    basic FUNCTION
  • putatively involved in electron transport pathway
  • linking covalently the heme group to the apoprotein of cytochrome C
  • catalysing covalent attachment of the haem cofactor to two (or rarely one) cysteine residues arranged in a haem c-binding motif (Hartshorne 2006)
  • plays an essential role in the import of the apocytochrome c from the cytosol to the mitochondrion

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule other,
  • binds heme and apocytochrome c substrate to catalyze this attachment, subsequently releasing holocytochrome c for proper folding to its native structure
  • protein
  • heme is the central molecule mediating interaction between HCCS and apocytochrome c
  • binding of HCCS to its cognate cytochrome c in the ternary complex is surprisingly stable
  • cell & other
