Gene Description

CcoP1 (PA1552) is the diheme cytochrome c subunit (CcoP/FixP family) of the cbb3-1 cytochrome c oxidase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the isoform that is abundant in well-aerated cultures. The 318-residue protein is anchored in the inner membrane by two N-terminal transmembrane helices and carries two periplasmic c-type heme domains. Within the CcoNOQP complex it accepts electrons from donor cytochromes and passes them via CcoO to the heme b3-CuB centre of CcoN, where oxygen is reduced and protons are pumped, so it contributes to terminal oxidase activity in aerobic respiration without carrying a catalytic site of its own.

GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: True for this leaf as a contribution to cbb3 oxidase activity, but the PTN002435498 node is a broad c-type cytochrome clade and rests only on the two P. aeruginosa CcoP rows.
Reason: CcoP1 is a subunit of the cbb3-1 oxidase (TIGR00782 ccoP, FixP_N plus two cytochrome c domains), so the activity belongs to the complex it is part of; core_functions records it as contributes_to. Q9I3G5 in its own WITH/FROM marks one of the two seeds, which is expected. The node is another matter. Its 32 leaves include soluble cytochromes c4 (P. aeruginosa cc4 P00106, Neisseria, Vibrio, Shewanella, Xanthomonas), cytochromes c552/c554, the bc1-complex cytochrome c subunit QcrC of M. tuberculosis and Streptomyces, and PvcD; none of these is a cytochrome c oxidase subunit. Both seeds are the same operon-level PseudoCAP IMP, so the IBD does not stand on independent evidence (GO_CENTRAL defect below, recorded once for this node; ccoP2 cross-references it).

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is unusual in possessing two operons that each potentially encode a cbb3 oxidase (cbb3-1 or cbb3-2).

ACCEPT
Summary: Comolli and Donohue 2004 compared the two cbb3 isoforms; loss of cbb3-1 affected growth at high aeration. The same IMP is on all eight cbb3 subunits.
Reason: The claim that CcoP1 is part of the cbb3-1 cytochrome c oxidase is right and is the gene's core role, so the term is accepted. The qualifier is not. The abstract describes loss of each oxidase isoform, not a ccoP-specific mutant, and same-day PseudoCAP rows apply the identical IMP to CcoN, CcoO, CcoQ and CcoP of both operons. CcoP feeds electrons to the catalytic CcoN subunit, so it contributes to the activity rather than enabling it alone; filed as a qualifier defect at PROBABLE (abstract only).
Supporting Evidence:

In highly aerated cultures, cbb3-1 abundance and expression were greater than that of cbb3-2, and only loss of cbb3-1 influenced growth.
GO:0005506 iron ion binding

GO_REF:0000002
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: The iron of CcoP is heme iron, already captured by heme binding.
Reason: The cytochrome c class I mapping adds iron ion binding, but CcoP binds iron only as heme c, covalently attached to CXXCH motifs; heme binding (GO:0020037) is the informative term and is already annotated.

Summary: Correct but general; CcoP works in the aerobic electron transport chain.
Reason: As an electron-transfer subunit of a terminal oxidase, CcoP acts in the aerobic electron transport chain (GO:0019646), which is part_of oxidative phosphorylation.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Inferred from the oxidase MF; proton pumping is done by the complex at the CcoN subunit.
Reason: The cbb3 complex pumps protons, and CcoP as a subunit takes part in the complex's electron flow, but CcoP itself has no proton channel. Kept as non-core participation through the complex.

Q: Can the cbb3-1 and cbb3-2 subunits form hybrid complexes (for example CcoN1 with CcoP2), and does CcoP isoform identity change donor specificity?
