In MtrF, an outer-membrane multiheme cytochrome, the 10 heme groups are arranged
in heme binding domains II and IV along the pseudo-C(2) axis, forming the
electron transfer (ET) pathways. Previous reports based on molecular dynamics
simulations showed that the redox potential (E(m)) values for the heme pairs
located in symmetrical positions in domains II and IV were similar, forming
bidirectional ET pathways [Breuer M, Zarzycki P, Blumberger J, Rosso KM (2012) J
Am Chem Soc 134(24):9868-9871]. Here, we present the E(m) values of the 10 hemes
in MtrF, solving the linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation and considering the
protonation states of all titratable residues and heme propionic groups. In
contrast to previous studies, the E(m) values indicated that the ET is more
likely to be downhill from domain IV to II because of localization of acidic
residues in domain IV. Reduction of hemes in MtrF lowered the E(m) values,
resulting in switching to alternative downhill ET pathways that extended to the
flavin binding sites. These findings present an explanation of how MtrF serves as
an electron donor to extracellular substrates.
