additional information | the N-terminal Met residue is removed posttranslationally. No partial proteolytic digestion at the C-terminal part of wild-type Zmb561 | Zea mays |
no glycoprotein | although the deduced amino acid sequence of Zmb561 contains two potential N-glycosylation sites (109NES111 and 203NFT205), periodic acid-Schiff staining of the purified wild-type-Zmb561 in SDS-PAGE gels do not show any indication of glycosyl groups | Zea mays |

ascorbate | additions of ascorbate to oxidized wild-type Zmb561 and His6-tagged recombinant Zmb561 causes a quick reduction of heme b reaching the final reduction level of about 80%, suggesting that Zmb561 might utilize ascorbate as a physiological reductant in maize cells | Zea mays | |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | conserved Lys83 residue in a cytosolic loop plays a very important role for the binding of ascorbate and the succeeding electron transfer via electrostatic interactions. Lys83 might also be responsible for the intramolecular electron transfer to the intravesicular heme. Conserved residues Ser118 and Trp122, located in the putative monodehydroascorbate radical binding site, do not have major roles for the redox events on the intravesicular side | Zea mays |
physiological function | cytochrome b561 exists in the neurosecretory vesicle membranes of the nervous system of higher animals. The cytochrome receives an electron equivalent from cytosolic ascorbate (AsA)1 and donates it to the intravesicular monodehydroascorbate radical to regenerate AsA after the transmembrane electron transfer. Transmembrane electron transfer catalyzed by cytochrome b561 is essential for the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters | Zea mays |
