Abstract excerpt
In the alpha-, beta- and gamma-Proteobacteria, the so-called cytochrome c maturation (Ccm) system is known to promote the covalent attachment of the haem to periplasmic apocytochrome c. However, in species of Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Paracoccus and Legionella, mutations in ccm genes result in phenotypes that cannot be readily explained by the simple loss of a c-type cytochrome. These phenotypes include loss of...
