Abstract excerpt
The respiratory cytochrome bc1 complex functions as a protonmotive ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase. Lysine 228 (K228) located within the quinol reduction (Qi) site of the bc1 complex, has been reported as a key residue for proton transfer during the redox chemistry cycle to substrate quinone at Qi. In yeast, while single mutations had no effect, the combination of K228L and F225L resulted in a severe...
