Axial coordination of heme in ferric CcmE chaperone characterized by EPR spectroscopy.
In Escherichia coli cytochrome c maturation requires a set of eight proteins including the heme chaperone CcmE, which binds heme transiently, yet covalently. Several variants of CcmE were purified and analyzed by continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance, electron nuclear double resonance, and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy to investigate the heme axial coordination. Results ...
متن کاملAxial Coordination of Ferric Aplysia
Resonance Raman spectra of ferric Aplysia myoglobin in the ligand-free and the azide-bound forms have been studied over a wide pH range to determine the coordination states of the heme iron atom. In the hydroxide form at high pH (-9) the iron is six-coordinate and is in a high/low spin equilibrium. As the pH is lowered below the acid/alkaline transition (pK, = 7.5), the heme becomes five-coordi...
متن کاملDynamic ligation properties of the Escherichia coli heme chaperone CcmE to non-covalently bound heme.
The cytochrome c maturation protein CcmE is an essential membrane-anchored heme chaperone involved in the post-translational covalent attachment of heme to c-type cytochromes in Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Previous in vitro studies have shown that CcmE can bind heme both covalently (via a histidine residue) and non-covalently. In this work we present results on the latter f...
متن کاملPhysical interaction of CcmC with heme and the heme chaperone CcmE during cytochrome c maturation.
Biogenesis of c-type cytochromes requires the covalent attachment of heme to the apoprotein. In Escherichia coli, this process involves eight membrane proteins encoded by the ccmABCDEFGH operon. CcmE binds heme covalently and transfers it to apocytochromes c in the presence of other Ccm proteins. CcmC is necessary and sufficient to incorporate heme into CcmE. Here, we report that the CcmC prote...
متن کاملBiochemical and mutational characterization of the heme chaperone CcmE reveals a heme binding site.
CcmE is a heme chaperone that binds heme transiently in the periplasm of Escherichia coli and delivers it to newly synthesized and exported c-type cytochromes. The chemical nature of the covalent bond between heme and H130 is not known. We have purified soluble histidine-tagged CcmE and present its spectroscopic characteristics in the visible range. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of conserved ami...
