Description | This family consists of various proteins involved in cytochrome c assembly from mitochondria and bacteria; CycK from Rhizobium[3], CcmC from E. coli and Paracoccus denitrificans [2,1] and orf240 from wheat mitochondria [4]. The members of this family are probably integral membrane proteins with six predicted transmembrane helices. It has been proposed that members of this family comprise a membrane component of an ABC (ATP binding cassette) transporter complex. It is also proposed that this transporter is necessary for transport of some component needed for cytochrome c assembly. One member CycK contains a putative heme-binding motif [3], orf240 also contains a putative heme-binding motif and is a proposed ABC transporter with c-type heme as its proposed substrate [4]. However it seems unlikely that all members of this family transport heme nor c-type apocytochromes because CcmC in the putative CcmABC transporter transports neither [1]. CcmF forms a working module with CcmH and CcmI, CcmFHI, and itself is unlikely to bind haem directly [5]. |
