A functional description of CymA, an electron-transfer hub supporting anaerobic respiratory flexibility in Shewanella [PDF]
CymA (tetrahaem cytochrome c) is a member of the NapC/NirT family of quinol dehydrogenases. Essential for the anaerobic respiratory flexibility of shewanellae, CymA transfers electrons from menaquinol to various dedicated systems for the reduction of ...

Characterization of Shewanella oneidensis MtrC: a cell-surface decaheme cytochrome involved in respiratory electron transport to extracellular electron acceptors [PDF]
MtrC is a decaheme c-type cytochrome associated with the outer cell membrane of Fe(III)-respiring species of the Shewanella genus. It is proposed to play a role in anaerobic respiration by mediating electron transfer to extracellular mineral oxides that ...

100 years of microbial electricity production : three concepts for the future [PDF]
Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) have been explored according to three main concepts: to produce energy from organic substrates, to generate products and to provide specific environmental services.

Monomorphism of human cytochrome c
Cytochrome c (Cyt c) has key roles in both mitochondrial electron transfer and apoptosis onset and is therefore likely undergoing a strong selective pressure against amino acid variation. Nevertheless, a phylogenetically fast amino acid replacement rate in the Cyt c of species of the anthropoid primate lineage was recently reported. We therefore looked

Resonance Raman Spectroscopy Reveals that Substrate Structure Selectively Impacts the Heme-Bound Diatomic Ligands of CYP17 [PDF]
An important function of steroidogenic cytochromes P450 is the transformation of cholesterol to produce androgens, estrogens, and the corticosteroids.

Characterization of an electron conduit between bacteria and the extracellular environment [PDF]
A number of species of Gram-negative bacteria can use insoluble minerals of Fe(III) and Mn(IV) as extracellular respiratory electron acceptors. In some species of Shewanella, deca-heme electron transfer proteins lie at the extracellular face of the outer

The fox Operon from Rhodobacter Strain SW2 Promotes Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Rhodobacter capsulatus SB1003 [PDF]
Anoxygenic photosynthesis based on Fe(II) is thought to be one of the most ancient forms of metabolism and is hypothesized to represent a transition step in the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.

Import of apocytochrome c into the mitochondrial intermembrane space along a cytochrome c1 sorting pathway [PDF]
The question of whether cytochrome c could be functionally sorted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space along a "conservative sorting" pathway was investigated using a fusion protein termed pLc1-c. pLc1-c contains 3-fold targeting information, namely,

_M. tuberculosis_ interactome analysis unravels potential pathways to drug resistance [PDF]
Drug resistance is a major problem for combating tuberculosis. Lack of understanding of how resistance emerges in bacteria upon drug treatment limits our ability to counter resistance.
