Import of cytochrome c into mitochondria. Cytochrome c heme lyase [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1987
The import of cytochrome c into mitochondria can be resolved into a number of discrete steps. Here we report on the covalent attachment of heme to apocytochrome c by the enzyme cytochrome c heme lyase in mitochondria from Neurospora crassa. A new method was developed to measure directly the linkage of heme to apocytochrome c. This method is independent

Cytochrome c signalosome in mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Biophysics Journal, 2011
Cytochrome c delicately tilts the balance between cell life (respiration) and cell death (apoptosis). Whereas cell life is governed by transient electron transfer interactions of cytochrome c inside the mitochondria, the cytoplasmic adducts of cytochrome c that lead to cell death are amazingly stable.

Mitochondrial Encephalopathy and Cytochrome C

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 1997
Benefits from treatment of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (MEM) with cytochrome C (6.25 mg) and vitamins Bl (25 mg) and B2 (12.5 mg), in daily injections, are reported from Osaka University Medical School and other centers in Japan.

Cytochrome c 6-like protein as a putative donor of electrons to photosystem I in the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. PCC 7119 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Most organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis contain either cytochrome c 6 or plastocyanin, or both, to transfer electrons from cytochrome b 6-f to photosystem I. Even though plastocyanin has superseded cytochrome c 6 along evolution, plants contain

Molecular Basis and Consequences of the Cytochrome c-tRNA Interaction. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The intrinsic apoptosis pathway occurs through the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c to the cytosol, where it promotes activation of the caspase family of proteases.

Electron transfer interactome of cytochrome C.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2012
Lying at the heart of many vital cellular processes such as photosynthesis and respiration, biological electron transfer (ET) is mediated by transient interactions among proteins that recognize multiple binding partners.

The effect of cardiolipin side chain composition on cytochrome c protein conformation and peroxidase activity

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Skeletal muscle, a highly active tissue, makes up 40% of the total body weight. This tissue relies on mitochondria for ATP production, calcium homeostasis, and programed cell death.

The role of cytochrome c in caspase activation in Drosophila melanogaster cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is necessary for the formation of the Apaf-1 apoptosome and subsequent activation of caspase-9 in mammalian cells.

Cytochrome b5 reductase is the component from neuronal synaptic plasma membrane vesicles that generates superoxide anion upon stimulation by cytochrome c

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2018
In this work, we measured the effect of cytochrome c on the NADH-dependent superoxide anion production by synaptic plasma membrane vesicles from rat brain.

Bacterial TANGO2 homologs are heme-trafficking proteins that facilitate biosynthesis of cytochromes c

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Heme, an essential molecule for virtually all living organisms, acts primarily as a cofactor in a large number of proteins. However, how heme is mobilized from the site of synthesis to the locations where hemoproteins are assembled remains largely ...
