Abstract
The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) promotes bioenergetics via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Three tightly bound CLs are evolutionarily conserved in the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC in yeast; adenine nucleotide translocator, ANT in mammals) which resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and exchanges ADP and ATP to enable OXPHOS. Here, we investigated the role of these buried CLs in the carrier using yeast Aac2 as a model. We introduced negatively charged mutations into each CL-binding site of Aac2 to disrupt the CL interactions via electrostatic repulsion. While all mutations disturbing the CL-protein interaction destabilized Aac2 monomeric structure, transport activity was impaired in a pocket-specific manner. Finally, we determined that a disease-associated missense mutation in one CL-binding site in ANT1 compromised its structure and transport activity, resulting in OXPHOS defects. Our findings highlight the conserved significance of CL in AAC/ANT structure and function, directly tied to specific lipid-protein interactions.

Abstract
The phospholipid cardiolipin has pleiotropic structural and functional roles that are collectively essential for mitochondrial biology. Yet, the molecular details of how this lipid supports the structure and function of proteins and protein complexes are poorly understood. To address this property of cardiolipin, we use the mitochondrial adenosine 5'-diphosphate/adenosine 5'-triphosphate carrier (Aac) as a model. Here, we have determined that cardiolipin is critical for both the tertiary and quaternary assembly of the major yeast Aac isoform Aac2 as well as its conformation. Notably, these cardiolipin-provided structural roles are separable. In addition, we show that multiple copies of Aac2 engage in shared complexes that are largely dependent on the presence of assembled respiratory complexes III and IV or respiratory supercomplexes. Intriguingly, the assembly state of Aac2 is sensitive to its transport-related conformation. Together, these results expand our understanding of the numerous structural roles provided by cardiolipin for mitochondrial membrane proteins.

Abstract
A number of physical and chemical techniques are available for the study of macro-molecular protein structure. One of the most direct is the use of electron microscopy, but its use with biological structures suffers from many problems and limitations related to noise, contrast, and specimen damage by the electron beam. Many of these problems can be alleviated through the use of techniques of images analysis which have been developed in recent years (Crowther and Klug, 1975). I would like to present two examples demonstrating how electron microscopy and image analysis have been applied to the structural study of a soluble enzyme, glutamine synthetase, and a membrane-bound enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase.

Abstract
We used the amphipathic styrene maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer to extract cytochrome c oxidase (CytcO) in its native lipid environment from S. cerevisiae mitochondria. Native nanodiscs containing one CytcO per disc were purified using affinity chromatography. The longest cross-sections of the native nanodiscs were 11nm×14nm. Based on this size we estimated that each CytcO was surrounded by ~100 phospholipids. The native nanodiscs contained the same major phospholipids as those found in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Even though CytcO forms a supercomplex with cytochrome bc1 in the mitochondrial membrane, cyt. bc1 was not found in the native nanodiscs. Yet, the loosely-bound Respiratory SuperComplex factors were found to associate with the isolated CytcO. The native nanodiscs displayed an O2-reduction activity of ~130 electrons CytcO-1s-1 and the kinetics of the reaction of the fully reduced CytcO with O2 was essentially the same as that observed with CytcO in mitochondrial membranes. The kinetics of CO-ligand binding to the CytcO catalytic site was similar in the native nanodiscs and the mitochondrial membranes. We also found that excess SMA reversibly inhibited the catalytic activity of the mitochondrial CytcO, presumably by interfering with cyt. c binding. These data point to the importance of removing excess SMA after extraction of the membrane protein. Taken together, our data shows the high potential of using SMA-extracted CytcO for functional and structural studies.

