Abstract:
Mycobacterium leprae truncated hemoglobin O (trHbO) protects from nitrosative stress and sustains mycobacterial respiration. Here, kinetics of M. leprae trHbO(II)-NO denitrosylation and of O(2)-mediated oxidation of M. leprae trHbO(II)-NO are reported. Values of the first-order rate constant for *NO dissociation from M. leprae trHbO(II)-NO (k(off)) and of the first-order rate constant for O(2)-mediated oxidation of M. leprae trHbO(II)-NO (h) are 1.3 x 10(-4) s(-1) and 1.2 x 10(-4) s(-1), respectively. The coincidence of values of k(off) and h suggests that O(2)-mediated oxidation of M. leprae trHbO(II)-NO occurs with a reaction mechanism in which *NO, that is initially bound to heme(II), is displaced by O(2) but may stay trapped in a protein cavity(ies) close to heme(II). Next, M. leprae trHbO(II)-O(2) reacts with *NO giving the transient Fe(III)-OONO species preceding the formation of the final product M. leprae trHbO(III). *NO dissociation from heme(II)-NO represents the rate limiting step for O(2)-mediated oxidation of M. leprae trHbO(II)-NO.
