Abstract
Myoglobin (Mb), generally taken as the molecular model of monomeric globular heme-proteins, is devoted: (i) to act as an intracellular oxygen reservoir, (ii) to transport oxygen from the sarcolemma to the mitochondria of vertebrate heart and red muscle cells, and (iii) to act as a scavenger of nitrogen and oxygen reactive species protecting mitochondrial respiration. Here, the first evidence of ·NO inhibition of ferric Mb- (Mb(III)) mediated detoxification of peroxynitrite is reported, at pH 7.2 and 20.0 °C. ·NO binds to Mb(III) with a simple equilibrium; the value of the second-order rate constant for Mb(III) nitrosylation (i.e., ·NOkon) is (6.8 ± 0.7) × 104 M−1 s−1 and the value of the first-order rate constant for Mb(III)-NO denitrosylation (i.e., ·NOkoff) is 3.1 ± 0.3 s−1. The calculated value of the dissociation equilibrium constant for Mb(III)-NO complex formation (i.e., ·NOkoff/·NOkon = (4.6 ± 0.7) × 10−5 M) is virtually the same as that directly measured (i.e., ·NOK = (3.8 ± 0.5) × 10−5 M). In the absence of ·NO, Mb(III) catalyzes the conversion of peroxynitrite to NO3−, the value of the second-order rate constant (i.e., Pkon) being (1.9 ± 0.2) × 104 M−1 s−1. However, in the presence of ·NO, Mb(III)-mediated detoxification of peroxynitrite is only partially inhibited, underlying the possibility that also Mb(III)-NO is able to catalyze the peroxynitrite isomerization, though with a reduced rate (Pkon* = (2.8 ± 0.3) × 103 M−1 s−1). These data expand the multiple roles of ·NO in modulating heme-protein actions, envisaging a delicate balancing between peroxynitrite and ·NO, which is modulated through the relative amount of Mb(III) and Mb(III)-NO.
