Abstract
The organisation of the mitochondrial electron transport chain proteins into supercomplexes (SCs) is now undisputed, however their assembly process, or the role of differential expression isoforms, have yet to be determined. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cytochrome c oxidase (CIV) forms SCs of varying stoichiometry with cytochrome bc1 (CIII). Recent studies have revealed, in normoxic condition of growth, an interface made exclusively by Cox5A, the only yeast respiratory protein that exists as one of two isoforms depending on oxygen levels. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of the III2-IV1 and III2-IV2 SCs containing the hypoxic isoform Cox5B solved at 3.4 and 2.8 Å, respectively. We show that the change of isoform doesn’t affect SC formation or activity and that SC stoichiometry is dictated by the level of CIII/CIV biosynthesis. Comparison of the CIV5B and CIV5A-containing SC structures highlighted few differences, mainly found in the region of Cox5. Additional density was revealed in all SCs, independent of CIV isoform, in a pocket formed by Cox1, Cox3, Cox12 and Cox13, away from the CIII-CIV interface. In the CIV5B-containing hypoxic SCs, this could be confidently assigned to the hypoxia-induced gene 1 (Hig1) type 2 protein Rcf2. With conserved residues in mammalian Hig1 proteins and Cox3/Cox12/Cox13 orthologues, we propose that Hig1 type 2 proteins are stoichiometric subunits of CIV, at least when within a III-IV SC.
