Resilience of Rhodobacter sphaeroides cytochrome bc1 to heme c1 ligation changes.

Abstract excerpt

Typically, c hemes are bound to the protein through two thioether bonds to cysteines and two axial ligands to the heme iron. In high-potential class I c-type cytochromes, these axial ligands are commonly His-Met. A change in this methionine axial ligand is often correlated with a dramatic drop in the heme redox potential and loss of function. Here we describe a bacterial cytochrome c with an unusual tolerance to...
