The soluble electron transfer protein content of Rhodopseudomonas rutila was found to consist of two basic cytochromes and a (4Fe-4S) ferredoxin. Cytochrome c' was easily identified by its characteristic high spin absorption spectra. The native molecular weight is 29,000 and the subunit is 14,000. Cytochrome c-550 has low spin absorption spectra and a high redox potential (376 mV) typical of cytochromes c2. The molecular weight is about 14,000. The ferredoxin is apparently a dimer (43,000) of approximately 18,000 Da subunits. There are 1.3 to 1.5 iron-sulfur clusters per monomer of 18- to 21-kDa protein. The N-terminal amino acid sequence is like the (7Fe-8S) ferredoxins of Rhodobacter capsulatus and Azotobacter vinelandii. Remarkably, there are only 2 or 3 out of 25 amino acid substitutions. Difference absorption spectra of Rps. rutila membranes indicate that there is not tetraheme reaction center cytochrome c, such as is characteristic of Rps. viridis. However, there are a high potential cytochrome c and a low potential cytochrome b in the membrane, which are suggestive of a cytochrome bc1 complex. Rps. rutila is most similar to Rps. palustris in microbiological properties, yet it does not have the cytochromes c-556, c-554, and c-551 in addition to c2 and c', which are characteristic of Rps. palustris. Furthermore, the Rps. rutila cytochrome c' is dimeric, whereas the same protein from Rps. palustris is the only one known to be monomeric. The cytochrome pattern is more like that of Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rb. capsulatus, which are apparently only able to make cytochromes c2 and c'. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-550 from the chemoautotroph, Nitrobacter agilis, was completed by using solid-phase sequencing and conventional procedures. The cytochrome was composed of 109 amino acid residues and its molecular weight was calculated to be 12375 including haem c. The cytochrome was homologous to eukaryotic cytochromes c and some photosynthetic bacterial cytochromes c2. In particular, its primary structure was very similar to that of Rhodopseudomonas viridis cytochrome c2. Some of its properties were compared with those of other cytochromes c on the basis of the primary structure. 相似文献

It is becoming increasingly apparent from complete genome sequences that 16S rRNA data, as currently interpreted, does not provide an unambiguous picture of bacterial phylogeny. In contrast, we have found that analysis of insertions and deletions in the amino acid sequences of cytochrome c2 has some advantages in establishing relationships and that this approach may have broad utility in acquiring a better understanding of bacterial relationships. The amino acid sequences of cytochromes c2 and c556 have been determined in whole or in part from four strains of Rhodobacter sulfidophilus. The cytochrome c2 contains three- and eight-residue insertions as well as a single-residue deletion in common with the large cytochromes c2 but in contrast to the small cytochromes c2 and mitochondrial cytochromes. In addition, the Rb. sulfidophilus protein shares a rare six- to seven-residue insertion with other Rhodobacter cytochromes c2. The cytochrome c556 is a low-spin class II cytochrome c homologous to the greater family of cytochromes c', which are usually high-spin. The similarity of cytochrome c556 to other species of class II cytochromes is consistent with the relationships deduced from comparisons of cytochromes c2. Thus, our results do not support placement of Rb. sulfidophilus in a separate genus, Rhodovulum, which was proposed primarily on the basis of 16S rRNA sequences. Instead, the Rhodobacter cytochromes c2 are distinct from those of other genera and species of purple bacteria and show a different pattern of relationships among species than reported for 16S rRNA. 相似文献

