The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is a key signaling mechanism in apoptosis. Although extramitochondrial proteins are thought to initiate this release, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Cytochrome c (cyt c) binds to and penetrates lipid structures containing the inner mitochondrial membrane lipid cardiolipin (CL), leading to protein conformational changes and increased peroxidase...
Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a stable protein that functions in a monomeric state as an electron donor for cytochrome c oxidase. It is also released to the cytosol when permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane occurs at the early stage of apoptosis. For nearly half a century, it has been known that cyt c forms polymers, but the polymerization mechanism remains unknown. We found that cyt ...
Photosynthetic (Ps) growth of purple non-sulfur bacteria such as Rhodobacter capsulatus depends on the cyclic electron transfer (ET) between the ubihydroquinone (QH2): cytochrome (cyt) c oxidoreductases (cyt bc1 complex), and the photochemical reaction centers (RC), mediated by either a membrane-bound (cyt c(y)) or a freely diffusible (cyt c2) electron carrier. Previously, we constructed a func...
Differentiating male germ cells express a testis-specific form of cytochrome c (Cyt c(T)) that is distinct from the cytochrome c expressed in somatic cells (Cyt c(S)). To examine the role of Cyt c(T) in germ cells, we generated mice null for Cyt c(T). Homozygous Cyt c(T)(-/-) pups were statistically underrepresented (21%) but developed normally and were fertile. However, spermatozoa isolated fr...
The final interprotein electron transfer (ET) in the mammalian respiratory chain, from cytochrome c (Cyt c) to cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is investigated by (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectral analysis. The chemical shift perturbation in isotope-labeled Cyt c induced by addition of unlabeled CcO indicates that the hydrophobic heme periphery and adjacent hydrophobic amino ...
Native cytochrome c (cyt c) has a compact tertiary structure with a hexacoordinated heme iron and functions in electron transport in mitochondria and apoptosis in the cytoplasm. However, the possibility that protein modifications confer additional functions to cyt c has not been explored. Disruption of methionine 80 (M80)-Fe ligation of cyt c under nitrative stress has been reported. To model t...
Met80 of cytochrome c (cyt c) has been shown to dissociate from its heme iron when cyt c interacts with cardiolipin (CL), which triggers the release of cyt c into the cytosol initiating apoptosis. We found that the mass of human cyt c increases by 16 Da in the Met80-Lys86 region by reaction with molecular oxygen in the presence of CL-containing liposomes and dithiothreitol (DTT). To investigate...
Cytochrome c (cyt c) participates in two crucial cellular processes, energy production and apoptosis, and unsurprisingly is a highly conserved protein. However, previous studies have reported for the primate lineage (i) loss of the paralogous testis isoform, (ii) an acceleration and then a deceleration of the amino acid replacement rate of the cyt c somatic isoform, and (iii) atypical biochemic...
Mitochondria play a critical role in myocardial cold ischemia-reperfusion (CIR) and induction of apoptosis. The nature and extent of mitochondrial defects and cytochrome c (Cyt c) release were determined by high-resolution respirometry in permeabilized myocardial fibers. CIR in a rat heart transplant model resulted in variable contractile performance, correlating with the decline of ADP-stimula...
In Rhodobacter sphaeroides chromatophores, cytochromes (cyt) c(1) and c(2) have closely overlapping spectra, and their spectral deconvolution provides a challenging task. As a result, analyses of the kinetics of different cytochrome components of the bc(1) complex in purple bacteria usually report only the sum cyt c(1) + cyt c(2) kinetics. Here we used newly determined difference spectra of ind...
