Redox-driven proton pumping by heme-copper oxidases.
One of the key problems of molecular bioenergetics is the understanding of the function of redox-driven proton pumps on a molecular level. One such class of proton pumps are the heme-copper oxidases. These enzymes are integral membrane proteins in which proton translocation across the membrane is driven by electron transfer from a low-potential donor, such as, e.g. cytochrome c, to a high-poten...
متن کاملCrystallographic structure of xanthorhodopsin, the light-driven proton pump with a dual chromophore.
Homologous to bacteriorhodopsin and even more to proteorhodopsin, xanthorhodopsin is a light-driven proton pump that, in addition to retinal, contains a noncovalently bound carotenoid with a function of a light-harvesting antenna. We determined the structure of this eubacterial membrane protein-carotenoid complex by X-ray diffraction, to 1.9-A resolution. Although it contains 7 transmembrane he...
متن کاملThe Higher Plant Plastid Complex I (NDH) is a Reversible Proton Pump that increases ATP production by Cyclic Electron Flow Around Photosystem I
Cyclic electron flow around photosystem I (CEF) is critical for balancing the photosynthetic energy budget of the chloroplast, by generating ATP without net production of NADPH. We demonstrate that the chloroplast NADPH dehydrogenase complex (NDH), a homolog to respiratory Complex I, pumps approximately two protons from the chloroplast stroma to the lumen per electron transferred from ferredoxi...
متن کاملFörster mechanism of electron-driven proton pumps.
We examine a simple model of proton pumping through the inner membrane of mitochondria in the living cell. We demonstrate that the pumping process can be described using approaches of condensed matter physics. In the framework of this model, we show that the resonant Förster-type energy exchange due to electron-proton Coulomb interaction can provide a unidirectional flow of protons against an e...
متن کاملMimicking bacterial photosynthesis
Photosynthesis in bacteria involves absorption of light by antenna chromophores and transfer of excitation to reaction centers, which convert the excitation energy to electrochemical potential energy in the form of transmembrane charge separation. A proton pump uses this stored energy to generate proton motive force across the membrane, which in turn is used to synthesize adenosine triphosphate...
