title: Studies on cytochrome c oxidase, XI. The amino-acid sequence of bovine heart polypeptide VIc.
abstract: The complete primary structure of the cytoplasmically synthesized polypeptide VIc from beef heart cytochrome c oxidase was determined via isolation and sequencing of overlapping methionine and glutamic acid fragments. The protein consists of 73 amino acids (Mr 8 480). Through the protein contains, from residues 21 to 40, a hydrophobic sequence interrupted by one lysine it may not penetrate the membrane. A sequence of 33 amino acids highly homologous to the C-terminal part of VIc has been translated from a cDNA clone of a nuclear coded subunit of the enzyme from rat liver. The function of this component of the terminal oxidase is yet unknown.
