• W2091082279 abstract "Wild-type and three altered Azotobacter vinelandii nitrogenase MoFe proteins, with substitutions either at alpha-195(His) (replaced by alpha-195(Asn) or alpha-195(Gln)) or at alpha-191(Gln) (replaced by alpha-191(Lys)), were used to probe the interactions of HCN and CN(-), both of which are present in NaCN solutions at pH 7.4, with nitrogenase. The first goal was to determine how added C(2)H(2) enhances the rate of CH(4) production from HCN reduction by wild-type nitrogenase. In the absence of C(2)H(2), wild-type Mo-nitrogenase showed a declining total electron flux, which is an overall measure of all products formed, as the NaCN concentration was increased from 1 to 5 mM, whereas the rates of both CH(4) and NH(3) production increased with increasing NaCN concentration. The NH(3) production rate exceeded the CH(4) production rate up to 5 mM NaCN, at which point they became equal. The excess NH(3) likely arises from the two-electron reduction of HCN to CH(2)=NH, some of which is released and hydrolyzed to HCHO plus NH(3). With added C(2)H(2), the rate of CH(4) production increased but only until it equaled that of NH(3) production, which remained unchanged. In addition, total electron flux was decreased even more at each NaCN concentration by C(2)H(2). The increased CH(4) production did not arise from the added C(2)H(2). The lowered total electron flux with C(2)H(2) present would decrease the affinity of the enzyme for HCN, making it a poorer competitor for the binding site. Thus, less CH(2)=NH would be displaced, more CH(2)=NH would undergo the full six-electron reduction, and the rate of CH(4) production would be enhanced. A second goal was to gain mechanistic insight into the roles of the amino acid residues in the alpha-subunit of the MoFe protein at positions alpha-191 and alpha-195 in substrate reduction. At 5 mM NaCN and in the presence of excess wild-type Fe protein, the specific activity for CH(4) production by the alpha-195(Asn), alpha-195(Gln), and alpha-191(Lys) MoFe proteins was 59%, 159%, and 6%, respectively, of that of wild type. For the alpha-195(Asn) MoFe protein, total electron flux decreased with increasing NaCN concentration like wild type. However, the rates of both CH(4) and NH(3) production were maximal at 1 mM NaCN, and they remained unequal even at 5 mM NaCN. With the alpha-195(Gln) MoFe protein, the rates of production of both CH(4) and NH(3) were equal at all NaCN concentrations, and total electron flux was hardly affected by changing the NaCN concentration. With the alpha-191(Lys) MoFe protein, the rates of both CH(4) and NH(3) production were very low, but the rate of NH(3) production was higher, and both rates slowly increased with increasing NaCN concentration. A hypothesis, which is based on the varying apparent affinities of the altered MoFe proteins for HCN and CN(-), is advanced to explain the higher rate of NH(3) production versus the rate of CH(4) production and the effect of increasing NaCN concentration on electron flux to products. A new method for CH(3)NH(2) quantification showed that all four MoFe proteins produced CH(3)NH(2). Added CO significantly inhibited both CH(4) and NH(3) production from HCN with all MoFe proteins except for the alpha-191(Lys) MoFe protein, which still manifested its very low rate of NH(3) production but without CH(4) production. All of the MoFe proteins responded differently to the addition of C(2)H(2) to reactions containing NaCN. With the alpha-195(Asn) MoFe protein, added C(2)H(2) decreased the rates of both CH(4) and NH(3) production, but the rate of NH(3) production decreased much less. C(2)H(2) also exacerbated the inhibition of electron flux. With the alpha-195(Gln) MoFe protein, added C(2)H(2) decreased the rates of both CH(4) and NH(3) production substantially and about equally. C(2)H(2) also eliminated the slight decrease in total electron flux that was caused by NaCN. Added C(2)H(2) hardly affected the alpha-191(Lys) MoFe protein. (ABSTRACT TRUNCA" @default.
