Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.95Å Ligands: HEC Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CYC2_CERSP Cytochrome c2 is found mainly in purple, non-sulfur, photosynthetic bacteria where it functions as the electron donor to the oxidized bacteriochlorophyll in the photophosphorylation pathway. However, it may also have a role in the respiratory chain and is found in some non-photosynthetic bacteria. 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 Cytochrome c(2) serves as the secondary electron donor that reduces the photo-oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer in photosynthetic bacteria. Cytochrome c(2) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides has been crystallized in three different forms. At high ionic strength, crystals of a hexagonal space group (P6(1)22) were obtained, while at low ionic strength, triclinic (P1) and tetragonal (P4(1)2(1)2) crystals were formed. The three-dimensional structures of the cytochrome in all three crystal forms have been determined by X-ray diffraction at resolutions of 2.20 A (hexagonal), 1.95 A, (triclinic) and 1.53 A (tetragonal). The most significant difference observed was the binding of an imidazole molecule to the iron atom of the heme group in the hexagonal structure. This binding displaces the sulfur atom of Met l00, which forms the axial ligand in the triclinic and tetragonal structures.
