Function

[CYC_HORSE] Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. Plays a role in apoptosis. Suppression of the anti-apoptotic members or activation of the pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family leads to altered mitochondrial membrane permeability resulting in release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Binding of cytochrome c to Apaf-1 triggers the activation of caspase-9, which then accelerates apoptosis by activating other caspases (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

BACKGROUND: Cytochrome c is an integral part of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It is confined to the intermembrane space of mitochondria, and has the function of transferring electrons between its redox partners. Solution studies of cytochrome c indicate that the conformation of the molecule is sensitive to the ionic strength of the medium. RESULTS: The crystal structures of cytochromes c from several species have been solved at extremely high ionic strengths of near-saturated solutions of ammonium sulfate. Here we present the first crystal structure of ferricytochrome c at low ionic strength refined at 2.1 A resolution. In general, the structure has the same features as those determined earlier. However, there are some differences in both backbone and side-chain conformations in several areas. These areas coincide with those observed by NMR and resonance Raman spectroscopy to be sensitive to ionic strength. CONCLUSIONS: Neither ionic strength nor crystal-packing interactions have much influence on the conformation of horse cytochrome c. Nevertheless, some differences in the side-chain conformations at high and low ionic strengths may be important for understanding how the protein functions. Close examination of the gamma-turn (residues 27-29) conserved in cytochromes c leads us to propose the 'negative classical' gamma-turn to describe this unusual feature.
