Soluble CuA domain of cyanobacterial cytochrome c oxidase.
The genomes of several cyanobacteria show the existence of gene clusters encoding subunits I, II, and III of aa(3)-type cytochrome c oxidase. The enzyme occurs on both plasma and thylakoid membranes of these oxygenic phototrophic prokaryotes. Here we report the expression and purification of a truncated subunit II copper A (Cu(A)) domain (i.e. the electron entry and donor binding site) of cytoc...
متن کاملpH-induced conformational transition in the soluble CuA domain of Paracoccus denitrificans cytochrome oxidase.
The pH-induced conformational transition in the CuA domain of subunit II of cytochrome oxidase of Paracoccus denitrificans (PdII) has been investigated using various spectroscopic and stopped-flow kinetic methods. UV-visible absorption and circular dichroism studies showed that an increase in pH from 6 to 10 leads to a conformation change with pK(a) = 8.2 associated with the CuA site of the pro...
متن کاملSolubilized cytochrome c oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans is a monomer.
Cytochrome c oxidase purified from the bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans was analyzed by analytical ultracentrifugation. In the detergent octyltetra/pentaoxyethylene (C8E45), the isolated enzyme exhibits a molecular weight of 79,000 to 84,000. The detergent-solubilized enzyme is thus a monomer which contains one copy of each of the two subunits.
متن کاملTurnover of cytochrome c oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans.
The heme aa3 type cytochrome oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans incorporated into vesicles with phospholipid reacts during turnover much as the oxidase from mitochondria does. The spectrophotometric changes observed at various wavelengths are closely similar, and the rate is about one-half of that for beef heart oxidase under the same conditions. The rate of appearance of oxidized cytochrome...
متن کاملThe nature of CuA in cytochrome c oxidase.
Kroneck et al. [(1988) FEBS Lett. 242, 70-74] have recently suggested, on the basis of a comparison with the EPR properties of nitrous oxide reductase, that cytochrome c oxidase contains a mixed-valence binuclear copper site, and that this is responsible for the EPR spectrum generally ascribed to CuA. Here we question this hypothesis in view of a multitude of analytical and spectroscopic data a...
