Binding of cytochrome c to cytochrome c oxidase induces a conformational change in both proteins as well as a change of the electronic structure of the heme of cytochrome c, indicating an altered heme c-protein interaction. This follows from the observation that the induced circular dichroism (CD) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of the oxidase-cytochrome c complex in the Soret region differ from the summed spectra of oxidase plus cytochrome c. Spectral changes occur in the complex composed of either the two ferric or the two ferrous hemoproteins. The difference CD and MCD signals saturate at a ratio of 1 heme c per heme aa3. The difference spectra are specific to the cognate complex. The results are interpreted to reflect a direct relationship between the recognition/binding step and the electron-transfer reaction. The conformational rearrangement induced in cytochrome c by cytochrome c oxidase consists of a structural rearrangement of the heme environment and possibly a change of the geometry of the heme iron-methionine-80 sulfur axial bond. This rearrangement may decrease the reorganizational free energy of electron transfer by adjusting the heme c geometry to a state between that of ferri- and ferrocytochrome c.
