TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Structure of a trypanosomatid mitochondrial cytochrome c with heme attached via only one thioether bond and implications for the substrate recognition requirements of heme lyase

The principal physiological role of mitochondrial cytochromecis electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation. c-Type cytochromes are almost always characterized by covalent attachment of heme to protein through two thioether bonds between the heme vinyl groups and the thiols of cyste-ine residues in a Cys-Xxx-Xxx-Cys-His motif. | Structure of a trypanosomatid mitochondrial cytochrome c with heme attached via only one thioether bond and implications for the substrate recognition requirements of heme lyase Vilmos Fulop1 Katharine A.

Uniquely however members of the evolutionarily divergent protist phylum Euglenozoa which includes Trypanosoma and Leishmania species have mitochondrial cytochromes c with heme attached through only one thioether bond to an AZF XXCH motif the implications of this for the cytochrome structures are unclear. Here we present the A resolution X-ray crystal structure of cytochrome c from the trypanosomatid Crithidia fasciculata. Despite the fundamental difference in heme attachment and in the cytochrome c biogenesis machinery of the Euglenozoa the structure is remarkably similar to that of typical CXXCH mitochondrial cytochromes c both
