EPR signals of cytochrome b558 purified from porcine neutrophils.
Cytochrome b558 of pig blood neutrophils was partially purified, and its EPR spectra were measured. The cytochrome b558 was solubilized from membranes with the detergent n-heptyl-beta-thioglucoside and purified by DEAE-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose chromatographies. The small and large subunits of cytochrome b558 were detected on gel by immunoblotting. A solution of the purified, undenatured cytochrome b558 at 85-108 microM concentration was obtained. The concentrated cytochrome b558 showed an EPR signal at a g value of 3.26 with a bandwidth of 100 G at 10 K. Addition of 2 mM KCN had no effect on the low spin signal at g = 3.26 but caused disappearance of a minor high spin signal. The cyanide-insensitive signal at g = 3.26 disappeared completely on reduction with Na2S2O4. These results suggest that the g = 3.26 signal is characteristic of the low spin heme in cytochrome b558 of neutrophils.
