Cytochrome c biogenesis System I
Cytochromes c are widespread respiratory proteins characterized by the covalent attachment of heme. The formation of c-type cytochromes requires, in all but a few exceptional cases, the formation of two thioether bonds between the two cysteine sulfurs in a -CXXCH- motif in the protein and the vinyl groups of heme. The vinyl groups of the heme are not particularly activated and therefore the add...
متن کاملProbing Heme Delivery Processes in Cytochrome c Biogenesis System I
Cytochromes c comprise a diverse and widespread family of proteins containing covalently bound heme that are central to the life of most organisms. In many bacteria and in certain mitochondria, the synthesis of cytochromes c is performed by a complex post-translational modification apparatus called System I (or cytochrome c maturation, Ccm, system). In Escherichia coli , there are eight maturat...
متن کاملBiogenesis of eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase.
Eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain is a heterooligomeric complex that belongs to the superfamily of heme-copper containing terminal oxidases. The enzyme, composed of both mitochondrially and nuclear encoded subunits, is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it catalyzes the transfer of electrons form reduced ...
متن کاملBiogenesis of cytochrome c in Neurospora crassa.
1. Precipitating antibodies specific for apocytochrome c and holocytochrome c, respectively, were employed to study synthesis and intracellular transport of cytochrome c in Neurospora in vitro. 2. Apocytochrome c as well as holocytochrome c were found to be synthesized in a cell-free homogenate. A precursor product relationship between the two components is suggested by kinetic experiments. 3. ...
متن کاملBacterial model systems for cytochrome c oxidase biogenesis
Cytochrome c oxidase is the key player in cellular respiration, catalysing the reduction of molecular oxygen to water via its internal heme and copper redox centres. Biogenesis of the enzyme is a complex process involving up to 30 accessory proteins in higher eukaryotes. Factors directly involved in cofactor recruitment and insertion into the two core structural subunits I and II are also prese...
