Cytochrome c-peroxidase modulates ROS homeostasis to regulate the sexual mating of Sporisorium scitamineum [PDF]
Sugarcane smut, caused by the basidiomycetous fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is a global fungal disease resulting in substantial economic losses. Our previous research has highlighted the significant role of reactive oxide species (ROS) in the sexual ...

Leishmania major peroxidase is a cytochrome c peroxidase. [PDF]
Leishmania major peroxidase (LmP) exhibits both ascorbate and cytochrome c peroxidase activities. Our previous results illustrated that LmP has a much higher activity against horse heart cytochrome c than ascorbate, suggesting that cytochrome c may be the biologically important substrate.

Mutations in cytochrome c (Cyt c) have been reported in tuning peroxidase activity, which in-turn cause Cyt c release from mitochondria and early apoptosis. However, the molecular tuning mechanism underlying this activity remains elusive.

Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopic study of cytochrome c peroxidase activity in deep eutectic solvent [PDF]
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) prepared by mixing hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor molecules have been found to be of use in several applications. Recently, it was shown that DESs can enhance the peroxidation activity of cytochrome c.

Cytochrome c Peroxidase–Cytochrome c Complexes
The yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP)–cytochrome c (cytc) electron transfer system has been critically important in deciphering the molecular level details of protein–protein interactions and electron transfer. The crystal structure of the CCP–cytc together with a number mutagenesis, enzymological, and spectroscopic studies have provided a detailed ...

Engineering ascorbate peroxidase activity into cytochrome c peroxidase. [PDF]
Cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) have very similar structures, and yet neither CCP nor APX exhibits each other's activities with respect to reducing substrates. APX has a unique substrate binding site near the heme propionates where ascorbate H-bonds with a surface Arg and one heme propionate (Sharp et al. (2003) Nat. Struct.

Structural basis for cytochrome c Y67H mutant to function as a peroxidase.
The catalytic activity of cytochrome c (cyt c) to peroxidize cardiolipin to its oxidized form is required for the release of pro-apoptotic factors from mitochondria, and for execution of the subsequent apoptotic steps.
