Factors controlling metal-ion selectivity in the binding sites of calcium-binding proteins. The metal-binding properties of amide donors. A crystallographic and thermodynamic study
The metal-ion complexing properties of the ligand EDTAM (ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetamide) are investigated as a model for the role of amide oxygen donors in the binding sites of Ca-binding proteins. The structures of the complexes [Ca(EDTAM)NO3]NO3 (1), [La(EDTAM)(H2O)(4)](NO3)(3)center dot H2O (2), and [Cd(EDTAM)(NO3)]NO3 (3) are reported: 1 monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 10.853(2) angstrom, b = 12.893(3) angstrom, c = 13.407(3) angstrom, beta = 103.28(3)degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.0281; 2 triclinic, P1, a = 8.695(2) angstrom, b = 9.960(2) angstrom, c = 16.136(3) angstrom, alpha = 95.57(3)degrees, beta = 94.84(3)degrees, gamma = 98.72(3)degrees, Z = 2, R = 0.0394; 3 monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 10.767(2) angstrom, b = 12.952(2) angstrom, c = 13.273(2) angstrom, beta = 103.572(3)degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.0167. Compounds 1 and 3 are isostructural, and the EDTAM binds to the metal ion through its two N-donors and four O-donors from the amide groups. Ca(II) in 1 is 8-coordinate with a chelating NO3- group, while Cd(II) in 3 may possibly be 7-coordinate, with an asymmetrically coordinated NCl3- that is best regarded as unidentate. The La(III) in 2 is coordinated to the EDTAM in a manner similar to that of 1 and 3, but it is 10-coordinate with four water molecules coordinated to the La(III). The formation constants (log K-1) for complexes of a variety of metal ions with EDTAM are reported in 0.1 M NaNO3 at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. These are compared to the log K, values for en (ethylenediamine) and THPED (N, N, N', N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)-ethylenediamine). For large metal ions, such as Ca2+ or La3+, log K-1 increases strongly when the four acetamide groups are added to en to give EDTAM, whereas for a small metal ion, such as Mg2+, this increase is small. The log K-1 values for EDTAM compared to THPED suggest that the amide oxygen is a much stronger base than the alcoholic oxygen. Structures of binding sites in 40 Ca-binding proteins are examined. It is shown that the Ca-O=C bond angles involving coordinated amides in these sites are large, commonly being in the 150-180 degrees range. This is discussed in terms of the idea that for purely ionic bonding the M-O=C bond angle will approach 1800, while for covalent bonding the angle should be closer to 120 degrees. How this fact might be used by the proteins to control selectivity for different metal ions is discussed.
