We have prepared three different cytochrome c derivatives, each containing a single specifically trifluoroacetylated lysine at residues 13, 55, and 99, respectively. The only modification that affected cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) activity was that of lysine-13 at the top of the heme crevice. Trifluoroacetylation of lysine-13 increased the apparent Michaelis constant fivefold compared to that of native cytochrome c, but did not affect the maximum velocity. Trifluoroacetylation of lysine-55 at the left side of the cytochrome c molecule did not affect cytochrome oxidase activity in any way, nor did trifluoroacetylation of lysine-99 at the rear of the cytochrome c molecule. This indicates that the cytochrome oxidase binding site on cytochrome c involved only the front of the cytochrome c molecule and those lysines immediately surrounding the heme crevice.
