چکیده

The homology of Pseudomonas cytochrome c-551 with eukaryotic cytochromes c is examined with a computer-based procedure devised to determine whether similarities exist between these proteins. One method is given by which the more recently evolved cytochromes c might have arisen from the Pseudomonas protein. This procedure involves only common genetic phenomena and accounts for most of the structural differences between the bacterial and mammalian cytochromes. A time-scale relationship between the c-cytochromes from several microorganisms, a mold, yeast, and the eukaryotic organisms is proposed.

Isolation and properties of cytochrome c peroxidase from Pseudomonas denitrificans.

The isolation of cytochrome c peroxidase, cytochrome c4, cytochrome c-551 and azurin from Pseudomonas dentrificans is described. The peroxidase has a molecular weight of 63,000 and an isoelectric point of 5.6. Its absorption spectrum suggests that it contains two haem c groups/molecule. Preliminary steady-state kinetic data are reported with cytochromes c-551 and c4 and azurin as the second sub...

Electron transfer from Phanerochaete chrysosporium cellobiose oxidase to equine cytochrome c and Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c-551.

The electron-transfer reactions of cellobiose oxidase (CBO) have been investigated by conventional and by rapid-scan stopped-flow spectroscopy at pH 6.0. Analysis of the absorbance/time/wavelength matrix by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) confirms earlier studies showing that cellobiose rapidly reduces the flavin group (7.7 s-1; cellobiose, 100 microM) which in turn slowly (0.2 s-1) reduces ...

Expression and characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c-551 and two site-directed mutants: role of tryptophan 56 in the modulation of redox properties.

The gene coding for Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c-551 was expressed in Pseudomonas putida under aerobic conditions, using two different expression vectors; the more efficient proved to be pNM185, induced by m-toluate. Mature holo-(cytochrome c-551) was produced in high yield by this expression system, and was purified to homogeneity. Comparison of the recombinant wild-type protein with th...

Amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-552 from a thermophilic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus.

The complete amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-552 from an extremely thermophilic hydrogen bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6 (IAM 12695), was determined. It is a single polypeptide chain of 80 residues, and its molecular weight, including heme, was calculated to be 7,599. The sequence of cytochrome c-552 from H. thermophilus TK-6 closely resembles that of cytochromes c-551 from Pse...

Stabilization mechanism of cytochrome c552 from a moderately thermophilic bacterium, Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus.

Cytochrome c(552) (PH c(552)) from moderately thermophilic Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus exhibits stability intermediate between those of cytochrome c(552) (HT c(552)) from thermophilic Hydrogenobacter thermophilus and cytochrome c(551) (PA c(551)) from mesophilic Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To understand the mechanism of stabilization of PH c(552), we introduced mutations into PH c(552) at five s...
