PG - 1045-1050 LID - S0005-2728(18)30131-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbabio.2018.05.015 [doi] AB - Time-resolved IR analyses for the protonation and polarity changes of carboxyl groups involved in proton pump enzymes under turnover conditions are indispensable for elucidation of their proton-pump mechanisms. We have developed a new time-resolved infrared facility by introducing a flow system for transferring highly concentrated and thus viscous protein solution to a thin (50 mum) flow cell equipped in a highly sensitive IR spectrometer constructed with the femtosecond mid-IR pulse laser with spectral width of 350 cm(-1) as an IR white light source equipped with multi-channel MCT detector. This facility equipped with O(2) supply system enables the sub-millisecond time scale infrared measurements of the O(2) reduction coupled with proton pumping by bovine cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) initiated by CO-flash photolysis in the COOH (1725-1770 cm(-1)) region with the accuracy of about 10 muO.D. under the background O.D. of 1. The facility identifies a band intensity change at ~1744 cm(-1) assignable to protonation of a carboxyl group coupled with a single electron transfer to the O(2) reduction center within 1 ms after initiation of the reaction. The results suggest that the facility detects protonation of a single carboxyl group included in large proteins like as CcO (210 kDa). The present facility sensitively identifies also polarity changes in COOH group by detecting shifts of the bands near 1750 cm(-1) and 1760 cm(-1), without significant intensity changes. These findings show the performance of this facility sufficiently high for providing crucial information for understanding the proton transferring mechanisms of protein carboxyl groups.