Abstract Three membrane-bound acid-stable cytochromes c with molecular masses of 46, 30 and 21 kDa were characterized from a new Thiobacillus ferrooxidans strain. They were solubilized with high concentrations of dodecylmaltoside at pH 8. The 30 kDa cytochrome c was purified to a homogeneous state as established by SDS-PAGE analysis. It showed an absorption peak at 410 nm in the oxidized form and at 418, 523 and 552 nm in the reduced form. The 46 kDa cytochrome c co-purified with a non-heme protein of 36 kDa. The amino acid composition and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the 46 kDa cytochrome c were determined and compared with those of the soluble 14 kDa and the membrane-bound 21, 22.3 and 68 kDa cytochromes c isolated from two different strains. The results clearly show that this cytochrome is distinct from both the 22.3, 21 and 14 kDa cytochrome species, and exhibits some similarities with the 68 kDa cytochrome c as regards its amino acid composition. 相似文献

An in silico approach was used to investigate cytochrome c and the cytochrome c gene of Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The cytochrome c gene contains four introns. Omission of the introns reveals a DNA sequence coding for a complete predicted amino acid sequence for P. chrysosporium cytochrome c consistent with those of other cytochromes c. Fungal cytochromes c often have a short N-terminal peptide preceding a Gly that is the N-terminal amino acid in many cytochromes c. Thus a microexon codes for an N-terminal pentapeptide (MetProTyrAlaPro) in P. chrysosporium that is identical to the N-terminal pentapeptide of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a well studied yeast, the genome of which bears more similarity to higher eukaryotes than to other fungi. The fourth intron, when omitted, reveals the presence of another microexon resulting in a sequence for the C-terminal portion of the protein and the stop codon. Interestingly, two interpretations for the sequence of this intron leads to predictions that the C-terminal sequence ends with either AlaValAsn or AlaTyr. Selected aspects of the molecular architecture of cytochrome c and regulatory control elements of the P. chrysosporium cytochrome c gene were analyzed and compared to those present in other fungi and to those present in genes for lignin peroxidases and cytochromes P-450, two important families of hemeproteins produced by this fungus. 相似文献

We constructed a full-length cDNA coding for 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible rat liver cytochrome P-450MC by the method of Okayama and Berg. The isolated clone pAU157 contained the cDNA insert of 2.7 kb in length. Sequence analysis of the cDNA insert revealed that the amino acid sequence of cytochrome P-450MC was composed of 523 amino acid residues, including the initial 22 N-terminal amino acids whose sequence was determined with the purified protein. The primary structure was found to contain two highly conserved regions as pointed out from comparisons of the reported amino acid sequences of cytochrome P-450 species. The predicted molecular weight of the apoprotein was 59,300 daltons. Therefore, we concluded that the amino acid sequence determined here is for cytochrome P-450MC, probably corresponding to cytochrome P-450c. 相似文献

