摘要

Genetic manipulation of the aa_3-type cytochrome c oxidase of Rhodobacter sphaeroides was used to determine the minimal structural subunit associations required for the assembly of the heme A and copper centers of subunit I. In the absence of the genes for subunits II and III, expression of the gene for subunit I in Rb. sphaeroides allowed purification of a form of free subunit I(subunit I_a) that contained a single heme A. No copper was present in this protein, indicating that the heme a_3-Cu_B active site was not assembled. In ce4lls expressing the genes for subunits I and II, but not subunit III, two oxidase forms were synthesized that were copurified by histidine affinity chromatography and separated by anion-exchange chromatography. One form was a highly active subunit I-II oxidase containing a full complement of structurally normal metal centers. This shows that association of subunit II with subunit I is required for stable formation of the active site in subunit I. In contrast, subunit III is not required for the formation of any of the metal centers or for the production of an oxidase with wild-type activity. The second product of the cells lacking subunit III was a large amount of a free form of subunit I that appeared identifcal to subunit I_a. Since significant amounts of subunit I_a were also isolated form wild-type cells, it is likely that subunit I_a will be present in any preparation of the aa_a-type oxidase isolated via an affinity tag on subunit I.
