  • Title: The reactivity to N-ethyl maleimide of the subunits of cytochrome oxidase.
    Author: McGeer A, Lavers B, Williams GR.
    Journal: Can J Biochem; 1977 Sep; 55(9):988-94. PubMed ID: 198073.
    Abstract:
    Beef heart cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) prepared in this laboratory consistently presents 10 Coomassie blue staining zones on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. At pH 7.0 only two of these polypeptides (III and VIa) are labelled by radioactive N-ethyl maleimide (NEM). The labelling of VIa is variable and correlates with activity of particular oxidase preparations. When cytochrome oxidase is isolated from alkylated membranes, either mitochrondria or electron transport particles, polypeptide VIa is found not to be labelled; polypeptide III is more strongly labelled than when isolated oxidase is alkylated, and label now appears in polypeptide I which is not alkylated upon treatment of isolated oxidase with NEM.
