Phosphorylation disrupts long-distance electron transport in cytochrome c

Nature Communications, 2022
Electron transfer between mitochondrial cytochrome c and subunit of cytochrome bc 1 can proceed at long distance. Here the authors investigate further the mechanism and show phosphorylation regulation of the interactions between the protein partners in ...

A Modular Liver–Microbial Microfluidic Platform to Evaluate Therapeutic and Adverse Effects of Microbial Metabolites

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a modular microfluidic platform that connects liver cells with live microbes to mimic key aspects of the gut–liver interaction in steatosis. Using this system, both microbial metabolites and live bacteria significantly reduced fat accumulation in liver cells, but live microbes triggered inflammation and broader metabolic changes ...

Redox-controlled proton gating in bovine cytochrome c oxidase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Cytochrome c oxidase is the terminal enzyme in the electron transfer chain of essentially all organisms that utilize oxygen to generate energy. It reduces oxygen to water and harnesses the energy to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane in ...

Lipid Nanoparticle Co‐Delivery of mRNA and a Small Molecule Drug for Oral Cancer Chemoimmunotherapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐encapsulation of p53 mRNA and the small molecule ciclopirox within a lipid nanoparticle yields an all‐in‐one chemoimmunotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma. The platform engages caspase‐driven apoptosis in cancer cells while repolarizing tumor‐associated macrophages, achieving tumor reduction in both p53‐susceptible and p53‐resistant models and

Cytochrome C catalyzed oxygen tolerant atom-transfer radical polymerization

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2022
Atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a well-known technique for controlled polymer synthesis. However, the ATRP usually employed toxic heavy metal ionas as the catalyst and was susceptible to molecular oxygen, which made it should be conducted ...

PINK1 mutants associated with recessive Parkinson’s disease are defective in inhibiting mitochondrial release of cytochrome c

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
Mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) gene cause recessive familial type 6 of Parkinson’s disease (PARK6). We investigated molecular mechanisms underlying PINK1 neuroprotective function and PARK6 mutation-induced loss of PINK1 function ...

Perturbation of Cytochrome c Maturation Reveals Adaptability of the Respiratory Chain in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

mBio, 2013
Mycobacterium tuberculosis depends on aerobic respiration for growth and utilizes an aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase for terminal electron transfer. Cytochrome c maturation in bacteria requires covalent attachment of heme to apocytochrome c, which occurs ...

Cytochrome c binding affects the conformation of cytochrome a in cytochrome c oxidase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
Second derivative absorption spectroscopy has been used to assess the effects of complex formation between cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase on the conformation of the cytochrome a cofactor. When ferrocytochrome c is complexed to the cyanide-inhibited reduced or mixed valence enzyme, the conformation of ferrocytochrome a is affected.
