Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, heme is delivered to cytochrome c in a process involving eight proteins encoded by the ccmABCDEFGH operon. Heme is transferred to the periplasmic heme chaperone CcmE by CcmC and from there to apocytochrome c. The role of CcmC was investigated by random as well as site-directed mutagenesis. Important amino acids were all located in periplasmic domains of the CcmC protein that has six...
