Abstract
The cytochrome (cyt) c′, cyt c_(556), and cyt c_2 genes from Rhodopseudomonas palustris have been cloned; recombinant cyt c′ and cyt c_(556) have been expressed, purified, and characterized. Unlike mitochondrial cyt c, these two proteins are structurally similar to cyt b_(562), in which the heme is embedded in a four-helix bundle. The hemes in both recombinant proteins form covalent thioether links to two Cys residues. UV/vis spectra of the Fe^(II) and Fe^(III) states of the recombinant cyts are identical with those of the corresponding native proteins. Equilibrium unfolding measurements in guanidine hydrochloride solutions confirm that native Fe^(II)-cyt c_(556) is more stable than the corresponding state of Fe^(III)-cyt c_(556) (ΔΔG_f°=22 kJ/mol).
