COXFA4L3 enhances mitochondrial complex IV function to boost ATP synthesis and drive sperm motility.

COXFA4L3 is a testis-specific cytochrome c oxidase subunit that enhances mitochondrial complex IV activity during spermatogenesis. From the analysis of Coxfa4l3 knockout mice, the isoform switch from COXFA4 to COXFA4L3 may increase the potential COX activity, although this activity does not appear in the testis. This latent enhancement becomes evident in sperm, where COXFA4L3 promotes higher respiratory capacity, increasing sperm motility and ATP production. These findings indicate that COXFA4L3 is a key regulator of mitochondrial energy metabolism and may provide insights into the mechanisms underlying male infertility.

Subunits of cytochrome a-type terminal oxidases derived from Thiobacillus novellus and Nitrobacter agilis.

Cytochrome a-type terminal oxidases derived from Thiobacillus novellus and Nitrobacter agilis have been purified to a homogeneous state as judged from their electrophoretic behavior and their subunit structures studied by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The T. novellus enzyme is composed of two kinds of subunits of 32,000 and 23,000 daltons and its minimum molecular weight is 55,000 on the basis of heme content and amino acid composition. The N. agilis enzyme also has two kinds of subunits of 40,000 and 27,000 daltons and its minimum molecular weight is 66,000 on the basis of heme content and amino acid composition. Therefore, the molecule of each enzyme is composed of two kinds of subunits which resemble the subunits of the eukaryotic cytochrome oxidase biosynthesized in the mitochondrion at least with respect to molecular weight.
