The cDNAs of subunit VIa of cytochrome c oxidase from rainbow trout liver and carp heart are presented, revealing 82% identity of their deduced amino acid sequences. The two cDNAs are evolutionary equally distant from the livertype (VIaL) and heart-type (VIaH) of mammalian subunit VIa. The data suggest that in ectotherm fishes no isoforms of subunit VIa occur, and that the postulated tissue-specific mechanism of thermogenesis in mammals, based on interaction of ATP with subunit VIaH (Frank, V. and Kadenbach, B. (1996) FEBS Lett. 382, 121-124), is absent.
本文展示了虹鳟鱼肝和鲤鱼心脏中细胞色素c氧化酶亚基VIa的cDNA,其推导的氨基酸序列显示出82%的同一性。这两个cDNA在进化上与哺乳动物亚基VIa的肝型(VIaL)和心脏型(VIaH)距离相等。数据表明,在变温鱼类中不存在亚基VIa的同工型,并且基于ATP与亚基VIaH相互作用的哺乳动物中假定的组织特异性产热机制(Frank, V.和Kadenbach, B. (1996) FEBS Lett. 382, 121 - 124)并不存在。
