The kinetics of the reaction of chloroperoxidase with peroxynitrite was studied under neutral and acidic pH by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Chloroperoxidase catalyzed peroxynitrite decay with the rate constant, k(c.) increasing with decreasing pH. The values of k(c.) obtained at pH 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 were equal to: (1.96 +/- 0.03) x 10(6), (1.63 +/- 0.04) x 10(6) and (0.71 +/- 0.01) x 10(6) M-1 s(-1), respectively. Chloroperoxidase was converted to compound 11 by peroxynitrite with pH-dependent rate constants: (12.3 +/- 0.4) x 10(6) and (3.8 +/- 0.3) x 10(6) M-1 s(-1) at pH 5.1 and 7.1, respectively. After most of peroxynitrite had disappeared, the conversion of compound II into the ferric form of chloroperoxidase was observed. The recovery of the native enzyme was completed within 1 s and 5 s at pH 5.1 and 7.1, respectively. The possible reaction mechanisms of the catalytic decomposition of peroxynitrite by chloroperoxidase are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
