  • Title: Studies on cytochrome-c oxidase, XIII. Amino-acid sequence of the small membrane polypeptide VIIIc from bovine heart respiratory complex IV.
    Author: Meinecke L, Buse G.
    Journal: Biol Chem Hoppe Seyler; 1986 Jan; 367(1):67-73. PubMed ID: 3006725.
    Abstract:
    The isolation and complete amino-acid sequence analysis of the cytoplasmically synthesized polypeptide VIIIc from bovine heart cytochrome-c oxidase is described. The protein is a stoichiometric constituent of the mitochondrial respiratory complex IV. Its primary structure is deduced from N-terminal sequencing and peptides obtained by enzymatic cleavage with Staphylococcus aureus proteinase and chemical cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The small protein consists of 56 amino acids summing up to a total Mr of 6243. From position 34 to 51 the chain contains a hydrophobic sequence of 18 residues. This probably membrane-spanning segment also contains the 2 cysteine residues of the chain. The function of this subunit in the respiratory complex IV is still unknown.
