  • Title: Structure and heme environment of ferrocytochrome c553 from 1H NMR studies.
    Author: Ulrich EL, Krogmann DW, Markley JL.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1982 Aug 25; 257(16):9356-64. PubMed ID: 6286617.
    Abstract:
    Cytochrome c553 is a photosynthetic electron transport protein found in algae and cyanobacteria. We have purified cytochromes c553 from five cyanobacteria and studied the structures of the ferrocytochromes by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 360 and 470 MHz. Using standard NMR techniques and by comparing the amino acid sequences of four cytochromes c553 with their 1H NMR spectra, we have assigned in the spectrum of the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae protein 18 resonances to specific amino acid residues and 12 resonances to specific heme protons. Steady state and truncated driven nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments indicate that a tyrosine and methionine are located near pyrrole ring IV of the heme and that a phenylalanine ring is near the heme alpha-mesoproton. The general folding of the cytochrome c553 protein backbone appears to resemble that of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c551, but the chirality of the cytochrome c553 axial methine sulfur is R, the same as that of horse heart cytochrome c.
