N-terminal amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-552 from Nitrosomonas europaea.
Nitrosomonas europaea is an ammonia-oxidizing bacterium which contains multiple c-type cytochromes. Few of these components have been assigned physiological roles, but on the basis of molecular weight and redox potential cytochrome c-552 has been considered to be an analogue of the mitochondrial cytochrome-c family of proteins. We present the N-terminal amino acid sequence (47 residues) of cytochrome c-552 and show that this protein is most closely related to the group of small cytochrome-c components from pseudomonads (cytochromes c-551) and is probably evolutionarily distant from the analagous protein (cytochrome c-550) from the nitrite-oxidizing bacterium Nitrobacter agilis.