Abstract
The cox3 gene, encoding subunit III of cytochrome c oxidase (Cox3) is in mitochondrial genomes except in chlorophycean algae, where it is localized in the nucleus. Therefore, algae like Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Polytomella sp. and Volvox carteri, synthesize the Cox3 polypeptide in the cytosol, import it into mitochondria, and integrate it into the cytochrome c oxidase complex. In this work, we followed the in vitro internalization of the Cox3 precursor by isolated, import-competent mitochondria of Polytomella sp. In this colorless alga, the precursor Cox3 protein is synthesized with a long, cleavable, N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) of 98 residues. In an import time course, a transient Cox3 intermediate was identified, suggesting that the long MTS is processed more than once. The first processing step is sensitive to the metalo-protease inhibitor 1,10-ortophenantroline, suggesting that it is probably carried out by the matrix-located Mitochondrial Processing Protease. Cox3 is readily imported through an energy-dependent import pathway and integrated into the inner mitochondrial membrane, becoming resistant to carbonate extraction. Furthermore, the imported Cox3 protein was assembled into cytochrome c oxidase, as judged by the presence of a labeled band co-migrating with complex IV in Blue Native Electrophoresis. A model for the biogenesis of Cox3 in chlorophycean algae is proposed. This is the first time that the in vitro mitochondrial import of a cytosol-synthesized Cox3 subunit is described.

Abstract
Genetic and biochemical studies were performed with mutants allocated to the mitochondrial oxi2 gene.Recombinational analysis of 19 oxi2 mutants was performed using α and a mutant strains derived from the same genetic background. The frequencies of wild-type recombinants in oxi2 (-) × oxi2 (-) crosses varied from 0.002 to 17%. The map of oxi2 mutations constructed on the basis of these frequencies shows many internal inconsistencies. In the course of rho (-) deletion mapping five classes of oxi2 mutations were distinguished. The results of deletion analysis are in agreement with those of recombinational mapping.The analysis of mitochondrial translation products by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis of 20 oxi2 mutants shows that 17 of them are connected with conspicuous changes of 22 kd polypeptide band corresponding to subunit III of cytochrome oxidase. At least four of them carried instead of subunit III clearly visible significantly shorter polypeptides (12.8 to 20.1 kd). These were, most likely, shorter fragments of subunit III resulting from chain termination mutations. Colinearity was observed between the lenght of new polypeptides and the positions of the respective mutations on the recombinational map. These data confirm hat oxi2 encodes subunit III of cytochrome oxidase and suggest that translation of the oxi2 gene is in the direction from V303 to V273.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. COX is a multimeric enzyme formed by subunits of dual genetic origin which assembly is intricate and highly regulated. The COX catalytic core is formed by three mitochondrial DNA encoded subunits, Cox1, Cox2 and Cox3, conserved in the bacterial enzyme. Their biogenesis requires the action of messenger-specific and subunit-specific factors which facilitate the synthesis, membrane insertion, maturation or assembly of the core subunits. The study of yeast strains and human cell lines from patients carrying mutations in structural subunits and COX assembly factors has been invaluable to identify these ancillary factors. Here we review the current state of knowledge of the biogenesis and assembly of the eukaryotic COX catalytic core and discuss the degree of conservation of the players and mechanisms operating from yeast to human. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Biogenesis/Assembly of Respiratory Enzyme Complexes.

