PG - 23882-23894 AB - Bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) pumps four proton equivalents per catalytic cycle through the H-pathway, a proton-conducting pathway, which includes a hydrogen bond network and a water channel operating in tandem. Protons are transferred by H(3)O(+) through the water channel from the N-side into the hydrogen bond network, where they are pumped to the P-side by electrostatic repulsion between protons and net positive charges created at heme a as a result of electron donation to O(2) bound to heme a(3) To block backward proton movement, the water channel remains closed after O(2) binding until the sequential four-proton pumping process is complete. Thus, the hydrogen bond network must collect four proton equivalents before O(2) binding. However, a region with the capacity to accept four proton equivalents was not discernable in the x-ray structures of the hydrogen bond network. The present x-ray structures of oxidized/reduced bovine CcO are improved from 1.8/1.9 to 1.5/1.6 A resolution, increasing the structural information by 1.7/1.6 times and revealing that a large water cluster, which includes a Mg(2+) ion, is linked to the H-pathway. The cluster contains enough proton acceptor groups to retain four proton equivalents. The redox-coupled x-ray structural changes in Glu(198), which bridges the Mg(2+) and Cu(A) (the initial electron acceptor from cytochrome c) sites, suggest that the Cu(A)-Glu(198)-Mg(2+) system drives redox-coupled transfer of protons pooled in the water cluster to the H-pathway. Thus, these x-ray structures indicate that the Mg(2+)-containing water cluster is the crucial structural element providing the effective proton pumping in bovine CcO.
