Cytochrome b561 catalyzes transmembrane electron transfer.

M Srivastava, L T Duong, P J Fleming

    The Journal of Biological Chemistry
    |July 10, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cytochrome b561, purified from adrenal medulla, facilitates electron transfer across membranes. Reconstituted vesicles showed internal ascorbic acid reducing external cytochrome c, proving cytochrome b561

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Membrane protein function
    • Electron transport

    Background:

    • Cytochrome b561 is a membrane protein found in chromaffin vesicles.
    • Its precise role in electron transfer is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the function of purified cytochrome b561.
    • To determine if cytochrome b561 catalyzes transmembrane electron transfer.

    Main Methods:

    • Purification of cytochrome b561 from bovine adrenal medulla chromaffin vesicles.
    • Reconstitution of cytochrome b561 into phosphatidylcholine vesicles using detergent-dialysis.
    • Assay of ascorbic acid-dependent reduction of external cytochrome c by reconstituted vesicles.

    Main Results:

    • Reconstituted vesicles containing cytochrome b561 facilitated the reduction of external cytochrome c by internal ascorbic acid.
    • This electron transfer was dependent on the presence of cytochrome b561.
    • The observed reduction was not due to ascorbate leakage from the vesicles.

    Conclusions:

    • Cytochrome b561 catalyzes transmembrane electron transfer.
    • This finding clarifies the functional role of cytochrome b561 in biological systems.
