In this study we have combined the use of site-directed mutants with time-resolved optical absorption spectroscopy to investigate the role of the protonatable subunit-I residues lysine-362 (K(I-362)) and threonine-359 (T(I-359)) in cytochrome c oxidase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in electron and proton transfer. These residues have been proposed to be part of a proton-transfer pathway ill cytochrome oxidases from Paracoccus denitrificans and bovine heart. Mutation of K(I-362) and T(I-359) to methionine and alanine, respectively, results in reduction of the overall turnover activities to
