FAMILY

cytochrome ubiquinol oxidase subunit 2 family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as CYDB_ECOLI, cydB, cyd-2. A terminal oxidase that produces a proton motive force by the vectorial transfer of protons across the inner membrane. It is the component of the aerobic respiratory chain of E.coli that predominates when cells are grown at low aeration. Generates a proton motive force using protons and electrons from opposite sides of the membrane to generate H(2)O, transferring 1 proton/electron. Heterodimer of subunits I and II. Probably interacts with CydX, and overexpressed AppX.
