Cytochrome c oxidase: decay of the primary oxygen intermediate involves direct electron transfer from cytochrome a.
The decay of the primary intermediate generated in the reaction of oxygen with cytochrome c oxidase is nearly one order of magnitude faster in the fully reduced form of the enzyme than it is in the mixed valence form. To account for this observation, we propose a model describing the early molecular events in the reaction. In this model the decay of the primary Fe-O2 intermediate in the fully r...
متن کاملThe Cytochrome C-cytochrome Oxidase Complex
In the preceding paper the oxidation of substrates by “indophenol oxidase” was demonstrated to be a joint action of cytochrome and cytochrome oxidase. It was further shown that with a given amount of oxidase the velocity of hydroquinone oxidation reached a maximum as the amount of added cytochrome was increased. The latter fact immediately suggested the probability that the rapid aerobic oxidat...
متن کاملCytochrome c-mediated electron transfer between ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome c oxidase. Kinetic evidence for a mobile cytochrome c pool.
Ubiquinol oxidase has been reconstituted from ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase (Complex III), cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV). The steady-state level of reduction of cytochrome c by ubiquinol-2 varies with the molar ratios of the complexes and with the presence of antimycin in a way that can be quantitatively accounted for by a model in which cytochrome c acts as a freely dif...
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 کاملThe cytochrome c binding site on cytochrome c oxidase.
Cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondria respiratory chain catalysing electron transfer from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen [ 1,2]. The molecular mechanism of this process is still not understood. At present, little is known about such important structural features as the position of the prosthetic groups or the location and characteristics of the cytochrom...
