Structural basis for cytochrome c Y67H mutant to function as a peroxidase.

The catalytic activity of cytochrome c (cyt c) to peroxidize cardiolipin to its oxidized form is required for the release of pro-apoptotic factors from mitochondria, and for execution of the subsequent apoptotic steps. However, the structural basis for this peroxidation reaction remains unclear. In...

description The catalytic activity of cytochrome c (cyt c) to peroxidize cardiolipin to its oxidized form is required for the release of pro-apoptotic factors from mitochondria, and for execution of the subsequent apoptotic steps.

The structure reveals that the hydrogen bond between Met80 and residue 67 is disrupted.

The steady-state studies indicate that the Y67H variant has the highest peroxidase activities when pH condition is between 4.0 and 5.2. Finally, a mechanism is suggested for the peroxidation of cardiolipin catalyzed by the Y67H variant, where the residue His67 acts as a distal histidine, its protonation facilitates O-O bond cleavage of H2O2 by functioning as an acidic catalyst.
