Cytochrome c oxidase from bovine heart contains seven high-affinity binding sites for ATP or ADP and three additional only for ADP. One binding site for ATP or ADP, located at the matrix-oriented domain of the heart-type subunit VIaH, increases the H+/e- stoichiometry of the enzyme from heart or skeletal muscle from 0.5 to 1.0 when bound ATP is exchanged by ADP. Two further binding sites for ATP or ADP, located at the cytosolic and the matrix domain of subunit IV, increases the K(M) for cytochrome c and inhibit the respiratory activity at high ATP/ADP ratios, respectively. We propose that thermogenesis in mammals is related to subunit VIaL of cytochrome c oxidase with a H+/e- stoichiometry of 0.5 compared to 1.0 in the enzyme from bacteria or ectotherm animals. This hypothesis is supported by the lack of subunit VIa isoforms in cytochrome c oxidase from fish.
