Complexes or super complexes: inhibitor titrations show that electron transfer in chromatophores from Rhodobacter sphaeroides involves a dimeric UQH2:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase, and is delocalized.

Catalytically-relevant electron transfer between two hemes bL in the hybrid cytochrome bc1-like complex containing a fusion of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and capsulatus cytochromes b
To address mechanistic questions about the functioning of dimeric cytochrome bc1 new genetic approaches have recently been developed. They were specifically designed to enable construction of asymmetrically-mutated variants suitable for functional studies. One approach exploited a fusion of two cytochromes b that replaced the separate subunits in the dimer. The fusion protein, built from two co...
متن کاملAspartate-187 of cytochrome b is not needed for DCCD inhibition of ubiquinol: cytochrome c oxidoreductase in Rhodobacter sphaeroides chromatophores.
N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) has been reported to inhibit steady-state proton translocation by cytochrome bc(1) and b(6)f complexes without significantly altering the rate of electron transport, a process referred to as decoupling. In chromatophores of the purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, this has been associated with the specific labeling of a surface-exposed aspartate-187 of ...
متن کاملRhodobacter sphaeroides spd mutations allow cytochrome c2-independent photosynthetic growth.
In Rhodobacter sphaeroides, cytochrome c2 (cyt c2) is a periplasmic redox protein required for photosynthetic electron transfer. cyt c2-deficient mutants created by replacing the gene encoding the apoprotein for cyt c2 (cycA) with a kanamycin resistance cartridge are photosynthetically incompetent. Spontaneous mutations that suppress this photosynthesis deficiency (spd mutants) arise at a frequ...
متن کاملStructural model and excitonic properties of the dimeric RC-LH1-PufX complex from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
The light-harvesting apparatus of the purple bacterial photosynthetic unit consists of a pool of peripheral light-harvesting complexes that transfer excitation energy to a reaction center (RC) via the surrounding pigment-protein complex LH1. Recent electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy studies have revealed that RC-LH1 units of Rhodobacter sphaeroides form membrane-bending dimeric com...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of photosynthetic membranes in Rhodobacter sphaeroides: the role of PufX.
The effects of the PufX polypeptide on membrane architecture were investigated by comparing the composition and structures of photosynthetic membranes from PufX+ and PufX- strains of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We show that this single polypeptide profoundly affects membrane morphology, leading to highly elongated cells containing extended tubular membranes. Purified tubular membranes contain heli...
