  ABSTRACT  
 
Cytochrome c554 (cyt c554), a tetra-heme cytochrome from Nitrosomonas europaea, is an essential component in the biological nitrification pathway. In N. europaea, ammonia is converted to hydroxylamine, which is then oxidized to nitrite by hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO). Cyt c554 functions in the latter process by accepting pairs of electrons from HAO and transferring them to a cytochrome acceptor. The crystal structure of cyt c554 at 2.6 A resolution shows a predominantly alpha-helical protein with four covalently attached hemes. The four hemes are arranged in two pairs such that the planes of the porphyrin rings are almost parallel and overlapping at the edge; corresponding heme arrangements are observed in other multi-heme proteins. Striking structural similarities are evident between the tetra-heme core of cyt c554 and hemes 3-6 of HAO, which suggests an evolutionary relationship between these redox partners.

Figure 1.
Figure 1. The oxidation of NH[3] to NO[2]^− by Nitrosomonas europaea. Ammonia is first oxidized to hydroxylamine (NH[2]OH) by ammonia monooxygenase (AMO.) The product, NH[2]OH, is oxidized to NO[ 2]^− by HAO. The released electrons are transferred to cyt c554 (a two electron acceptor) and then possibly to cyt c552 (a one electron acceptor), which ultimately passes electrons to terminal oxidases. The electron transfer pathway following the oxidation of NH[2]OH to NO[2]^− is not fully understood and alternative electron transfer routes may exist^30, including the transfer of electrons from cyt c554 directly to a membrane-bound electron transport chain^31.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
