ab198590 staining COX4+COX4L2 in WI38 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab198590 at 1/100 dilution (shown in green) and ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at 2μg/ml (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Supplementary information

The COX4 protein also known as Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 along with its isoform COX4L2 forms part of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. COX4 has a molecular mass of approximately 20.8 kDa and is found in various tissues especially in high-energy-demand organs like the heart and liver. Both COX4 and COX4L2 belong to the inner mitochondrial membrane and play a role in the enzyme complex Cytochrome c oxidase essential for efficient cellular respiration.
Biological function summary

COX4 and COX4L2 contribute to the terminal stage of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. They form core components of the Cytochrome c oxidase complex also called complex IV which facilitates the transfer of electrons from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. This process not only aids in the production of water but also helps create the proton gradient used by ATP synthase to generate ATP the primary energy currency in cells.

Pathways

Both COX4 and COX4L2 integrate into key metabolic pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation and the respiratory chain. Their role in the electron transport chain connects them to other mitochondrial proteins like cytochrome c and ATP synthase. This collaboration is important for the efficient conversion of nutrients into usable cellular energy supporting essential metabolic functions.

Disruptions in the function of COX4 and COX4L2 relate to conditions such as mitochondrial myopathy and Leigh syndrome. Mutations or deficiencies in these proteins can impair electron transport and reduce ATP generation leading to muscle weakness or neurodegenerative symptoms. Cytochrome c and other components of the electron transport chain often exhibit related dysfunctions in these mitochondrial diseases.

Target data

Component of the cytochrome c oxidase, the last enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain which drives oxidative phosphorylation. The respiratory chain contains 3 multisubunit complexes succinate dehydrogenase (complex II, CII), ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (cytochrome b-c1 complex, complex III, CIII) and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV, CIV), that cooperate to transfer electrons derived from NADH and succinate to molecular oxygen, creating an electrochemical gradient over the inner membrane that drives transmembrane transport and the ATP synthase. Cytochrome c oxidase is the component of the respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Electrons originating from reduced cytochrome c in the intermembrane space (IMS) are transferred via the dinuclear copper A center (CU(A)) of subunit 2 and heme A of subunit 1 to the active site in subunit 1, a binuclear center (BNC) formed by heme A3 and copper B (CU(B)). The BNC reduces molecular oxygen to 2 water molecules using 4 electrons from cytochrome c in the IMS and 4 protons from the mitochondrial matrix.
