reconstitution of a minimal respiratory chain consisting of pyruvate oxidase and cytochrome d terminal oxidase plus ubiquinone8 incorporated in phospholipid vesicles. The catalytic velocity of the reconstituted liposome system is about 30% of that observed when the flavoprotein is reconstituted with Escherichia coli membranes | Escherichia coli |

---|---|---|
physiological function | electron transport from pyruvate to oxygen in the liposome system generates a trans-membrane potential of at least 180 mV, negative inside, which is sensitive to the uncouplers carbonyl cyanide p-(trichloromethoxy)phenylhydrazone and valinomycin. A transmembrane potential is also generated by the oxidation of ubiquinol 1 by the terminal oxidase in the absence of the flavoprotein. The pyruvate oxidase can directly reduce ubiquinone 8 within the phospholipid bilayer, menaquinone 8 will not effectively substitute for ubiquinone 8 in this electron-transfer chain, and the cytochrome d terminal oxidase functions as a ubiquinol 8 oxidase and serves as a coupling site in the Escherichia coli aerobic respiratory chain | Escherichia coli |
