Abstract excerpt
CcmE is a heme chaperone active in the cytochrome c maturation pathway of Escherichia coli. It first binds heme covalently to strictly conserved histidine H130 and subsequently delivers it to apo-cytochrome c. The recently solved structure of soluble CcmE revealed a compact core consisting of a beta-barrel and a flexible C-terminal domain with a short alpha-helical turn. In order to elucidate the function of this...
