A small-sized c-type cytochrome, designated cytochrome c-551, was prepared from membrane fraction of the thermophilic bacterium PS3 grown under air-limited conditions by extraction with cholate, precipitation with polyethylene glycol, and successive chromatographies with DEAE-cellulose and Sephacryl S-200 in the presence of a detergent. The purified sample contained approximately 1 mol of heme c per 10,000 g protein; it showed absorption bands at 551, 522 and 416 nm upon reduction, and a Soret peak at 409 nm upon oxidation. This cytochrome showed a single band of 10 kDa on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The isoelectric point of this cytochrome c-551 was pH 4.0. Cytochrome c-551 was suggested to play an important role in the respiratory chain with a terminal oxidase cytochrome o, which is produced under air-limited conditions, since cytochrome c-551 could mediate electron transfer between cytochrome bc1(b6f) complex and cytochrome o, showing quinol oxidase activity.