Abstract
The lipophilic, cationic fluorochrome azopentylmethylindocarbocyanine (APMC) specifically stains the mitochondria in living yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae WT X 2180). It contains a photosensitive diazirine ring and is suitable for photoaffinity labelling. By combining photoaffinity labelling, micro-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and detection of the APMC fluorescence with a microfluorimeter, we established a highly sensitive procedure for determining the apparent molecular weight of the APMC-labelled proteins in yeast cells. On vital staining at 0.1 microM APMC for 30 min, only one mitochondrial protein with an apparent molecular weight of 40 kDa is labelled with high intensity. At increased dye concentrations proteins of 47 and 49 kDa are labelled too, however not until all binding sites of the 40 kDa protein are occupied. Obviously, the APMC cations have a pronounced affinity for this protein. It was shown by fractional centrifugation that the labelled 40 kDa protein is a constituent of the inner mitochondrial membrane. One driving force for the accumulation of the APMC cations is the trans-membrane potential (TMP) across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Consequently, uncouplers like dinitrophenol (DNP) and carbonylcyanidechlorophenyl-hydrazone (CCCP), ionophores (valinomycin, gramicidin), and inhibitors of the respiratory chain (myxothiazol, KCN), which decrease the TMP, also diminish the APMC accumulation and labelling. And conversely, drugs, which hyperpolarize the inner membrane (nigericin, atractyloside), favour APMC labelling. Another driving force of APMC accumulation is the dye's lipophilicity, which facilitates dye accumulation by hydrophobic interaction with the very lipophilic proteins of the inner mitochondrial membranes. This was shown by competitive double staining experiments. Thiamine strongly inhibits APMC labelling. Obviously, the transport of the APMC cations is facilitated by the thiamine carrier, and thiamine competes for the same binding sites, which are occupied by the dye cations. Chloramphenicol is an inhibitor of the mitochondrial protein synthesis without affecting the TMP. On preincubation, chloramphenicol completely quenches the signal of the 40 kDa protein. Therefore, this protein must be encoded on the mtDNA. The only 40 kDa protein with adequate properties is the subunit I of cytochrome c oxidase. Obviously, it is the preferred target of the APMC cations on photoaffinity labelling. This assignment agrees with the strong hydrophobicity of the labelled 40 kDa protein, which was tested with various detergents. It also agrees with the solvatochromism of the protein-bound APMC label, and finally with the paralellism of the labelled protein with cytochrome c oxidase on fractional ammonium sulfate precipitation.

Abstract
Subunit V, one of the nuclear-coded subunits of yeast cytochrome c oxidase, has two isoforms, Va and Vb. These alter the in vivo intramolecular rates of electron transfer within the holoenzyme (Waterland, R. A., Basu, A., Chance, B., and Poyton, R. O. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 4180-4186). The isozyme with Vb has a higher turnover rate and a higher intramolecular transfer rate than the isozyme with Va. To determine how these isoforms affect catalysis, we have examined their effects on the binuclear reaction center and on the interaction between cytochrome c oxidase and the two isoforms, iso-1 and iso-2, of yeast cytochrome c. Infrared spectroscopy of carbon monoxide liganded to heme a3 has revealed a single conformer for the binuclear reaction center in the isozyme with Vb but two discrete conformers in the isozyme with Va. The kinetics of interaction for all four pairwise combinations of isozymes with each subunit V isoform and the two cytochrome c isoforms are biphasic, with high and low affinity electron transfer reactions. In general, the isoforms of cytochrome c and subunit V do not alter the Km but do affect the TNmax. The TNmax for isozymes carrying Vb are higher at both high and low affinity sites for each cytochrome c isoform. Iso-1-cytochrome c supports a higher TNmax than Iso-2-cytochrome c. Surprisingly, the combinatorial effect of both sets of isoforms on TNmax is minimized with the pairs of isoforms (iso-1-cytochrome c and subunit Va or iso-2 and subunit Vb) that are co-expressed in cells. Together, these findings support the conclusion that the subunit V isoforms modulate catalysis and suggest that they do so by affecting the environment or structure of the binuclear reaction center. They also suggest that the coexpression of the two cytochrome c isoforms with two subunit V isoforms serves to minimize differences in electron transfer rates brought about by the subunit V isoforms.

