== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CYCP_ALCXX CYCP_ALCXX] Cytochrome c' is the most widely occurring bacterial c-type cytochrome. Cytochromes c' are high-spin proteins and the heme has no sixth ligand. Their exact function is not known.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Hemoproteins play central roles in the formation and utilization of nitric oxide (NO) in cellular signalling, as well as in protection against nitrosative stress. Key to heme-nitrosyl function and reactivity is the Fe coordination number (5 or 6). For 5c-NO complexes, the potential exists for NO to bind on either heme face, as in the microbial cytochrome c' from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans (AxCYTcp), which forms a stable proximal 5c-NO complex via a distal 6c-NO intermediate and a putative dinitrosyl species. Strong parallels between the NO binding kinetics of AxCYTcp, the eukaryotic NO-sensor, soluble guanylate cyclase, and the ferrocytochrome c/cardiolipin complex have led to the suggestion that a distal to proximal NO switch could contribute to the selective ligand responses in gas-sensing hemoproteins. The proximal NO binding site in AxCYTcp is close to a conserved basic (Arg 124) residue that is postulated to modulate NO reactivity. We have replaced Arg 124 by five different amino acids and have determined high-resolution (1.07-1.40A) crystallographic structures with and without NO. These, together with kinetic and resonance Raman data, provide new insights into the mechanism of distal to proximal heme-NO conversion, including the determinants of Fe-His bond scission. The Arg124Ala variant allowed us to determine the structure of an analog of the previously unobserved key 5c-NO distal intermediate species. The very high-resolution structures combined with the extensive spectroscopic and kinetic data have allowed us to provide a fresh insight into heme reactivity towards NO, a reaction that is of wide importance in biology.
