Interaction between cytochrome c and cytochrome b5

Abstract: The reduction of cytochrome c by cytochrome b5 was studied over a wide range of ionic strengths in four different buffer systems. The reaction rate decreased linearly as the I1/2 was increased, suggesting that electrostatic interactions are important in the interaction. The ionic strength dependence of the reaction rate was in quantitative agreement with the theory of Wherland & Gray [Wherland, S., & Gray, H.B. (1976) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci U.S.A. 73, 2950] only if the effective radius of the interaction was 2 … Show more

“…Our random-collision model for electron transport (2), presented here in detail (Fig. 4), explains the ionic strength dependency of the functional interaction of cytochrome c with complexes III and IV on the inner membrane and cytochrome b5 on the outer membrane (28) of the intact mitochondrion and fits the data that suggest that cytochrome c has a common binding domain for its interaction with complexes III and IV (29) and cytochrome b5 (30).…”

“…weak complexes with other electron-transfer proteins including cytochrome c (Stonehuerner, Williams & Millett, 1979;Hartshorn, Mauk, Mauk & Moore, 1987), cytochrome P450 (Tamburini, White & Schenkman, 1985), myoglobin (Livingston, McLachlan, La Mar & Brown, 1985) and methemoglobin. These data suggest that electrostatic forces are involved in complex formation and that as solvent is excluded from the protein-protein interface hydration forces are replaced by salt linkages (Rogers, Pochapsky & Sligar, 1988;Mauk, Barker & Mauk, 1991;Kornblatt, Kornblatt, Hoa & Mauk, 1993).…”

“…These (iii) Cytochrome c and [Cr(en)313' may bind to different regions of the cytochrome bs surface. Cytochrome b5 is a highly anionic protein (net charge -9 at pH 7), and its cation-binding surface is large enough [9] to bind both cytochrome c and [Cr(en)313+ simultaneously.…”

“…Characterisation of the structural features of these two complexes in solution provides a useful means of assessing the validity of computer modelling of such complexes. Various lines of experimental work have established that cytochrome bs and c do form a stable bimolecular complex in solution 151, and chemical modification [6,7] and NMR [S] studies of cytochrome c indicate that the Salemme model is approximately correct in identifying the region of cytochrome c that forms the cytochrome 65 interaction domain even though the specific roles of particular residues have not been fully defined.…”
