Although our previous work has elucidated the structure and proton transfer mechanism of the Escherichia coli cytochrome bo(3) ubiquinol oxidase, the quinone dynamics and structural diversity across heme-copper oxidoreductases remain unclear. Here, we report the high-resolution cryo-EM structures of cytochrome bo(3) ubiquinol oxidase from the pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. We captured four distinct conformational states of its native ubiquinone-8 substrate within the binding pocket. Comparative analysis revealed that conformational transitions of the substrate are directly coupled to movements of the transmembrane 0 helix. Notably, in the locked state, the substrate headgroup is stabilized by specific hydrogen bonds and adopts a distinct depth and orientation. In addition, a unique hairpin-like loop was identified in subunit II, a specific feature absent in the homologs. Our observations not only provide structural details of a pathogenic respiratory terminal oxidase but also reveal a dynamic substrate catalytic mechanism, highlighting potential avenues for targeting bacterial energy metabolism.
