Crystal structure of the Leishmania major peroxidase-cytochrome c complex.
The causative agent of leishmaniasis is the protozoan parasite Leishmania major. Part of the host protective mechanism is the production of reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide. In response, L. major produces a peroxidase, L. major peroxidase (LmP), that helps to protect the parasite from oxidative stress. LmP is a heme peroxidase that catalyzes the peroxidation of mitochondrial ...
متن کاملStudies on Cytochrome c Peroxidase
Apoproteins of cytochrome c peroxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and sperm whale myoglobin were recombined with manganese complexes of proto-, hemato-, meso-, and deuteroporphyrins to form manganese porphyrin-protein complexes. These complexes were purified by column chromatography. All the manganese porphyrin-containing cytochrome c peroxidases were crystallized. Light absorption maxima of mang...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of cytochrome c peroxidase.
The three-dimensional conformation of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase has been determined from a 2.5 A electron density map computed with phases obtained from two isomorphous mercury derivatives. Partial sequence information that has recently become available aided in completion of the tracing of the polypeptide backbone, confirmed the presence of a proximal histidine heme ligand and aided in ide...
متن کاملIn-silico Assessment of Protein-Protein Electron Transfer. A Case Study: Cytochrome c Peroxidase – Cytochrome c
The fast development of software and hardware is notably helping in closing the gap between macroscopic and microscopic data. Using a novel theoretical strategy combining molecular dynamics simulations, conformational clustering, ab-initio quantum mechanics and electronic coupling calculations, we show how computational methodologies are mature enough to provide accurate atomistic details into ...
متن کاملCrystal structure and characterization of a cytochrome c peroxidase-cytochrome c site-specific cross-link.
A specific covalently cross-linked complex between redox partners yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and cytochrome c (cyt. c) has been made by engineering cysteines into CCP and cyt. c that form an intermolecular disulfide bond in high yield. The crystal structure of the cross-linked complex has been solved to 1.88-A resolution and closely resembles the structure of the noncovalent complex [P...
