EC 1.10.3.12 Details
EC number
1.10.3.12
Accepted name
menaquinol oxidase (H+-transporting)
Reaction
2 menaquinol + O2 = 2 menaquinone + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
cytochrome aa3-600 oxidase,
cytochrome bd oxidase,
menaquinol:O2 oxidoreductase (H+-transporting)
Systematic name
menaquinol:oxygen oxidoreductase (H+-transporting)
Comment
Cytochrome aa3-600, one of the principal respiratory oxidases from Bacillus subtilis, is a member of the heme-copper superfamily of oxygen reductases, and is a close homologue of the cytochrome bo3 ubiquinol oxidase from Escherichia coli, but uses menaquinol instead of ubiquinol as a substrate.The enzyme also pumps protons across the membrane bilayer, generating a proton motive force.
