Abstract

The topology of several of the cytoplasmically made subunits of beef heart cytochrome c oxidase has been determined by protease digestion of oriented membrane preparations, using subunit-specific antibodies to identify cleavage products. Reconstituted vesicles of cytochrome c oxidase and asolectin were used as a vesicle preparation with the C domain of the enzyme available for protease digestion. Submitochondrial particles were used as vesicles with the M domain outermost. Trypsin and/or proteinase K cleaved polypeptides CIV, ASA, AED, STA, and IHQ. Cleavage of CIV, STA, and IHQ was from the M domains only and involved the removal of a fragment from the N-terminus in each case. Polypeptide AED was cleaved from the C side in the N-terminal part, while ASA was cleaved from both the C and M domains. Polypeptide fragments were electroblotted from polyacrylamide gels onto derivatized glass paper and sites of proteolytic cleavage determined by N-terminal sequence analysis.
