The structural genes of cytochrome-c oxidase in Bacillus subtilis have been isolated and sequenced. Five genes, ctaB-F, are closely spaced. ctaC, ctaD, ctaE and ctaF are the genes for subunits II, I, III and IVB, respectively, ctaB, which may encode an assembly factor, is separated and upstream from the others. In comparison to its mitochondrial counterparts, subunit I has an extended C-terminus with two additional transmembrane segments, whereas subunit III has lost two such segments from its N-terminus. The C-terminal extension in subunit II is a covalent cytochrome-c domain, previously characterized only in the thermophilic oxidases. Subunit IVB, a small hydrophobic protein, is a novel subunit. These predictions suggest that the B. subtilis cytochrome-c oxidase is structurally more related to the four-subunit Escherichia coli cytochrome-bo complex than, for instance, to the Paracoccus denitrificans enzyme. Cytochrome aa3, which was previously isolated from B. subtilis [de Vrij, W., Azzi, A. & Konings, W. N. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 131, 97-103] is not encoded by the ctaC-F genes; thus, there seems to be two different cytochrome-aa3-type oxidases in this Gram-positive bacterium.

D003576 Electron Transport Complex IV A multisubunit enzyme complex containing CYTOCHROME A GROUP; CYTOCHROME A3; two copper atoms; and 13 different protein subunits. It is the terminal oxidase complex of the RESPIRATORY CHAIN and collects electrons that are transferred from the reduced CYTOCHROME C GROUP and donates them to molecular OXYGEN, which is then reduced to water. The redox reaction is simultaneously coupled to the transport of PROTONS across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
