Hybrid fusions show that inter-monomer electron transfer robustly supports cytochrome bc1 function in vivo
Electronic connection between Qo and Qi quinone catalytic sites of dimeric cytochrome bc1 is a central feature of the energy-conserving Q cycle. While both the intra- and inter-monomer electron transfers were shown to connect the sites in the enzyme, mechanistic and physiological significance of the latter remains unclear. Here, using a series of mutated hybrid cytochrome bc1-like complexes, we...
متن کاملRapid electron transfer between monomers when the cytochrome bc1 complex dimer is reduced through center N.
We have obtained evidence for electron transfer between cytochrome b subunits of the yeast bc(1) complex dimer by analyzing pre-steady state reduction of cytochrome b in the presence of center P inhibitors. The kinetics and extent of cytochrome b reduced by quinol in the presence of variable concentrations of antimycin decreased non-linearly and could only be fitted to a model in which electron...
متن کاملStuttering equivalence is too slow!
Groote and Wijs recently described an algorithm for deciding stuttering equivalence and branching bisimulation equivalence, acclaimed to run in O (m log n) time. Unfortunately, the algorithm does not meet the acclaimed running time. In this paper, we present two counterexamples where the algorithms uses Ω (md) time. In order to analyse the problem we present pseudocode of the algorithm, and ind...
متن کاملChapter 25 Analysis of electron transfer and superoxide generation in the cytochrome bc1 complex.
During the electron transfer through the cytochrome bc(1) complex (ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase or complex III), protons are translocated across the membrane, and production of superoxide anion radicals (O(2)(*-)) is observed. The bc(1) complex is purified from broken mitochondrial preparation prepared from frozen heart muscles by repeated detergent solubilization and salt fractionatio...
متن کاملFormation of engineered intersubunit disulfide bond in cytochrome bc1 complex disrupts electron transfer activity in the complex.
Protein domain movement of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein has been speculated to play an essential role in the bifurcated oxidation of ubiquinol catalyzed by the cytochrome bc1 complex. To better understand the electron transfer mechanism of the bifurcated ubiquinol oxidation at Qp site, we fixed the head domain of ISP at the cyt c1 position by creating an intersubunit disulfide bond between tw...