Abstract
Recent works on the structure and the function of cytochrome-c oxidase are reviewed. The subunit composition of the mitochondrial enzyme depends on the species and is comprised of between 5 and 13 subunits. It is reduced to 1 to 3 subunits in prokaryotes. The complete amino acid composition has been derived from protein sequencing. Gene sequences are partially known in several eukaryote species. Metal centers are only located in subunits I and II. The mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase is Y-shaped; the arms of the Y cross the inner membrane, the stalk protrudes into the intermembrane space. The bacterial enzyme has a simpler, elongated shape. A number of data have been accumulated on the subunit topology and on their location within the protein. All available spectrometric techniques have been used to investigate the environment of the metal centers as well as their interactions. From the literature, attention must be paid to what may be considered or not as an active form. The steady improvement of the instrumentation has yielded evidence for different kinds of heterogeneities which could reflect the in vivo situation. The 'pulsed' and 'resting' conformers have been well characterized. The 'oxygenated' form has been identified as a peroxide derivative of the fully oxidized cytochrome-c oxidase. The mammalian enzyme has been isolated in fully active monomeric form which does not preclude the initially suggested dimeric behavior in situ. The role of the lipids is still largely investigated, mainly through reconstitution experiments. Kinetic studies of electron transfer between cytochrome c and cytochrome-c oxidase lead to a single catalytic site model to account for the multiphasic kinetics. Results related to the low temperature investigation of the intermediate steps in the reaction between oxygen and cytochrome-c oxidase received a sound confirmation by the resolution of compound A at room temperature. It is also pointed out that the so-called mixed valence state might not be a transient state in the catalytic reduction of oxygen. The functioning of cytochrome-c oxidase as a proton pump has been supported by a number of experimental results. Subunit III would be involved in this process. The redox link to the proton pump has been suggested to be at the Fea-CuA site. The molecular mechanism responsible for the proton pumping is still unknown.

Monoamine oxidases A and B (amino: oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) (flavin-containing), EC 1.4.3.4) have been identified in the outer membranes of rat liver mitochondria by their covalent reaction with the inhibitor, [3H]pargyline. On analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. Monoamine oxidase A was found to migrate more slowly that monoamine oxidase B. Proteins which correspond to monoamine oxidases A and B (as identified by the electrophoretic distribution of covalently bound [3H]pargyline) were excised from the gels. Subsequent analysis showed that both monoamine oxidase A and monoamine B had been highly purified by this procedure. Electrophoretic analysis of the peptides produced by limited proteolysis with bovine trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase and cyanogen bromide indicate that monoamine oxidases A and B have different amino acid sequences.

Abstract
The expression of mitochondrial genome of D. melanogaster in isolated mitochondria was followed by incorporation of 35S methionine in neosynthesized polypeptides. A high level of protein synthesis was obtained after optimization of all the incubation parameters. Two kinds of energy-generating systems were used: an endogenous system where an oxidizable substrate were added for ATP synthesis; an exogenous system with an energy-rich compound for ATP regeneration, the latter proved to be the most effective. The effect of the oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler (Clccp), and an ATPase inhibitor (oligomycine) allow us to postulate the role of the electrochemical potential in the expression of the mitochondrial genome. Electrophoresis and autoradiography of neosynthesized mitochondrial proteins exhibits 18 to 24 protein bands, ranging from 6.5 to 65 Kd; incubation of KC 0% drosophila cells with 35S methionine and cycloheximide gave similar results. Both our results and those published elsewhere suggest that the expression of mitochondrial genome in higher organisms could be more complex than simple translation of the 13 genes presents on these genomes.

Abstract
We have isolated a gene coding for cytochrome c oxidase subunit V by genetic complementation in yeast. This protein is made as a 153 amino acid long precursor; its amino-terminal extension of 20 amino acids contains four basic residues and no acidic one, a feature common to most pre-sequences of imported mitochondrial proteins.

Abstract
We describe here a new method for the specific isolation of cytochrome c oxidase-deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One unique feature of the method is the use of tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as a cytochrome c oxidase activity stain for yeast colonies. The staining of yeast colonies by tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine is dependent upon a functional cytochrome c oxidase and is unaffected by other lesions in respiration. Since the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine colony staining reaction is rapid and simple, it greatly facilitates both the identification and characterization of cytochrome c oxidase-deficient mutants. Another feature of the method, which is made possible by the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine colony stain, is the use of an op1 parent strain for the isolation of nuclear pet or mitochondrial mit mutants in specific protein-coding genes. A parent strain that carries this marker selects against rho0 or rho- classes of pleiotropic respiratory-deficient mutants, since these are lethal in op1 strains. We have used this method to isolate 123 independently derived cytochrome c oxidase-deficient pet mutants and 300 independently derived mit mutants.

