Abstract excerpt
Members of the Sco protein family are implicated in the assembly of the respiratory complex cytochrome c oxidase. Several possible roles have been proposed for Sco: a copper delivery agent, a site-specific thiol reductase, and an indicator of cellular redox status. Two cysteine residues (C45 and C49) in the sequence CXXXCP and a histidine (H135) approximately 90 residues toward the C-terminus are conserved in Sco...
