PG - 579-89 LID - 10.1016/j.bbabio.2011.12.012 [doi] AB - Among the X-ray structures of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), reported thus far, the highest resolution is 1.8A. CcO includes 13 different protein subunits, 7 species of phospholipids, 7 species of triglycerides, 4 redox-active metal sites (Cu(A), heme a (Fe(a)), Cu(B), heme a(3) (Fe(a3))) and 3 redox-inactive metal sites (Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Na(+)). The effects of various O(2) analogs on the X-ray structure suggest that O(2) molecules are transiently trapped at the Cu(B) site before binding to Fe(a3)(2+) to provide O(2)(-). This provides three possible electron transfer pathways from Cu(B), Fe(a3) and Tyr244 via a water molecule. These pathways facilitate non-sequential 3 electron reduction of the bound O(2)(-) to break the OO bond without releasing active oxygen species. Bovine heart CcO has a proton conducting pathway that includes a hydrogen-bond network and a water-channel which, in tandem, connect the positive side phase with the negative side phase. The hydrogen-bond network forms two additional hydrogen-bonds with the formyl and propionate groups of heme a. Thus, upon oxidation of heme a, the positive charge created on Fe(a) is readily delocalized to the heme peripheral groups to drive proton-transport through the hydrogen-bond network. A peptide bond in the hydrogen-bond network and a redox-coupled conformational change in the water channel are expected to effectively block reverse proton transfer through the H-pathway. These functions of the pathway have been confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis of bovine CcO expressed in HeLa cells. CI - Copyright A(c) 2011. Published by Elsevier B.V.
