PG - 71-78 LID - S0300-9084(18)30091-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biochi.2018.04.005 [doi] AB - Subunit I of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) from mitochondria and many bacteria contains a cation binding site (CBS) located at the outer positively charged aqueous phase not far from heme a. Binding of Ca(2+) with the CBS in bovine CcO inhibits activity of the enzyme 2-3 -fold [Vygodina, T., Kirichenko, A. & Konstantinov A.A. (2013) Direct Regulation of Cytochrome c Oxidase by Calcium Ions, PLoS One.8 e74436]. Here we show that binding of Ca(2+) at CBS of bovine CcO shifts E(m) of heme a to the positive by 15-20 mV. Na(+) ions that bind to the same site and compete with Ca(2+) do not affect E(m) of heme a and also prevent and reverse the effect of Ca(2+). No effect of Ca(2+) or EGTA is observed on E(m) of heme a with the wild type bacterial oxidases from R.sphaeroides or P.denitrificans that contain tightly-bound calcium at the site. In the D477A mutant CcO from P. denitrificans that binds Ca(2+) reversibly like the mitochondrial CcO, calcium shifts redox titration curve of heme a to the positive by approximately 35-50 mV that is in good agreement with the results of electrostatic calculations; however, as shown earlier, it does not inhibit CcO activity of the mutant enzyme. Therefore the data do not support the proposal that the inhibitory effect of Ca(2+) on CcO activity may be explained by the Ca(2+)-induced shift of E(m) of heme a. Rather, Ca(2+) retards electron transfer by inhibition of charge dislocation in the exit part of the proton channel H in mammalian CcO, that is absent in the bacterial oxidases.