Although structurally related to other members of the class I c-type cytochromes, the cytochromes c2 have little amino acid sequence homology to the eukaryotic cytochromes c. Moreover, the cytochromes c2 exhibit distinct properties such as redox potential and an isoelectric point. In an effort to understand the differences between the cytochromes c2 and the other class I c-type cytochromes, we have developed a genetic system to study Rhodobacter capsulatus cytochrome c2 by site-directed mutagenesis. We describe here overproduction of R. capsulatus wild-type cytochrome c2 in cytochrome c2-minus strains of R. capsulatus and Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We demonstrate that R. capsulatus wild-type cytochrome c2 can transcomplement for photosynthetic growth in R. sphaeroides. Further, we describe the generation, expression, and in vivo functionality properties of nine R. capsulatus site-directed mutants. We show that mutants K12D, K14E, K32E, K14E/K32E, P35A, W67Y, and Y75F are overproduced and functional in vivo. In contrast, mutants Y75C and Y75S are expressed at low levels and exhibit poor functionality in vivo. These findings establish an effective system for the production of R. capsulatus site-directed mutants and demonstrate that interspecies complementation can be used to detect defective cytochrome c2 mutants. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of cytochrome c purified from the honeybee, Apis mellifera was determined. Only one molecular species of cytochrome c was found in the honeybee throughout its metamorphic stages. On the basis of a comparison of the amino acid sequence of honeybee cytochrome c with those of cytochromes c from other insects, it seems that the bee has evolutionarily appeared earlier than would be expected from the morphological and fossil evidence. If the classical phylogenetic relationships of the honeybee are correct, the evolutionary rate of cytochrome c must have been more rapid in the honeybee than in other insects. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureus L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c has been determined. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 111 amino acid residues and is homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. Comparison with the amino acid sequence of wheat-germ cytochrome c (Stevens, Glazer & Smith, 1967) shows 14 differences. On alignment with mammalian cytochromes c, mung-bean cytochrome c has an N-acetylated ;tail' of eight amino acid residues similar to that found in wheat-germ cytochrome c. Of the 22 positions in wheat-germ cytochrome c that contain amino acid residues unique to these positions, 20 were found to contain the same ones in mung-bean cytochrome c. The in-N-trimethyl-lysine residues reported for wheat-germ cytochrome c (Delange, Glazer & Smith, 1969) in positions 72 and 86 were also found in these positions in mung-bean cytochrome c. The sequence was determined from 3mumol, by using chymotryptic and tryptic peptides which were analysed by the ;dansyl'-Edman method (Gray & Hartley, 1963a), with confirmation by amino acid analysis. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c purified from rice, Oryza sativa L., was determined. The complete amino acid sequence of rice cytochrome c is as follows: Ac-Ala-8-Ser-Phe-Ser-Glu-Ala-Pro-Pro-Gly1-Asn-Pro-Lys-Ala-Gly-Glu-Lys-Ile-Phe10-Lys-Thr-Lys-Cys-Ala-Glx-Cys-His-Thr-Val20-Asp-Lys-Gly-Ala-Gly-His-Lys-Glx-Gly-Pro30-Asx-Leu-Asx-Gly-Leu-Phe-Gly-Arg-Glx-Ser40-Gly-Thr-Thr-Pro-Gly-Tyr-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Thr50-Ala-Asp-Lys-Asn-Met-Ala-Val-Ile-Trp-Glx60-Glx-Asx-Thr-Leu-Tyr-Asp-Tyr-Leu-Leu-Asn70-Pro-TML-Lys-Tyr-Ile-Pro-Gly-Thr-Lys-Met80-Val-Phe-Pro-Gly-Leu-TML-Lys-Pro-Glx-Glx90-Arg-Ala-Asp-Leu-Ile-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Lys-Glu100-Ala-Thr-Ser (Ac = acetyl group, TML = epsilon-N-trimethyllsine). The primary structure of rice cytochrome c was found to be homologous with those of other plant cytochromes c reported so far; it possesses general features common to plant cytochromes c, and all the invariant residues characterized in dicotyledonous cytochromes c are also conserved in the sequence of rice cytochrome c, as well as those of other monocotyledonous cytochromes c. The distinctive features of rice cytochrome c are a high content of proline residues, their unique locations in the sequence and the presence of a serine residue at position 96. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of a photosynthetic cytochrome c-553 isolated from a brown alga, Petalonia fascia was determined by BrCN fragmentation and a solid phase Edman degradation. The cytochrome contains 85 amino acid residues, giving a molecular weight of 9,803. The complete amino acid sequence is as follows: Val-Asp-Ile-Asn-Asn-Gly-Glu-Ser-Val-Phe-Thr-Ala-Asn-Cys-Ser-Ala-Cys-His-Ala-Gly -Gly-Asn-Asn-Val-Ile-Met-Pro-Glu-Lys-Thr-Leu-Lys-Lys-Asp-Ala-Leu-Glu-Glu-Asn-Gl u-Met-Asn-Asn-Ile-Lys-Ser-Ile-Thr-Tyr-Gln-Val-Thr-Asn-Gly-Lys-Asn-Ala-Met-Pro-A la-Phe-Gly-Gly-Arg-Leu-Ser-Glu-Thr-Asp-Ile-Glu-Asp-Val-Ala-Asn-Phe-Val-Ile-Ser-Gln-Ser-Gln-Lys-Gly-Trp. The highest homology was found between the sequences of cytochromes c-553 of P. fascia and Alaria esculenta, the next between those of P. fascia and Porphyria tenera. 相似文献

