OverviewOverview

The structure of cytochrome c-550 from the nonphotosynthetic bacteria, Paraccocus versutus has been solved by X-ray crystallography to 1.90 A, resolution, and reveals a high structural homology to other bacterial, cytochromes c(2). The effect of replacing the axial heme-iron methionine, ligand with a lysine residue on protein structure and unfolding has been, assessed using the M100K variant. From X-ray structures at 1.95 and 1.55 A, resolution it became clear that the amino group of the lysine side chain, coordinates to the heme-iron. Structural differences compared to the, wild-type protein are confined to the lysine ligand loop connecting, helices four and five. In the heme cavity an additional water molecule is, found which participates in an H-bonding interaction with the lysine, ... [(full description)]
