Structural Insights into Mechanisms Underlying Mitochondrial and Bacterial Cytochrome c Synthases [PDF]
BiomoleculesMitochondrial holocytochrome c synthase (HCCS) is an essential protein in assembling cytochrome c (cyt c) of the electron transport system. HCCS binds heme and covalently attaches the two vinyls of heme to two cysteine thiols of the cyt c CXXCH motif ...

Complexation of CcmB with CcmACD safeguards heme translocation for cytochrome c maturation [PDF]
mLifeCytochrome c maturation (CCM), a posttranslational modification involving covalent attachment of heme to polypeptides (apocyt c), is essential for the activity and cellular function of cytochromes c.

Interspecies Variation in the Functional Consequences of Mutation of Cytochrome c. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The naturally occurring human cytochrome c variant (G41S) is associated with a mild autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia (Thrombocytopenia Cargeeg) caused by dysregulation of platelet production.

Cytochrome c Negatively Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The release of cytochrome c from the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it is anchored by caridolipin, triggers the formation of the Apaf-1 apoptosome. Cardiolipin also interacts with NLRP3 recruiting NLRP3 to mitochondria and facilitating inflammasome ...

Crystallographic studies of cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase [PDF]
The Journal of Biochemistry, 2021 I started on crystallographic studies of cytochrome c (Cyt.c) in the later 1960s at Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University. The institute successfully built the structural model of ferro-Cyt.c by the multiple heavy atom replacement method in the early 1970s.

New insight into the mechanism of mitochondrial cytochrome c function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We investigate functional role of the P76GTKMIFA83 fragment of the primary structure of cytochrome c. Based on the data obtained by the analysis of informational structure (ANIS), we propose a model of functioning of cytochrome c. According to this model,

Lysine-PEGylated Cytochrome C with Enhanced Shelf-Life Stability
Biosensors, 2022 Cytochrome c (Cyt-c), a small mitochondrial electron transport heme protein, has been employed in bioelectrochemical and therapeutic applications. However, its potential as both a biosensor and anticancer drug is significantly impaired due to poor long ...

Multiple Mechanisms Regulate Eukaryotic Cytochrome C Oxidase
Cells, 2021 Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the rate-limiting enzyme of mitochondrial respiration, is regulated by various mechanisms. Its regulation by ATP (adenosine triphosphate) appears of particular importance, since it evolved early during evolution and is still ...
