Pseudomonas cytochrome C-551 peroxidase. A purification procedure and study of CO-binding kinetics

N Foote et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

A procedure is described for the purification of cytochrome c peroxidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa involving extraction by sonication, followed by acid precipitation and chromatography on only two types of gel. The final preparation had a purity ratio A407/A280 of 4.2, and was found to be essentially pure by isoelectric focusing. The enzyme was shown to be unstable during degassing under vacuum except in the presence of detergent. The kinetics of CO binding to dithionite-reduced peroxidase were studied with stopped-flow and flash-photolysis techniques, and the results obtained between pH 5 and 7 suggest the existence of two forms of dithionite-reduced enzyme in slow equilibrium.
