Extracytoplasmic prosthetic group ligation to apoproteins: maturation of c-type cytochromes.

Abstract excerpt

In all organisms, haem is post-translationally and covalently attached to c apocytochromes to produce c holocytochromes via a process called c-type cytochromes maturation, which involves numerous components. In bacteria it was not clear which of these components catalyses the extracytoplasmic haem-apocytochrome ligation per se. In this issue of Molecular Microbiology, Feissner and colleagues report that a single...
