Plasma Membrane b-Type Cytochromes

  • Chapter
Plasma Membrane Redox Systems and their Role in Biological Stress and Disease

Abstract

b-Type cytochromes (cyts) are a class of redox proteins well known from electron-transport chains found in mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacterial cell membranes. Their physiological function is dependent on the oxidation-reduction properties of the non-covalently bound heme prosthetic group. Each heme molecule (protoporphyrin IX) essentially accepts one electron from a donor molecule. With the notable exceptions of certain soluble enzymes containing a b-type cyt domain (e.g. nitrate reductase, Campbell, 1996) and of cytochrome b5 in erythrocytes which is a cytoplasmic protein (Velick and Strittmater, 1956; Hultquist and Passon, 1971), cyts b mostly occur as membrane-bound proteins. Their coupling to cellular processes is determined by the nature of the electron donor and acceptor molecules.
