Abstract
Data are presented on three components of the quinol oxidation branch of theParacoccus respiratory chain: cytochromec reductase, cytochromec 552, and thea-type terminal oxidase. Deletion mutants in thebc 1 and theaa 3 complex give insight into electron pathways, assembly processes, and stability of both redox complexes, and, moreover, are an important prerequisite for future site-directed mutagenesis experiments. In addition, evidence for a role of cytochromec 552 in electron transport between complex III and IV is presented.
