We partially purified and characterized the cytochrome aa3 from the facultatively aerobic and hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrobaculum oguniense. This cytochrome aa3 showed oxygen consumption activity with N, N, N′, N′-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine and ascorbate as substrates, and also displayed bovine cytochrome c oxidase activity. These enzymatic activities of cytochrome aa3 were inhibited by cyanide and azide. This cytochrome contained heme As, but not typical heme A. An analysis of trypsin-digested fragments indicated that 1 subunit of this cytochrome was identical to the gene product of subunit I of the SoxM-type heme – copper oxidase (poxC). This is the first report of a terminal oxidase in hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon belonging to the order Thermoproteales.Key words: aerobic respiratory chain, terminal oxidase, Archaea, hyperthermophile, Pyrobaculum.

Abstract Background: To describe the effect of mechanical ventilation on diaphragm mitochondrial oxygen consumption, ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and cytochrome-c oxidase activity and content, and their relationship to diaphragm strength in an experimental model of sepsis.Methods: A cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) protocol was performed in 12 rats while 12 controls underwent sham-operation. Half of the rats in each group were paralyzed and mechanically ventilated. We performed blood gas analysis and lactic acid assays 6 hours after surgery. Afterwards, we measured diaphragm strength and mitochondrial oxygen consumption, ATP and ROS generation, and cytochrome-c oxidase activity. We also measured malondialdehyde (MDA) content as an index of lipid peroxidation, and mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in diaphragms.Results: CLP rats showed severe hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and upregulation of diaphragm IL-1β mRNA expression. Compared to sham controls, spontaneously breathing CLP rats showed lower diaphragm force and increased susceptibility to fatigue, along with depressed mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production and cytochrome-c oxidase activity. These rats also showed increased mitochondrial ROS generation and MDA content. Mechanical ventilation markedly restored mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production in CLP rats; lowered mitochondrial ROS production by the complex 3; and preserved cytochrome-c oxidase activity.Conclusion: In an experimental model of sepsis, early initiation of mechanical ventilation restores diaphragm mitochondrial function.

AbstractCardiolipin (CL) is a lipid that is found in the membranes of bacteria and the inner membranes of mitochondria. CL can increase the activity of integral membrane proteins, in particular components of respiratory pathways. We here report that CL activated detergent-solubilized cytochrome bd, a terminal oxidase from Escherichia coli. CL enhanced the oxygen consumption activity ~ twofold and decreased the apparent KM value for ubiquinol-1 as substrate from 95 µM to 35 µM. Activation by CL was also observed for cytochrome bd from two Gram-positive species, Geobacillus thermodenitrificans and Corynebacterium glutamicum, and for cytochrome bo3 from E. coli. Taken together, CL can enhance the activity of detergent-solubilized cytochrome bd and cytochrome bo3.
