Abstract:
:The membrane assembly of the respiratory complexes requires the membrane insertases Oxa1 in mitochondria and YidC in bacteria. Oxa1 is responsible for the insertion of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (CoxII). Here, we investigated whether YidC, the bacterial Oxa1 homolog, plays a crucial role in the assembly of the bacterial subunit II (CyoA) of cytochrome bo oxidase. CyoA spans the membrane twice and is made with a cleavable signal peptide. We find that translocation of the short N-terminal domain of CyoA is YidC-dependent. In contrast, both the SecA/SecYEG complex and YidC are required for translocation of the large C-terminal domain. By studying the N-terminal domain of CyoA alone, we find that translocation is unaffected when SecE is depleted, suggesting that the YidC insertase on its own catalyzes membrane insertion of the N-terminal region of CyoA. Strikingly, we find that the translocation of the N-terminal domain is a prerequisite for translocation of the C-terminal domain in the full-length CyoA protein because translocation of the large C-terminal domain alone in a truncated CyoA derivative was observed in the absence of YidC. This work shows that the distinct domains of CyoA have different translocation requirements (YidC only and Sec/YidC) and confirms that the membrane biogenesis of subunit II of cytochrome oxidase in bacteria and mitochondria have conserved features.
