Inhibition by carbon monoxide of the secondary-amine mono-oxygenase of Pseudomonas aminovorans and the photochemical action spectrum for its reversal.

The secondary-amine mono-oxygenase (EC 1.14.99.--) of Pseudomonas aminovorans is potently inhibited by carbon monoxide. The degree of inhibition of the purified enzyme was determined by the CO:O2 ratio rather than by the absolute concentration of carbon monoxide. The partition constant (the CO:O2 ratio causing 50% inhibition of activity) was 9.2 X 10(-4). The inhibition could be reversed by light, and the extent of reversal was proportional to the light intensity. With monochromatic light of wavelength 417 nm, the light sensitivity, L, was determined to be 2.5 X 10(8) cm2 min/mol quantum. The photochemical action spectrum for the light reversal of inhibition showed a single maximum of effectiveness at about 420 nm. The difference spectrum of the enzyme (reduced by NADH) on bubbling with CO (compared with an NADH-reduced reference sample) showed a peak at 426 nm. The preparations showed none of the spectral properties to cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenase preparations, and was much more sensitive to carbon monoxide. The enzyme behaves as a typical o-type cytochrome (i.e. a carbon-monoxide-reactive b-type cytochrome), and its sensitivity to carbon monoxide as well as in its spectral properties, shows close resemblances to haemoglobin.
