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 The solution structure of oxidized horse heart cytochrome c was obtained at pH 7.0 in 100 mM phosphate buffer from 2278 NOEs and 241 pseudocontact shift constraints. The final structure was refined through restrained energy minimization. A 35-member family, with RMSD values with respect to the average structure of 0.70 +/- 0.11 A and 1.21 +/- 0.14 A for the backbone and all heavy atoms, respectively, and with an average penalty function of 130 +/- 4.0 kJ/mol and 84 +/- 3.7 kJ/mol for NOE and pseudocontact shift constraints, respectively (corresponding to a target function of 0.9 A2 and 0.2 A2), was obtained. The solution structure is somewhat different from that recently reported (Qi et al., 1996) and appears to be similar to the X-ray structure of the same oxidation state (Bushnell et al., 1990). A noticeable difference is a rotation of 17 +/- 8 degrees of the imidazole plane between solid and solution structure. Detailed and accurate structural determinations are important within the frame of the current debate of the structural rearrangements occurring upon oxidation or reduction. From the obtained magnetic susceptibility tensor a separation of the hyperfine shifts into their contact and pseudocontact contributions is derived and compared to that of the analogous isoenzyme from S. cerevisiae and to previous results.
