Proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies on the iodide binding by horseradish peroxidase

J Sakurada, S Takahashi and T Hosoya

Binding of an iodide ion to horseradish peroxidase was studied by following the hyperfine-shifted proton nuclear magnetic resonance signals of the enzyme. For the enzyme in an iodide-free solution, the spectra of hyperfine-shifted methyl region were only slightly affected by varying pH. In the presence of iodide (200 mM), however, both chemical shifts and line widths of the heme peripheral 1- and 8-methyl proton signals were markedly affected by the pH change from 7 to 4 and broadened at pH 4. From the change in peak heights of these signals at various concentrations of iodide, the dissociation constant of the iodide to the enzyme was calculated to be about 100 mM at pH 4.0. The peak derived from the proximal histidyl imidazole N epsilon-H proton was not perturbed by the addition of 200 mM iodide at pH 4.0 and 7.1. The rate of oxidation of iodide with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by the enzyme was increased with decreasing pH, indicating the participation of an ionizable group with the pKa value of 4.0. Optical difference spectrum studies showed that iodide exerts no effect both at pH 4.0 and 7.4 on the binding affinity of resorcinol which is associated with the enzyme in the vicinity of the heme peripheral 8-CH3 group. These results suggest that an iodide ion binds to the enzyme at almost equal distance from the heme peripheral 1- and 8-methyl groups at the distal side of the heme and that the interaction becomes stronger in acidic medium with protonation of the ionizable group with the pKa value of 4.0.
