Abstract

Glutamic acid 286 (E286; Escherichia coli cytochrome bo 3 numbering) in subunit I of the respiratory heme-copper oxidases is highly conserved and has been suggested to be involved in proton translocation. We report a technique of enzyme reconstitution that yields essentially unidirectionally oriented cytochrome bo 3 vesicles in which proton translocation can be measured. Such experiments are not feasible in the E286Q mutant due to strong inhibition of respiration, but this is not the case for the mutants E286D and E286C. The reconstituted E286D mutant enzyme readily translocates protons whereas E286C does not. Loss of proton translocation in the D135N mutant, but not in D135E or D407N, also is verified using proteoliposomes. Stopped-flow experiments show that the peroxy intermediate accumulates in the reaction of the E286Q and E286C mutant enzymes with O 2 . We conclude that an acidic function of the 286 locus is essential for the mechanism of proton translocation.
