چکیده

Attempts to rationalize the kinetics of cytochrome c oxidation catalyzed by solubilized mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) have been based on assumptions of productive complex formation (Michaelis-Menten approach). However, the range of substrate concentrations used has not, in general, been sufficient to establish a general rate equation. Data adequate to derive such a rate expression are presented, as well as a method for estimation of constants which appear in the rate law deduced and reported herein. It is shown that either of two types of mechanisms, one assuming productive complex formation, as opposed to the other postulating dead-end complex formation, accurately predict the rate equation as deduced from experiment.

Single catalytic site model for the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase.

A single catalytic site model is proposed to account for the multiphasic kinetics of oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by cytochrome c oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1). This model involves nonproductive binding of substrate to sites near the catalytic site on cytochrome c oxidase for cytochrome c, decreasing the binding constant for cytochrome c at the catalytic site. ...

Oxidation and reduction of soluble cytochrome c by membrane-bound oxidase and reductase systems.

The kinetics of the reduction of soluble ferricytochrome c by the membrane-bound succinate-cytochrome c reductase system on fragments of inner mitochondrial membrane has been studied spectrophotometrically for comparison with the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by the membrane-bound oxidase. The time course of the reduction is composed of a part proceeding at constant rate (zero order part), whe...

Comparison of Mitochondrial-Related Transcriptional Levels of mitochondrial transcription factor A, Nuclear respiratory factor 1 and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 Genes in Single Human Oocytes at Various Stages of the Oocyte Maturation

Background: The aim of the current study was to assess the mRNA levels of two mitochondria-related genes, including nuclear-encoded NRF1 (nuclear respiratory factor 1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and mitochondrial-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (MT-CO1) genes in various stages of the human oocyte maturation. Methods: Oocytes were obtained from nine infertile women wit...

Studies on Cytochrome Oxidase. Vi. Kinetics of the Aerobic Oxidation of Ferrocytochrome C by Cytochrome Oxidase.

The rate of reaction can be determined by measuring the rate of either oxygen consumption or ferrocytochrome c oxidation. When the rate of oxygen consumption is measured either manometrically or polarographically, a mixture of a limited amount of cytochrome c and an excess of reducing agent, instead of excess ferrocytochrome c, is used as an electron donor system. In this case the true electron...

Could CuB be the site of redox linkage in cytochrome c oxidase?

This paper explores the proton pumping function of cytochrome c oxidase [ferrocytochrome-c:oxygen oxidoreductase (EC 1.9.3.1)] based upon redox linkage at the "high-potential" CuB center. A model is proposed that is derived from a redox-linked ligand exchange mechanism previously described for the CuA site. Qualitative analysis of this mechanism indicates that such a mechanism is feasible. Howe...
