Cytochromes c' are high-spin proteins and the heme has no sixth ligand. Their exact function is not known. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed The three-dimensional structures of two cytochromes c' have been determined in order to analyse the common features of proteins of this family and their relationship with other four-helix bundle structures. The structure of cytochrome c' from Alcaligenes sp was determined by molecular replacement supplemented with the iron anomalous scattering and the use of a single isomorphous heavy-atom derivative, and was refined using synchrotron data to 1.8 A resolution. The final model, comprising 956 protein atoms (one monomer) and 89 water molecules, has a final R value of 0.188 for all data in the range 20.0-1.8 A resolution (14 673 reflections). The structure of the cytochrome c' from Alcaligenes denitrificans is isomorphous and essentially identical (r.m.s. deviation for all atoms 0.36 A). Although its amino-acid sequence has not been determined chemically, only four differences from that of Alcaligenes sp cytochrome c' were identified by the X-ray analysis. The final model for Alcaligenes denitrificans cytochrome c', comprising 953 protein atoms and 75 water molecules, gave a final R factor of 0.167 for all data in the range 20.0-2.15 A (8220 reflections). The cytochrome c' monomer forms a classic four-helix bundle, determined by the packing of hydrophobic side chains around the enclosed haem group. There are very few cross-linking hydrogen bonds between the helices, the principal side-chain hydrogen bonding involving one of the haem propionates and a conserved Arg residue. The cytochrome c' dimer is created by a crystallographic twofold axis. Monomer-monomer contacts primarily involve the two A helices, with size complementarity of side chains in a central solvent-excluded portion of the interface and hydrogen bonding at the periphery. Both species have a pyroglutamic acid N-terminal residue. The haem iron is five-coordinate, 0.32 A out of the haem plane towards the fifth ligand, His120. The unusual magnetic properties of the Fe atom may be linked to a conserved basic residue, Arg124, adjacent to His120.
