The crystal structure of cytochromec5fromAzotobacter vinelandiihas been solved and refined to anRvalue of 0.29 at 2.5 Å resolution. The structure of the oxidized protein was solved using a monoclinic crystal form. The structure was solved by multiple isomorphous replacements, re-fit to a solvent-leveled multiple isomorphous replacement map, and refined by restrained least squares.The structure reveals monomers associated about the crystallographic 2-fold axis by hydrophobic contacts at the “exposed heme edge”. The overall conformation for the monomer is similar to that ofPseudomonas aeruginosacytochromec551. However, relative to a common heme conformation,c5and c551differ by an average of 6.8 Å over 82 α-carbon positions and the propionates ofc5are much more exposed to solvent. The shortest heme-heme contact at the “dimer” interface is 6.3 Å (Fe to Fe 16.4 Å). Alignment ofc5andc551shows that the two cytochromes, in spite of sequence differences, have remarkably similar charge distributions. A disulfide stacks on a tyrosine between the N- and C-terminal helices.
