Assembly of cytochrome c oxidase: what can we learn from patients with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency?
Cytochrome c oxidase is an intricate metalloprotein that transfers electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen in the last step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It uses the free energy of this reaction to sustain a transmembrane electrochemical gradient of protons. Site-directed mutagenesis studies of bacterial terminal oxidases and the recent availability of refined crystal structures of the ...
متن کاملHeme is necessary for the accumulation and assembly of cytochrome c oxidase subunits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The presence of cytochrome c oxidase subunits and the association of these subunits with each other was studied in a heme-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant. This mutant had been isolated by Gollub et al. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 2846-2854) and had been shown lack delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase. When grown in the absence of heme or heme precursors, the mutant is respiration-defic...
متن کاملEvolution of the nuclear-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunits in vertebrates.
Vertebrate mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX) possesses 10 nuclear-encoded subunits. Six subunits have paralogs in mammals, but the origins and distribution of isoforms among vertebrates have not been analyzed. We used Bayesian phylogenetic analysis to interpret the origins of each subunit, inferring the roles of gene and genome duplications. The paralogous ancestries of five genes were i...
متن کاملModular assembly of yeast cytochrome oxidase
Previous studies of yeast cytochrome oxidase (COX) biogenesis identified Cox1p, one of the three mitochondrially encoded core subunits, in two high-molecular weight complexes combined with regulatory/assembly factors essential for expression of this subunit. In the present study we use pulse-chase labeling experiments in conjunction with isolated mitochondria to identify new Cox1p intermediates...
متن کاملIn vitro assembly of L-asparaginase subunits.
The reassociation of denatured subunits of L-asparaginase from Escherichia coli B was examined after dilution into buffer and into dilute urea solution. By gradually increasing the urea content of the reassociation mixture, we have attempted to elucidate the steps through which the denatured polypeptide reassembles into the catalytically active tetramer. Refolding of the chain is complete withi...
