Quantitative reevaluation of the redox active sites of crystalline bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase.

Approximately 30% of the iron contained in a bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase preparation was removed by crystallization, giving a molecular extinction coefficient 1.25-1.4 times higher than those reported thus far. Six electron equivalents provided by dithionite were required for complete reduction of the crystalline cytochrome c oxidase preparation. The fully reduced enzyme was oxidized with...

Functions of the hydrophilic channels in protonmotive cytochrome c oxidase.

The structures and functions of hydrophilic channels in electron-transferring membrane proteins are discussed. A distinction is made between proton channels that can conduct protons and dielectric channels that are non-conducting but can dielectrically polarize in response to the introduction of charge changes in buried functional centres. Functions of the K, D and H channels found in A1-type c...

COMMEMORATIVE LECTURE Reaction Mechanism of Bovine Heart Cytochrome Oxidase

As I mentioned at the awards ceremony a little while ago, the work for which I have received the Keio Med ical Award is not something that I have been able to accomplish alone; it has involved the cooperation of many scientists. Dr. Tsukihara is Professor of the Insti tute for Protein Research, Osaka University, and spe cializes in X-ray crystallography. Dr. Kitagawa and Dr. Ogura, who is here ...

Redox-Controlled Proton Gating in Bovine Cytochrome c Oxidase

Cytochrome c oxidase is the terminal enzyme in the electron transfer chain of essentially all organisms that utilize oxygen to generate energy. It reduces oxygen to water and harnesses the energy to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane in prokaryotes. The mechanism by which proton pumping is coupled to the oxygen reduction reaction remains unresol...

Redox-coupled crystal structural changes in bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase.

Crystal structures of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase in the fully oxidized, fully reduced, azide-bound, and carbon monoxide-bound states were determined at 2.30, 2.35, 2.9, and 2.8 angstrom resolution, respectively. An aspartate residue apart from the O2 reduction site exchanges its effective accessibility to the matrix aqueous phase for one to the cytosolic phase concomitantly with a signif...
