidation of exogenously added cytochrome c and electron transfer to cytochrome a are only slightly affected; (2) the steady-state reduction levels of cytochrome c and cytochrome a in the covalent complex caa3 are higher than those found in the native aa3 enzyme. However, (3) K(m) and Vmax values obtained from the non-linear Eadie-Hofstee plots are very similar in both caa3 and aa3. The results imply that cytochrome c bound to the high-affinity site is not in a configuration optimal for electron transfer.

Abstract
The thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius possesses a very unusual terminal oxidase. We report original kinetic experiments on membranes of this microorganism carried out by stopped flow, using time-resolved optical spectroscopy combined with singular value decomposition analysis. The reduced-oxidized kinetic difference spectrum of the Sulfolobus membranes is characterized by three significant peaks in the visible region at 605, 586, and 560 nm. The 605-nm peak and part of the 586-nm peak (cytochrome aa3-type quinol oxidase) are reduced synchronously by both ascorbate plus N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylendiamine (TMPD) and dithionite, and they are very rapidly oxidized by molecular oxygen. A second pool of cytochromes seems to contribute to the 586-nm peak which is not reduced by ascorbate plus TMPD and reacts very slowly with dithionite. The b-type cytochromes (560 nm peak) are reduced by both reductants and are essentially "non-autoxidizable" at room temperature. Only one CO binding site with spectral features, kinetic properties, and ligand affinity not very dissimilar from those of mammalian cytochrome oxidase can be detected in the ascorbate-reduced membranes. On the contrary, a second CO binding site having unusual properties for aa3 terminal oxidases can be detected in the dithionite-reduced membranes.
