To probe the functional and structural diversity of eukaryotic respiration, we examined the respiratory chain of the ciliate (Tt). Using cryo-electron microscopy on a mixed sample, we solved structures of a supercomplex between Tt complex I (Tt-CI) and Tt-CIII (Tt-SC I+III) and a structure of Tt-CIV. Tt-SC I+III (~2.3 megadaltons) is a curved assembly with structural and functional symmetry breaking. Tt-CIV is a ~2.7-megadalton dimer with more than 50 subunits per protomer, including mitochondrial carriers and a TIM8-TIM13-like domain. Our structural and functional study of the respiratory chain reveals divergence in key components of eukaryotic respiration, thereby expanding our understanding of core metabolism. |
