Cytochrome c-type biogenesis protein CcmABCD from E. coli
Structural highlights
FunctionCCMA_ECOLI Part of the ABC transporter complex CcmAB involved in the biogenesis of c-type cytochromes; once thought to export heme, this seems not to be the case, but its exact role is uncertain. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. Publication Abstract from PubMedCytochromes c use heme as a cofactor to carry electrons in respiration and photosynthesis. The cytochrome c maturation system I, consisting of eight membrane proteins (CcmABCDEFGH), results in the attachment of heme to cysteine residues of cytochrome c proteins. Since all c-type cytochromes are periplasmic, heme is first transported to a periplasmic heme chaperone, CcmE. A large membrane complex, CcmABCD has been proposed to carry out this transport and linkage to CcmE, yet the structural basis and mechanisms underlying the process are unknown. We describe high resolution cryo-EM structures of CcmABCD in an unbound form, in complex with inhibitor AMP-PNP, and in complex with ATP and heme. We locate the ATP-binding site in CcmA and the heme-binding site in CcmC. Based on our structures combined with functional studies, we propose a hypothetic model of heme trafficking, heme transfer to CcmE, and ATP-dependent release of holoCcmE from CcmABCD. CcmABCD represents an ABC transporter complex using the energy of ATP hydrolysis for the transfer of heme from one binding partner (CcmC) to another (CcmE).