Abstract
A semidominant nuclear suppressor, called nam6, of oxi2-V276 mitochondrial mutation has been isolated and characterized. The nuclear character of nam6 was proved by its retention in rho degree strains, lack of mitotic segregation in diploids and meiotic 2:2 segregation in tetrads. The specificity of nam6 was tested on 315 mit- mutations of four mitochondrial genes (oxi1, oxi2, oxi3, and cob-box). It suppresses clearly only three mutations in the oxi2 gene, restoring partially or completely cytochrome aa3 formation. The results suggest a functional character of the suppression.

Abstract
mit- Mutants carrying genetically defined mutations in the oli2 region of the mitochondrial DNA were analysed. Most of these mutants demonstrated either the absence of subunit 6 or its replacement by shorter mitochondrial translation products which could be shown to be structurally related to subunit 6 by using a rabbit anti F1F0-antiserum, and by limited proteolytic mapping of the new mitochondrial translation products. Three representative oli2 mit- strains were analysed for the effects of a grossly altered subunit 6 or of a complete absence of this subunit on the activity and assembly of the H+-ATPase. Our results suggest that this subunit is not required for the assembly of the proton channel of the enzyme complex. Thus, in the absence of subunit 6, the mitochondrial respiratory activities in the oli2 mutants were found to be still sensitive to oligomycin, a specific inhibitor of the H+-ATPase proton channel. Immunoprecipitation of the assembled H+-ATPase subunits from these mutant strains using a monoclonal anti-beta-subunit antibody indicates that subunit 6 is also not essential for the assembly of most F1 subunits to components of the F0 sector.

Abstract
Toyopearl media for gel filtration tend to adsorb proteins at high ionic strength, presumably by hydrogen bonding. This is used in the technique proposed here for resolution of crude protein mixtures and initial purification of their components. Proteins can be selectively adsorbed on a column of Toyopearl at high ammonium sulfate concentration and then eluted by decreasing the salt concentration. This single-step procedure can replace the usual salt fractionation of protein mixtures, which is demonstrated with yeast cytochrome oxidase.

Abstract
Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase is an exceedingly complex multistructural and multifunctional membranous enzyme. In this review, we will provide an overview of the many interactions of cytochrome oxidase, stressing developments not covered by the excellent monograph of Wikström, Krab, and Saraste (1981), and continuing into early 1983. First we describe its functions (both in the nominal sense, as a transporter of electrons between cytochrome c and oxygen, and in its role in energy transduction). Then we describe its structure, emphasizing the protein (its structure as a whole, the number and stoichiometry of its subunits, their biosynthetic origin, and their interactions with each other, with other components of the enzyme complex, and with the membrane as a whole). Finally, we present a model in which the protein conformation serves as the focus for the dynamic interaction of its two major functions.

Abstract
A cDNA library for 6S-9S poly(A)-containing RNA from rat liver was constructed in E. coli. Initial screening of the clones was carried out using single stranded 32P-labeled cDNA prepared against poly(A)-containing RNA isolated from immunoadsorbed polyribosomes enriched for the nuclear-coded subunit messenger RNAs of cytochrome c oxidase. One of the clones, pCO89, was found to hybridize with the messenger RNA for subunit VIC. The DNA sequence of the insert in pCO89 was carried out and it has got extensive homology with the C-terminal 33 amino acids of subunit VIC from beef heart cytochrome c oxidase. In addition, the insert contained 146 bp, corresponding to a portion of the 3'-non-coding region. Northern blot analysis of rat liver RNA with the nick-translated insert of pCO89 revealed that the messenger RNA for subunit VI would contain around 510 bases.

