Protein-ligand interactions in lumazine protein and in Desulfovibrio flavodoxins from resonance coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra

The resonance coherent anti-Stokes Raman technique was used to obtain vibrational spectra of flavin in flavodoxins from Desulfovibrio gigas and Desulfovibrio vulgaris and of the simpler 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine chromophore in the blue fluorescence lumazine protein from the bioluminescent bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum. In the region examined, 1100-1700 cm-1, the Raman spectrum of the lumazine is less crowded than that of the flavin and this facilitates assignment of observed frequencies to particular vibrational modes. Certain modes are not affected by chromophore binding to the protein, but others are changed in frequency or intensity in a way that can be rationalized by expected interactions of the chromophore with the amino acid residues of the binding site. For example, a tentative assignment of change in hydrogen bonding at N(5) is suggested as the cause of the frequency shift for the chromophore in both flavodoxins (free-bound, 1582-1572 cm-1) and for C(4)=O in glucose oxidase (1359-1364 cm-1) and lumazine protein (1359-1362 cm-1). Shifts of the C(2)-N(3) mode in D2O may arise from hydrogen-bonding changes at C(2)=O in lumazine protein (1284-1291 cm-1), flavodoxin (1300-1280 cm-1), and glucose oxidase (1297-1287 cm-1). Bonding at N(3)-H may be the origin of changes in the frequency or intensity of the amide III mode in riboflavin binding protein and glucose oxidase. A stacking interaction is suggested for the change in a pyrimidine ring mode in FAD (1508 cm-1) since this mode is found at 1504 cm-1 in 30% Me2SO/H2O, where the adenine and pyrimidine are unstacked. The results clearly indicate different interactions in the binding sites of those proteins studied to date.
