Abstract
CcmG is a periplasmic, membrane-anchored protein widely distributed in a variety of species. In Escherichia coli, the CcmG protein always acts as a weak reductant in the electron transport chain during cytochrome c maturation (Ccm). Here we report 1H, 15N and 13C backbone and side-chain resonance assignments of the reduced CcmG protein (residues 19–185, renumbered as 1–167) from E. coli. This work lays the essential basis for the further structural and functional analysis of reduced CcmG.