Abstract
A nuclear pet mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is defective in the structural gene for subunit V of cytochrome c oxidase has been identified and used to clone the subunit V gene (COX5) by complementation. This mutant, E4-238 [24], and its revertant, JM110, produce variant forms of subunit V. In comparison to the wild-type polypeptide (Mr = 12,500), the polypeptides from E4-238 and JM110 have apparent molecular weights of 9,500 and 13,500, respectively. These mutations directly alter the subunit V structural gene rather than a gene required for posttranslational processing or modification of subunit V because they are cis-acting in diploid cells; that is, both parental forms of subunit V are produced in heteroallelic diploids formed from crosses between the mutant, revertant, and wild type. Several plasmids containing the COX5 gene were isolated by transformation of JM28, a derivative of E4-238, with DNA from a yeast nuclear DNA library in the vector YEp13. One plasmid, YEp13-511, with a DNA insert of 4.8 kilobases, was characterized in detail. It restores respiratory competency and cytochrome oxidase activity in JM28, encodes a new form of subunit V that is functionally assembled into mitochondria, and is capable of selecting mRNA for subunit V. The availability of mutants altered in the structural gene for subunit V (COX5) and of the COX5 gene on a plasmid, together with the demonstration that plasmid-encoded subunit V is able to assemble into a functional holocytochrome c oxidase, enables molecular genetic studies of subunit V assembly into mitochondria and holocytochrome c oxidase.

Abstract
Reversed-phase chromatography of the subunits of an oligomeric membrane protein such as yeast cytochrome c oxidase requires additional sample handling techniques which are not necessary for soluble proteins. This paper considers these and discusses (1) methods for the removal of ballast material by preliminary batchwise extraction with solvent mixtures similar to those used for reversed-phase elution; (2) the chromatographic heterogeneity induced by partial cysteine oxidation; (3) the removal of tightly bound proteins from the stationary phase; and (4) the generation of an elution system with continuously variable selectivity based on acetonitrile-1-propanol ratios (0.05% triethylamine, 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid). These methods are designed to simplify complex mixtures of hydrophobic proteins prior to chromatography and to purify them chromatographically in high yield.

Abstract
The inhibitory effect of econazole nitrate on the growth of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is proportional to the concentration of the product. It depends on the phase of culture and on the number of cells present at the moment of econazole addition into the medium. The most important inhibition is obtained in the exponential phase of growth with a low concentration of cells. It is enhanced with cells which were previously in contact with the product. There is no adaptation of the yeast toward increased concentrations of econazole. The product penetrates the cells and attaches first to particular fractions, later to soluble fractions. The highest concentration of econazole nitrate in cells lies in the mitochondria. No product of econazole metabolism by S. cerevisiae was uncovered. Econazole nitrate does not slow down the in vivo activities of mitochondrial enzymes (cytochrome c oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase and phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase), but inhibits the biosynthesis of mitochondrial membrane enzymes without affecting that of the synthetase, a matrix enzyme.

Abstract
A sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoretic procedure which allows the separation of isolated cytochrome c oxidase from different mammalian sources into 13 different polypeptides is described. Application of the silver-staining procedure results in the same protein pattern as obtained by Coomassie blue staining. From the correlation of the gel bands with 12 isolated polypeptides from which the complete amino acid sequence is known, it is concluded that mammalian cytochrome c oxidase consists of 13 different polypeptides which can all be separated by the described procedure.