The complete primary structure of an unusual soluble cytochrome c isolated from the obligate methylotrophic bacterium Methylophilus methylotrophus has been determined to contain 124 amino acids and to have an average molecular mass of 14293.0 Da. The sequence has two unusual features: firstly, the location of the heme-binding cysteines is far downstream from the N-terminus, namely at positions 49 and 52; secondly, an extra pair of cysteine residues is present near the C-terminus. In both respects, cytochrome c" is similar to the oxygen-binding heme protein SHP from the purple phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. In contrast to SHP, cytochrome c" changes from low-spin to high-spin upon reduction, due to dissociation of a sixth heme ligand histidine which is identified as His-95 by analogy to the class I cytochromes c. The distance of His-95 from the heme (41 residues) and the presence of certain consensus residues suggests that cytochrome c" is the second example of a variant class I cytochrome c. 相似文献

Mutants of Rhodobacter capsulatus lacking the soluble electron carrier cytochrome c2 are able to grow photosynthetically (Ps+), whereas Rhodobacter sphaeroides is unable to do so. To understand this unusual electron transfer pathway the gene required for cyt c2-independent growth of R.capsulatus was sought using chromosomal libraries derived from a cyt c2- mutant of this species to complement a Ps- cyt c2- mutant of R.sphaeroides to Ps+ growth. The complementing 1.2 kbp DNA fragment contained a gene, cycY, encoding a novel membrane-associated c-type cytochrome, cyt cy, based on predicted amino acid sequence, optical difference spectra and SDS-PAGE analysis of chromatophore membranes. The predicted primary sequence of cyt cy is unusual in having two distinct domains, a hydrophobic amino-terminal region and a carboxyl-terminus with strong homology to cytochromes c. A cyt cy- mutant of R.capsulatus remains Ps+ as does the cyt c2- mutant. However, a mutant lacking both cyt c2 and cy is Ps-, and can be complemented to Ps+ by either cyt c2 or cyt cy. These findings demonstrate that each of the cytochromes c2 and cy is essential for photosynthesis only in the absence of the other. Thus, two distinct electron transfer pathways, unrecognized until now, operate during photosynthesis in R.capsulatus under appropriate conditions, one via the soluble cyt c2 and the other via the membrane-associated cyt cy. 相似文献

A photosynthetic c-type cytochrome, cytochrome c6, was extracted from a green alga, Bryopsis maxima, by cutting and immersing the frozen thalli in phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, and purified by acrinol treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and Bio-Gel P-10 gel filtration. The ferrcytochrome c6 has absorption maxima at 553.5 (alpha), 523 (beta), 417 (gamma), 318 (delta), and 275 nm, and the ferricytochrome at 695, 528, and 411 (gamma). The molecular weight was estimated to be about 10,000 from Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The midpoint redox potential for the cytochrome was determined by equilibrium titration with a ferro- and ferricyanide system to be 0.385 volt at pH 7.0. Isoelectric points for ferro- and ferricytochromes were determined by density gradient isoelectric focusing electrophoresis to be at pH 3.91 and 4.02, respectively. The complete amino acid sequence of the cytochrome was determined by Edman degradation and by carboxypeptidase digestions of the Cm-cytochrome, 6 staphylococcal protease peptides and 5 lysyl endopeptidase peptides. The cytochrome contained 88 amino acid residues, giving a molecular weight of 9,904 including 1 mol of heme c. The sequence is as follows: GGDLEIGADVFTGNCAACHAGGANSVEPLKTLNKEDVTKYLDGGLSIEAITSQVRNGKGAMPAWSDRLD DEEIDGVVAYVFKNINEGW. A phylogenetic tree of 13 algal cytochromes c6 was constructed by comparing the amino acid differences. 相似文献

