Function
[QCR10_BOVIN] This is a component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This protein may be closely linked to the iron-sulfur protein in the complex and function as an iron-sulfur protein binding factor. [CYB_BOVIN] Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is a respiratory chain that generates an electrochemical potential coupled to ATP synthesis. [UCRI_BOVIN] Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is a respiratory chain that generates an electrochemical potential coupled to ATP synthesis. The transit peptide of the Rieske protein seems to form part of the bc1 complex and is considered to be the subunit 11/IX of that complex. [QCR2_BOVIN] This is a component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The core protein 2 is required for the assembly of the complex. [QCR6_BOVIN] This is a component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This protein may mediate formation of the complex between cytochromes c and c1. [QCR1_BOVIN] This is a component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This protein may mediate formation of the complex between cytochromes c and c1. [CY1_BOVIN] This is the heme-containing component of the cytochrome b-c1 complex, which accepts electrons from Rieske protein and transfers electrons to cytochrome c in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. [QCR9_BOVIN] This is a component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex (complex III or cytochrome b-c1 complex), which is part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. This subunit interacts with cytochrome c1.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Ubiquinol cytochrome c oxido-reductase (EC. 1.10.2.2, bc1) is an integral membrane protein complex essential to cellular respiration. Structures of the 11-subunit mitochondrial bc1 complex were determined with and without the fungicide famoxadone. Specific inhibition by famoxadone is achieved through a coordinated optimization of aromatic-aromatic interactions where conformational rearrangements in famoxadone and in residues lining the inhibitor-binding pocket produce a network of aromatic-aromatic interactions that mimic the crystal lattice of benzene. The profound aromatic-aromatic interactions as supported by prior mutagenesis provide a structural basis for specific protein-ligand interaction in a hydrophobic environment. Dramatic conformational changes, both in cyt. b and ISP subunits in the inhibitor-protein complex, confer experimental evidence for a functional role of cytochrome b in the induced conformational arrest of ISP and allow the identification of a possible intrasubunit signal transduction pathway that controls the movement of ISP. These results support an inhibitory mechanism that is consistent with the requirement for ISP movement in the electron transfer of this complex.
