Abstract excerpt
The electron transport chains in the membranes of bacteria and organelles generate proton-motive force essential for ATP production. The c-type cytochromes, defined by the covalent attachment of heme to a CXXCH motif, are key electron carriers in these energy-transducing membranes. In mitochondria, cytochromes c and c(1) are assembled by the cytochrome c heme lyases (CCHL and CC(1)HL) and by Cyc2p, a putative...
