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 7.1.1.3, ubiquinol oxidase (H+-transporting).

quinol:oxygen 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 7.1.1.3, ubiquinol oxidase (H+-transporting).
after the initial binding of O2, the OO 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
purified cytochrome bd in turnover with O2 is able to metabolize ONOO- with an apparent turnover rate as high as about 10 mol ONOO- per mol of enzyme and per s at 25°C

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
addition of ONOO- to cytochrome bd in turnover with ascorbate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine causes the irreversible inhibition of about 15% of the enzyme fraction, due to the NO radical generated from ONOO-. Addition of ONOO- to cells expressing cytochrome bd as the only terminal oxidase, causes about 5% irreversible inhibition of O2 consumption. Purified cytochrome bd in turnover with O2 is able to metabolize ONOO- with an apparent turnover rate as high as about 10 mol ONOO- per mol of enzyme and per s at 25°C
level of the catalytic subunit, CydA, of the bd oxidase is low in spore extracts derived from the wild type, and is upregulated in a mutant lacking the bcc-aa3 supercomplex, EC 7.1.1.5

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
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
besides its oxidase activity, cytochrome bd is a genuine quinol peroxidase that reduces hydrogen peroxide to water. The enzyme does not display catalase activity
both cytochrome bd-type CydAB, EDC 7.1.1.7, and cytochrome aa3-type menaquinol QoxAB oxidase, EC 7.1.1.5, are used for respiration under different oxygen tensions. Possession of both terminal oxidases is important in infection. In air, the CydAB bd-type oxidase is essential for aerobic respiration and intracellular replication, and cydAB mutants are highly attenuated in mice. At 1% O2 (vol/vol), both oxidases are functional, and the presence of either is sufficient for aerobic respiration and intracellular replication. At 0.2% O2 (vol/vol), both oxidases are necessary for maximum growth
in respiratory mutants, both O2-consumption and aerobic growth are unaffected by up to 200 microM sulfide when cytochrome bd-I or bd-II enzyme actes as the only terminal oxidase. Wild-type Escherichia coli shows sulfide-insensitive respiration and growth under conditions favouring the expression of bd oxidases
loss of the flavohemoglobin Hmp and cytochrome bd-I elicit high sensitivity to NO-mediated growth inhibition. The subunits cydAB mutant displays an attenuated colonisation phenotype in a mouse model after 2 days
the bd oxidase functions in controlling electron flux. A mutant lacking the cytochrome bd oxidase shows developmental defects during growth on buffered rich medium plates with glucose as the energy substrate. Cytochrome bd oxidase is essential for the bacterium to grow and complete its developmental cycle under oxygen limitation
the interheme electron backflow reaction induced by photodissociation of CO from heme d in one-electron reduced cytochrome bd-I comprises two kinetically different phases: the fast electron transfer from heme d to heme b595 within 0.2-1.5 micros and the slower electron equilibration with tau of about 16 micros. At 200 ns, there is no electron transfer
the unresolved photodissociation of CO is followed by a four-phased recombination with characteristic times of about 20 micros, 250 micros, 1.1 ms, and 24 ms. The 20x02micros phase most likely reflects bimolecular recombination of CO with heme d. The 250x02micros phase is heterogeneous and includes recombination of CO with about 7% of heme b595 and transition of heme d from a pentacoordinate to a transient hexacoordinate state in this enzyme population. The 24x02ms transition probably reflects a return of heme d to the pentacoordinate state in the same protein fraction. The 1.1x02ms phase reflects a recombination of CO with about 15% of heme b558
when cystine is provided and sulfide levels rise, Escherichia coli becomes strictly dependent upon cytochrome bd oxidase for continued respiration. Low-micromolar levels of sulfide inhibit the proton-pumping cytochrome bo oxidase. In the absence of the back-up cytochrome bd oxidase, growth fails. Exogenous sulfide elicits the same effect
