Escherichia coli ccm in-frame mutants can produce periplasmic cytochrome b but not cytochrome c

Throne-Holst, Mimmi LU ; Thöny-Meyer, Linda and Hederstedt, Lars LU (1997) In FEBS Letters 410(2-3).
Abstract
Escherichia coli CcmA, CcmB and CcmC polypeptides are required for cytochrome c synthesis and are thought to constitute the subunits of an ABC-type transporter as judged from sequence data, Using a periplasmic reporter system based on Bacillus subtilis cytochrome c-550 and E. coli cytochrome b-562 we show that the synthesis of the b-type cytochrome in the periplasm is normal in E, coli ccmA and ccmC in-frame deletion mutants, Mutants deleted for ccmF or ccmG encoding a component of a putative cytochrome c-heme lyase and a membrane bound thioredoxin-like protein, respectively, have the same phenotype, The ccm mutants produce cytochrome c-550 polypeptide, but not holocytochrome c, Taken together the results demonstrate that heme can be...
