Small soluble cytochrome c proteins with a molecular weight of 8-12 kDa and a single heme group belong to class I. [10] [11] It includes the low-spin soluble cytC of mitochondria and bacteria, with the heme-attachment site located towards the N-terminus, and the sixth ligand provided by a methionine residue about 40 residues further on towards the C-terminus.
Cytochrome c is a highly conserved protein across the spectrum of eukaryotic species, found in plants, animals, fungi, and many unicellular organisms. This, along with its small size (molecular weight about 12,000 daltons), [7] makes it useful in studies of cladistics. [8] Cytochrome c has been studied for the glimpse it gives into evolutionary ...
The enzyme cytochrome c oxidase or Complex IV (was EC 1.9.3.1, now reclassified as a translocase EC 7.1.1.9) is a large transmembrane protein complex found in bacteria, archaea, and the mitochondria of eukaryotes.

There is no "cytochrome e," but cytochrome f, found in the cytochrome b 6 f complex of plants is a c-type cytochrome. [12] In mitochondria and chloroplasts, these cytochromes are often combined in electron transport and related metabolic pathways: [13]
In eukaryotes, NADH is the most important electron donor. The associated electron transport chain is NADH → Complex I → Q → Complex III → cytochrome c → Complex IV → O 2 where Complexes I, III and IV are proton pumps, while Q and cytochrome c are mobile electron carriers. The electron acceptor for this process is molecular oxygen.
Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase is also known as cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome bc 1 complex, or simply complex III. [35] [36] In mammals, this enzyme is a dimer, with each subunit complex containing 11 protein subunits, an [2Fe-2S] iron–sulfur cluster and three cytochromes: one cytochrome c 1 and two b cytochromes. [37]
This allows the bacteria to invade the cells through the zipper mechanism. [12] The protein was also shown to localize to the mitochondria of epithelial cells. [13] OmpA attachment to mitochondria induces it leading to swelling of mitochondria. This releases cytochrome c, which causes formation of apoptosome. This leads to the apoptosis of the ...