Cytochrome c-551.5 of the anaerobic sulfur-reducing bacterium Desulfuromonas acetoxidans has been purified to homogeneity and characterized. It elicits absorption bands at 551.5, 522.5 and 418 nm in the reduced form; the absorptivity ratio Aalpha(red)/A280nm(ox) equals 3.8 for the pure preparation. The molecular weight was estimated to be 9800 by gel filtration. Determination of the amion acid composition and analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence showed the cytochrome to be identical with the threehaem cytochrome c-551.5 (c7) isolated from the syntrophic mixed culture Chloropseudomonas ethylica strain 2K. The occurrence of multihaem cytochromes c in bacteria is discussed. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of Paracoccus (formerly Micrococcus) denitrificans cytochrome c550 has been established by a combination of standard chemical techniques and interpretation of a 2.5 A resolution x-ray electron density map. Peptides derived from a trypsin digest were chemically sequenced, and then ordered by fitting them to the density map. The amino acid compositions of chymotryptic peptides confirmed the x-ray map ordering the tryptic peptides. The amino acid sequence of this respiratory, prokaryotic cytochrome with 134 residues is discussed in relation to those of eukaryotic respiratory cytochrome c (103 to 113 amino acids), and prokaryotic, photosynthetic c2 (103 to 124 amino acids). At the primary structure level, c and c550 differ no more from cytochromes c2 than the various cytochromes c2 do from one another. It is suggested that the respiratory electron transport chain in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is a relatively late evolutionary offshoot of the photosynthetic electron transport chain in purple non-sulfur bacteria. 相似文献

Nitrosomonas europaea is an ammonia-oxidizing bacterium which contains multiple c-type cytochromes. Few of these components have been assigned physiological roles, but on the basis of molecular weight and redox potential cytochrome c-552 has been considered to be an analogue of the mitochondrial cytochrome-c family of proteins. We present the N-terminal amino acid sequence (47 residues) of cytochrome c-552 and show that this protein is most closely related to the group of small cytochrome-c components from pseudomonads (cytochromes c-551) and is probably evolutionarily distant from the analagous protein (cytochrome c-550) from the nitrite-oxidizing bacterium Nitrobacter agilis. 相似文献

Cytochrome c553 is an electron donor to P700 in the photosynthetic electron transfer chain of cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. We have purified this cytochrome from the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa and determined its amino acid sequence. When the amino acid sequence of this protein is compared to sequences of cytochromes c553 from other organisms, one sees that the evolution of net charge is more pronounced than the evolution of overall structure, further documenting a pronounced shift in the isoelectric point of this protein during the evolution of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria and algae also contain cytochrome c550 (Mr 15,500) which is quite different from cytochrome c553 (Mr 10,500). When the amino acid sequence of cytochrome c553 is compared to that of cytochrome c550, two regions of similar sequence are recognized. 相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-552 from an extremely thermophilic hydrogen bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6 (IAM 12695), was determined. It is a single polypeptide chain of 80 residues, and its molecular weight, including heme, was calculated to be 7,599. The sequence of cytochrome c-552 from H. thermophilus TK-6 closely resembles that of cytochromes c-551 from Pseudomonas species. Moreover, the tertiary structure of Hydrogenobacter cytochrome c-552 is suggested to be similar to that of cytochrome c-551 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The sequence similarity between Hydrogenobacter cytochrome c-552 and that of other bacteria physiologically related to H. thermophilus is not high. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of rape (Brassica Napus L) cytochrome c was determined using 1 mumole of protein. Analysis of chymotryptic and tryptic peptides by the dansyl-Edman method showed that the molecule consisted of 111 residues and was homologous with other mitochondrial plant cytochromes c. The amino acid sequence was found to be identical with that previously reported for the cytochrome c from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L). 相似文献
