Abstract
Intermolecular electron transfer between c-type cytochromes (equine cytochrome c_(550), P. denitrifcans c_(550), and P. denitrificans detergent solubilized membrane-associated c_(552)) and the two-subunit cytochrome c oxidase from P. denitrificans has been studied using a photoinitiated uroporphyrin/NADH reduction system. In the presence of cytochrome c oxidase, the oxidation of transiently produced soluble ferrocytochrome c_(550)’s was biphasic with a fast phase k_(obs) between 80 and 90 s^(-1). The simultaneous reduction of cytochrome a occurred with a k(obs) of 50 s^(-1), suggesting that cytochrome a is not the immediate electron acceptor for these soluble cytochromes. In contrast, the membrane-associated cytochrome c_(552) was not capable of transferring electrons to cytochrome c oxidase, either transiently or under steady-state conditions. It is concluded that the soluble and membrane-associated cytochrome c’s utilize separate electron-transfer pathways into P. denitrifcans cytochrome c oxidase.
