There are eight and 16 different subunits in the bacterial and bovine enzymes, respectively. Subunits are accommodated according to their corresponding homologs. For example, E. coli δ and ε correspond to bovine OSCP and δ, respectively. Corresponding subunit stoichiometries are indicated as superscripts. The enzyme from yeast (S. cerevisiae) contains at least three additional subunits, namely i, j, and k.
