SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
ubiquinol:O2 oxidoreductase (electrogenic, non H+-transporting)
This terminal oxidase enzyme is unable to pump protons but generates a proton motive force by transmembrane charge separation resulting from utilizing protons and electrons originating from opposite sides of the membrane to generate water. The bioenergetic efficiency (the number of charges driven across the membrane per electron used to reduce oxygen to water) is 1. The bd-I oxidase from the bacterium Escherichia coli is the predominant respiratory oxygen reductase that functions under microaerophilic conditions in that organism. cf. EC 1.10.3.10, ubiquinol oxidase (H+-transporting).
inactivation of cydA or cydB by gene disruption results in loss of d-heme absorbance at 631 nm. Inactivation of cydA has no effect on the ability of Mycobacterium smegmatis to exit from stationary phase at 37 or 42°C. No discernible growth defect of the mutant is observed under moderately aerobic conditions, while the mutant displays a significant growth disadvantage when cocultured with the wild type under extreme microaerophilia. The cydA mutant displays a competitive growth disadvantage in the presence of the terminal oxidase inhibitor, cyanide, when cocultured with wild type at 21% air saturation in an oxystat; inactivation of cydA or cydB gene disruption results in loss of d-heme absorbance at 631 nm
after the initial binding of O2, the O–O bond is heterolytically cleaved to yield a kinetically competent heme d oxoferryl porphyrin pi-cation radical intermediate magnetically interacting with heme b595. This intermediate accumulates to 0.75-0.85 per enzyme in agreement with its much higher rate of formation at 20000 per s compared with its rate of decay of 1900 per s. The intermediate is next converted to a short lived heme d oxoferryl in a phase kinetically matched to the oxidation of heme b558 before completion of the reaction. The results indicate that cytochrome bd oxidases break the O-O bond in a single four-electron transfer without a peroxide intermediate. The fourth electron is donated by the porphyrin moiety rather than by a nearby amino acid
two- to threefold increase in cydAB gene expression upon reduction of the pO2 of the growth medium from 21 to 0.5% air saturation with concomitant increase in d-heme absorbance in spectra of membranes isolated from wild-type Mycobacterium smegmatis cultured at 1% air saturation; two- to threefold increase in cydAB gene expression upon reduction of the pO2 of the growth medium from 21 to 0.5% air saturation with concomitant increase in d-heme absorbance in spectra of membranes isolated from wild-type Mycobacterium smegmatis cultured at 1% air saturation
subnit cydA has nine transmembrane helices with the O2 reactive site near the periplasmic surface. Residue His19, the ligand to the high spin heme b595 component of the oxidase, is located near the periplasmic surface of the protein
