Abstract
The activity of reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase from bovine heart but not from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is allosterically inhibited by intraliposomal ATP, which binds to subunit IV. The activity of cytochrome c oxidase of wild-type yeast and of a subunit VIa-deleted yeast mutant, measured with Tween 20-solubilized mitochondria in the presence of an ATP-regenerating system, was also allosterically inhibited by ATP, indicating the general validity of this mechanism of "respiratory control" in eucaryotic cytochrome c oxidases (Arnold and Kadenbach, Eur. J. Biochem. (1997) 249, 350-354). Deletion of subunit VIa changes the biphysic into monophysic kinetics of the yeast enzyme in the presence of ADP. A tenfold higher amount of horse heart cytochrome c, as compared to yeast cytochrome c, was required to relieve the ATP inhibition of the yeast enzyme.Entities:
