• W3159486560 abstract "In eukaryotes, heme attachment through two thioether bonds to mitochondrial cytochromes c and c1 is catalyzed by either multisubunit cytochrome c maturation system I or holocytochrome c synthetase (HCCS). The former was inherited from the alphaproteobacterial progenitor of mitochondria; the latter is a eukaryotic innovation for which prokaryotic ancestry is not evident. HCCS provides one of a few exemplars of de novo protein innovation in eukaryotes, but structure-function insight of HCCS is limited. Uniquely, euglenozoan protists, which include medically relevant kinetoplastids Trypanosoma and Leishmania parasites, attach heme to mitochondrial c-type cytochromes by a single thioether linkage. Yet the mechanism is unknown, as genes encoding proteins with detectable similarity to any proteins involved in cytochrome c maturation in other taxa are absent. Here, a bioinformatics search for proteins conserved in all hemoprotein-containing kinetoplastids identified kinetoplastid cytochrome c synthetase (KCCS), which we reveal as essential and mitochondrial and catalyzes heme attachment to trypanosome cytochrome c KCCS has no sequence identity to other proteins, apart from a slight resemblance within four short motifs suggesting relatedness to HCCS. Thus, KCCS provides a novel resource for studying eukaryotic cytochrome c maturation, possibly with wider relevance, since mutations in human HCCS leads to disease. Moreover, many examples of mitochondrial biochemistry are different in euglenozoans compared to many other eukaryotes; identification of KCCS thus provides another exemplar of extreme, unusual mitochondrial biochemistry in an evolutionarily divergent group of protists.IMPORTANCE Cytochromes c are essential proteins for respiratory and photosynthetic electron transfer. They are posttranslationally modified by covalent attachment of a heme cofactor. Kinetoplastids include important tropical disease-causing parasites; many aspects of their biology differ from other organisms, including their mammalian or plant hosts. Uniquely, kinetoplastids produce cytochromes c with a type of heme attachment not seen elsewhere in nature and were the only cytochrome c-bearing taxa without evidence of protein machinery to attach heme to the apocytochrome. Using bioinformatics, biochemistry, and molecular genetics, we report how kinetoplastids make their cytochromes c Unexpectedly, they use a highly diverged version of an enzyme used for heme-protein attachment in many eukaryotes. Mutations in the human enzyme lead to genetic disease. Identification of kinetoplastid cytochrome c synthetase, thus, solves an evolutionary unknown, provides a possible target for antiparasite drug development, and an unanticipated resource for studying the mechanistic basis of a human genetic disease." @default.
