Particulate cytochrome c in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
In Agrobacterium tumefaciens the main part of c-type cytochromes is tightly bound to the bacterial cell envelope structures. Several techniques were attempted to solubilize these cytochromes. The highest yield of cytochromes released is obtained by treatment of particle suspensions with 5% Triton X-100. Further purification confirms that the proteins are not really solubilized, but still aggregated in small heterogeneous complexes. Chromatography on a CM-cellulose column demonstrates that at least three different c-type cytochromes are present: cyt c-550, cyt c-552 and cyt c-556.
