Through pattern matching of the cytochrome c heme-binding site (CXXCH) against the genome sequence of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, we identified 42 possible cytochrome c genes (27 of which should be soluble) out of a total of 4758. However, we found only six soluble cytochromes c in extracts of S. oneidensis grown under several different conditions: (1) a small tetraheme cytochrome c, (2) a tetraheme flavocytochrome c-fumarate reductase, (3) a diheme cytochrome c4, (4) a monoheme cytochrome c5, (5) a monoheme cytochrome c', and (6) a diheme bacterial cytochrome c peroxidase. These cytochromes were identified either through N-terminal or complete amino acid sequence determination combined with mass spectroscopy. All six cytochromes were about 10-fold more abundant when cells were grown at low than at high aeration, whereas the flavocytochrome c-fumarate reductase was specifically induced by anaerobic growth on fumarate. When adjusted for the different heme content, the monoheme cytochrome c5 is as abundant as are the small tetraheme cytochrome and the tetraheme fumarate reductase. Published results on regulation of cytochromes from DNA microarrays and 2D-PAGE differ somewhat from our results, emphasizing the importance of multifaceted analyses in proteomics.

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 encodes a defense system that rigidifies membranes by a cytochrome c-type cis/trans fatty acid isomerase (CTI). Despite its potential as an industrial biocatalyst for directly regulating the geometric isomerism of monounsaturated fatty acids, its original catalytic and structural properties have remained elusive. In this study, the catalytic nature of wild-type CTI purified P.

Nature has evolved diverse electron transport proteins and multiprotein assemblies essential to the generation and transduction of biological energy. However, substantially modifying or adapting these proteins for user-defined applications or to gain fundamental mechanistic insight can be hindered by their inherent complexity. De novo protein design offers an attractive route to stripping away this confounding complexity, enabling us to probe the fundamental workings of these bioenergetic proteins and systems, while providing robust, modular platforms for constructing completely artificial electron-conducting circuitry.

The contribution of Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria to iron cycling in freshwater, groundwater, and marine environments has been widely recognized in recent years. These organisms perform extracellular electron transfer (EET), which constitutes the foundations of bioelectrochemical systems for the production of biofuels and bioenergy. It was proposed that the Gram-negative bacterium Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1 oxidizes soluble ferrous Fe(II) at the surface of the cell and performs EET through the Mto redox pathway.

Roseiflexus castenholzii is a gram-negative filamentous phototrophic bacterium that carries out anoxygenic photosynthesis through a cyclic electron transport chain (ETC). The ETC is composed of a reaction center (RC)-light-harvesting (LH) complex (rcRC-LH); an alternative complex III (rcACIII), which functionally replaces the cytochrome bc/bf complex; and the periplasmic electron acceptor auracyanin (rcAc). Although compositionally and structurally different from the bc/bf complex, rcACIII plays similar essential roles in oxidizing menaquinol and transferring electrons to the rcAc.

Microbial extracellular reduction of insoluble compounds requires soluble electron shuttles that diffuse in the environment, freely diffusing cytochromes, or direct contact with cellular conductive appendages that release or harvest electrons to assure a continuous balance between cellular requirements and environmental conditions. In this work, we produced and characterized the three cytochrome domains of PgcA, an extracellular triheme cytochrome that contributes to Fe(III) and Mn(IV) oxides reduction in Geobacter sulfurreducens. The three monoheme domains are structurally homologous, but their heme groups show variable axial coordination and reduction potential values.
