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 PubMed Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal enzyme in the electron transfer chain, translocates protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane by harnessing the free energy generated by the reduction of oxygen to water. Several redox-coupled proton translocation mechanisms have been proposed, but they lack confirmation, in part from the absence of reliable structural information due to radiation damage artifacts caused by the intense synchrotron radiation. Here we report the room temperature, neutral pH (6.8), damage-free structure of bovine CcO (bCcO) in the carbon monoxide (CO)-bound state at a resolution of 2.3 A, obtained by serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX) with an X-ray free electron laser. As a comparison, an equivalent structure was obtained at a resolution of 1.95 A, from data collected at a synchrotron light source. In the SFX structure, the CO is coordinated to the heme a3 iron atom, with a bent Fe-C-O angle of approximately 142 degrees . In contrast, in the synchrotron structure, the Fe-CO bond is cleaved; CO relocates to a new site near CuB, which, in turn, moves closer to the heme a3 iron by approximately 0.38 A. Structural comparison reveals that ligand binding to the heme a3 iron in the SFX structure is associated with an allosteric structural transition, involving partial unwinding of the helix-X between heme a and a3, thereby establishing a communication linkage between the two heme groups, setting the stage for proton translocation during the ensuing redox chemistry.
