Cytochrome c
How is it made? Cytochrome c is synthesized from two inactive precursor molecules: apocytochrome c (a protein that is encoded by a nuclear gene and imported into mitochondria) and heme (which is synthesized in mitochondria). The covalent attachment of apocytochrome c to heme is catalyzed by heme lyase and creates cytochrome c, a 14.5 kDa protein that is normally confined to the intermembrane sp...
متن کاملThe cytochrome c binding site on cytochrome c oxidase.
Cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondria respiratory chain catalysing electron transfer from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen [ 1,2]. The molecular mechanism of this process is still not understood. At present, little is known about such important structural features as the position of the prosthetic groups or the location and characteristics of the cytochrom...
متن کاملThe Cytochrome C-cytochrome Oxidase Complex
In the preceding paper the oxidation of substrates by “indophenol oxidase” was demonstrated to be a joint action of cytochrome and cytochrome oxidase. It was further shown that with a given amount of oxidase the velocity of hydroquinone oxidation reached a maximum as the amount of added cytochrome was increased. The latter fact immediately suggested the probability that the rapid aerobic oxidat...
متن کاملReduction and activity of cytochrome c in the cytochrome c-cytochrome aa3 complex.
Uncharged reductants, such as NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine and diaminodurene, reduce cytochrome c at both high and low ionic strength, unlike ascorbate, which is effective only at low ionic strength. The 'tightly bound' cytochrome c-cytochrome c oxidase complex, with 1 equiv. of cytochrome c per cytochrome aa3, can be prepared by simple mixing of the two component species. Its properti...
