A 1H-NMR longitudinal relaxation study of the interaction between cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase. 1983

K E Falk, and J Angström

The interaction between the oxidized forms of cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) has been investigated by 1H-NMR longitudinal relaxation measurements. It is found that relaxation of methyl groups on the heme ring of cytochrome c markedly deviates from a simple exponential behavior in the presence of small amounts of cytochrome oxidase. A comparison with the relaxation behavior of cytochrome c modified by 4-carboxy-3,5-dinitrophenyl at Lys-13 shows that the oxidase induces a conformation in native cytochrome c that is closely related to that of the derivative. It is suggested that this change in conformation consists of a rupture of the salt bridge between Lys-13 and Glu-90 and a concomitant perturbation of the methionine ligand.

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.
