  ABSTRACT  
 
On the basis of x-ray diffraction data to a resolution of 2.9 angstroms, atomic models of most protein components of the bovine cytochrome bc1 complex were built, including core 1, core 2, cytochrome b, subunit 6, subunit 7, a carboxyl-terminal fragment of cytochrome c1, and an amino-terminal fragment of the iron-sulfur protein. The positions of the four iron centers within the bc1 complex and the binding sites of the two specific respiratory inhibitors antimycin A and myxothiazol were identified. The membrane-spanning region of each bc1 complex monomer consists of 13 transmembrane helices, eight of which belong to cytochrome b. Closely interacting monomers are arranged as symmetric dimers and form cavities through which the inhibitor binding pockets can be accessed. The proteins core 1 and core 2 are structurally similar to each other and consist of two domains of roughly equal size and identical folding topology.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Anomalous scattering difference-Fourier map contoured at 5.1 (red) and difference densities between inhibitor-bound and^ native crystals contoured at 4.5 (antimycin A) and 4.0 (myxothiazol). (A) View parallel to the membrane plane, with the intermembrane^ space at the top and the matrix space at the bottom. Peaks were^ assigned to hemes b[H], b[L], and c[1] and to the Rieske iron-sulfur cluster, respectively, as shown. Distances between some iron pairs are indicated (see Table 2). The twofold symmetry axis of the^ bc[1] dimer (purple line) runs in the plane of the diagram. (B) View perpendicular to the membrane plane.
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Inhibitor binding sites in the cytochrome bc[1] complex. (A) Stereo diagram of the antimycin A binding pocket. The helices a, A, D, and E of cytochrome b form the pocket as shown. The DE^ loop is the bottom, and the b[H] heme (yellow ball-and-stick model) is the back wall of the pocket. The difference density between inhibitor-bound and native crystals is contoured at 4.5 (blue) and at -4.5 (brown). An antimycin molecule is fitted to the positive^ density. (B) Stereo diagram of the myxothiazol binding pocket, formed by helices C, F, cd1, and ef of cytochrome b, as indicated. The b[L] heme (yellow ball-and-stick model) and the Rieske^ iron-sulfur center (green and yellow dots) are about equally distant from the pocket. The difference density is contoured at 4.0 (blue).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
