IPR001349

Description

IPR001349 is a Cytochrome c oxidase, subunit VIa.

<p>Cytochrome c oxidase ([ec:1.9.3.1]) is an oligomeric enzymatic complex which is a component of the respiratory chain complex and is involved in the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen [[cite:PUB00000581]]. In eukaryotes this enzyme complex is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane; in aerobic prokaryotes it is found in the plasma membrane.</p> <p>In eukaryotes, in addition to the three large subunits, I, II and III, that form the catalytic centre of the enzyme complex, there are a variable number of small polypeptidic subunits. One of these subunits is known as VIa in vertebrates and fungi. Mammals have two tissue-specific isoforms of VIa, a liver (VIa-L) and a heart and skeletal muscle isoform (VIa-H). Mammalian VIa-H induces a slip in CcO (decrease in proton/electron stoichiometry) at high intramitochondrial ATP/ADP ratios, while VIa-L induces a permanent slip in CcO, depending on the presence of cardiolipin and palmitate [[cite:PUB00079537]]. Only one form is found in fish [[cite:PUB00000674]].</p>

Molecular function Cytochrome-c oxidase activity Catalysis of the reaction: 4 ferrocytochrome c + O2 + 4 H+ = 4 ferricytochrome c + 2 H2O.
Cellular component Mitochondrial inner membrane The inner, i.e. lumen-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope. It is highly folded to form cristae.
Cellular component Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV A protein complex located in the mitochondrial inner membrane that forms part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Contains the 13 polypeptide subunits of cytochrome c oxidase, including cytochrome a and cytochrome a3. Catalyzes the oxidation of reduced cytochrome c by dioxygen (O2).
