Factors influencing redox thermodynamics and electron self-exchange for the [Fe4S4] cluster in Chromatium vinosum high potential iron protein: the role of core aromatic residues in defining cluster redox chemistry.

The roles of aromatic core residues in regulating the reduction potential, the enthalpy and entropy of reduction, and the self-exchange rate constants for electron-transfer reactions for the prosthetic [Fe4S4]3+/2+ cluster of Chromatium vinosum high potential iron protein (HiPIP) have been addressed by a combination of site-directed mutagenesis, high field NMR (EXSY) experiments, and variable temperature spectrochemical redox titration measurements. Minimal changes are observed following nonconservative mutation of residues Tyr19, Phe48, and Phe66. Apparently these hydrophobic residues play only a minor role in defining the electronic properties of the cluster. These data support a model, first defined from results obtained on Tyr19 mutant HiPIP's [Agarwal, A., Li, D., & Cowan, J.A. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92, 9440-9444], in which the aromatic core restricts solvent accessibility and thereby stabilizes the oxidized [Fe4S4]3+ cluster.
