7.1.1.3 malfunction deletion of the cydAB genes for cytochrome bd has no obvious influence on growth, whereas the lack of the cyoBACD genes for cytochrome bo3 severely reduced the growth rate and the cell yield 725289 7.1.1.3 malfunction loss of cytochrome bd-I oxidase subunit II (gene cydB) causes diminished respiration rates, impaired motility and enhanced acid resistance. CydB cells contain elevated heme d, particularly at low pH. The GABA/glutamate gadC antiporter is highly up-regulated in cydB cells. Eschrichia coli can compensate for the loss of cytochrome bd-I activity -, 715509 7.1.1.3 metabolism Gluconobacter oxydans oxidizes a variety of substrates in the periplasm by membrane-bound dehydrogenases, which transfer the reducing equivalents to ubiquinone. Two quinol oxidases, cytochrome bo3 and cytochrome bd, then catalyze transfer of the electrons from ubiquinol to molecular oxygen 725289 7.1.1.3 physiological function cytochrome bd-II-mediated quinol oxidation prevents the accumulation of NADH, whereas GABA synthesis/antiport maintains the proton motive force for ATP production -, 715509 7.1.1.3 physiological function cytochrome bo is a four-subunit quinol oxidase in the aerobic respiratory chain of Escherichia coli and functions as a redox-coupled proton pump -, 714141, 715399 7.1.1.3 physiological function cytochrome bo-type ubiquinol oxidase in the aerobic respiratory chain of Escherichia coli catalyzes the reduction of dioxygen to water with ubiquinol-8, and utilizes the redox reactions to drive vectorial translocation of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane -, 715000 7.1.1.3 physiological function cytochrome bo3 might be a rate-limiting factor of the respiratory chain 725289 7.1.1.3 physiological function cytochrome bo3 ubiquinol oxidase from Escherichia coli is a four-subunit heme-copper oxidase that catalyzes the four-electron reduction of O2 to water and functions as a proton pump 716311 7.1.1.3 physiological function cytochrome bo3 ubiquinol oxidase serves as part of a proton loading site that regulates proton translocation across the protein matrix of the enzyme 714169 7.1.1.3 physiological function in respiratory mutants, both O2-consumption and aerobic growth are severely impaired by sulfide when respiration is sustained by the bo3 oxidase alone 752188 7.1.1.3 physiological function in respiratory mutants, both O2-consumption and aerobic growth are unaffected by up to 200 microM sulfide when cytochrome bd-I or bd-II enzyme actes as the only terminal oxidase. Wild-type Escherichia coli shows sulfide-insensitive respiration and growth under conditions favouring the expression of bd oxidases 752188 7.1.1.3 physiological function in the absence of the tightly bound quinone, a strongly diminished rate of electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen is detected, which can be restored by adding quinones. The stabilization of the radical is not necessary for the oxygen reaction. The reaction mechanism should involve a one electron transfer step from the quinone radical to the next electron acceptor, the heme b 749941 7.1.1.3 physiological function overexpression of cytochrome c ScyA facilitates growth despite nitrite inhibition by enhancing nitrite resistance of the cbb3 oxidase. ScyA either increases electron flow to the cbb3 oxidase;, or ScyA promotes nitrite resistance of the cbb3 oxidase, possibly by direct interaction 751510 7.1.1.3 physiological function the bo-type ubiquinol oxidase is functioning as a proton pump 714285 7.1.1.3 physiological function the enzyme contributes to oxidative stress resistance and dioxygen tolerance -, 743596 7.1.1.3 physiological function the enzyme is important during murine infection, required for the intracellular growth in air, essential for aerobic respiration and intracellular replication and confers resistance to reactive nitrogen species 742647 7.1.1.3 physiological function the enzyme is important for survival of Mycobacterium smegmatis under peroxide and antibiotic-induced stress -, 743792 7.1.1.3 physiological function the enzyme prevents respiratory inhibition by endogenous and exogenous hydrogen sulfide 743301 7.1.1.3 physiological function the ubiquinol oxidase, cytochrome b03, of Escherichia coli is a member of the respiratory heme-copper oxidase family and conserves energy from the reduction of dioxygen to water by translocation of protons across the bacterial membrane 714135 7.1.1.3 physiological function when cystine is provided and sulfide levels rise, Escherichia coli becomes strictly dependent upon cytochrome bd oxidase for continued respiration. Low-micromolar levels of sulfide inhibit the proton-pumping cytochrome bo oxidase. In the absence of the back-up cytochrome bd oxidase, growth fails. Exogenous sulfide elicits the same effect 743301
