Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information overexpression of subunit Vb increases COX activity and decreases reactive oxygen species production in wild-type HeLa-20 cells, along with some increase in tolerance to hyperoxia Homo sapiens

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
COX subunit Vb open reading frame ligated into the pcDNA3.1/V5-His TOPO-TA expression vector and transfected into TOP10 Escherichia coli. Overexpression in HeLa-20 cells Homo sapiens

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
siRNA small interfering RNA against Vb selectively lowers COX Vb expression in HeLa-80 cells, increases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, decreases COX activity 60-80%, and diminishes viability under 80% (but not 20%) O2 Homo sapiens

HeLa-80 cell cells proliferate under 80% O2. Under both 20% and 80% O2, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production is 2fold less in HeLa-80 cells than in wild-type HeLa cells, related to a 2fold higher cytochrome-c oxidase activity. Elevated enzyme activity is associated with a 2fold increase in the regulatory subunit Vb. Treatment with siRNA against subunit Vb lowers its expression, increases mitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species, decreases enzyme activity by 60-80% and diminishes viability under 80% O2 Homo sapiens

HeLa-80 cell elevated COX activity in the oxygen-tolerant HeLa-80 cells, associated with a more than 2fold increase in the regulatory subunit COX Vb, whereas expression levels of other subunits are very close to wild-type HeLa-20 cells Homo sapiens
