The 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...
متن کاملOn the nature of cysteine coordination to CuA in cytochrome c oxidase.
The resolution of new features in the 1H electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectrum of the oxidized CuA site in beef heart cytochrome c oxidase is presented. In a previous study, we assigned resonances in the CuA ENDOR spectrum to hyperfine interactions of methylene protons on one or two cysteine ligands to CuA (Stevens, T.H., Martin, C.T., Wang, H., Brudvig, G.W., Scholes, C.P., and Ch...
متن کاملSoluble 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 کاملElectron spin relaxation of CuA and cytochrome a in cytochrome c oxidase. Comparison to heme, copper, and sulfur radical complexes.
The method of continuous saturation has been used to measure the electron spin relaxation parameter T1T2 at temperatures between 10 and 50 K for a variety of S = 1/2 species including: CuA and cytochrome a of cytochrome c oxidase, the type 1 copper in several blue copper proteins, the type 2 copper in laccase, inorganic Cu(II) complexes, sulfur radicals, and low spin heme proteins. The temperat...
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...
