摘要
The plant mitochondrial protein alternative oxidase catalyses dioxygen dependent ubiquinol oxidation to yield ubiquinone and water. A structure of this protein has previously been proposed based on an assumed structural homology to the di-iron carboxylate family of proteins. However, these authors suggested the protein has a very different topology than the known structures of di-iron carboxylate proteins. We have reexamined this model and based on comparison of recent sequences and structural data on di-iron carboxylate proteins we present a new model of the alternative oxidase which allows prediction of active site residues and a possible membrane binding motif.
