NMR spectroscopy was used to study the effect of guanidinium chloride on the unfolding of horse heart and yeast iso-1 cytochrome c under mild alkaline conditions. The structural changes on the horse heart protein were detected through NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Effect SpectroscopY) experiments whereas (15)N-(1)H heteronuclear NMR was used to monitor the behavior of the yeast protein. The latter represents the first characterization through (15)N-(1)H heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy of the guanidinium chloride induced unfolding of mitochondrial cytochrome c. The presence of denaturants decreases the temperature at which the native Met80 axial ligand is displaced from the iron center under the present mild alkaline conditions. The process can be described in terms of protein fragments behaving as unfolding units of different stability. The comparison between the two proteins indicates that the loop+helix connecting the proximal and distal sites, as well as the long Met80-containing loop immediately after a short helix, are structural characteristics of mitochondrial cytochrome c that appear to be responsible for the Met80-iron(III) bond fragility.

Redox-dependent conformational changes in eukaryotic cytochromes revealed by paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy
Abstract Cytochrome c (Cc) is a soluble electron carrier protein, transferring reducing equivalents between Cc reductase and Cc oxidase in eukaryotes. In this work, we assessed the structural differences between reduced and oxidized Cc in solution by paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy. First, we have obtained nearly-complete backbone NMR resonance assignments for iso-1-yeast Cc and horse Cc in both oxidation states. These were further used to derive pseudocontact shifts (PCSs) arising...
