Functional characterization of the C-terminal domain of the cytochrome c maturation protein CcmE.

CcmE is a heme chaperone involved in the periplasmic maturation of c-type cytochromes in many bacteria and plant mitochondria. It binds heme covalently and subsequently transfers it to the apo form of cytochromes c. To examine the role of the C-terminal domain of CcmE in the binding of heme, in vitr...
