Function

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.

Activity summary

COX5A also known as Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 5A plays a role in the electron transport chain which is essential in cellular respiration. This protein has a mass of about 17 kDa and is part of the mitochondrial inner membrane. COX5A is expressed in most tissues given its importance in energy production. It is homologous across species indicating evolutionary conservation and a fundamental biological role.

Biological function summary

COX5A functions as a component of the cytochrome c oxidase complex also known as Complex IV in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This complex catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water facilitating ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation. The assembly of cytochrome c oxidase involves several subunits and COX5A contributes to the structural integrity and regulation of this complex. It helps maintain efficient electron flow and energy conversion supporting high-energy demand processes within cells.

Pathways

COX5A is an important player in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. This pathway is critical for ATP production linking electron transfer with proton transport and chemiosmotic coupling. COX5A interacts with proteins like cytochrome c and other subunits of Complex IV to ensure proper function and energy conversion. The protein is also involved in cellular responses to hypoxia where it helps modulate oxygen utilization.

Associated diseases and disorders

COX5A has connections to conditions related to impaired energy metabolism such as mitochondrial disorders like MELAS syndrome. Defects or insufficiencies in COX5A contribute to decreased mitochondrial function impacting tissues with high metabolic rates. The protein also relates to neurodegenerative diseases through its effect on mitochondrial stability and function. Its activity may influence disease progression by interacting with proteins that regulate mitochondrial dynamics such as others in the electron transport chain.
