Binding of oxygen and carbon monoxide to a heme-regulated phosphodiesterase from Escherichia coli. Kinetics and infrared spectra of the full-length wild-type enzyme, isolated PAS domain, and Met-95 mutants.

Abstract excerpt

The heme-regulated phosphodiesterase, Ec DOS, is a redox sensor that uses the heme in its PAS domain to regulate catalysis. The rate of O(2) association (k(on)) with full-length Ec DOS is extremely slow at 0.0019 microM(-1) s(-1), compared with >9.5 microM(-1) s(-1) for 6-coordinated globin-type hemoproteins, as determined by the stopped-flow method. This rate is dramatically increased (up to 16-fold) in the...
