Structural changes at the surface of cytochrome c oxidase alter the proton-pumping stoichiometry
2019
Abstract Data from earlier studies showed that minor structural changes at the surface of cytochrome c oxidase, in one of the proton-input pathways (the D pathway), result in dramatically decreased activity and a lower proton-pumping stoichiometry. To further investigate how changes around the D pathway orifice influence functionality of the enzyme, here we modified the nearby C-terminal loop of subunit I of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides cytochrome c oxidase. Removal of 16 residues from this flexible surface loop resulted in a decrease in the proton-pumping stoichiometry to
