The biometric and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence analysis of syngnathus abaster (Teleostei: Syngnathidae) in Caspian sea
The black-striped pipefish, Syngnathus abaster, is a species of the Syngnathidae family. This study provides data on the morphometric, meristic and genetic structuring of the Caspian Sea pipefish, Syngnathus abaster. Eight morphometric characteristics based on total length and five morphometric characteristics based on standard length were analyzed. A total of 50 specimens were collected in bra...
متن کاملDynamics of electron transfer pathways in cytochrome C oxidase.
Cytochrome c oxidase mediates the final step of electron transfer reactions in the respiratory chain, catalyzing the transfer between cytochrome c and the molecular oxygen and concomitantly pumping protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. We investigate the electron transfer reactions in cytochrome c oxidase, particularly the control of the effective electronic coupling by the nuclear t...
متن کاملNMR basis for interprotein electron transfer gating between cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase.
The final interprotein electron transfer (ET) in the mammalian respiratory chain, from cytochrome c (Cyt c) to cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is investigated by (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectral analysis. The chemical shift perturbation in isotope-labeled Cyt c induced by addition of unlabeled CcO indicates that the hydrophobic heme periphery and adjacent hydrophobic amino ...
متن کاملIsolation and sequence of the structural gene for cytochrome c oxidase subunit VI from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Using synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleic acid probes we have identified and isolated COX6, the structural gene for subunit VI of cytochrome c oxidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The nucleotide sequence of COX6 predicts an amino acid sequence, for the mature subunit VI polypeptide, which is in perfect agreement with that determined previously. The nucleotide sequence of COX6 also predicts that s...
متن کاملProton uptake controls electron transfer in cytochrome c oxidase.
In cytochrome c oxidase, a requirement for proton pumping is a tight coupling between electron and proton transfer, which could be accomplished if internal electron-transfer rates were controlled by uptake of protons. During reaction of the fully reduced enzyme with oxygen, concomitant with the "peroxy" to "oxoferryl" transition, internal transfer of the fourth electron from CuA to heme a has t...
