(Received for publication, January 10, 1995) Escherichia coli pyruvate oxidase, a peripheral
membrane homotetrameric flavoprotein, exposes its C-terminal lipid
binding site in the presence of substrate pyruvate and co-factor
thiamine pyrophosphate Mg

and binds tightly to
phospholipid bilayers during catalysis. Using site-specific disulfide
cross-linking, we demonstrate that disulfide cross-links are formed
between C termini of D560C pyruvate oxidase and that the degree of
cross-linking is greatly increased by the presence of substrate and
co-factors indicating a conformational change that results in
juxtaposition of two subunit C termini. The cross-linked oxidase is
enzymatically active and remains able to associate with lipid micelles.
These results argue strongly that lipid bilayer binding of pyruvate
oxidase involves pairing of the C termini of two subunits.
