Here, we characterize the cyt -II from , a member of a hitherto uncharacterized evolutionary group (qOR-2) of oxidases, by combining biochemical studies with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and multiscale simulations. Overexpressing the operon in its native host led to production of a highly active -II ( = 30 e s) that together with a high-resolution (2.8 Å) cryo-EM structure and multiscale simulations reveal unique proton pathways and oxygen channels responsible for its function. We propose that a pH-dependent molecular switch, involving coordination changes of heme and surrounding bulky residues regulate substrate access into the active site. Taken together, our findings provide detailed mechanistic insight of qOR-2 type oxidases, and a basis for understanding the evolution of the superfamily. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
