You can use wikipedia but you can’t cite it.

Give a description of your organism.

Homo sapiens is the primate species to which all modern humans belong. The closest relatives are chimpanzees from which they are distinguished by greater size, a peculiar distribution of hair, and a larger carbon footprint. Humans are primarily terrestrial animals and can be found on all continents. They are possibly the most thoroughly studied organism although mice, E. coli, and Drosophila are also in the running. – Henrik Kibak, Professor of Biology at CSU Monterey Bay. Figure below is from the National Geographic Genographic Project.

Where in the cell is Cytochrome b found?
What does Cytochrome b do?

See your texbook, Freeman, Biology, 2005.
Cytochrome b is a protein in Complex Three of the Electron Transport Chain… would that make it an integral membrane protein?

• Using the amino acid single letter code, write the primary structure of the Cytochrome b found in your organism. (citation)
• How many amino acids are contained in Cytochrome b from your organism?

To Answer Those Questions You Could:Google “cytochrome b” amino acid sequence Aedes
aegypti to find information or use Google Scholar:
But you will probably find too much advanced material to wade through…

NCBI
• Another approach is to use the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website.
• NCBI is essentially “Google” for sequences.

The primary structure of Homo sapiens Cytochrome b is displayed in COURIER FONT below and consists of 380 amino acids.
Other fonts are a mess for displaying sequence data.

This is the FASTA format for human Cytochrome c.
It is displayed in a non-proportional font called “courier.”
All your sequence data MUST BE DISPLAYED in COURIER.
FASTA format has two requirements.
1. The first line has a “>”
2. The second is sequence.

Directions to Find the Cytochrome c for Your Organism
• Google NCBI
• In the NCBI’s front page search box type in species name and Cytochrome c
• To the right, in the drop down menu, switch from “all databases” to “protein” and then click search.
• Look through the search results starting at the top. You need to find a cytochrome C that is about 105aa long. It will say near the top of each article. Your protein WILL NOT BE “Cytochrome c Oxidase.”
• Once you find the right protein (about 100-120 aa’s long and correct species), switch GenPept to FASTA, you now have a more useable format.
• Copy and paste to a notebook document. Save this file for for later. Copy and past the nicely formatted courier font sequence into your WORD document.
![Page 17: Integrative Assignment](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ecb550346895da935e2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How many amino acids are contained in Cytochrome b from your organism?
What proportion of these amino acids are hydrophobic?
We already know how many amino acids are in your sequences from the GenPept pages.
To get the proportion that is hydrophobic you can simply use the chart on page 47 of your book, tally the hydrophobic ones, and divide by the total number of amino acids in the protein. Should take about 10 minutes.
There is also a website that does the calculations for you (see next slide), but it is frequently more trouble than it is worth.

Because it is so difficult to get enough absolutely pure Complex III from human tissue to crystalize… this is formally all we can say about the structure of Cytochrome b from human mitochondria. However, it is less challenging to obtain a large amount of beef heart mitochondria from slaughter houses. The mitochondria are first purified away from other cellular components. Then their membrane proteins are gently solubilized by detergents and separated into the various complexes by a combination of centrifugation and column chromatography. Finally membranes containing only Complex III are carefully crystallized and x-ray diffraction data collected.

Obtaining vast amounts of yeast mitochondria from breweries is also an option!

All of these heme groups stuck into the proteins are perfect for binding and donating electrons… in exchange for moving protons across the membrane.

Cytochrome c is a peripheral membrane protein found on the inner mitochondrial membrane as a part of the Electron Transport Chain.
Cytochrome c accepts electrons from Cytochrome c1 of Complex III to Cytochrome a of Complex IV (also know as Cytochrome c oxidase).
![Page 27: Integrative Assignment](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ecb550346895da935e2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cytochrome c diffuses back and forth between Complexes III and IV, shuttling electrons. See texbook, Freeman, Biology, 2005.

your organism.

Provide the best illustration you can for the tertiary structure of human Cytochrome c.
Strategy
1. Take the human Cytochrome c sequence and search the structure (PDB) database in NCBI for similar sequences for which the structure has been solved.
2. Download Cn3D to display the structure.
3. Export the structure as a PNG file.

1. Select protein blast at NCBI BLAST http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/
2. Paste sequence. 3. Select “Protein Data Bank” 4. Select “blastp”

It is a lot easier to work with peripheral membrane proteins than integral membrane proteins. Crystal structures have been solved for Cytochrome c from many organisms.

Just like Cytochrome b, Cytochrome c has a heme group that is good at binding and releasing electrons.
