Supplementary information

The COX15 protein also known as heme A:farnesyltransferase (protein of mass approximately 46 kDa) plays an important role in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. COX15 contributes to the biosynthesis of heme A an essential cofactor for cytochrome c oxidase also called complex IV which is the last enzyme in the electron transport chain of mitochondria. COX15 is highly expressed in tissues with high energy demands like heart and muscles due to their dependence on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
Biological function summary

COX15 is integral for the assembly and function of cytochrome c oxidase as it facilitates the conversion of heme O to heme A making it a critical component in the terminal step of electron transport in mitochondria. It forms part of a complex enzymatic machinery that ensures the generation of cellular ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. The presence of COX15 is necessary for the efficient assembly of cytochrome c oxidase which is important for cellular energy production.

Pathways

COX15 significantly impacts the electron transport chain and plays a pivotal role in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. It maintains a close association with other subunits of cytochrome c oxidase enabling efficient electron transfer and proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Proteins like COX10 and SURF1 collaborate within these pathways to ensure proper formation and activity of the cytochrome c oxidase complex influencing both energetic metabolism and apoptosis regulation.

COX15 mutations have been linked to mitochondrial disorders such as Leigh syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These conditions result from compromised electron transport chain functionality leading to impaired energy generation and increased oxidative stress. The connection between COX15 and SURF1 another protein involved in cytochrome c oxidase assembly is significant as defects in these proteins often result in overlapping clinical features in mitochondrial diseases. Researchers actively study COX15 to understand its role in these pathologies better and investigate potential therapeutic approaches.

Target data

Catalyzes the second reaction in the biosynthesis of heme A, a prosthetic group of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) (PubMed : 12474143). Heme A is synthesized from heme B by two sequential enzymatic reactions catalyzed by heme O synthase (HOS) and heme A synthase (HAS). HAS catalyzes the conversion of heme O to heme A by two successive hydroxylations of the methyl group at C8, in a reaction that involves matrix ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. The first hydroxylation forms heme I, the second hydroxylation results in an unstable dihydroxymethyl group, which spontaneously dehydrates, resulting in the formyl group of heme A (By similarity).