Abstract
OXI mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae lack a functional cytochrome c oxidase. Wild type and OXI mutants were grown in the presence of radioactive delta-amino[14C]levulinic acid, a precursor of porphyrin and heme, and [3H]mevalonic acid, a precursor of the alkyl side-chain of heme a. SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the delipidated mitochondria showed that delta-amino[14C]levulinic acid was distributed into three bands migrating in the regions of Mr 28 000, 13 500, and 10 000, while [3H]mevalonic acid was found in a single band with apparent Mr of 10 000. The immunoprecipitates obtained by incubating the solubilized mitochondria of any OXI mutant with antibodies against cytochrome c oxidase, showed, after delipidation, a high specific radioactivity due to delta-amino[14C]levulinic acid and [3H]mevalonic acid. This suggested that a prophyrin a was present in all these OXI mutants. HCl fractionation confirmed the presence of porphyrin a in the apooxidase of these mutants. Atomic absorption spectra of the immunoprecipitate of cytochrome c oxidase showed that copper was not detectable in the mutant OXI IIIa which lacked subunit 1, but was present in the mutant OXI IIIb, which exhibited a minor alteration in the electrophoretic mobility of subunit 1. In OXI I and II mutants there was a 50% reduction in the amount of copper in the immunoprecipitated cytochrome c oxidase. These observations may be interpretable as follows: (1) alterations in polypeptide biosynthesis due to the OXI mutations lead to an improper configuration of cytochrome c oxidase, so that ferrochelatase cannot transfer iron into porphyrin a; (2) subunit I is the binding site for copper, but the mutations in subunits II and III alter the binding site of one of the two copper atoms in subunit I.

Abstract
Bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase consists of 12 stoicheiometric polypeptide chains of at least 11 different types. The enzyme contains 14--16 cysteine residues; the distribution of nearly all cysteine residues over the subunits has been established. In native cytochrome c oxidase two thiol groups reacted rapidly and stoicheiometrically with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). These thiol groups are located in subunits I and III, respectively. This implies that subunit I is not fully buried in the hydrophobic core of the enzyme. After dissociation of the enzyme by sodium dodecyl sulphate more thiol groups became available to DTNB, in addition to those in subunits I and III, at least one in subunit II, two in fraction V/VI and one to two in the smallest subunit fraction. It is shown that separation of the subunits of cytochrome c oxidase by gel permeation chromatography in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate depends on the pH of the elution medium. The elution volume of subunits I, III and VII is dependent on pH, that of the others independent.

Abstract
1. The cytochrome content of beef liver mitochondria differs from that of beef heart mitochondria by an eightfold lower cytochrome aa3 and a twofold lower cytochrome b and c + c1 content. 2. The kinetic properties of cytochrome c oxidases from beef liver and heart were measured with intact cytochrome c-depleted membranes, deoxycholate-dissolved membranes, and with the isolated enzymes at various cytochrome c concentrations with an oxygen electrode. Under all conditions a higher V was found for the liver enzyme, both for the low-affinity and for the high-affinity binding site for cytochrome c. Differences were also found for the Km of the two enzymes. 3. Isolated beef heart mitochondria contained about twice as much cardiolipin than beef liver mitochondria. The isolated enzymes contained one mole cardiolipin per mole of the heart enzyme, but 2 moles cardiolipin per mole of the liver enzyme. 4. By application of a high performance sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoretic system the two isolated enzymes could be separated into 13 different protein components, three of which (polypeptides VIa, VIIa and VIII) were found to differ in their apparent molecular weights. The functional meaning of cytochrome c oxidase isoenzymes in liver and heart is discussed.

Abstract
We have analyzed the catabolite regulation of cytochrome oxidase by assaying changes in the synthesis of precursors of the nuclear-coded peptides (IV--VII) of cytochrome c oxidase in an in vitro reticulocyte cell-free system programmed with RNA isolated from cells grown in either glucose or raffinose. As a first step, we have characterized antibodies which bind to the precursors of subunits V and VI. Initial translation products for subunits IV and VII have also been tentatively identified by utilizing these antibodies. The messenger RNAs coding for the precursors of the nuclear-coded subunits fall in the expected size range of 8--15 S. Catabolite repression of the nuclear-coded oxidase peptides appears to be regulated by the abundance of their messenger RNAs. Translation of messenger RNA isolated from yeast cells grown on glucose indicates a coordinate and uniform increase in precursor synthesis during glucose derepression. In contrast, when RNA isolated from raffinose (derepressed) grown cells is used to direct cell-free translation, precursor abundance is high throughout growth, although the synthesis of some of the species changes in a complex pattern of ratio and abundance. These data indicate that the abundance of the messengers for the nuclear-coded precursors is regulated in a fashion dependent on the physiologic state of the cell.
