A cytochrome-c(cytc) oxidase supercomplex consisting of 7–8 subunits and possessing a mass of 358–425 kDa was purified fromBradyrhizobium japonicumbacteroid membranes. At least two subunits possessc-type heme as a prosthetic group. One of thec-heme-containing components was detected in bacteroid membranes, but not in free-living cells. The complex also containsb-heme, and bothb-type andc-type heme proteins were spectrophotometrically shown to form complexes with carbon monoxide. A CO difference spectrum showed an absorption minimum (trough) at 551.7 nm, possibly corresponding to a previously described cytc-552 in bacteroid membranes. 1 mM quinacrine (Atebrin) had no effect on O2uptake by the cytochrome-coxidase complex, but 10 mM inhibited O2uptake by 90%. Cytochromesbandc1of the cytochromebc1respiratory complex were identified as two of the components of the bacteroid complex based upon immunoreaction with antibodies against these two proteins fromB. japonicum. The oxidase complex oxidized exogenously added horse heart ferrocytochromecconcomitant with the uptake of oxygen. It could also oxidize the artificial electron donorN,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine in the absence of added cytochromec. Oxygen uptake activity was completely inhibited by 10 μM NaCN and 38% by 0.1 μM NaCN. The oxidase complex was not able to oxidize a ubiquinol homolog possessing a single isoprenoid unit side chain. Solubilization of bacteroid membranes in the presence of 1.0 mM EDTA resulted in complete loss of cytochrome-coxidase activity. Leghemoglobin deoxygenation data indicated that the oxidase complex can efficiently function at free oxygen concentrations well below 1.0 μM, even though attempts to determine the oxidase's specific affinity for oxygen were unsuccessful due to the formation of oxidized leghemoglobin derivatives.
