A novel double heme substitution produces a functional bo3 variant of the quinol oxidase aa3 of Bacillus cereus. Purification and partial characterization.

A novel bo3-type quinol oxidase was highly purified from Bacillus cereus PYM1, a spontaneous mutant unable to synthesize heme A and therefore spectroscopically detectable cytochromes aa3 and caa3. The purified enzyme contained 12.4 nmol of heme O and 11.5 nmol of heme B mg-1 protein. The enzyme wa ... >> More
A novel bo3-type quinol oxidase was highly purified from Bacillus cereus PYM1, a spontaneous mutant unable to synthesize heme A and therefore spectroscopically detectable cytochromes aa3 and caa3. The purified enzyme contained 12.4 nmol of heme O and 11.5 nmol of heme B mg-1 protein. The enzyme was composed of two subunits with an Mr of 51,000 and 30,000, respectively. Both subunits were immunoreactive to antibodies raised against the B cereus aa3 oxidase. Moreover, amino-terminal sequence analysis of the 30-kDa subunit revealed that the first 19 residues were identical to those from the 30-kDa subunit of the B. cereus aa3 oxidase. The purified bo3 oxidase failed to oxidize ferrrocytochrome c (neither yeast nor horse) but oxidized tetrachlorohydroquinol with an apparent Km of 498 microM, a Vmax of 21 micromol of O2 min-1mg-1, and a calculated turnover of 55 s-1. The quinol oxidase activity with tetrachlorohydroquinol was inhibited by potassium cyanide and 2-n-heptyl 4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide with an I50 of 24 and 300 microM, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the bo3 oxidase of this mutant is not the product of a new operon but instead is a cytochrome aa3 apoprotein encoded by the qox operon of the aa3 oxidase of B. cereus wild type promiscuously assembled with hemes B and O replacing heme A, producing a novel bo3 cytochrome. This is the first reported example of an enzymatically active promiscuous oxidase resulting from the simultaneous substitution of its original hemes in the high and low spin sites. << Less
