Towards the mechanism of proton pumping by the haem-copper oxidases

Abstract

The haem-copper oxidases comprise a large family of enzymes that is widespread among aerobic organisms. These remarkable membrane-bound proteins catalyse the respiratory reduction of dioxygen to water, and conserve free energy from this reaction by operating as proton pumps. The mechanism of redox-dependent proton translocation has been elusive despite the availability of high resolution crystal structures from several oxidases. Here, we discuss some recent as well as some older results that may shed light on this mechanism. We conclude that proton-pumping is initiated by vectorial proton transfer from a conserved glutamic acid (Glu242 in the bovine enzyme) to a proton acceptor above the haem groups, and that this primary event is mechanistically coupled to electron transfer from haem a to the binuclear haem a3/CuB centre. Subsequently, Glu242 is reprotonated from the negatively charged side of the membrane. Next this proton is transferred to the binuclear site to complete the chemistry, Glu242 is reprotonated once more, and the "prepumped" proton is ejected on the opposite side of the membrane. The different kinetics of electron-coupled proton transfer in different steps of the catalytic cycle may be related to differences in ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
