The complex couples electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c. COR1 may mediate formation of the complex between cytochromes c and c1. Publication Abstract from PubMed Recent studies have established that cellular electrostatic interactions are more influential than assumed previously. Here, we use cryo-EM and perform steady-state kinetic studies to investigate electrostatic interactions between cytochrome (cyt.) c and the complex (C) III(2)-IV supercomplex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at low salinity. The kinetic studies show a sharp transition with a Hill coefficient >/=2, which together with the cryo-EM data at 2.4 A resolution indicate multiple cyt. c molecules bound along the supercomplex surface. Negatively charged loops of CIII(2) subunits Qcr6 and Qcr9 become structured to interact with cyt. c. In addition, the higher resolution allows us to identify water molecules in proton pathways of CIV and, to the best of our knowledge, previously unresolved cardiolipin molecules. In conclusion, the lowered electrostatic screening renders engagement of multiple cyt. c molecules that are directed by electrostatically structured CIII(2) loops to conduct electron transfer between CIII(2) and CIV.
