Abstract Cytochromec oxidase ofParacoccus denitrificans is spectroscopically and functionally very similar to the mammalian enzyme. However, it has a very much simpler quaternary structure, consisting of only three subunits instead of the 13 of the bovine enzyme. The known primary structure of theParacoccus denitrificans subunits, the knowledge of a large number of sequences from other species, and data on the controlled proteolytic digestion of the enzyme allow structural restrictions to be placed on the models describing the binding of the active metal centers to the polypeptide structure.
