CYTOCHROME CL FROM METHYLOBACTERIUM EXTORQUENS

Overview

The structure of cytochrome cL from Methylobacterium extorquens has been, determined by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 1.6 A. This, unusually large, acidic cytochrome is the physiological electron acceptor, for the quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenase in the periplasm of, methylotrophic bacteria. Its amino acid sequence is completely different, from that of other cytochromes but its X-ray structure reveals a core that, is typical of class I cytochromes c, having alpha-helices folded into a, compact structure enclosing the single haem c prosthetic group and leaving, one edge of the haem exposed. The haem is bound through thioether bonds to, Cys65 and Cys68, and the fifth ligand to the haem iron is provided by, His69. Remarkably, the sixth ligand is provided by His112, and not by, ...
