General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
1.2.5.1 physiological function the cytochrome o complex functions as an efficient ubiquinol-8 oxidase in reconstituted proteoliposomes, and ubiquinone-8 serves as an electron carrier from the flavoprotein pyruvate oxidase to the cytochrome complex. Electron flow from the flavoprotein to oxygen in the reconstituted proteoliposomes generates a transmembrane potential of at least 120 mV, negative inside, which is sensitive to ionophore uncouplers and inhibitorso f the terminal oxidase. The minimal composition of this respiratory chain is a flavoprotein dehydrogenase, ubiquinone-8, and the cytochrome o complex Escherichia coli
