The combination of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), near-infrared magnetic circular dichroism (NIR-MCD) and resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopies at cryogenic temperatures has been used to identify the axial heme ligation of the low spin cytochrome b558 component of NADPH oxidase from porcine blood neutrophils. The EPR and NIR-MCD results indicate the presence of two distinct forms in frozen solution; one with a low field g-value at 3.23 and porphyrin(pi)-to-Fe(III) charge transfer maximum at 1660 nm and the other a low field g-value at 3.00 and porphyrin(pi)-to-Fe(III) charge transfer maximum at 1510 nm. On the basis of these properties and the RR studies, both are attributed to forms of cytochrome b558 with bis-histidine axial ligation. The origin of the observed heterogeneity, the location and identity of the specific histidines involved in ligating the heme, and the role of the heme prosthetic group in O2- production are discussed in light of these results.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
