Heme A of Cytochrome c Oxidase
Heme A, isolated from bovine heart muscle by procedures which include extractions into pyridine/ chloroform and two-phase, liquid-liquid chromatography on Celite, has been converted to several derivatives. Examination of the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (PMR) spectra and other properties of these derivatives reveals heme A to be the iron complex of %formyl-6,7-bis(2”-hydroxycarbonylethyl)-...
متن کاملCatalytic properties of peptides with hydrolytic activity.
The functional groups of the amino acids are the tools of catalysis in those enzymes which operate without coenzymes and cofactors [ 1,2]. Among the functional groups of proteins the imidazole, thiol and carboxyl groups are the most interesting ones with respect to their possible role in enzyme catalysis. While the mechanism of action of these groups in monofunctional catalysis has been thoroug...
متن کاملRole of cytochrome c heme lyase in the import of cytochrome c into mitochondria.
The import of cytochrome c into Neurospora crassa mitochondria was examined at distinct stages in vitro. The precursor protein, apocytochrome c, binds to mitochondria with high affinity and specificity but is not transported completely across the outer membrane in the absence of conversion to holocytochrome c. The bound apocytochrome c is accessible to externally added proteases but at the same...
متن کاملCytochrome c heme lyase activity of yeast mitochondria.
A highly efficient in vitro system was established for measuring by high performance liquid chromatography the formation of holocytochrome c by yeast mitochondria. Holocytochrome c formation required reducing agents, of which dithiothreitol was the most effective. With biosynthetically made, pure Drosophila melanogaster apocytochrome c and Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria, the activity of ...
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...
