Structural highlights
FunctionCOX1_BOVIN Cytochrome c oxidase is the component of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Subunits 1-3 form the functional core of the enzyme complex. CO I is the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Electrons originating in cytochrome c are transferred via the copper A center of subunit 2 and heme A of subunit 1 to the bimetallic center formed by heme A3 and copper B.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe X-ray crystallographic structure of nitric oxide-treated bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) in the fully reduced state has been determined at 50 K under light illumination. In this structure, nitric oxide (NO) is bound to the CcO oxygen-reduction site, which consists of haem and a Cu atom (the haem a(3)-Cu(B) site). Electron density for the NO molecule was observed close to Cu(B). The refined structure indicates that NO is bound to Cu(B) in a side-on manner.
