title: Relationships between membrane-bound cytochrome o from Vitreoscilla and that of Escherichia coli.
abstract: The cytochrome o terminal oxidases from the bacteria Vitreoscilla and Escherichia coli are structurally and functionally related. They have similar optical spectra, both exhibit ubiquinol-1 oxidase activity and are inhibited similarly. Both enzymes contain four subunits by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis and contain protoheme IX and Cu2+ prosthetic groups. Antibodies raised against the oxidase purified from E. coli crossreact with the Vitreoscilla oxidase.
