Tissue-specific cytochrome c oxidase assembly defects due to mutations in SCO2 and SURF1

Abstract: The biogenesis of eukaryotic COX (cytochrome c oxidase) requires several accessory proteins in addition to structural subunits and prosthetic groups. We have analysed the assembly state of COX and SCO2 protein levels in various tissues of six patients with mutations in SCO2 and SURF1. SCO2 is a copper-binding protein presumably involved in formation of the Cu(A) centre of the COX2 subunit. The function of SURF1 is unknown. Immunoblot analysis of native gels demonstrated that COX holoenzyme is reduced to 10-20%… Show more

“…Studies with fibroblasts from patients with mutant Cox10 or Cox15 reveal limited accumulation of the free Cox1 subunit (1,2). In contrast, CcO-deficient patients with mutations in SURF1 revealed a Cox1 assembly intermediate with two nuclear CcO subunits, CoxIV and Va (equivalent to yeast subunits Cox5a and Cox6) (39,43,47). One interpretation of these results is that heme a insertion may be necessary for formation or stabilization of the S2 intermediate.…”

“…For example, SCO1 and SCO2 mutant fibroblasts, both of which are required for COX2 maturation, accumulate the S2 intermediate (29,36). In the hCOA3-silenced cells, the accumulation of the S2 intermediate indicates hCOA3 is a COX assembly factor involved in the first steps of the assembly process, probably facilitating the incorporation of COX subunits to COX1-containing intermediates.…”

“…One intermediate, designated S2, which accumulates in SURF1-deficient patient fibroblasts, consists of Cox1 in association with two nuclear CcO subunits, CoxIV and Va (38,45,47). A similar stalled assembly intermediate accumulates in CcO-deficient patients with mutations in two other assembly factors, SCO1 and SCO2.…”
