Cytochrome 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 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 کاملKinetic gating of the proton pump in cytochrome c oxidase.
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal enzyme of the respiratory chain, reduces oxygen to water and uses the released energy to pump protons across a membrane. Here, we use kinetic master equations to explore the energetic and kinetic control of proton pumping in CcO. We construct models consistent with thermodynamic principles, the structure of CcO, experimentally known proton affinities, an...
متن کاملKinetic studies on the reaction between cytochrome c oxidase and ferrocytochrome c.
In stopped-flow experiments in which oxidized cytochrome c oxidase was mixed with ferrocytochrome c in the presence of a range of oxygen concentrations and in the absence and presence of cyanide, a fast phase, reflecting a rapid approach to an equilibrium, was observed. Within this phase, one or two molecules of ferrocytochrome were oxidized per haem group of cytochrome a, depending on the conc...
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...
