Abstract
The amino acid sequence of polypeptide II from beef heart cytochrome c oxidase [EC 1.9.3.1] is described. Comparision of this primary structure with those of azurins, plastocyanins and stellacyanins reveals clear homologies among them. Thus, subunit II of the oxidase is a member of this Cu protein family. The sequence homology indicates a Cu binding site consisting of 2 invariant histidines and 2 S-containing amino acids. Subunit II apparently is like a blue Cu protein with type I Cu.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
