Atomic structures of respiratory complex III2, complex IV, and supercomplex III2-IV from vascular plants
Open accessAbstract
Mitochondrial complex III (CIII 2 ) and complex IV (CIV), which can associate into a higher-order supercomplex (SC III 2 +IV), play key roles in respiration. However, structures of these plant complexes remain unknown. We present atomic models of CIII 2 , CIV, and SC III 2 +IV from Vigna radiata determined by single-particle cryoEM. The structures reveal plant-specific differences in the MPP domain of CIII 2 and define the subunit composition of CIV. Conformational heterogeneity analysis of CIII 2 revealed long-range, coordinated movements across the complex, as well as the motion of CIII 2 ’s iron-sulfur head domain. The CIV structure suggests that, in plants, proton translocation does not occur via the H channel. The supercomplex interface differs significantly from that in yeast and bacteria in its interacting subunits, angle of approach and limited interactions in the mitochondrial matrix. These structures challenge long-standing assumptions about the plant complexes and generate new mechanistic hypotheses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
