  • Title: Effect of the hinge protein on the heme iron site of cytochrome c1.
    Author: Kim CH, Yencha AJ, Bunker G, Zhang G, Chance B, King TE.
    Journal: Biochemistry; 1989 Feb 21; 28(4):1439-41. PubMed ID: 2541755.
    Abstract:
    X-ray absorption spectroscopic (XAS) studies on cytochrome C1 from beef heart mitochondria were conducted to identify the effect of the hinge protein [Kim, C.H., & King, T.E. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 13543-13551] on the structure of the heme site in cytochrome c1. A comparison of XAS data of highly purified "one-band" and "two-band" cytochrome c1 [Kim, C.H., & King, T.E. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 1955-1961] demonstrates that the hinge protein exerts a rather pronounced effect on the heme environment of the cytochrome c1: a conformational change occurs within a radius of approximately 5 A from the heme iron in cytochrome c1 when the hinge protein is bound to cytochrome c1. This result may be correlated with the previous observations that the structure and reactivity of cytochrome c1 are affected by the hinge protein [Kim, C.H., & King, T.E. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 1955-1961; Kim, C.H., Balny, C., & King, T.E. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8103-8108].
