Abstract
Second-site revertants were selected from a respiratory-deficient mutant carrying the mutation D369N located in a loop between helices IX and X close to H376 and H378, the proposed ligands of haem a(3) and haem a, respectively. A reversion was observed in subunit II, in the vicinity of the Cu-A ligands. This same reversion compensates the subunit I deficiency mutation, S140L, assumed to be near H62, the second putative histidine ligand to haem a. These data enable us to propose a three-dimensional topology in which Cu-A in subunit II is located on top of the Positive-side of subunit I and in proximity to all three of its metal centres.
