Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial apocytochrome c and c1 are converted to their holoforms in the intermembrane space by attachment of heme to the cysteines of the CXXCH motif through the activity of assembly factors cytochrome c heme lyase and cytochrome c1 heme lyase (CCHL and CC1HL). The maintenance of apocytochrome sulfhydryls and heme substrates in a reduced state is critical for the ligation of heme. Factors that control the...
