Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) reacted with beef heart cytochromecoxidase to inhibit the proton-pumping function of this enzyme and to a lesser extent to inhibit electron transfer. The modification of cytochromecoxidase in detergent dispersion or in vesicular membranes was in subunits II–IV. Labelling followed by fragmentation studies showed that there is one major site of modification in subunit III. DCCD was also incorporated into several sites in subunit II and at least one site in subunit IV. The major site in subunit III has a specificity for DCCD at least one order of magnitude greater than that of other sites (in subunits II and IV). Its modification could account for all of the observed effects of the reagent, at least for low concentrations of DCCD. Labelling of subunit II by DCCD was blocked by prior covalent attachment of arylazidocytochromec, a cytochromecderivative which binds to the high-affinity binding site for the substrate. The major site of DCCD binding in subunit III was sequenced. The label was found in glutamic acid 90 which is in a sequence of eight amino acids remarkably similar to the DCCD-binding site within the proteolipid protein of the mitochondrial ATP synthetase.
