IUBMB Comments
An oligomeric membrane heme-Cu:O2 reductase-type enzyme that terminates the respiratory chains of aerobic and facultative aerobic organisms. The reduction of O2 to water is accompanied by the extrusion of four protons. The cytochrome-aa3 enzymes of mitochondria and many bacterial species are the most abundant group, but other variations, such as the bacterial cytochrome-cbb3 enzymes, also exist. All of the variants have a conserved catalytic core subunit (subunit I) that contains a low-spin heme (of a- or b-type), a binuclear metal centre composed of a high-spin heme iron (of a-, o-, or b-type heme, referred to as a3, o3 or b3 heme), and a Cu atom (CuB). Besides subunit I, the enzyme usually has at least two other core subunits: subunit II is the primary electron acceptor; subunit III usually does not contain any cofactors, but in the case of cbb3-type enzymes it is a diheme c-type cytochrome. While most bacterial enzymes consist of only 3--4 subunits, the mitochondrial enzyme is much more complex and contains 14 subunits.
