Nitric oxide ejects electrons from the binuclear centre of cytochrome c oxidase by reacting with oxidised copper: a general mechanism for the interaction of copper proteins with nitric oxide?

Abstract: Small increases in NO concentration can inhibit mitochondrial oxygen consumption by reacting at the binuclear haem aa/CUB oxygen reduction site of cytochrome c oxidase. Here we demonstrate that under normal turnover conditions NO reacts initially with the oxidised CuB rather than the haem aa. We propose that hydration of an initial Cu+/NO + complex forms nitrite, a proton and CUB+; the latter ejects an electron from the binuclear centre and results in the observed (100 s q) reduction of other electron transfer… Show more

“…There is little argument that mitochondria contain bioactive NO— they do, as determined by the presence and formation of nitrosyl heme and copper [23], nitrated proteins [24], and S-nitrosothiols [25] as well as by SNO clearance or denitrosylating mechanisms [26]. …”

“…Later on this reaction was reinvestigated by Cooper et al [41] and Giuffrè et al [42], using a pulsed ( fast ) preparation of CcOX. The pulsing procedure that in vitro consists in preliminary reduction-reoxidation of CcOX [43], removes chloride from the oxidized active site of the enzyme thereby allowing fast reaction with NO [42]; indeed, CcOX is expectedly in the pulsed state in vivo where CcOX turnover takes place continuously.…”

“…As a matter of fact, these standard culture conditions favor the overall accumulation of the CcOX intermediates P , F and O [29, 41, 42, 58]; these are the species responsible for the NO oxidation to nitrite. Consistently, upon rapid and efficient scavenging of bulk NO, respiration is promptly recovered.…”

“…Contrary to the simple on/off mechanism observed in the competitive model, bound • NO reduces the enzyme and is itself oxidized to NO 2 − . Enzyme inhibition is reverted by dissociation of NO 2 − upon further reduction [88, 89]. This uncompetitive inhibition mechanism is favored by high [O 2 ] and low turnover and its main biological role seems to be to consume • NO, thus shaping • NO concentration dynamics in the tissue [90, 91].…”
