The amino acid sequence of a snail cytochrome c has been determined. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 104 residues, and is homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. Unlike the cytochromes c from vertebrates, there is no acetyl blocking group at the N-terminus. A change in an otherwise invariant position has been observed in position 87. Comparison with amino acid sequences of cytochromes c from other sources indicates that the point of divergence of the molluscs and the vertebrates in evolutionary time was 720 million years ago.

The amino acid sequence of locust cytochrome c was determined, although the overlap between chymotryptic and tryptic peptides at residues tyrosine-97 and leucine-98 was not observed, owing to an anomalous tryptic break duplicating the chymotryptic digestion. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 107 residues, homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. In common with other known insect cytochromes c, it possesses a non-acetylated, four-residue tail at the N-terminus relative to glycine-1 of the standard alignment. A molecular phylogeny for 17 species was constructed relating the cytochrome c molecules of Schistocerca gregaria and other invertebrates with those of representative taxonomic groups.

The amino acid sequences of the cytochromes c-551 from three species of Pseudomonas have been determined. Each resembles the protein from Pseudomonas strain P6009 (now known to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa, not Pseudomonas fluorescens) in containing 82 amino acids in a single peptide chain, with a haem group covalently attached to cysteine residues 12 and 15. In all four sequences 43 residues are identical. Although by bacteriological criteria the organisms are closely related, the differences between pairs of sequences range from 22% to 39%. These values should be compared with the differences in the sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome c between mammals and amphibians (about 18%) or between mammals and insects (about 33%).

The amino acid sequences of the cytochromes c-554(548) and c' from the moderately halophilic bacterium Paracoccus sp., I.A.M. 203 (= A.T.C.C. 12084, N.C.I.B. 8669) have been determined. Cytochrome c-554(548) consists of a single polypeptide chain of 83 residues, and dimerizes strongly. The most similar protein of known sequence is the N-terminal half of the dihaem cytochrome c4, and other related proteins include the cytochrome c-554(547) of Thiobacillus neapolitanus and the cytochrome c-553 of Desulfovibrio vulgaris. Cytochrome c', which has a single polypeptide chain of 132 residues, is similar in sequence to cytochromes c' from phototrophic and denitrifying bacteria, but only shows about 36% sequence identity to the most similar protein of known sequence. Both of the Paracoccus proteins have a considerable excess of acidic amino acid side chains over basic ones, and a higher proportion of their basic amino acids is arginine than is usual in cytochromes c. Both these characteristics seem to be adaptations to increase the stability of the proteins in an environment of high ionic strength.

Nigella Damascena

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c from Nigella damascena L. was determined on 0.2μmol of protein. Peptides from a single chymotryptic digest were analysed by the dansyl–Edman procedure. These peptides were ordered by reference to the sequences of other plant cytochromes c, assuming that the Nigella cytochrome is homologous with the other cytochromes. Many of the Nigella peptides were one or two residues short when compared with the corresponding chymotryptic peptides from other plant cytochromes c. These residues are assumed to have been removed by an endogenous carboxypeptidase, and the identification and placing of these residues is entirely based on homology. These residues are numbered 3, 18, 42, 43, 44, 54, 67, 72, 73, 82 and 105. A number of other positions are almost entirely placed by homology. These are positions which could not be placed definitely by dansyl–Edman analysis or by dansylation after digestion with carboxypeptidase A, and are numbered 14, 15, 16, 39, 40, 85, 86, 87 and 88. Except for residue 15, all residues based entirely, or nearly so, on homology have been previously found invariant in sequences of plant cytochromes c.

The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-553, an electron carrier in the photosynthetic apparatus of the unicellular alga Monochrysis lutheri, has been determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 83 amino acid residues. The sequence shows homology with mitochondrial cytochrome c at each end of the chain. The N-terminal glycine is not acetylated and corresponds to position 1 of mammalian cytochrome c when the cysteine residues of the two proteins are aligned.
